Shopping Tips

  • Visit mid-week — Tuesday through Thursday mornings are prime time at St. Vincent de Paul on Odana Road, as weekend donations have typically been sorted and stocked by then.
  • Check furniture and housewares near the back of the store, where larger items and hidden gems often sit waiting for the right shopper.
  • Ask staff about upcoming sales or discount days — SVdP locations frequently run color-tag rotation sales that can slash prices significantly.
  • Bring your own reusable bags and come with a loose plan rather than a strict list; the best finds at thrift stores in Madison tend to be unexpected.
  • Don't skip the book and media section — St. Vincent de Paul locations often receive large donations of books, puzzles, and DVDs that are priced to move fast.
