Ok, so it's been a lil' while. I've been a bit of a slacker I'd say ;)
Well, I DID decide once a week is too much for me, but I can do one every 2 weeks or so. So, I figure it equaled out and there we have it.
Well, this current thrift store, it's a much traveled and well loved one by me. I've been here a few times, and every time I pull into the parking lot, it's like "Ah, time for some fun!!"

PROS:
This store is close by, it's just so convenient and familiar. I'm wondering if this post might be biased because of those 2 things, but I think if it was a bad store then I wouldn't be shopping there in the first place.
When you enter the store you go thru the gate and right away there are 2 rows back to back of the "nicer" clothes. This is a great intro to the store and you can spend some time here since the rows are so long. I often will find great brands here like you would expect for the higher end items to be. Some have tags on them and most are in great condition. What's great is that these rows are jam packed with clothing everytime I am there. Again, as with many of the thrift stores this one has name brand clothes that I am very happy to pick up :)
The clothes and shoes department for women is, of course, the largest section which makes me very happy :) Along the outside wall are tons of women's shirts and then for nearly 3-4 additional aisles on both sides. The shoes are displayed prominently in the aisles above the clothing and there's a wide variety of shoes to choose from.
The men's and children's department is also very well stocked. The children's clothing is cute and fashionable. The men's clothes are pretty comparable to any other thrift store in quantity and quality.
The display case is interesting in this store since there are the cheaper items, and a smaller glass case containing more pricey items with crystals and nicer pieces.
The knick knacks and appliance section runs the full length of the back wall and it's got all kinds of items to pick and browse thru. I've found a full set of plates taped together and the condition is decent for most items there.

CONS:
Well, for starters this one's not as big as some of the other thrift stores out there so there's not as much space to stuff items in and the aisles can be really, really crowded-boo. Adding to this the fact that most people will throw things on the ground strewn everywhere and this can look like a pretty dirty, mangy store (but of course I can see past that, haha). Also, the prices on the items in the display case or behind it can be pricey in part because it's some name brand items, (I found Cole Haan shoes just a tad too big, but at $18 I couldn't justify the purchase).
Also, the books section, meh. It's not the biggest. Not exactly a "bad" section, but I wouldn't go looking in this section for the variety it possesses.
Furniture is another thing that there's not alot of in this store. The section it is in is cluttered and I don't really care to go picking thru it because most of the time someone is sitting on the chairs and it's not big enough to really care much about.
Lastly, the parking lot, small and therefore you have to be there at the right time to get a spot!
