Where To Find Bargains At Billings Thrift Stores

Between escalating power bills, water bills, grocery bills, inflation, and the ridiculous prices at the gas pump, money is tight. Many Montanans are feeling the pinch and are finding ways to make our paychecks stretch a little further.

Garage sales are great, of course, but that season is rapidly winding down as fall descends upon the Treasure State.

Thrift stores are a fantastic option, and Billings is blessed with a ton of great places to find bargains, treasures, and necessities, typically for a fraction of normal retail price.

Here are 15 Billings thrift stores to check out.

Buried Treasures - 300 Moore Lane

A relative newcomer to the Billings thrifting scene, Buried Treasures is a fun place to shop. They describe their store as "a community-focused shop where every visit feels like a treasure hunt. We offer affordable secondhand clothing, home goods, and unique finds—giving back whenever and wherever we can."

Gratitude in Action - 4151 1st Ave South

Gratitude in Action recently moved to a huge new facility in the old Coca-Cola building on 1st Ave South. The G.I.A. thrift store is just one service they provide. The non-profit's main focus is helping those in substance abuse recovery.

Every purchase, donation, and volunteer hour at the GIA Thrift Store directly supports recovery.

Family Service - 3927 1st Ave South

Just up the street from Gratitude in Action, Family Service does so much for our community. Proceeds from their thrift store help fulfil their mission to prevent hunger, homelessness, and poverty in Yellowstone County.
