Thrift Stores near Potomac, MD

“What a beautiful little antique shop I ran across today. The Owners are extremely nice and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable about the antiques history. My husband bought me the silver tea set as a Valentine gift. I could have left with more but did not to get carried away because I pretty much loved everything.I also like that they had soups and beverages for sale in front of their store with a seating area to eat and enjoy the scenery. I plan to refer others. I will definitely be back!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“For those saying the clothes are for older people, well, I'm about to donate all my young people clothes there! Lol have fun!They are mostly nice people working here, but only once they notice I'm donating. Before that, I don't get a very warm welcome. For a small business to stay strong, that stuff matters. Oh well, I know people can be kind, even if they aren't nice. I still donate.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“They have an entire floor downstairs dedicated to upscale furniture and housewares. Designer clothing upstairs and reasonable price. Just don't expect thrift store prices.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The place is good, there is a lot of variety, I just left shopping there but there is a man there who is rude, one of the workers there told him to serve us at the other ATM and he left us second to serve another American and we asked him Why did he do that and told us to go to the other cashier and then the worker told him that why so, if we were there before and that she should serve us and he told her bad words that I won't say here but my children were with me but It doesn't even have that for that. Education”

“Mid sized thrift store— clothing items are tagged with different colours for sizing and sorted by size. The little plastic tag barbs have different colours, which may or may not be associated with discounts. Each type of clothing is supposed to be one price- dresses are all $11.99, sleeveless tops $4.99. Fitting rooms are available but close 1-1.5 hours before the store closes. There is a kind of chaotic energy to this store (see books pic), along with some organizational quirks— eg the end caps on the housewares aisles were curated by colour.”
