WHERE IS THE THRIFT STORE! I got you, click HERE to visit the store's Google page.

 BUT BEFORE YOU GO THRIFTING READ BELOW

If you are excited to go to this store and race over there, you're gonna be mad when you see everything isn’t $1. And I’m gonna say @Karren did you READ all the info first? And you’re gonna feel silly. Different days have different deals. So please read or your time might be wasted. This is not a consignment location.

The best thrift store in Lancaster, PA. Follow @lancasterisunique for more hidden gems and local spot.

Mondays

This is a good day to go because there is almost NO people. The prices are still affordable and again, everything is brand new.

  • $5 bins and $3 clothes and shoes

Tuesdays

This is my favorite day to go to this thrift store. These prices are super low. I get there when they open. If you arrive before they open you enter into a raffle to get 1 free item while you’re in the store.

  • $3 bins and $2 clothes and shoes

Wednesdays

This day can be a bit hectic. Expect lots of people and no one cares if they are bumping into you. It’s basically black Friday but it is every week.

  • $2 bins and $1 clothes and shoes

Thursdays

If you wanna get the BEST DEALS IN LANCASTER you go on Thursdays. The selection might be good or it might not. But everything is still brand new and dirt cheap.

  • EVERYTHING IS $0.50 yes honey!

Let’s talk about “fill a bag”. If you get 20 items in one of their plastic checkout bags (not including makeup) guess what? Yep, everything else is free. I repeat everything is free after your first 20 items If it fits in one bag.

Fridays

This is like your regular shopping day. The deals are not as great but the selection is much better. No matter what day you go, you will find amazing clothes and shoes. But Friday probably has the best selection and therefore the higher prices.

  • $10 bins and $5 clothes and shoes

Saturdays

So you work during the week. It’s all good. Where else can you get $8 household items brand new and $4 clothes and shoes? Saturday is a great day to go. They are closed on Sunday.

Rules You Should Know At The Bins

Camping outside the store is a no-go.

  • Arriving more than an hour early? Cool, but please hang back in your car until it's time to line up.

  • Speaking of lining up, let's keep it fair and friendly – no cutting in line or saving spots, no exceptions.

  • Let's also be good neighbors by respecting the businesses around us and keeping an eye out for cars coming and going in the parking lot.

Shopping Policies

  • Boxes are like secrets here; they stay closed in the checkout area. What's inside? use the box opening station to find out.

  • You can use your Fashion Cents punchcards here.

  • Once you’ve made your treasures officially yours, they gotta fly the coop with you to your chariot (a.k.a. your vehicle).

  • The motto is "No Holds, No Returns, No Refunds, No Exchanges, No Exceptions." Think of it as a retail version of "What happens in Vegas..."

  • Finally, ALL SALES ARE FINAL – like choosing the last piece of pizza, there’s no going back.
