Whether we are bored on a random Saturday or looking for something specific for a project, my friends and I find ourselves out shopping thrift stores at least once a week for the best deals around. Iā€™ve scored art for my apartment, books for my future classroom, and other unique pieces that have no purpose but to make us laugh. Weā€™ve been to several different thrift stores in and around Scranton. To be fair on the reviews, I only ranked the stores I have personally visited more than one time. I analyzed each location on the prices, quality of items, employees, and overall atmosphere.
