SO MANY BARGAINS - SO LITTLE TIME, January 29, 2000
This review is from: The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
The reason this book is getting "FIVE STARS" from everyone is because it takes a DIFFERENT approach. It is specific. She names national thrift store "chains," ie the Discover Shops, Goodwill etc. and lists other outlets all over the U.S. and in other countries. Covering this much geography, is a FIRST that I have ever found. For those of us that travel, this is a Godsend. She even has a section on "Bargains on the Internet." There is a section on "resources" (other books, and addresses to write for info.etc.)Then, there's a section for the "trade" with bargains on display pieces etc. For those of us that have collections, these display pieces are a "must" and they're expensive. This is the first resource I've seen to get these at bargain prices.This book is a GREAT source of information for the bargain shopper.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
I came across this book while I was recently browsing in a book store and then looked in the computer. This book provides wonderful information for smart shoppers worldwide. I cannot begin to express my joy in finding such a great book. I have visited a number of the stores in different places. Not only did I find many great "buys" but each store was so interesting. I would like to thank the author for the time and effort put forth in this book. Great idea!

shopping made easy!, February 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
As a person who loves to shop and who loves bargains, I find this book to be my "bible". I am constantly searching for new places to shop for all items, clothes, furniture, sporting equipment, etc. This book contains a "treasure" of material, interesting information and is just "fun" to use. I hope the author continues to produce further editions. I look forward to seeing them.

interesting information about a "friendly" way to shop, October 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
I have shopping in consignment stores for a number of years but this is the first time I have information on stores all over the U.S. and even in other parts of the world. This book is enabling me to buy the things I need at a tremendous savings. I had to buy some baby furniture and through this book I found wonderful items and saved, saved, saved! I will always shop this way using the great information in this book. Thank you Ms. Schneider for your great book!

A great book, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book tremendously. Shopping in consignment and thrift stores is a great way to save money. The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide enabled me to find great buys in designer clothing (which I ordinarily cannot afford). I hope to be able to visit a great many stores now that I have this wonderful book which is a great source of information. I plan to use it in my travels also. Thanks to the author!!
