Ok, so this is one of those local secrets. It's a tiny thift store operated by the city and mostly senior volunteers prepping the donations. The other thift shop in Vallejo used to be my favorite, not anymore. I've gotten the most amazing deals here. During Fall when school started I had an empty apartment and needed stuff. I heard from friends about this place. The only inconvenience, they
Open every Tuesdays from 8AM-3PM and
Every first Sunday of the month from 12PM to 3PM.
Angwin is not a very big city, but many retired seniors who live here in their middle class. Then there's the college with students, many from the big city, who move out and have no where to put their stuff (so donates it). Unlike other thrift shops, if there isn't a price tag, bring it up to the register and they'll name the price, no looking for the supervisor and time waiting to find out it's actually a rip. I was amazed how they called out their prices: instant WOW!
So what I've got in the past 3 weeks:
Sharp Microwave (Digital/Big) $11
Large toaster Oven $10
La Crosse Weather Station and Clock $3 The most amazing gadget I got
NEW BBQ Stove Grill Pan $2
New iClicker $2 Which I plan to sell for $30 on http://half.com
Glass Pitcher $2
Big Ben Paper Model with Real Clock $3
100 Filing Folders $1.50
Pair of New Chopsticks $0.50
Tons of Books! The most I've seen in a Thrift shop!
Even if your not local, I highly suggest that you come here and check it out. If you happen to be coming during end of September to October, check out the College Market to see if they have concord grapes (usually 1.99/Ib, locally grown). These varieties taste very good, but smaller then they ones I've had in SoCal.
