If you want to give used clothes, books and decor a new life, look no further than thrifting in the Rocket City.

Shopping at secondhand thrift stores helps reduce waste from the environment, cuts down on fast fashion, and most importantly supports local businesses. Don’t know where to start?

Check out the Hville Blast teams’ 5 favorite thrift stores around the Huntsville area.

Our top choices

1. The Saving Way

Our first pick comes from Leslie, who loves thrifting at The Saving Way. This store offers anything and everything for a very reasonable price. Hear what Leslie has to say:

“One of my favorite things that, to me, separates them from every other thrift is that all their clothes are separated by size and color, so it is super easy to look for specific items that I need to add to my wardrobe.”
Leslie Gonzalez, Hville Blast

Hours: Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM, Saturday 9AM-5PM

2. A New Leash on Life

Our next recommendation comes from Michael and Peyton. A New Leash on Life adoption and thrift boutique has grown significantly, as they now have three stores in the Huntsville area. The store has an amazing selection of books, which is my first place to search in any thrift store.

3. Goodwill

Goodwill Store and Donation Center — One of my favorite places to thrift is Goodwill. (Ryleigh Scott / Hville Blast)

Goodwill is my personal recommendation, along with Brenna and Savannah’s. Nearly any town has a Goodwill and, luckily enough, we have one too. I always find something at Goodwill, whether it’s at my hometown or the one in Madison.

“They have a huge selection of books and craft supplies. I love going there to stock up on National Geographics, magazines and frames.”
