Thrift Stores near Chevy Chase, MD

“I’ve always found lovely items at this charming thrift shop. The volunteers who run the shop are wonderful, I always stop by when I’m in the area and recommend it to friends!”

“Visited for the first time today and was excited to find several really great adult Halloween costumes for just $15 each. The volunteer staff was kind and helpful, and they seemed happy to be there. I spent about half an hour looking through all the interesting wares, which were good quality and priced much lower than 8 expected. Great Job, Opportunity Shop.”

“This is a new thrifting spot for me and I’m so glad! There’s a wonderful selection and the store is very spacious. There’s also free parking in the lot, which is a huge plus.”

“I LOVE you ladies, your store and even your website! I can't wait to go back!! You have done and are doing such a wonderful job! Your love and compassion shines through in the careful thought that you put into each wonderful display, making the awesome variety of unique keepsakes as well as everyday use items even more enticing, the compassionate way that you always keep your customers in mind while pricing even the higher quality items (such as a fur coat) and in the Huge love in your hearts shared through your donations to charities!! ... and I absolutely love how you all interact with each other and the customers. You are so pleasant, accommodating and seem genuinely happy to be there! Makes all the difference! Thank you!!! Happy New Year!!”

““The quality is Exceptional”. I was going to get some food near by and I discovered this store. The price is good and the quality of the clothe is exceptional. Fia has a fashion spirit. Thank you so much!”

“The volunteers are so sweet and helpful. There are so many treasures to be found. Everything I purchased was lovely. I was so impressed I decided to become a volunteer in the store.”

“The staff and managers have been lovely to interact with for all the years we have been going there. They try to keep things organized and try to answer questions and open new lines when the wait is long. Being on a tight or austerity budget means appreciating local thrift stores with good customer service. They help us know which days have which discounts and help us check our points balance. Really appreciate the kind interactions when life is already hard enough. Thank you!”

“For the longest time, I have been wanting to visit Humane Thrift Together, but I didn’t get around to it until Wednesday, February 7th, 2024 after I dropped my mom off at the Metro so she could go on her business trip.From what I saw thus far, I have to say that I really love that you can get kitchen and bedroom appliances for less than $10 a piece and sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can get a bundle for a dollar, depending on what it is that you’re looking to but.As for clothes, while I can’t guarantee that you would always manage to find that perfect piece in time for an upcoming celebration or festival, all in all, compared to the prices that I’ve seen on apps like Depop and Etsy for similar clothing items, $10 for dresses of all types and $7 for jackets of all types in my opinion are very reasonable. I mean really, why the heck are gunnie sax dresses so expensive these days?So yeah, all in all, for one bundle of two sushi mats, one usable salad spinner, one authentic kaftan, and one bundle of three soft, vintage clothes hangers, I’d say that paying approximately $16.04 total was worth it.I especially like that Humane Together Thrift supports local animals so yeah, what’s not to love about this charity shop?Oh, and not to mention that the people at the register are very nice.Please everyone, give this shop a try! I promise to you all that it would be worth the visit.”

“super cute small thrift store! had a good selection of business casual/formal clothes. had an amazing selection of shoes and bags!! a little more expensive than i expected, sweaters are like 12-13$”

“St. Alban's Opportunity Shop is a true gem in the community. With its recent reopening, it continues its legacy of providing quality goods at affordable prices since 1955. The shop's commitment to supporting those in need is commendable, and I am proud to contribute to their cause. The weekly shopping hours are convenient, and the friendly staff always makes my visit enjoyable. Whether I'm looking for clothing, household items, or unique treasures, the Op Shop never disappoints. It's heartwarming to know that my purchases go towards helping the community. I highly recommend paying a visit to this wonderful thrift store.”

“There’s a decent selection and the prices are pretty good. Most things are around $10, few are above $20. The customer service was phenomenal. I had $13.00 of $14.80 and the cashier waved the difference. He was super friendly about it, too. The person I was with was also short a few dollars and he waved the difference, again.”

“It’s definitely a busy thrift store but I can see why. Really good selection and reasonable prices. It’s a bit out of my way but will definitely come back! Important note: there are no changing rooms at this thrift”

“As a donor, the process couldn't be easier: no inspection, just drop your stuff into the bins by the entrance. As a shopper, I have found luck with some of their kids' clothes and books, as well as some beautiful vintage glassware. Personally their adult clothing and shoes haven't caught my eye, which they dedicate 75% of the store to. I'd prefer a more curated adult clothing selection as I find the quantity overwhelming with too many items that I think no one is likely to buy.”

“I couldn’t find any clothes for myself but there were definitely some really interesting pieces! The majority of the clothes weren’t for me though, and I’d say their pants section is lackluster. However! There’s not a huge selection, but there is a nice variety. I LOVE their collection of prints, paintings, and vintage postcards. They also had really fancy dishes if you’re looking for plates, cups, and bowls. The staff are also really nice. Would definitely go again if it wasn’t so far.”

“[Part of Giving Tuesday 2019] I can only write from the perspective of a volunteer/donor, but Martha's Table seems to have a strong mission towards helping children and families in the DC area. Our class wanted to organize a clothing/food drive, and Martha's Table seemed to have the most bang for your buck. You can always donate in liquid like every other organization, but not as feasible for someone on the student lifestyle. There's plenty of drop-off locations for clothing and baby items across the city. If you can give food items like canned and dried goods, you gotta go to their Maycroft location on Columbia Rd NW. Easy to just reserve a 15-minute appointment on their website and drop off our load. I see their trucks all around the city serving the community - here's to hoping everyone's littles go a long way.”

“I just started going to this store. One of my favorites, huge, friendly staff. CleanI don't see where they auction everything off too the highest bidder. Price normalfor thrift stores these days.”

“Their hours a limited, like all NMCRS thrift stores (Tue., Thu. 1100-1300; 1st Sat. of the Month 1000-1400) but it's the only one in the DC area. They have a whole room dedicated to Navy and Marine Corps uniform items. If you need extra khakis or whites, check this place out first before going to the uniform store. Occasionally they'll have bridge coats or pea coats or even mess dress (typically only men's though). I've been told there are other thrift stores with a better selection of women's uniforms but this is the closest one to me and it's better than nothing! They also have a variety of rank devices, ribbons, metals, belts, and all those other small uniform extras that you'll inevitably loose and need to replace. Also a great place to donate rank items when you promote (including the ones that you might have to sew on!) In addition to uniforms, they also have a decent selection of clothing. They have small collections of toys, books, and housewares, and try to set up a seasonal display. Items will be discounted towards the end of the season and prices are generally fair for a thrift store. They just recently started accepting credit cards and were previously cash or check only which is a huge and much appreciated change. You need a military ID to purchase uniform items and base access to get to the thrift store, but it's a great bonus for the local military community.”

“Love that this place is volunteer run, and all proceeds go to ARC Montgomery (which serves individuals with disabilities and their families). I prefer to donate all my gently-used, no-longer-needed clothing here instead of to some of the big-name donations centers which are either run by religious organizations or are actually for-profit. This is a neighborhood thrift store, where you can know that your items/money are going to a local cause! I always take a half hour to browse when I come in to drop a donation off -- since the store isn't super big, it's hit or miss depending on your luck that day. I've gotten great workwear staples here (J.Crew pants for $8 anyone?!), and I've also walked away without finding anything. The items are mostly clothes (and are well organized by type, size, etc.), but there are some household items and knick-knacks at the front. Overall, Urban Thrift has become my go-to donation spot, and a good, curated spot to thrift.”

“Love this place, lovely family owned store. They're always so helpful. They pretty much have everything you need especially in an emergency. Best part is we get to keep money in our community over national brands. If you live near by and want them to have something that you know you'll continue to buy they are willing to get it to have it on hand for you (of course be reasonable).Just be careful walking in here as there is A LOT so make sure you are careful where you're walking.”

“Big sale right now. Open on some saturdays too. The staff are very friendly and stop to help you find what you are looking for. The building is very large but all items are VERY WELL organized on racks and shelves.”

“I have only had positive experiences here. The volunteers who've helped me have been lovely, interesting women. The inventory is pretty incredible, mostly jewelry and home wears. Many things will be listed well under market. To me, it's been a treasure and hope others have good experiences, too.”

“Midsized store with fairly good organization and layout, book section is fairly small, two standing bookshelves generally mixed up. Clothing is sorted by type and then sometimes by colour way, but not by size, which leads to more time spent sorting through individual pieces and then checking sizes when shopping for someone specific. Usually one of the older price tag colours will be discounted, there is a sign at the entrance saying which colour. Pricing seemed well within typical thrift store ranges to me, items within the same category can have a range of prices e.g. women’s dresses can range from $6-$12.I would subtract half a star for the religious playlist if I could, I recommend headphones/earbuds if that’s not your thing.”

“First time for my fiancé and I to visit this store. We were looking for a pretty cool and decent thrift shop. Checked google and this one popped up first. Had great ratings so decided to check it out. Arrival to the store was easy to see. Was greeted by the front associates (so that was nice ?). Browsed through and both my fiancé and I found a shirt or two we appreciated. Tried them on in the fitting room and they were nicely lit and clean. We were greeted at the register and also informed on their rewards program, which I appreciated. Due to me being a loyal rewards shopper in most places I shop. Exciting! Told to have a great day and we enjoyed our first experience @Uptown Cheapskate Rockville. Thank you for a smooth process and not to mention neat and organized.”

“I'm very passionate about thrift stores and so when I stumbled upon unique I was very excited. I went a little overboard ha ha. My friend just had her second kid so I spent a lot of time back in the kids section... They have a very large selection of gently used kids clothing at super reasonable prices so I was able to spoil my friend's kids without breaking the bank. The good thing about toddlers is that they grow out of clothes so quickly that most of the clothes we got looked almost brand new. For myself I found that they have a nice selection of plus size clothing for women and I left with a number of new items. They give you a discount on different days of the week and if you bring in items to donate, so I always come in with things to give away which is a good excuse to clear out my closet before I add a bunch of new stuff to it”

“Long time downtown Silver Spring thrift store is open Saturday 9 to 1 and Sunday 12 to 2. Small, curated collection includes jewelry, bags, hats, games, selection of women's clothing, housewares, and framed art. Friendly volunteers and very reasonable prices.Located at Grace House basement at the far end of the (free) Grace Episcopal Church parking lot. Accessible via metro buses Y and Q lines.”

“This is my favorite Goodwill in the the area. I find that items are more affordably priced here compared to the the Goodwills in Falls Church and Arlington. There are only few items behind the counter so even brand name items are on the floor without any special pricing. I have found Yeezys, Vejas and other high quality shoes for less than $20. Books also have a standard price $0.99 for soft covers and $1.99 for hardcovers. Furniture here is also extremely affordable. I have seen a sectional prices at $30. Can't beat it! Unfortunately I often see resellers here who hoard items into carts and pick at bins before the are put out. The store should definitely regulate this”

“Adorable cozy little cottage nestled up in-between a row of antique stores. This shop is a great go-to for vintage tea sets, saucers, glassware, textiles, pottery, and even artwork. They also have a room dedicated to books and another to fashion items. All purchases go towards charity! Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”

“I absolutely LOVE this thrift store! I'm here almost every day and there is always a plethora of high end purses, clothing, shoes, accessories, and 5000000 much more!! Extremely kind staff, always willing to help when needed. I always feel welcome, and treated with a great deal of respect. The staff at the donation center is 100% on top of their game! The staff will unload your car for you, there is never a wait, careful with breakables, and make the experience very pleasant all around. I would highly recommend this thrift to anyone! Thanks very much all, !!!!!!!”
