Below are some of the UThrift team’s favorite thrift stores to shop in Miami! In making this list, we considered ethical missions, good prices, and the thrill of sticking your hand in a bin and seeing what you can find! We gave each store an estimated price sign from $ (most affordable), $$ (average prices), to $$$ (highest prices). These prices are all relative to each other and may change in the future!
We’d love to hear what your favorite stores are, and if you have been to any of these. Let us know what items you scored in the comments!
