I forgot to mention,m although most probabl already know it, there are great things usually besides clothes as well. Toys (always check over very carefully to make sure they are in good condition and safe), dishes, appliances, books....the list can get pretty extensive. We've also utilized the thrift store for a lot of my son's halloween costumes and wardrobes for plays, etc. You don't even have to find the exact item, sometimes it is just the material you need and it's so much cheaper than the fabric store!
