The Salvation Army

I have been to this store numerous times and love it! It is neat and clean and usually has a pretty good selection. My wife and I always find a deal here. There book section is arranged very well as is there video section. I always check out the clothes section which is usually crowded but that’s better than no selection.
You can also grab a coffee and snack at the coffee shop there, pretty nice! I think most Goodwill fans will be pretty happy with this one!

Not a great thrift store, but worth a stop.

My thing in thrift shops is glassware, vintage kitchen stuff and furniture. I’m completely serious when I say that I have a disease when it comes to old Pyrex and Fire King and wacky glasses — I just cannot leave that stuff behind. On that front, this Sally A’s is pretty lame. Supes picked over, lots of things missing lids, gorgeous old cast iron dutch oven that smelled like human bones had been boiled in it kind of Sally A’s. OMG, they have Jeffrey Dahmer’s pots and pans! Not so much on the kitchenware, then.
On the other hand, there were TONS of clothes (which I did not have time to go through) and some pretty good furniture finds. Wednesdays are a good day to go as anything with an orange tag is half priced, so I got a gorgeous Thonet of New York mid century desk in pretty minty condition for a mere $ 20. I’m such a good friend that I’m hauling this behemoth up to Chicago for Trent M. since he collects that brand. Hi, good friend, right? I was also very tempted by a nice Steel Case office credenza set (even though I already own one) that was going for nothing, but someone beat me too it. Sob. Good thing, I guess, as if I put any more furniture in my father’s garage he’s going to kill me. Onwards…
Friendly staff, fair prices, large selection of clothes and furniture and some killer sales. Worth a stop if you happen to be in Springfield and you feel like thrifting.
