I’ve been going to St. Vincent’s for six years now, since I didn’t live in Minnesota before that, haha. I’ve known the different salespeople and managers there for about as long. I love their store. It is not that they have a big variety of things or that they have things at unbelievable prices, it is that they run the store as if it belongs to the neighborhood, which it kind of does. They always have a small food shelf for people to grab bread or other items, they are always smiling and always say hello to people. What else could one ask for? They are very reasonable with pricing and always have new things on the shelves. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be wearing some of the nice clothes and shoes that I own. Or have bought my coffeemaker, or my iron, or even my shelves. For me, they are a store that carries most of the items I need on a day to day basis, at prices I can afford. I recommend them 100%!

I wish I could live this place– but their prices are higher than goodwill now and they don’t even attempt to make it look nice. I know they have volunteers there everyday– because I used to volunteer there– so put them to work!!! There is always some sort of Furniture piece in the back room I would totally buy if it wasn’t over $ 120 every time! In and out should be be the main goal– the higher priced stuff sits in there until they have to mark it down multiple times. As for the findings, I’ve found some cool stuff before.

This place has everything. Literally. Don’t forget to open the drawers behind the women’s clothing. Girdles, tights, socks, underwear, and a lot of it archaic or interesting although still in very good shape(hah) exist in those drawers. To my great amusement, the friend that accompanied me on my last visit purchased an almost full box of tampons for $ 2 that she found in one of the drawers. The selection of less-bizarre clothing and household items is very broad. In the past I have found some really great dresses and my mom has a really rad winter coat. The prices are absurdly good across the board. As I’m sure you can tell, I mostly love this shop for the oddities. There are quite a few: eye cup for medications? solo plastic baby Jesus lawn ornament? half a blender? a corner full of religious books with a sign asking customers to rat out some religious book vandal if spotted? all present and more. I don’t shop here often but it’s a joy every time.

This is one of my favorite thrift stores. You do have to be familiar with the«old school» style of thrift to understand. They keep it very clean but it is crowded and there are many, many different people shopping there. This is why I love it, they serve those in need by cheap prices and I even saw them give someone an outfit once because he asked. I know some people are die hard Goodwill fans but I can guarantee they would not hand someone an outfit if they asked. They also have cool vintage and all sorts of awesome stuff.

Scary, smelly, dingy, scary, small, and worst of all, overpriced! Do not go here, there are goodwills around that are much better and Sophie Joe’s Emporium is right next door!

I am always looking for a good deal and this is place that I ususual find what I am looking for. From clothes, shoes, dishes and collectable this is the place to go. Don’t get me wrong you have to do some searching and digging but it is worth it, and once in a while I end up empty handed. Saturdays they give away bread, muffins and sweets, get there early they for best selection, but they are free. They come from Lunds and the Breadsmith. Yum
