I constantly have people ask me what my favorite thrift stores in NYC are. I’ve done posts on this before {thrift shopping FAQ}, as I have a set of shops I visit on a regular basis. When it comes to New York, I can direct anyone to the appropriate shop based on their needs.
But I also have readers ask about thrift and vintage shops outside of the Big Apple and then I’m usually stumped for answers. I always tell people to check out The Thrift Shopper {enter your zip code for secondhand shops in the U.S} and of course I take to my Facebook page for suggestions, which is exactly what I did when someone hit me up on Twitter asking for great thrift stores in Baltimore.
That’s great and all but I figure it’s about time I/we start a Looking Fly on a Dime thrift store directory. The idea is to create a running list of awesome thrift and vintage shops across the country and even around the world. As the list grows, I’ll create a separate Thrift Store Directory page on the site, so you’ll have a place to reference if you need a shop in your area or plan on doing some shopping while on vacation and need recommendations.
So comment below with your favorite thrift shop/shops: the city, name of the shop and why you love it.
Examples:
Salvation Army in New York City on 46th St: great for stylish and antique furniture and the clothes are super organized.
Clothes Contact in San Francisco: vintage clothes that are separated by decades and style and everything is $10 per pound.
So get those comments going and let’s spread the secondhand love!
What’s your favorite thrift or vintage store? Where? And why?
