Shopping Tips

  • Getting the most out of a visit to St. Vincent de Paul Dig & Save Outlet takes a little strategy — here's what seasoned shoppers recommend:
  • Dress for the dig: Wear comfortable layers you can move in easily, since you'll be leaning over bins and sorting through large volumes of merchandise for the best finds.
  • Bring your own bags: Having a sturdy tote or reusable bag makes hauling your haul to the register much easier, especially when buying by the pound.
  • Go early in the week: Fresh donations are processed regularly, and hitting the outlet on Monday or Tuesday morning gives you first access to newly stocked bins before the weekend crowd picks through them.
  • Set a budget but stay flexible: Because pricing is weight-based, it's easy to keep costs low — but it's equally easy to keep adding to your pile. Decide on a spending limit before you start digging.
  • Come back often: The Dig & Save inventory changes constantly, so a slow visit one week can be followed by an extraordinary haul the next. Regular shoppers who visit St. Vincent de Paul's South Park Street location frequently are always the ones who find the best pieces.
