I've only been here once but it's one of the better thrift stores in the Boston area. First of all, it's massive and they have all of the "departments" pretty well stocked. There's plenty of room to browse. I didn't have a lot of time during my…More »

As with most urban areas, you gotta go out to the middle class burbs to score unique finds on the cheap. I was in the area and figured I'd try my luck as Boston metro thrifting is a mostly futile experience.

I got a really great lamp (lamp, I loves…More »

I feel more at peace shopping at Boomerangs than I do religiously affiliated thrift stores, knowing that I fully support where their profits go. (the AIDS Action Committee!)

If you're in the market for thrift furniture - come here! They have a good amount in the main building plus an entire warehouse of items in the back. I checked it out last weekend and most of the stuff that was in really good shape or interesting…More »

As far as Goodwills and thrift stores in general go, this one is alright. They do have a lot of women's clothes, there is also a decent selection of men's but it's not quite as extensive. The vinyl is well stocked and easy to browse - a major plus…More »
