Retail therapy, but the sustainable kind!

When I imagine my perfect afternoon, it consists of strolling through a thrift shop with an iced coffee in hand and good music in my headphones. As a girl that loves fashion and finding fun things to do on the weekends, thrifting has become a huge part of my life. Not only is thrifting sustainable and eco-friendly, but it’s exciting to find unique items for a quarter of the price you’d pay at the mall. I’ve introduced thrifting to my friends and family, and I’ve found that it is such a fun way to spend quality time together. During these cold winter months, thrifting is a great way to stay entertained.

In South Jersey, there are a handful of Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift shops that I’ve found great pieces in, but if I had to pick one spot to go to, it would be Red White & Blue Thrift Store in West Berlin, NJ. Located only 25 minutes from Rowan University’s main campus, this thrift store is a hidden gem that I’ve grown to love.

Red White & Blue offers endless racks of color-coded clothing, stuffed with unique and fashionable finds. The shop is organized by garment type, so it is easy to find what you’re looking for. Additionally, the clothing is split up into a women’s, men’s, and children’s section. While the women’s section is no doubt the largest, the men’s and children’s sections still have great finds to offer! I’ve found myself spending hours sifting through the racks, filling my cart with pieces that will enhance my closet and add some fun to my style. No matter your taste, there are options for everyone.

Not only does Red White & Blue Thrift have great clothing options, but the shoe, purse, and home decor sections never fail to impress me. I’ve purchased countless bags from this thrift shop, and I seem to find a new one each time I go! If you’re a sneakerhead or looking for some new boots to add to your winter wardrobe, Red White & Blue’s shoe section provides a wide variety of valuable finds.

Red White & Blue Thrift Store is committed to providing quality merchandise at great prices. Their thrift store aims to create jobs and build community around the United States. If you’re located outside of New Jersey, Red White & Blue offers shops in more than 10 states across the country! This thrift store is cash only, so make sure you stop at an ATM before you arrive.

Red White & Blue provides daily and weekly specials that ensure all customers can have a budget-friendly experience, while finding quality items. If you’re looking for vintage clothing pieces, jewelry, home decor, or just looking to browse, this thrift store is the perfect place to stop into. Red White & Blue Thrift Store is definitely worth a visit and could become your next go-to thrift spot this winter!
