AMVETS Thrift Store — Attraction in Town of West Seneca

I've been hitting this gold mine for 20 years now and have found some outrageous, high quality, in excellent condition items here. Clothes are well displayed and if you search you can unearth some well maintained, high end pieces. I've got two dozen+ pairs of hard to find, expensive designer jeans found only in boutiques and over 60 new Under Armour athletic wear pieces... Shirts, pants and shorts as well as four racks of quality designer pants and dress shirts. As for my lifelong gold mine find? I discovered a 1934 Art Deco Dining table in immaculate condition priced at .. $40. that was recently appraised for over $20k!! It is made of six species of rare wood with the original finish intact. My living room is full of unique antique furniture that I have refinished myself never paying more than $40 for a single piece and all from AmVets. One such antique Oak dining buffet from 1860 was just $10. and it was in immaculate condition with the original finish as well!!! Between this location and the one in Elmwood, I've racked up some spectacular deals for literally pennies on the dollar. Living beautifully and looking sharp all of the time for about one tenth of their...

This is my favorite chain of thrift store - and I'm shocked there's only a few here, a couple in Tennessee, and one in Long Island! I love supporting the Veterans and they offer a round-up to donate extra. So if your bill is 11.45, you can round up to 12 even and donate the rest of the change - such a great idea!

Like all thrift shops you have to sift through to find the gems, and sometimes I'll find nothing and other times I'll find a ton. This place is great - I have gotten furniture, coats, tons of housewares, clothes, you name it.

Just this past weekend I found 4 baby outfits, a pair of sequins covered Sperry Top Sliders, like new pajamas, some maternity clothesline, and they had a HUGE selection of plus sized clothes for my friend - who found a bunch of stuff (usually that section is paltry - not here).

I can't recommend this chain enough - this is my local /closest one and I always donate to them. Other locations are larger but they all have marvelous finds.

Oh, and every Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and a bunch of other holidays - the whole store...

It often makes me mad that thrift store prices are so high. After all, they're getting the items donated. Sure, I understand business; the cost of employees, rent for the building, electricity, etc., but still peeves me to pay high prices for thrift store items. This particular AMVETS isn't too bad with their prices, and they also have a point program in which you can earn points and get $ off of future purchases. If you make a purchase, you will also get a $4 coupon off your next visit if you spend $15 (which is easy to do.) Watch the tag color specials and any other sales (for instance, as I type this review, they're having a $1 on a children's clothes sale. Can't beat that!) And Veterans, you will always get a 25% off discount. There is also a discount for students on a certain day of the week (Tuesday?) with student ID card. Staff is super nice and the place is...
