This is the place I go to when Im looking for arts and crafts supplies. The ever changing inventory never fails to entice me to browse and dig for treasures - things I didnt know I needed. Ive gotten GREAT deals on sewing supplies, embroidery floss, adhesives, paints, papers and odd items like a case for my iPhone that cost me $2 and my favorite coral sweater that I got "free" when I purchased a piece of paper for 25 cents.

You can always find something odd and wonderful here, at a surprisingly affordable price. In the past, Ive seen bolts of silk tie remnants, huge bundles of leather scraps, glass slides from museum archives, and stacks of blank greeting cards. This nonprofit mix between a thrift store and a craft store is a must-see for anyone interested in visiting either kind of store.

Great prices on things for projects. They accept donations, take your things here first. Discounts for teachers/ group leaders ;). Check here for office supplies, get the amount you need instead of paying Walmart and having unused stuff laying around the house.

Great place to stock up on paper! Many items arent priced, but Im always pleasantly surprised by my total at the checkout counter. Paper & cardstock is priced by the stack height, instead of counted individually (e.g. $0.50 PER INCH!).

I love this place; theres tons of different types of stuff, a funky fun staff of goofy hipsters, and a an inspiringly creative atmosphere. A junk store put together with an artists sensibility and a crafty, handy-persons eye.

Visit here regularly. Surprisingly organized for this type of outlet - they even rotate displays in the front. Have to willing to sift and dig, but youre bound to find something that inspires you.

Excellent deals to be found. Its always fun to see what they might have next. From eclectic antiques, so surplus stationary, photographs and so much more. They give discounts to educators too.

Get used Sundries for very cheap prices. Nothing very exciting here, and if you looking for arts and crafts, paper, used containers broken toys and the like you might find something useful.

You can find anything here at a very low price, all you need is to spend some time finding it! The very first place to go when you are in need of something to fix something by yourself.

Great place for teachers, artists, and just people looking for random stuff! It’s like the best garage sale ever— You never know what you’ll find there, and at rock-bottom prices.

I stop by here a few times a month and often find something for a creative endeavor. Their pricing can be a bit quirky on some pieces, but overall everything is a good deal.

Best place to find yarn. I have found incredibly nice yarn that would normally be too expensive here at a decent price. Also you can find other cool things there too.

Such a fun place to browse to get your creative juices flowing! Youll find so many unexpected items and naturally wonder, "What kind of art can I make out of this?"

Went here because my wife remembered it as having a wide variety of reused art materials. When we were there it looked more like just another second hand store.

Fun store to dig. Its not really for thrifting as its more towards the art side but there is always something new to look at.

Overpriced second-hand goods. Plan on paying top retail price for pre-owned/thrown-out stuff.
