After asking the Twitter crowd if there were any honest-to-goodness thrift stores in the District that I didn't know about, I was tipped off about the store that will forthwith be referred to as MoCo Thrift. Yeah, it's in Bethesda, but it's only a few blocks from the Metro. So, it counts. At least, to me. It counts.
The shop was bustling when I stopped in on a Thursday morning, although half of those in attendance were volunteers from the many county agencies that staff the shop. The crowd was friendly, and I could ask those around me—volunteer or shopper—what they thought of a piece.
Be prepared if you shop here, as they don't take plastic. But you really should shop here. They have blazers for $8. Suits for $12. Nice Steve Madden shoes for $5.
These are blue, I promise. Steve Maddens! |
The best deals appear on Sundays, as the store is open on the second and fourth Sunday of each month. And on those days, everything is half-off. If you're having a hard time with the math (we know how I am with numbers), I could have gotten two shirts, a dress, and a blazer for $13.50. THIRTEEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS. HECK YES.
So take a look around if you visit this shop on a Sunday afternoon. You may see me swimming through the racks, asking all the women which pieces I should get. (Answer: all of them.)

Any idea if they take checks? Might have to go on the second Sunday of July. I keep forgetting that I mean to go to there.
They do indeed take checks!
