Three Hidden Gems: A Thrifty Guide to Southeastern CT & RI

Southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island boast a hidden gem for thrifting enthusiasts. Local resident and thrifting aficionado, Vivian, shares her top three favorite thrift stores, each offering unique charm and affordability. Pennywise in Mystic, CT, impresses with its two floors of diverse brands and an extensive accessory section. "They have a lot of different brands," Vivian explains, highlighting the Free People rack and men's section. SerendipThrifty in Groton, CT, though smaller, offers a curated selection of vintage pieces. Vivian's final recommendation is The Blue Mitten Thrift Shop in Westerly, RI, a store that supports the Westerly Chorus.
