    America's Thrift Store is based out of Birmingham and they just opened the Decatur store last Thursday. I stopped by today to see what deals there were to be had and came upon a madhouse! All five of the little registers were seven to eight folks deep.
    Why? Cheap deals on good items. Men's, Women's, Children's and even a baby section beckon the frugal shopper. There's a small appliance section as well as household, books and sundries.
    I scored on two tees, a pair of swimming trunks and a pair of denim shorts for just over $8. It was worth the 15 minutes I stood there waiting to check out.
    Definitely a great place to shop for the family if you're on a budget.

    This place is large but overpriced.  They don't have dressing rooms and so you are left to the luck of the draw and they don't offer refunds only exchanges.
    The p.a. system only seems to play Christian music, and loudly at that.  It seriously will wane on you after a while of shopping...I was about ready to slit my wrists and I'm all about some God.  That tells you something.
    The managers smoke right out  in front of the building.  I hate that.  I don't want to smell your smoke.  Thanks but no thanks.  Go out back and smoke people.
    The clothes are ok.  Like all thrift stores, you have to pay attention. There were plenty of stained and holey clothes that could go unnoticed while you are shopping.  
    The baby section was dismal at best.
    The only up side was they have a maternity section.  But, since you are pregnant and need to try clothes on, I'd skip this place.  They don't have any dressing rooms, even though the store that was originally there did.  Go figure.
