Nifty As Is

Great values, wonderful people. Love this store! On the last Saturday of every month they have a half price sale. Mostly clothes, but some household stuff.

I love love love this place. Every piece of clothing is a reasonable price. I love thrifting and this place is a must go. I knew when I got there id find something is really want. Also the people who work there are extra kind. Plus! It’s fun digging through their bins. Like a treasure hunt I suppose. Definitely coming back.

Prices are excellent. Staffed by adults with disabilities. They are always very friendly. This thrift store knows how to price products for quick turnaround. There are some bins to dig through and lots of clothes also nicely hung on racks. Lots of drawers to look through also. The shoes always seem very used, but the clothing is mostly nice. Lots of plush, games and books as well. I will return often.

Today was my first day at Nifty As Is, and I am definitely coming back! Thrift Shopping is one of my absolute favorite things to do, and this place just made it 10 times better for me!
First off, all the money goes towards a good cause. The money they make goes towards helping disabled adults, and it’s so wonderful.
The minute my brothers and I walked in, we were greeted by the employees! They were so nice and friendly (much better than any Goodwill or Salvation Army I’ve been to!) Yes, the store is small, it’s about the size of a cute little boutique, but there’s a lot of stuff packed in there!
All of the belts are $ 1, the purses range from $ 2-​$ 5, the tank tops and shirts are $ 1, and pants are $ 2. They also have a lot of shoes, books, DVDs, etc, but I didn’t have enough time to look through everything!
I was able to find 6 belts, 2 purses, 2 pairs of high-​waisted pants (that are going to be shorts very soon), 1 blazer, and 1 hat all for $ 16.24! That’s a great deal, if you ask me!
Overall, I’m so pleased with my experience here, and I will be coming back every week to see if they have new stuff :)

This store did not impress me one bit. Though I can’t complain about the prices (cheap!) — sales can go as low as $.50 cents.
The reason why I give this store 2 stars is that I couldn’t find at least one thing to buy (I tried forcing myself to buy something — anything) because of the prices but even that, I left empty-​handed. Most of the clothes are out-​of-​date/​old fashion — whatever appropriate name to call it but definitely not my taste of style. I would recommend this store for those who are interested in some serious vintage shopping. Besides clothes (men, women and children), there’s some home appliances/​décor (bed, bath and kitchen), furniture, accessories, handbags, etc.
If I had known (beforehand) that the sales benefit a nonprofit for adults with disabilities, I would’ve donated money. It’s the least I could do.

Okay digging through heaps of stuffy you don’t like to find a super deal on something that you do is half of the fun of thrift shopping. Treasure hunting means you have to sift through what some people see as junk to find that one in a million sweater or vintage ring.
I always drive by this little shop on the way to one of my jobs. I seen a guy in a wheelchair sitting outside with merchandise and signs saying its a thrift store. So, on my lunchbreak I went by just to check it out. The staff was really friendly and the store was really clean. A little crowded, but really lots of little stores are (mom and pop stores in the city, thrift stores. pawn shops, you treasure hunters know the routine) I really don’t mind how crowded it is because it eliminates the weak and lazy who dont really take the time to dig through shit and find that one thing thats like… «BUY ME BUY ME»
Anyways, back to the store… (do I have adhd or do i have adhd? lol) there were signs that says something about clothes being a dollar every day. I found a really cute woven purse, a little old school retro vintage sweater. a buck each. I srsly would have paid 40 bucks for the sweater and 15 for the purse. FREAKING SCORE!!! Needless to say, It was a damn good deal, less than the price of a gallon of gas. Ill be back to check out the ever changing thrift store goodies.
I would like to add the the staff was really friendly and I guess the store is a non profit who helps and trains some disabled people to help run the store. They were really cool and helpful. Not only did I find a great steal but it was a for a good cause… SHIET it doesnt get any better than that. What better way to justify spending your money! :D
Don’t forget that if you got it at a thrift store, your not going to see a billion other people with it on. Remember that time you bought that sweater from macys and then were shocked when the lady in front you had the audacity to be wearing «your sweater» lol… silly. If you shop where 100,000 other people shop dont be suprised when 100 people in a 20 mile radius have the same exact sweater you have.

Before I enter a thrift store, I frequently get a tingly feeling telling me that I am going to find something fantastic inside. Maybe it’s a great pair of shoes or maybe it’s a Jesus painting on black velvet. Either way, my bargain hunter’s ESP frequently goes off before I have even entered a thrift store.
That’s why I thought that Nifty As Is was going to be fabulous and chock full of unbeatable finds. It wasn’t. Not that it’s bad, it just didn’t blow me away. Clothes here are unbelievably affordable — just $ 1 for anything, but I had no luck with clothes or shoes. They seemed to have quite a bit in the way of housewares too, but nothing that was worth me forking my money over.
The sales benefit a nonprofit that helps adults with disabilities and many of the clients are also employees — so one star alone for that. And although I haven’t found anything great there yet, I am going to keep trying — at least until my bargain hunting ESP stops going off.
