“The Bargain Box is the best thrift shop around! It's clean and bright. Well organized. NO dingy smell like some other thrift. Go upstairs first you can't bring downstairs items upstairs. Upstairs is the last chance discounted, housewares, men's and kids. Make sure to look all around. Things are above and below. Special times for special items ie furs and some highend designers. The dressing rooms are closed. And there is no public bathroom. The volunteers are ALWAYS FRIENDLY!”
“Worth visiting again and again!
The book barn is exactly that an old barn filled with lots of used books at great prices.
Finding what you want: The shop is well organized a labeled. There is a lot to choose from, yet I wouldn’t come shopping with a specific book in mind and hope to find it. As with all thrift store shopping it’s better to have general idea of the types of things you want and see what you find. Maybe you will find that specific book look you are looking for and that will feel like a huge win!
Everything is pretty well organized and I’ve found the volunteers very helpful. When you first walk in you will see books on cooking, classics, crafts, music, and gardening, etc. (the volunteers are always making improvements so this may change). From there the middle aisle is organized by author and then the 3rd aisle has books on travel, sports, self help, and religion, etc. There is a room for children’s books, fantasy books and teaching (great for teaching your kids at home).
Explore! There is more! The shop has been expanding making room for more books, as well as games, puzzles, CDs, DVDs and Christmas decor. These back rooms may not be heated so come mentally prepared and be glad that the main part of the shop now is! No more flipping through books with your gloves on and trying to stay warm!
Donating: It’s easy to donate bring your books while they are open. The donation spot has its own door. I usually pop my head in a make sure they are ready before unloading multiple boxes of books. If you are coming from a distance with books to donate call ahead. There has been few occasions when the store is closed or not accepting books and you might not know this until you arrive so call before making the trek. While the volunteers take all books donated not all the books get shelved, some books are thrown away. You can walk around and see the type of books they take. So before you unload your crate of childhood books from the 60s that no one has heard of save yourself the hassle. (I’ve never volunteered there I’m just making assumptions from visiting over the last 15 years.)
Bargain Barn: The Bargain Barn and the Book Barn or two different things with their own hours. If you come and they are both open you can enter the Bargain Barn by going past the cashier at the book barn. But you do pay at each place individually. The Bargain Barn has clothes, jewelry, and housewares. Last I checked they do not take donations on Saturdays.
When to visit: It’s worth visiting when both the Book Barn and Bargain Barn are open if you enjoy thrifting. It’s definitely busier on Saturdays and the aisles are tight so it’s hard to pass by people. Go on a week day if you can or come early.
So go check it out the prices are great and the proceeds go to charities! What’s not to love?”
“Stopped by today, and what a wonderful thrift shoppe. Walking in was like walking into my grandmother's house. Judith is very friendly, kind, and professional. It is worth the trip to Pompton Plains. Found nice custom jewelry and near mint condition clothes. What a nice shopping experience!”
“This thrift store was absolutely AMAZING! The volunteers are so sweet, it feels as though you walked into a family gathering and were instantly brought into the family. The prices are such a bargain, and so many great vintage and new pieces alike! So well organized. Would recommend coming here again and again!”
“Tadpoles to Toddlers is a great place to shop. The items she has in her store are in great shape. When my grandson comes to visit we always make sure we stop to o do some shopping. Yesterday he scored an outdoor chair, a new outfit, and multiple wooden toys. Check it out, I highly recommend Tadpoles to Toddlers”
“Definitely a hidden gem. I always find something great here. They have a great variety of items, everything is very well organized and fairly priced. The volunteers are very sweet and helpful and do a wonderful job.”
“This small store is well run and easy to find. Plenty of goodies to be found inside, including designer labels and unique trinkets. The volunteers are so friendly and know the store like the back of their hand. How do they fit so much into this space? Added bonus: proceeds go to much-valued volunteer services in the region ($40,000 last year) .. so your retail therapy will really help the community!”
“A hidden gem! Pretty reasonably priced beautiful items. Shopped in the 5$ sales rack, shoes are 50% off right now. Can follow them on IG @taylorsconsignment for any updates on special hours etc. Offers tailoring services on the 2nd floor. Very kind owner”
“love this place, always find the best things! recently found these absolutely adorable glasses. all the volunteers are incredible, especially the manager Tanya. thank you willing hearts for being so wonderful!”
“Great finds at this shop. Many from Estate Sales. Excellent condition of all merchandise. Great prices. Everything from jewelry, designer bags, shoes, furniture, home decor, art work and wall hangings. While I have only visited the Towaco store, they also have a Madison location. Gina must never sleep because she makes everything look wonderful. This is a store you should not skip.”
“PROS: amazing thrift store. They have a variety of everything and the prices are great! The staff is very nice and the parking is plentiful! CONS: it closes early at 4:30pm which is unlike all other thrift stores OVERALL: great place to come to, just make sure you come early”
“I donate and buy too. Clothing is arranged by color and type. I like the selection of home good especially for the lkitchen. I always find beautiful salad bowls and baking traits. It is in great condition and has reasonable prices.”
“I always find a major gem when shopping here! The place is organized and clean - there are always workers tidying up and keeping things orderly. Some of the sizes are in the wrong spot but it's not enough to keep me away! The staff is helpful and kind. This is my favorite thrift shop in the area.”
“Prices are great got a brand new pack and play for $30!! But I wouldn't try to sell stuff to them because they are very picky and don't pay well. Better to donate to your local womans shelter.”
