St Michael’s Academy Thrift Shop

I have been a few times to peruse and not bought anything. A little too pricey for my taste.
I don’t think I will be back though. Last week my daughter left her favorite stuffed animal cat at St. Michael’s. I left a message but never heard back. Not a big deal. I went by today to inquire about kitty. I told the lady what happened and while I am sure there was almost zero chance of us finding kitty I thought I might ask. She said, «No one left a note.» I asked where they keep the stuffed animals and she pointed toward the back and said; «In the back.» Not very helpful at all. While, this probably makes me seem certifiably insane to inquire about kitty I thought she might ask someone or show me where the stuffed animals are located. I felt pretty blown off and don’t think I will be back.

Great stuff! You have look everywhere in the store for that great find.

Very clean, nice and organized. It is a tad small but I managed to find a few things that I liked and bought. Prices are not too terrible but also not at all a bargain. If your a in the neighborhood it’s a good place to stop but def not a place to go out of your way to visit.

This place seems to be more for cheap knick knacks and things. There were some good cheap clothing items but a lot of the clothes were a little pricey and outdated (not in a good way). I would definitely go back for the knick knacks and Christmas decorations though. Soooo many Christmas decorations.

I have been on a hunt to find the perfect thrift store in my neighborhood. I love thrift town on stassney, but sometimes I want something right around the corner.
I’ve been in St Michaels several times, and always find something. Each time I go, I have a specific item I need or want, and don’t always find, BUT i always leave with something awesome. Most stuff is priced well, and cheaper than goodwill. I’ve always seen ½ off racks, and the past few times, t-​shirts are 63 cents.
The ladies. Oh, the ladies. They have to be the kindest, most adorable ladies in the world. A few weeks ago, my boy kid forgot gym clothes at home. And I didn’t have time to wash them (meaning, «i didn’t feel like it»). I stopped by St. Michaels, found a gray t-​shirt and black shorts. $ 3. The lady inquired why I was buying these items, just in friendly conversation. I told her about the boy kid and his dirty gym clothes. She got a «grandma voice» and thought I was such a smart shopper and just thought it was so great that her store was right across the street, and oh! i was so smart!
I love her.

I went here to look for vintage clothes and couldn’t really find anything. Much of what they had was overpriced. $ 29 for a used casual dress. However, there were other people in the store purchasing things, so maybe they saw something I didn’t. And I can’t give it too bad of a review since it is a charity store… just don’t come here expecting to find vintage treasures.

Great stuff, they’re Catholic, I’m Catholic… teehee. Great prices, seldom picked over because it doesn’t seem people know about it.

Thumbs up to this business whose whole purpose is to provide academic scholarships for kids who otherwise would not be able to attend St. Michael’s Prep School. Fully staffed with parent volunteers, they do their best to be helpful. You can find some great deals but, like all thrift shops, you have to look!

Hmmm… I walked in and straight away saw some really classy non thrift store looking clothing items. Problem was none of them fit. Mixed in the with a few 6 or 7 dollar items, are a lot of $ 20 – 30 items., which doesn’t float my boat, but for those who don’t mind paying extra for quality, it looked like quality up in here. Also the odd assortment of do hickeys and books etc. The lady working the counter was friendly. Not the thrift store of my dreams, but not bad, especially if you are looking for women’s suits, they do have nice ones. And there was this sexy leather jacket… :)
