3071 Coon Rapids Blvd NW, Coon Rapids“Enjoy this location. Well laid out. Quality items priced reasonably. Wide variety of sizes, from infant to large men and women. Beautiful glass ware. Music, baskets, toys, and more. I like that they have several outlets to try appliances, electronics, etc. One of the best deals I found was a Shark hand held steamer for $12.99. It was new. I am a regular. I highly recommend taking a trip to find all the good deals.”
“We had the best girls trip into Blue Bird. Greeted promptly, friendly conversation, so many cute things to look at. My Grandmother was in from TN and she really enjoyed chatting with the owner. I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone!”
“Always a interesting visit. Finding all kinds of things to let your imagination go wild. Everything from A to Z at Ax-Man Surplus.(Have 2say the tall/younger dark haired employee that was cashier, was diffinately not 2happy 2B there that day. Never had a rude employee help me till then. Smile everything will be okay.)”
“The employees are super friendly ! There is toys clothes, accessories, shoes, anything you are looking for they most likely have ! Great quality and clean items. Gently used and new.”
“Amazing selection, spacious and sensible layout for an antique store. Staff was very kind with questions and service. Prices are a bit higher, but it’s because the sellers know what gems they have!”
“Good selection of random used items in good to excellent condition. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Nicely organized and always clean. New items added every week. I'm sure you will find something that you want when you come !”
“Absolutely amazing service, was greeted right away and the man working (I didn’t catch his name) was very helpful and kind. Amazing discounts too, my mom and I talked about coming back with a pickup once she moves to her new place just to get things from here. Would very much recommend.”
“Best place to donate used tools and other items that would end up trashed at Savers or Goodwill. Also supports a great cause.In terms of shopping, prices seemed fair. I'm happy to pay a bit more given that it supports legitimate charity work.”
“Wonderful place to sell/shop gently used kids items. This year, due to covid-19, it was a little different... But I was so impressed how they had all the precautions in place.There's a holiday sale coming up and I trust JBF will, again, have all the saftey precautions in place for another great round of shopping!”
“Best thrift shop I've been to in a long while! Well-lit dressing rooms, well-organized merchandise, and the nicest employees you'd ever wanna meet. I absolutely love this place!”

8181 University Ave NE, Spring Lake Park“Clean and all clothes are organized by color and size. Great prices, selection and quality.So ive met/seen 6 staff members since going to this location and I will say it's a split on service. 3 of the employees were short when I asked them questions (not that im asking for FLO type service so its fine but dont look like you hate your job even tho most people do) and sort of blah sorting clothes behind the register, the other 3 were knowledgeable, hit all the sales points and 1 was even singing down the aisle and that made me feel happy.Otherwise, The only negative thing I have to say is the teething rings at the front door were very dusty, wiping them down and packaging them would help them sell and straightening up the toy area. It just looks visually chaotic with everything thrown up there.Also, shame on anyone who gives them 1 star over the bag ordeal. I saw it on the website, I always CALL ahead if I'm unsure and simply to inquire. Also, Don't smoke around your kids, their stuff or leave it in a garage or smoke in your house and think they are still going to take your belongings. That's just bad parenting and 2 you have a phone to leave a bad review but can't put in 30 seconds of legwork to do research by calling or looking them up.If anything changes I'll update my review.”

1000 E Moore Lake Dr, Fridley“Good values, decent selection, good staff, great mission supported. Store is usually well organized and pretty clean. Frequent colored tag sales @ up to 50 off. Realistic prices w/good weekly discounts in addition. Stock is significantly varied, mixed used with new items. Adequate parking. Shopping, food and gym adjacent.”
“I don't shop at Goodwill often, but last week I decided to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well-organized it was! I was able to find what I was looking for quickly. The staff here were so helpful, kind, and quick. They have a section at the front of the store that offers local school apparel. That was a great surprise and nice that I didn't have to go through all the racks to see if they had any gear. I'll definitely be back!”
“It's not a bad location but it doesn't have a ton of inventory. Good staff and the parking lot is nice and spacious. It's also very easy to get to off the same road you use to get to walmart, this is actually how I discovered its existence.”
“Although prices are on the rise everywhere, even here, it's still a great value over brand new. Sometimes Target & Walmart have similar prices for a plain tshirt or shorts but overall, for kid shopping your better off buying thrifty. For seniors, over 55, it's an EXCELLENT VALUE. Go on Tuesdays for 40% off!”

170 89th Ave NE, Minneapolis“Great prices compared to other thrift stores but tag colors can be hard to determine. I know that sounds silly but grey and blue and white are extremely similar and so are red and orange. So it's easy to get confused at what's actually on sale.”
“Puzzle section is huge! Prices vary from $3.99-9.99 which is more than I'd want to pay, but I buy the lower cost ones! Everyone is really nice that works here. I only come every few weeks or so, as I live 30 min away. I also love looking at furniture, pets stuff and clothing. Oh! And makeup!”
“Good prices and selection of course but the PA system in the store just needs to be put out of its misery, lol. Radio sounds fine but then the song ends and it sounds like your great-great-great grandma Gertrude is voicing the store ads straight from her coffin that’s been in the ground since 1874. Great Halloween effect but I would imagine it’s not intentional the other 364 days of the year…”
“Great goodwill bins that's bright, open and reasonably clean with ample parking. There's a whole bins shopping protocol that you get the hang of after a bit, I just watched what everyone else did! They bring out new merchandise every 20 minutes or so and they stop bringing out new stuff around 3 p.m. I live on the edge and don't wear gloves when I'm there since it's easier to tell fabric quality quickly when you can actually feel it, but some people do. Lots of people shop there, but it seems like everyone is looking for different stuff and there's plenty for all. I always leave with at least 10-15 treasures for my resale shop.”

4471 Winnetka Ave N, New Hope“This is one of my favorite spots to thrift! They have tons of stuff coming in regularly and i seem to spend 60$ there every trip. My one complaint is the dressing rooms are no longer opened and haven't reopened resulting in either, hoping it fits or buying it and if it doesn't you then have to return it. The check out is self check out which can take a Kyle bit of time but overall it's worth the amazing deals!”
“This is hands down my favorite place to thrift! Not only are the prices very reasonable but you'll not find more kind and personable owners and employees! Truly exceptional!”
