What They Sell

As the name playfully suggests, THINGS & stuff deals in a broad mix of secondhand goods — exactly the kind of eclectic, rotating selection that makes thrifting worthwhile. Shoppers can expect to find household items, decorative pieces, clothing, accessories, and the occasional furniture or collectible that makes the whole trip worth it. Since inventory at a secondhand store like this changes constantly, no two visits look the same. That unpredictability is part of the appeal — Portsmouth thrifters know that what's on the shelves today won't be there next weekend.

The Neighborhood

Green Street sits in a working-class, historically rooted part of Portsmouth, VA — a city with deep maritime character just across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk. The area has an authentic, lived-in feel that fits a thrift store perfectly. Close to downtown Portsmouth and accessible from major routes connecting the Hampton Roads region, the location makes THINGS & stuff a practical stop for shoppers from Portsmouth and neighboring communities.

Parking

The Green Street location in Portsmouth, VA is in a neighborhood setting where street parking is typically available along the block and surrounding side streets. Parking is generally low-pressure compared to busier commercial corridors, making it an easy stop without the hassle of crowded lots. Arriving a few minutes early on busy weekend afternoons gives you the smoothest experience.

Shopping Tips

  • Show up at or just after noon on Saturday to get first access to freshly stocked inventory before the best pieces walk out the door.
  • Bring cash if you have it — smaller independent thrift stores often prefer it and you may have more flexibility on prices.
  • Don't skip items that need minor repairs or cleaning; THINGS & stuff, like most honest thrift shops, prices for as-is condition, meaning a little effort on your end can turn a $3 find into something you'd pay thirty for elsewhere.
  • Visit both weekend days when you can — inventory can shift significantly between Saturday and Sunday as items sell and new stock gets put out.
  • Check your measurements before you go if you're hunting for furniture or home goods; the Green St location doesn't have the warehouse square footage of a big-box thrift chain, so pieces move fast and you'll want to be ready to commit on the spot.
