Cincinnatian here and oh my god, funnily enough when I started watching you a few months ago I was thinking about places around here you’d find interesting things from I immediately thought of New2You. Ha! Excellent choice on that St Vincent de Paul also. It’s easily one of the best in the area. That aisle you found the watermelon trivets at…you can just sense that’s there’s good stuff buried in there but it’s so overwhelming! Next time check out Flamingo Haven and Riverside antique mall. Also, if you’ve never been to Traders World near Mason I highly suggest in a few weeks when it starts to warm up more. It’s a gold mine of antiques and vintage stuff at the outdoor booths. It was so interesting to watch what you found at places I go to frequently haha! but super fun video :)

Can we talk about the audacity for an average 80’s sweater to be (originally) priced at 48 in a random dusty midwestern ghost sorority house 😭💀 that’s a stretch even for here in Brooklyn. This is the kind of thing that gets me down about the surge in popularity of thrifting, people especially larger organizations think they have the right to charge whatever because they see the virality when they’re probably not even cleaning/mending let alone adding retail value to garments. It gives all of us that are subsistence collectors/sellers who survive off this and actually care (by upping the *value* not just the price) a bad name 🥲

Next time you come, go to the St Vinny’s on the west side of those are the 2 best locations with the best selection. St Vincent does amazing work around the city as well.

The thrift store at Terrell State Hospital is in an old building and has a bunch of rooms like the thrift store. It looks like that store! It's only open one day a month and the public loves it. I know at least one thrift store owner who buys all the jeans she can get her hands on. She doubles the price (minimum!) And puts them in her store to resell. She is a former employee, and on principle I don't shop in her store. That sounds like a good business practice, but the rest of the people who shop in the TSH store are there because it is what they can afford. It makes me sad that she does that.

I Just moved to Cincinnati, about to move into a new place, and needed a thrifting place to start. 😂 Thank you.

New 2 You is definitely one of the best! They have the sweetest staff too. I work next door and pop over a few times a month for the gems haha

@Anne-yh6yn I usually go to the one by my stepson's house, I just know it's the Bridgetown area, it's huge and I do well there but always like knowing about the little hole in the walls

Hi, I don’t know where in Ohio you are from, but I’m in Dayton and I love going to Cincinnati thrift stores. You need to go to more shops there. Many are very eclectic and fun to browse. I tend to find more bargain prices on the northwest part of Cincinnati but would love to hear from other people and their suggestions.
