Bibles For Missions Thrift Center

Since I have the good fortune to live about two blocks from this shop, I’m able to stop in quite frequently. It really is a gem as another reviewer said. My wife and I have found some amazing bargains, to wit: a bread machine in the original box with the original plastic wrapping for $ 16.95; a wood serving cart for $ 5; a Braun hand blender with veggie chopper attachment for $ 9.95; and numerous sweaters and coats for an average of about four bucks! They often have very good furniture options. One time I as in and saw a 42″ round oak table ca. 1925 with two leaves for $ 99.95!!! If we had had room, we would have bought it right there and then, but we couldn’t. They were also selling six oak pressback chairs with beautifully carved backs for $ 10 each. These were all in immaculate condition, including the table. In a regular antique store, you would have paid an easy $ 700 for the table and probably $ 100 for each chair. The selection varies, of course, but the prices are always very, very low and most of the merchandise is in very, very good condition. It is, I think, the best thrift store I’ve ever been in anywhere. Highly, highly recommended!

This store had ever changing inventory and is very reasonably priced, which is more than I can say about other thrift store nearby.
The staff is very friendly and they will even pick up large donations (like furniture, not bags of clothes) from your house if you make an appointment. How awesome?!?
You’ll be sure to find a few treasures here.

I have recently moved to Minneapolis, and this Bibles for Missions Thrift Store in Crystal, MN is a hidden gem!
Pros:
*Huge parking lot, with available spots.
*Run only by volunteers, no paid folks
*Low low prices from toys to furniture! (a beautiful armoire for $ 14.99, many puzzles from $ 0.79-$ 1.49)
*Prices are GREAT! I’m cheap, so I really mean GREAT Prices!
* Very organized!
*Kind volunteers, happy to help you out
* They accept donations and have lots of different days/​time for dropoff

Possible Cons:
Hours: M-​F: 10am-​5pm, Thursday nights til 8pm, Sat: 10am-​3pm, Sun-​CLOSED
Not a large amount of clothing
If you aren’t religious, the ‘talk’ amongst the volunteers/​music playing overhead might be a little much.
We’ve been here several times and got an AMAZING framed picture – for $ 0.39. That’s not a typo! We’ve picked up brand new, sealed puzzle for $ 0.79! We picked up a brand new colorful throw (for our couch). $ 4.99– That’s the most I’ve paid for anything there.
I’d highly recommend everyone to come here, as I love to share a great THrift Store!

People watching enough is great. A wide array of people that shop.
I’ve got to say, tons of furniture. Knick knacks are OK, it just really depends on the day. Overall though, its a great place.

At least 11 out of my dad’s 12 blenders have come from this thrift store.
It’s a place that just seems to encourage you to buy another one of XYZ. And maybe another. But this one is so nice, maybe I’ll get another one.
You won’t find much in the way of clothing or trend items here – but you will find some funky retro pieces (that I SWEAR will look good in your living room in another 10 years as everyone oohs and ahhs and wonders where you picked up that genuine gold-​trimmed 1970’s floral-​and-​paisley couch).
This is definitely one of the least predictable thrifting spots. One day, you’re buying a solid oak armoire (in our bedroom thankyouverymuch) and the next day it’s all blenders all the time.
But it’s worth a look.
Tip: Beware the very limited hours. Closed Sundays.

This place is a great little thrift store… but shhhh… don’t tell anyone about it… I want to keep it a secret little hidden gem just for myself. ;)
They have a great selection of furniture and other misc household wares & I was amazed at how reasonable everything was priced! I did definitely get a «grandma’s house» vibe from their merchandise, but I’m not sayin’ that’s a bad thing… I’m just sayin’…
I have only been here once & it was right at the cusp of closing time (their hours are not ideal — but heck — it’s staffed by volunteers — so I guess I shouldn’t complain).
I didn’t have as much time to shop as I would have liked, but we still managed to leave with a few new treasures!

One of my favorite thrift stores to get furniture and other «big ticket items». The prices are ideal and they are money goes to a good cause. I would not travel here if you wanted the latest «in» item, but I would go here if you just moved into an apartment or house and need some cheap basic items.
I would describe the items as more old fashion and it is items you could find at Grandmas. I keep going back and sometimes I do find some pretty sweet things!

It’s not a destination spot, but if you happen to be in the neighborhood it’s always worth checking out.
This isn’t either one of those hip little retro places that only carry stuff that is certified cool or one of those giant places with a warehouse feel. It’s a medium sized quiet place staffed by silver-​haired church volunteers.
But oh the treasures those church ladies serve up! I never know exactly what I’ll find here and I like it that way. Will it be some books? A 70’s napkin holder so out it’s in? A refrigerator that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter? Come on admit it, you need that Nordic Track.
