Thirft Town is stocked to the brim with random stuff. Once in awhile, you can score on great vintage garb, but for Halloween its a treasure trove of props and colorful costume gear. Beware: you might have to dig before you hit gold, but don’t be discouraged. Hard work at Thrift Town will pay off when you wow others with your inspiring (not to mention, economical) ensemble.

This is the queen bee of all San Francisco thrift stores. This is the mecca, the holy grail. This was probably what the crusades was fought over. It’s that amazing. At least 50% of my wardrobe at any given time is from Thrift Town, and I say that with pride. Their prices are astronomically awesome – you will probably not find a single article of clothing here over $10. My friend bought a $5 authentic 80s-era Member’s Only jacket here. I have an entire rack of unitards and leotards in my closet from my happy sojourns to Thrift Town. If I ever have $3 in my pocket and I have no idea what to do with it, I generally just come to Thrift Town and buy an entirely new wardrobe. And did I mention this place is HUGE?? They have an upstairs. And it’s in a warehouse. And the upstairs is all furniture and random knick-knacks. You can find at least 10 different toasters that may or may not work at this place, any day of the week. And random phones, microwaves, dishracks, basically any object in the world. If I could give something 50 stars out of 5 stars, Thrift Town would be it. Trust.
Looking for some shoulder pads and tapered white mom pants? You can probably talk the cashier into selling it to you for 67 cents. Worked for me!
