Thrift Store shopping in North County?

One of my all time favorite pastimes has always been thrift store shopping. Whether you are short on cash, on a budget, or just love the thrill of a good find. Thrift store shopping will almost never leave you empty handed or disappointed. Some of the best thrift stores are in Escondido. They are Amvets and the Escondido Humane Society Thrift Store.

They have everything you need from clothes, toys, kitchenwares, arts and crafts, pet supplies, antiques, odds and ends, c.d.'s, old records, new books, and antique and collectible books.

Thanks for the hints... I love thrifting! Maybe I'll post some secrets for down south!

The Escondido Humane Society Thrift Store has recently moved to 629 W. Grand Ave in Escondido. I think it's even better now, though I'm a little biased - I volunteer there!

I just called the Escondido Humane Society; they moved again and are no longer at the W. Grand location. Their permanent address is 1131 E. Washington, Suite E in Escondido. It is 4 doors down from Marty's Donuts. Phone (760) 233-1569. Their website is will be changed soon to show the new address since the original address is still showing up on it.

Yahoo also shows a St. Vincent DePaul thrift store in Escondido but I have not been to it yet so I don't know how good it is. Location listed is 1005 S. Escondido Blvd in Escondido.
