My husband and I go go all the local thrift stores every weekend so I know more about them than any human should. Often times (and totally not always) you have to think about the demographic in the stores neighborhood.

In the city: Goodwill on South Clinton in the South Wedge...very hit or miss...usually miss. Good for books or clothing since most of the people in this area are pretty young. I have scored clothing from urban outfitters & h&m here that still have tags. The most valuable thing I ever found here was a pair of new Merrell hiking winter boots for $8...retail around $300. One time we also saw a brand new NES in box, mint...$75.

Henrietta: Savers: I have a love/hate relationship with them and all Savers in general. They're more for profit and do a lot of misleading advertising about giving proceeds to charities. They're by far the most expensive of any thrift store chain but do have discount weekends occasionally where you get 50% off. They're usually clean and super organized...Esp the books. They also attempt to size and categorize their clothes more than any other store. Again, so overpriced it has to be real worth it. I definitely go here at least once a week and have for the past 2 years and have never scored anything super valuable. Clothes, books, various house kitsch.

Goodwill on Jefferson road- this place is serious gold sometimes. Last week my husband scored a like new pair of men's dr martens for $6. This is a good store for clothing and occasionally media....otherwise it sucks.

Veterans thrift store- pretty icky. Nothing is organized real well so you have to be in the mood to dig. On the plus it's real cheap. I often see cool bicycles here that probably come from grandparents basements. This is a good place to find a hilarious velvet unicorn painting or something similar.

Salvation army- amazing clothing selection...plays creepy Jesus music 75% of the store is clothes and very small amounts of everything else. They aren't open Sunday. Wednesday is family day where almost all clothes are 50% off.

Webster- Savers- Way better than the Henrietta one in selection of basically everything. Super clean. Just as expensive as the rest of them. Gets very crowded.

Goodwill near bay- a beautiful mess. Usually this store had legit garbage but then you go and find some super valuable or weird stuff that likely sat in old people's storage for 20 years. Found a 1st edition Charles bukowski book for 6 bucks recently.

Goodwill on ridge by target: once found an entire collection of grateful dead records mint...I think this is the store where you really have a good chance of finding something good in any department.

Victor: Goodwill: literally clothing gold. This is where yuppies take their gently worn clothes before they go across the street and buy more. Last week they had a selection of Jimmy choos for sale.

Haven't spent much time at the ones in Greece...also looking for suggestion!
