I’m sure you’ve seen this store on Kansas Expressway when heading to Wal-Mart, IHop, or even Buffalo Wild Wings. But have you ever considered visiting this charming little store?
There are so many incredible finds here. I absolutely love it and will be visiting more often. When I went in recently, they were all decorated for Christmas! At the front of the store, I was greeted by tons of Christmas trees for sale. I’m still considering going back for one.
Here’s an overview of all the things you can find:
Clothes. So many clothes. They hang them up on mannequins and their sorted pretty well. Haven’t bought clothes here before. But they have a lot of them.
CDs and CD-ROMs. Have you ever felt nostalgic and just wanted to listen to a CD because maybe Spotify or Apple Music have became too expensive? Or maybe you want to relive your childhood and play Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on CD-ROM? Maybe that’s just me? Well, anyways, you can find a multitude of CDs and CD-ROMs here. Haven’t rummaged through them too much. But I will someday.
Books. Wow, what an awesome selection. Channel your inner Belle from Beauty and the Beast and buy all of the books your heart desires. Hardbacks. Paperbacks. They have them all.
Board games. The board games are located on top of the bookshelf. This looks like the best, gently-used selection of board games I’ve found thus far in the Springfield thrift community.
Art. They have a wide selection of art. I wanted these illustrations of dogs, but I couldn’t justify buying them at the price they were. It’s not that they were expensive, but it was that they were more than I wanted to spend.
Frames. Their frames are nicely organized on a bookshelf with lots of different sizes. Start framing some magazine collages, inspirational quotes, or pictures of your best friends. Quit going to stores to buy expensive frames. So. Not. Worth. It.
Vases. They have so many vases. There’s this big level of shelves in the back room that have a lot of diverse vases for all of your fake and real flowers.
Selected furniture. This is a great place to find gently-used wooden furniture and lamps. Don’t overlook it.
Luggage. Not sure if you’re a fan of this site called Pinterest or anything, but I’ve seen some cute photographs of vintage suitcases or DIY recycled suitcases. Biggest selection of furniture I’ve found, hands down.
TVs. And they’re all on, playing the same show. So it’s good to know they still work. Not a gamble purchase.
Shoes. Still looking for that perfect pair of penny loafers? I am too. They’re probably on one of the racks along the lime green walls.
Records. Perfect for decorating or listening purposes. They’re located right next to the cash register.
Missouri Council of the Blind is Missouri’s largest blind consumer organization in Missouri that helps people who are visually impaired. Proceeds from all items bought go to programs that help improve lives of the visually impaired through state and local programs. Missouri is one of the few states that offers a Blind Pension for visually impaired people. With that being said, Missouri Council of the Blind is a beneficial organization that offers one of the country’s only pension programs for the blind.
