5 /5 Pete Ganze: As a well known fancy lad and bargin hunter, Ive had ocasion to frequent the Seneca Falls Thrifty Shopper. Its wonderful.
The place is filled with great people and great deals.
On the great people - Robin, the store manager, is always welcoming and very knowledgable about a wide array of Mens wear brands. She wll often critique my finds lamenting that she could have gotten more for it, which makes me feel like a thrifting genius. Jamie, the resident hot chick is quick with a smile. Mike, the hardest working dude in used merchandice treasure hunting is there working hard as he always does. He literally runs to the counter to help check out. Christine knows the words to every one of the 6 songs that they loop on overhead speakers and agrees that Phil Collins is over represented. I think she knows how much I hate Phil Collins, but shes too nice to agree with me that he sucks. Im sorry to leave anyone out, theyre just the ones I saw today. Everyone there is great.
On the great deals, they make it easy to find them. They put the new stuff in the middle of the store. This means that once youve gone through the racks, youve only got 4 new racks to go through on a regular basis. This makes a daily stop quick and profitable. It takes about 5 minutes to recon all of the the new swag and pocket the deals.
Also on the deals, they recently added a One Dollar section and Ive found some great stuff there. Last week, maybe 5 American Eagle Jeans and a pair of Spanx. Good stuff . . . but stay out of there until after Ive gotten mine, please.
The store is clean, and thats saying something. Ive never felt the need to use rubber gloves in there and I carry them from experience. Some thrift stores you need gloves.
Anyway, great people, a fantastic selection of deals. Just go there . . . but make sure its after Ive already been for the day, please. I dont want you walking out of there with my good stuff.
