Thrift shopping is one of my favorite hobbies. I love finding unique items at a great price. It’s also a budget-friendly way to clothes shop for your kids. I have found some pretty awesome second-hand stuff at Duke City thrift stores from designer clothing to vintage furniture and even brand new baby clothes! The next time you need to go shopping, consider hitting up one of these local thrift stores.

I found two button-up shirts that I love. But the best thing is a quiet hairdryer. I still have it and use the hairdryer.
Also for my 1 y.o. son, I found for him a light weight Old Navy jacket. It’s so useful for NM weather. This was at New Heights Thrift Store.
Awesome! I always drive by New Heights, and have been meaning to check it out. Maybe I will do that this weekend.
New Heights Thrift Store is now closed. I drove by on April 20, 2022.
Thank you for the update!
