If you love hunting for hidden gems, stretching your budget, or just enjoy the thrill of a good deal, you know there’s nothing quite like a great thrift store. Recently on Facebook, we asked our readers to share their favorite thrift stores across Minnesota – and wow, you delivered!
From small-town shops run by volunteers to city favorites with ever-changing inventory, we heard about amazing secondhand spots all over the state. We’ve gathered your responses and organized them alphabetically by city to make it easy to find local treasures – or plan your next thrifty road trip.
Some of you also shared why you consider these to be the best thrift stores and what makes them special, and we’ve included those quotes where we could. If your favorite isn’t on the list yet, leave us a comment or message – we’d love to keep this growing!
ALSO – You can join our new Minnesota Thrifting Facebook Group! It’s all about thrift store shopping in Minnesota! Come ask questions, share about your favorite stores or favorite finds, and get inspired!
And just in case you haven’t seen it, our Minnesota City Wide Garage Sales List is another option for some great finds when they’re in season.
