If You Live In Boston, You Must Visit This Unbelievable Thrift Store At Least Once

Do you get a thrill from finding something forgotten or unloved then giving it a second lease on life? If so, you’re probably the kind of person who hangs out at flea markets, vintage shops, and thrift stores. These are some of my favorite haunts because they’re good for both my wallet and the environment, not to mention that when you shop for gently used items, your purchases often have more personality. Whether you’re new to thrifting or a regular bargain hunter, there’s one unbelievable Boston store you’ll want to visit.

Since opening in 1996, Boomerangs has become a treasure trove for anyone searching for quality items at bargain prices.

There are actually four Boomerangs locations in Massachusetts.

716 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130

1870 Centre Street, West Roxbury, MA 02132

563 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139

1407 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02118

Let the funky window displays lure you inside...

As you browse through racks of clothing, it becomes clear that the quality of the pieces surpasses those at most thrift stores.

Aside from new, vintage, and second-hand clothing, Boomerangs is also strong on home goods...

...from solid yet stylish furniture…

…to practical housewares like dishes.

You’ll also find plenty of decorative items to add a little flair to your home.

The books section is surprisingly well stocked.

And, if you favor all things retro, you'll be in heaven!

Boomerang stores are inviting, providing a fun shopping experience.

You never know what you’ll unearth!

To score the ultimate deal, be sure to check the store’s calendar of promotions before you go.

Unlike regular retail stores that put inventory on sale at the end of the season (when you don’t need it), Boomerangs helpfully coordinates their promos to coincide with the cooling weather or upcoming holidays.

The proceeds from these stores benefit the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.
