Sobe Thrifty

Made it to this storefront today. No thrift store at the posted address, plus a closed sign in the window. What the «blank!» Very frustrated!

You find everything here from clothes, new and old, toys, home goods, dvd’s and furnitures. Come and take a look. It’s fascinating what you will find there. Prices are ok. Not cheap.

If you haven’t been to the fabulously renovated SoBe Thrifty, then you’re missing the shopping experience of the new millennium.
The store provides critical funding for Care Resource’s clinical programs. In addition, the store provides clothing and household merchandise to eligible clients.
This service is provided not just to Care Resource’s clients but for clients from other agencies throughout Miami-​Dade County. Care Resource provides a «one-​stop» place for primary medical care, oral health care, research studies, information and referrals, medical case management, mental health and substance abuse counseling, counseling and testing, health screenings and support services.
The store has top quality, brand name merchandise at incredible discount prices. They sell furniture, books, lamps, electronics, shoes, clothes, dishes, records, movies… and a whole lot more.
They also have FREE HIV /​STD TESTING (Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia) From 10AM to 4PM (Mon, Tues, Thur, Fri). This is a great health benefit to the community.
Alton Road may be a mess right now, but SOBE Thrifty is still there so check it out. They need donations, so dig out some items in your closet and support SOUTH BEACH’S thrift store.

I love SoBe Thrifty we have been shopping there for years now ~ the employees are all so wonderful with hearts of gold ~ lovely day to everyone ~ if you are on Miami Beach you should stop by and visit them ~ great prices ~ wonderful people ~namaste

Tucked away in a corner, it’s really organized well and clean. Prices are completely reasonable. Good amount of records and books. I always find some sort of oddity in the home section to take home. Worth a visit.

Sobe Thrifty is such a fun thrift store. I’m on my way to becoming a professional thrifter so while in Sobe I just had to check this place out. The saleswoman Lisette is such a great woman. I truly enjoyed her as well as her fashion advice.
I love the variety of things that this thrift store offers. I went with my girlfriend who purchased a bunch of records-​great hard to find records. I on the other hand am an accessories person and boy did that come in handy. I found the most amazing scarves that will look great during the fall for about $ 2 and $ 3.
Oh and did I mention I purchased Christmas lights for $ 2. Again I must stress that the variety of this place was awesome from the clothes, furniture, sports equipment and even children’s merchandise.
In addition, I loved that all the profits from the store goes to AIDS funding and care. That’s such an excellent cause and another cool reason to buy.
Big fan who will definitely be back.

I’m definitely a fan of Sobe Thrifty.
The selection of clothes is hit or miss, but I HAVE bought a few sundresses here, each of them under $ 10! I’ve also picked up some unique dishes and glasses for photo shoots of food for my blog, which is also nice.
What I LOVE about Sobe Thrifty, however, is what they stand for. All of their proceeds go to Care Resource, an organization I really believe in.
Also, the people that work there are really friendly, and they always take my donations… ummm, perhaps that’s why their selection is hit or miss???

If you are on Miami Beach and not willing to travel over, this place is the top 2 for the island that is South Beach! A local staple for years, they hoard everything from eccentric clothing to household goods, children’s toys, used books, and more! Make sure you wander all the way to the back, especially if you are looking for larger items like furniture. It’s a hit or miss kind of place if you are looking for wearable fashion items, but with some of the cheapest thrift prices on the beach you are bound to at least find a cool trinket! If you miss, trust me, try again!

I had to make two trips to find this store-it’s not exactly hanging
our a red flag-​but once I got there, i was pleased with the
assortment-​or rather the prices for what they have. As with
all thrift stores, it depends on the day etc. But the place
donates all proceeds to AIDS and the store personnel were
friendly. A lot easier to find than the goodwill.

I live around so I’ve been few times there trying to give it another opportunity but I never find anything + everything is overpriced. They have lot of normal clothe, like the one you bought 5 years ago and you don’t use it anymore. Nothing special, nothing vintage, just unnoticed clothing for $ 15, bags for $ 50. You can find new stuff for those prices.
I’m a big thrift shopper so if you’re looking for the melancholy of old stuff, vintage, collectibles or cool stuff this is not your place.
They have good air conditioning and good music and the only woman working there is super cool.

I’ve been into this store several times and have NEVER bought anything. I keep trying though!
I’ve donated stuff that I needed to get rid of that was decent merchandise for others and got the tax write off which is cool for both parties as this is some kind of Non-​Profit that helps AIDS patients or something.
I’ve had out of town girl friends raid this store for thier deals and practically have to pry them out of the place. For me though, for example, I went there to get a pair of Khakis and couldnt find anything. NOTHING.
I keep trying though hoping one day to find a cool T-​shirt or something and in my opinion thier prices are high for whats a second hand store and I think a better deal could be found at the Salvation Army. However given this store is in South Beach I imagine they even have thier rent to pay.
For all you girls out ther I’m SURE you’ll find some HELLA DEALs in the place… meanwhile, on days I have some time to kill, I’ll keep trying.

I decline to give certain specifics because I’m protective of my selection, but I have found some of my favorite items of clothing here.
The book section and CDs are great. Sometimes I don’t find any ladies’ items to rock, and other times I leave with bags of stuff like shoes. belts, brooches, purses/​bags and exercise videos. The items seem like they are either all quality brands or all Target brands depending on when you visit — never really a hardcore mix. You see a lot of Mossimo and Mizrahi, which I refuse to buy, new or used, unless part of some dollar sale. Their purse selection really is impressive.
Free condoms! Painfully loud music (usually oldies)!
Parking can sometimes be a pain, but other times there’s lot space right up front. You cannot park in front of any of the other businesses in the same plaza, they’ll run you out with their shaking fists (ahem, food mart guy).
This is my favorite thrift store on the east coast! The staff is fun and friendly. A customer or employee is almost always singing along with the radio.

One of the most fair priced thrift stores in South Beach. Plus they have a very large selection of men’s clothing, which takes up the entire second level.

Like any thrift store, finding a diamond in the rough is hit or miss. I’ve found theory, Todd Oldham, Banana Republic, and more. It’s great for accessories — I’ve picked up lots of costume jewelry, funky sunglasses and vintage clutches. Also lots of dishes and random housewares. Everyone is very friendly.
The store benefits Care Resource, an HIV/​AIDS service organization, not just another church, which I appreciate. Plus, donating my old stuff gives me an excuse to buy new stuff (or new used stuff). Happy hunting!
