It's the kind of secondhand shop where a single visit might land you a quality kitchen appliance, a unique wall piece, or a nearly-new jacket — sometimes all at once.

Shopping Tips

  • Get the most out of your visit to Thrift Star! in Port Angeles with these insider tips:
  • **Visit on Tuesdays** — the first day of the week the store opens, making it the best time to catch freshly stocked items before the weekend crowd moves through.
  • **Go through the whole store before committing** — Thrift Star! rewards thorough browsers, and the best finds are often hidden in plain sight on a second pass.
  • **Check all size sections** — thrift store sizing can be inconsistent, so browsing one size up or down from your usual often turns up overlooked pieces.
  • **Come back regularly** — with nearly 50 reviewers already singing its praises, inventory moves fast; making Thrift Star! a weekly or biweekly stop dramatically improves your odds of a great find.
  • **Bring cash as a backup** — while many thrift stores in Port Angeles accept cards, having cash on hand keeps checkout smooth and quick, especially for smaller purchases.
