It conserves manufacturing resources and gives new life to items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. We've rounded up a list of five great Twin Cities thrift stores for you to explore.
1. Succotash
781 Raymond Avenue

Popular shows like Mad Men have rekindled an interest in mid-century modern retro style. Succotash features 100 percent recycled items from the 1950s through the 1970s. Merchandise ranges from furniture and home decor to records and toys to funky collector's items like an iconic Farrah Fawcett t-shirt.

Merchandise is sold on consignment, so you can fund your purchases by selling some of your own items to a new home.
5. Steeple People Thrift Store

In addition to clothing, furniture and housewares, this shop features a number of specialty items like seasonal accessories, books, CDs and DVDs, and jewelry.
