Red White and Blue Thrift Store

Incredibly low prices for great brands — yesterday I saw and/​or bought Armani, Isaac Mizrahi, Barney’s, Gap, Banana Republic… a Jones NY evening dress for $ 4. New stuff or lightly used

Even as an experienced thrifter, this place can be a little overwhelming. Trying to squeeze a cart down the crowded aisles is frustrating to say the least. There’s no fitting room (just mirrors) and nothing is sorted by size, so the jeans aisle is always empty. If there were fitting rooms and they accepted credit, then I’d give this place 5 stars.
That being said, there are a lot of great finds in every section– even the shoes. It’s unfortunate that tops are on average about 7.95, where in Goodwill they’re 5 or less. But the variety is great and there are lots of cheap options as well that can be pleasantly surprising.
I found a cute LA Hearts crop top for .95, an american eagle summer dress for 3.95, red booties from ON for 2.95, and a western-​pattern pullover for 2.95 that I am super excited about. Overall great haul and I look forward to going back!

Best. Thrift store. Ever. And this coming from a girl who’s been to quite a few in Toronto, NY, and LA. Something for everyone here. From collectors items to brand-​named goods to vintage pieces. It is surprisingly very organized, too. On certain days, a specific colored tag will be 50% off. Cash only.
Side note: some weird guy was there, scratching his butt from the inside of his pants the both times I went ?? Lol. Anyways, the store still gets 5 stars!

Thrift store survival rules:
1. Bring Cash
2. Clear 3 hrs of your schedule
3. Wear comfy shoes (that slip off easy to try stuff on)
I’ve recently become a thrifter and this place definitely made me feel like an amateur. I walked in at 11:30 am on a Monday (and no not a holiday Monday, just a regular Oct 17 Monday) and it was a zoo in here! I literally asked one of the attendants if there was some kind of super sale going on because I was shocked at how many people were in the store… I couldn’t even find parking in their lot! But apparently this was a «slow» day for them, and nothing special.
So I hit the aisles with my cart and was instantly taken aback at how many name brand shoes there were on the rack! There were Calvin Klein pumps, Michael Kors, ABS, etc. Some of the better name brands were priced a bit higher ($ 30) but were still in great condition. I snagged a pair of brand new Calvin Kleins for $ 7!
I normally am not big into shopping for clothes or shoes at thrifts, mostly because it’s all raggedy looking stuff, and like household things instead. But this thrift is the complete opposite. It actually has a great selection of name brand shoes and clothes (many of them brand new with tags on) and not as many good house things. I snagged 4 blazers Eddie Bauer, The Loft and Calvin Klein all costing from $ 4-​$ 7.
I enjoyed spending a few hours fueled with anxiety from the crowd, rummaging and hoping I would find some kind of Princeton mom’s old Loubton shoes in the rack. Sadly I was not that lucky, but I still enjoyed looking around, I will definitely be back. One star off for no credit cards, any place that has an ATM but doesn’t take credit annoys me.

very pricey things are donated and the prices are really ridiculous. can’t believe they call this a thrift store it is more like retail.

I have to disclose that this is one of my favorite stores to go to. There is always something new, some kind of treasure or treasures to be found, and always things on sale. There are minor negatives, which should not deter a true shopper/​treasure hunter. One, there is no bathroom, and even if there were, I would be scared to use it (but there is a dunkin donuts right next store). They only take cash and their ATM charges $ 2.50. If anything is not tagged or has a loose tag, they will not sell it to you (they do say it will be tagged and then put out the following day). Finally, on the weekends it gets crowded; meaning there are too many people in the aisles, carts getting in your way, and a checkout line (could take 10 minutes to check out).
However, even with all those negatives; I have found some amazing clothing (even new with tags), great furniture, tables clothes, and odds and ends I didn’t even know I needed.
If you believe shopping is a sport, requires dedication but rewards with affordable, but worth more treasures, this place is for you!

I found a few nice pieces, which as a picker is all I really care about. But at the same time though, I’m not about to give this place a good rating. This joint is a damn dungeon. Place makes bedbug penn station aka Unique thrift store look like buckingham palace. Narrow aisles which means no one is getting by that massive lady leisurely flipping through the men’s sweaters looking for that sweet 4xl van heusen of her husbands dreams. Paranoid assistant supervisors of the month eyeballing you to make sure you don’t make off with their rare and valuable platinum fubu collection. Random kids popping out the clothing racks like Narnia. Prices kind of all over the place, but that’s typical thrift shop foolishness. Cash only. Dat tax evasion. Really though? I expect that on the streets of Agrabah but this is the 21^st century. Lady in front of me really took 5 minutes at the ATM.
I might stop by if I’m in the area again.

Great used book selection! Books are in good condition and range from $ 1 to $ 4 each! I left with 6 great books that I have been planning to read for a while now. The only issue is that they don’t accept credit cards so make sure you have cash on hand!

Very clean and organized. Great items and excellent prices. Saturday is the best day for amazing deals.

The parking lot has glass in it, i got a flat there today, the AAA tow truck guy said he’s there all the time for people with flat tires. He said he was just there because another person’s tire got shredded there.
So be careful parking. I told someone who works there and they just shrugged.

Prices are becoming ridiculous. Whoever does the pricing seems to think it is ok to charge inflated prices for brand-​name clothing (for example, a Calvin Klein coat for $ 50, a J. Crew dress for $ 30). This basically means that people on a budget can’t afford anything nice.

Awesome store! It was so packed when I was there on a Friday morning, though, so I can’t imagine what it might be like during other potentially busier times.
So many good deals and they have daily sales on certain tag colors that cut prices even more. Very good for buying work clothes without spending a fortune. Many of them even have the original price tags on them.
Be sure to bring cash with you. There’s an atm inside but it’s a $ 2.50 charge plus whatever your own bank might charge you.

This place is THE BEST for thrifting in Trenton. Designer clothing, shoes, handbags (among other things: furniture, electronics, home wares, etc.). Truly impressed with the quality. Prices can be high if store workers recognize that an item is high end — but this does not always happen. New merchandise is restocked on Thursday!

Best clothing place ever !!! I always come here to buy work clothes as I’m a slop and seem to destroy my clothing. Sometimes the clothes I buy comes with extras. I bought a pair of jeans and there was $ 15 bucks in the pocket. Another time I bought a button down shirt and it came with more money. I don’t know what is going on with the money I find in the clothes here but I recommend checking the pockets while you go shopping there. I have gotten lucky a few times now. yah getting money while going shopping!!!

I’ve stopped by here a couple of times, mainly looking for work shirts for the SO. He likes golf shirts with a pocket and I refuse to pay retail prices when he is just going to get it stained and ruined within 6 months.
The store sorts their shirts by color, and not by size. I joking said to a few other shoppers that it feels like filing (as you go from shirt to shirt, trying to find the right size.)
I haven’t been as successful shopping for myself. The last time I was here, I found 4 shirts for him and only 1 for me. The shopping experience is on the par to shopping at Goodwill, who sorts and displays clothes in a similar fashion.
If you are looking for bargains, shopping on a tight budget or just like to recycle rather than buy new, this is your place.

I shopped here regularly until I moved out of the area. Honestly, I’ve never seen a better selection of mid-​priced clothing brands in a regular thrift store. The prices are reasonable IMO. They are more expensive than, say, Goodwill but the selection here can be 100 times better. I’ve found a lot of pretty useful stuff in the housewares section too like sewing machines, computer cables, and portable heaters.
The serious downside is the staff! I’m sorry, «J.L.», but I’m not white and think all of the people who work here should be fired. I never ask anyone to kiss my a** and think the women who work the registers and stock here are rude as hell! Once I watched a cashier pull a tag off a garment when a customer wasn’t paying attention, tell her she couldn’t buy it for this reason, and then listened to the cashiers say in Spanish how another cashier wanted the item (nice!) The other serious downside is that there aren’t any dressing rooms but they do provide a mirror towards the back of the store… and you usually see some not-​so-​shy customers stripping down in front of it. The store does have that thrift store smell and it is a zoo on the weekends.
When I last visited the area Wednesday afternoon, I attempted to stop by and they had signs up indicating they were trying to get the store open as soon as possible. It wasn’t a hot or cold day, so it didn’t appear to be a HACV problem. Anyone know what was going on?

Pffft I can’t believe the ratings this place gets! There is no fitting room! Good luck getting pants that fit… The price of clothing is nothing special for a thrift store and electronics, applicances, etc. are wayyyyy overpriced.
On weekends (I don’t know about weekdays) it is a complete zoo with kids running all over and aisles filled with slow-​moving cart pushers. Yes they have a lot of stuff but that doesn’t make it a good thrift store… The employees are pretty rude too (the ones who speak English anyway).
Maybe if they had a fitting room I’d give an extra star..

Agreed with an earlier reviewer: this store has the most incompetent and rude employees I’ve ever experienced at a thrift store.
This thrift store pales in comparison to Goodwills in some better locations. The prices are only slightly higher than Goodwill. It’s mildly traumatic to go there for the first time though, because the place smells pretty bad, the employees are incompetent and rude, and most of the patrons aren’t going out of their way to be polite or be polished in how they look or smell. You won’t get a lot of «excuse me» or other polite comments, but you will have to maneuver around people who park their carts in the most inconvenient and inconsiderate ways, as well as people who don’t smell very good. The remaining customers are fine though.
My boyfriend found two fantastic blazers for $ 5 each. I wasn’t as lucky but I think this is the type of place that could yield good stuff if you go often since the turnover is very fast. If you live close by, I’d recommend dropping by every once in awhile… just prepare yourself for a slightly offputting experience. It’s worth it if you can find a treasure or two!
A lot of fake designer handbags and a no return policy means I needed to be careful in the large handbag section… I ended up putting everything back in the end after some close inspection.

There was a brief period when I graduated college — when I moved back to New Jersey with my sister and brother — and did absolutely nothing.
Nothingness in San Francisco is fun. But nothingness in New Jersey — when you don’t know how to drive, and are in walking distance to nothing — would be like eating the fifteen pack of hot pink marshmallow Peeps, sitting on my desk at this very moment — ALL in one sitting. So NOT what’s up.
(the above paragraph may sound familiar. If so — thank you for reading my reviews :) — and sorry for the repetitive New Jersey review beginnings…)
During this brief time — my interactions with the outside world were limited to Friendster, the Maury Povich show, and marathons of Real World.
Surreal — to the power of 5.
Until one day, my younger brother — who also resided in the same said world of nothingness (outside of the ability to drive), was kind enough to offer to take me to Red, White, and Blue on a warm New Jersey afternoon. He even let me control the radio. Massive win.
We pulled up to a large thrift store — with only an assortment of people combing the aisles for bargains. Always a good combination — if you’re hoping to score some cheap treasures.
With a strict time limit (imposed by my brother) — I went big. I scoured the aisles with diligence — and managed to find some old sports jerseys, a sorority sweatshirt (which was cut apart and modified), and some solid T-​shirts.
Red, White and Blue is vast and their inventory is constantly being rotated out. So while you may have poor luck one day, come another day, and you may find yourself with heaps of solid wonders strewn over your arms in front of a semi-​jaded cashier.
The hunt here — is what makes this place so appealing. Shopping here — is like a video game (which actually if you think about it — a thrift store video game would rule. I would definitely rock the high score) — you gotta have fast reflexes, quick eyes, and momentum to win Red, White and Blue.
All of which I have — thanks to my mad badminton skills (
s).
That is all.
Trust.

The Red White & Blue of Hamilton has changed a lot in ten years, but it’s still a decent thrift shop. Thursday is the day the new inventory is put out on the racks, and it’s usually the busiest day. It’s hit or miss, sometimes you find great stuff, sometimes everything seems picked trough. Stuff I’ve found here: a few old Remington type writers, a couple of «travel» type writers from the 70s and early 80s, a pretty nice couch for $ 20, an old chrome toaster, a couple super 8 mm movie projectors, a rotary phone (pink) etc. Lately I haven’t had any luck with the clothing department
And remember! CASH ONLY!!!
