One of the things my wife and I like to do is go to thrift shops and secondhand stores. My wife is really good at repurposing furniture from these types of places.

To be honest, I’ve bought a lot of clothes from thrift stores over the last few years. Why pay full price for something when you can find something just as good for sometimes over half off the original price.

As I was looking through Facebook this weekend and I came across a post from a woman who said she and her daughter were going to do a Thrift Store Road Trip around Minnesota, but they weren’t sure which direction they were going to go. They were asking members of the Facebook group for suggestions for their favorite places.

 Again, these are just some of the thrift stores I saw mentioned, and I tried to list only thrift, secondhand or consignment stores because I feel a lot of times, they are different from Vintage stores whose prices can be higher than what is found at a thrift type store.

Some of these stores are only open a few days a week, I tried to provide as many links to the stores as I could find so you can plan your trip with as much information from one place as possible.
