Shopping Tips

  • Visit on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings for first access to newly processed donations and restocked shelves
  • Dress in layers since you're shopping at high altitude where weather can change quickly, and the store temperature may vary seasonally
  • Bring cash as smaller thrift stores in rural Colorado communities may have limited card processing options
  • Check back frequently since inventory turnover reflects the local community's donations and changes weekly
  • Ask staff about specific items you're seeking—in small-town shops like this, employees often remember what's in stock and when new items arrive
