There's something to be said about a well organized thrift store. To find clothes that are actually smalls under the "small" section, or to find Holiday clothing on its own separate rack (which I know where to go for those pesky Ugly Christmas Sweater parties this year).
It does take some digging to find good finds here, like any thrift store I suppose, but most likely you will find something worth buying. The clothes here actually look like they've been cleaned before entering the racks (Catholic goodwill maybe?) And don't forget to check out the back area, full of furniture, books, records (though, it was a pretty lame selection--another Catholic screening perhaps...?), and random stuff (including ribbon, stationary and really old VHS tapes).
Its right across from the library, and it looks like they get new shipments in pretty often, so its worth checking out every so often. Prices are pretty cheap too. -

In about 40 minutes I bought: 4 skirts & 4 long-sleeved shirts/sweaters, all from well known & reputable clothing manufacturers, all in excellent condition (a couple things even still had their original full-price hang tags); 8 skeins of still-factory-wound yarn in 2 colors (enough for a baby blanket or a basic sweater). Grand total: 27 smackers. Fo' real. I am clothed for a work-week and entertained in front of my tv in the evenings for about a month, *and* I supported charity. Word to your self-serving philanthropy.
Hidden bonus: no hipster-judgment from the folks running the place (as I sense in other secondhand spots in the area more concerned with status). The volunteer staff are awesomely nice on every level. -

Is $4-a-gallon gas behind Overland Park's thrift store boom? I've heard news reports that charities around the country are selling their inventory as quickly as it comes in; but is that because donations have slowed down, or because more people are shopping at thrift stores out of necessity? I decided to find out by checking out a couple of recent additions to the 87th & Farley area.
Turnstyles was the first store I visited. It's run by Catholic Charities and operates with the mission of helping those who might otherwise fall through the cracks. Turnstyles is probably three times larger than its neighboring thrift store, so there's a larger variety of items for sale. You can find clothing, furniture, housewares, electronics, toys - even antiques. To me the odds and ends were the coolest stuff, with everything from empty eight-packs pop bottles to baby bathtubs and Neil Diamond cassettes. Talk about doing the Time Warp!
If you suddenly find yourself without the necessities of life, you can find most of them - reasonably clean and in good shape - at Turnstyles. On the other hand, if you have a spare bed or light fixture, donate them to Turnstyles. Plenty of people could use them. -

Operated by Catholic Charities of Kansas City, this large store includes furniture, appliances, a large kitchen and a household goods section, in addition to clothing, books and jewelry. A must-see for furniture bargain hunters.
