Editor's Review
Bargain Garden in Appleton, WI, is a delightful treasure trove of thrift finds and community spirit. This family-owned shop has been serving locals since 1992, and it’s more than just a place to shop; it supports local charities and offers a small yet charming selection of thrift items. Reviewers rave about the friendly staff and the heartwarming mission behind the store. Elizabeth Martzahl perfectly captures the essence of this place, stating, "Bargain Garden will always be one of my favorite thrift stores. It's small in the best ways...and the money they make goes to a good cause."
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. A few customers have raised concerns about pricing, especially for certain items that seem a bit higher than expected for a secondhand shop. Cindy B. expressed her disappointment about a tray and glass bottles she donated, which were being sold at what she considered inflated prices. Despite this, many shoppers appreciate the overall value and selection. Allyce Zimmer highlights a positive experience, saying, "Wonderful store. Profits go to Fox Valley Lutheran. Great prices. Fun sales." If you’re looking for a thrift shop that combines quality items with support for a good cause, Bargain Garden is definitely worth a visit!
