Consignment stores?

Hey NOVA people, Does anyone have any good suggestions of good consignment stores, or Goodwill stores to go buy some things? I don't want to go to 'real' stores yet, so consignment or secondhand will work. Any hints!! donna

Hey, Donna....Wish you lived near me....I know of everyone in a 100 mile radius...hehe....I love thrift shops and Goodwill stores.. They are a hobby of mine. Good idea too. That is the way I am going to do my shopping for the next year or so. Consignment shops are more expensive. Love ya girl...Good luck. Hugs, Betsy

Hi Miss Betsy, skinny lady to be!! I wish I lived near you but not just for thrift shop location, but I would love to hang with you!! And yes, be on the lookout for good buys for yourself as you scrounge through the stores. Thanks Betsy, love donna

Donna- I think there is a Goodwill or Salvation Army at the Herndon Clocktower shopping center. I *know* there is a big Salvation Army in Manassas off of the main road (234?). Hope that helps, Christina S

Hi Christina, how the heck are you?? I haven't seen much from you lately. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the info - I think I'll check them out! donna

Donna, I buy quite a bit at Kohls. They have some awesome prices when they have sales. Think I got a few tops off their clearance rack for under $5 each. Right after the holidays should be a great time to stop in. The one by Fair Lakes is just next to Dick's Sporting Goods so it isn't as crowded as going to a busy strip mall. Hugs, Kathy

Kathy - if I can get stuff at Kohls for $5 bucks -- I'm there!! I really just need the tops too, cause Dianna gave me enough jeans to get me through a couple of sizes. By the way, I'm hoping that the nice long pretty dress that I got from you at the last support meeting is going to 'fit' me for the Richmond thingy. It's a bit snug now, but maybe with the right 'undergarments' it will work!! We'll see. I really like it. Thanks again, donna

Hi Donna I go to the Clock Tower thrift shop on Annandale Rd in Falls Church. I think they have alot of variety, and the prices are not bad. I have gone there several times throughout my journey. If you wanna go shopping along with lunch next week, lemme know! Love you, Dianna

Hi Dianna, that one sounds close, I may check it out. Thanks for the information. I'm not sure I can do shopping along with lunch, but I am hoping that we can somehow squeeze lunch in. We'll see - I really would like to, but know you are busier than I am!! love donna

Hi Donna. Yes Manassas does have quite a few thrift/consignment stores. We do have a Salvation Army store on 234 (the only time I was in there I was not impressed) and a Good Will store also on 234 (pretty big, not too bad). A lot of the others are consignment/thrift and vary in price and style but you could always get a listing from yellow pages and check them out. Courtney
