Looking for thrift store recommendations...mens clothing

Hello everyone,

I've been purchasing business clothing from a great thrift store I found in Norristown (here is the web address for those interested:  http://www.impactthrift.org/storelocations.html).  I go there once every few weeks to check out the Men's business shirt & pant sections.  It's a great place however I'm beginning to actually recognize the pieces (i.e. oh look that nice dark blue shirt has not sold yet..if only it didn't have that corporate logo on it..) so I think I need some more variety.

Can any of you please recommend some of your favorite Thrift stores in the Philadelphia or New Jersey area?  Address and/or website would be great.  I don't mind driving a bit (30-45min) if it's 'worth the trip'. 

Thanks,
-GD_007

Greg,
Franklin Mills has a store called 2nd Avenue and they have Men's, Women's and Kid's clothes and some of them still have tags on them! I think it's worth the trip or at least a look. It's next to the Big Lots store.

Hi there -
This isn't a thrift store, but Kohl's really has great clearance racks.  I've been shopping there for years for myself and have recently been scanning the racks for my boyfriend.  I have often picked up items for a few dollars each.  Especially when they are having a store wide % off of everything.  20% off of already clearances items is a good deal for new items. 
Just a thought....
Lisa

Greg-

If you ever feel like making the trip to the Lehigh Valley, I can take you on the grand thrift tour.

There's a great shop 5 minutes from the house. It has good stuff, pretty darn cheap.

Norm--where in the LV do you go? I have been to the Good Will on Tilghman and the Salvation Army on Mickley in Whitehall.  Any other places?

There is an impact in Lansdale as well.  The second ave. is located up here in mongomery commons I believe, there is also a thrift store in Souderton-Hatfield area, one store has clothes and the other two store have furniture, and misc goods in the other.  There is a small Salvation Army store on broad street in Lansdale, and a really large on 309 in Quakertown.  A bit far to travel, but all these stores are with 10 minutes area of each other and the one on 309 is about 10 more minutes out,but is large and might be worth the drive.
Good luck Ena
