I found a St. Vincent dePaul Thrift store today. They were so reasonable in their prices, I could hardly believe it. Some of the flat sheets were $1.50 and $2.00. I have not been an a S.A. store for a long time, but I do know Goodwill is charging higher prices.
Yes, they do offer services to people in need, as does St. Vincent and Goodwill. One thing I learned recently is these places no long accept used mattresses. The big Bedbug scare has caused them to refuse even clean bedding. They just don't take chances.
Buying these Thrift items is another way to support these organizations as they reach out to help others.
