COLUMBIA — Finding great deals at vintage and consignment shops isn’t as tricky as it might seem. Vintage and consignment stores are abundant in Columbia, but people might think it’s time-consuming to shop them.
I wanted to give them a shot. I discovered I was able to find a great outfit, including boots, for less than $25.
Here’s what I found:
Best jewelry selection: Blackberry Exchange, 16 S. Ninth St.
Best place to find an authentic vintage piece: Absolute Vintage, 923 E. Broadway
Best prices: New Beginning Consignment Clothing, 7 S. Tenth St,
Best organization: Upscale Resale, 1729 W. Broadway
