Thrift Store Field Trip - Eco Thrift in Citrus Heights

tarab — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:58:35 GMT

This place is worth the detour if you're ever in the Citrus Heights area with a few hours to kill (it takes that long to really get a feel for the place). They have different colored tags on the merchandise, and they place two or more colors half off each day. I bought a garbage bag full of clothes for $33. closed on Sundays

Need your advice? Thrift Town in San Leandro or Fremont?

Marie — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 02:33:22 GMT

Hi Everyone,
I'm making a fun trip out of working on a Harvest Festival up in Yolo County, leaving this Thursday Oct. 4. Had to work weekends all summer and haven't been outta town for 9 months. So I'm making this an extra long weekend with cool stops along the way up and back. I read on here people gave the San Leandro Thirft Town 5 stars. Also saw the Fremont one got high marks too. Since I will also be going to the Grocery Outlet, probably in Newark or Hayward, which Thrift Town would you recommend if I could only fit in one with the GO stop?
I may go thrifting on Thurs. and then since I'm camping, it would make sense to buy the food on the way home. (I'm working a food booth at the Festival, so I don't need food for the weekend!)
After serving 5000 folks in one day, I'm off to Wilbur Hot Springs for the first time on Sunday night for a soak and a massage!
You're probably all hip to this site, but I just discovered it and it's a great resource for planning a trip that includes out-of-town thrifting!

Thanks Thrifties,
Marie

salvation army AS IS store

FranCo — Sun, 20 Feb 2005 15:42:10 GMT

One of my favorites is the salvation army AS IS store: 11 th street near market. Every clothing item is $1.25. Blankets are $2.00. ( I have bought relatively clean looking down blankets there and washed them. For two bucks!) Often the cashiers don't take the care to count every last item.

The draw back: you have to dig through huge bins to find that special treasure. This is a job only for the bold 2nd hand shoppers.

Store closes at 3:30 pm and opens at 9:00 or 9:30?

Around the corner - South Van Ness @ Mission, is a large regular Salvation army store. Different store hours than the as is store.
