Thrift Gifters – Here are 10 Thrift Stores in the Evansville Area to Shop this Holiday Season

Momma Knows Best

Growing up, we never had a lot of money, making bargain shopping a necessity. However, my mom always showed me how much fun it could be to go thrifting. Anytime we went clothes shopping or on the hunt for a specific item we needed, her excitement over a great find was nothing short of contagious. How can you not share the sentiment when your 5'6" momma is standing in the middle of an aisle holding the next best thing exclaiming "Look what I found!"

That rush of searching for an uncovered treasure definitely followed me into my adult years. In fact, I prefer to look for a unique vintage item over buying from a box store any day. Nothing beats the hunt for that seemingly impossible-to-find item and the burst of joy once it's finally in your hands. No wonder my mom did so much jumping and hollering in the middle of thrift stores.

The Thrift Store by Evansville Rescue Mission

For 100 years, the Evansville Rescue Mission has been a vital organization helping those in need throughout the tristate. This long-standing charity also provides a thrift located in Washington Square Mall that carries clothing, appliances, furniture, and knick-knacks. Not only is it staffed by volunteers from the Rescue Mission's own program, but the proceeds raised from purchases are to directly benefit their various ministries. While shopping, don't forget to also stop for caffeine at their coffee shop, Mission Grounds, located right next door.

American Pride Thrift Store and More

When I say this veteran-owned shop has loads of stuff, I mean you may need a rescue team to drag you out of here. This place is FULL of vintage items, furniture pieces, and they even make custom flower arrangements.

Goodwill

Of course, no thrift shop list is complete without mentioning Goodwill. No doubt one o the most popular organizations to shop secondhand on clothing, furniture, household items, and more. It is my mom's personal favorite and my first stop when I indulge in some retail therapy shopping for used books. With the abundance of Goodwill haul videos on Youtube, it's no surprise why these thrift stores are frequently visited.

Habitat for Humanity Restore

Whenever you hear the words "Habitat for Humanity," do you automatically think of building houses? Well, the non-profit organization also owns thrift stores where you can find home decor and furniture galore including items like cabinetry, appliances, and bathroom sinks. They also love to run sales on their Facebook page saving you even more money. Whether you are in search of an item for your own home or love to refinish furniture for others, this is definitely a place to shop. Even better, all proceeds go towards the charity's work for the community.
