Thrift Stores in Louth, Lincolnshire

“There are lots of charity shops in Louth, but I wanted to mention this one specially because it's such a very good cause. The St Andrew's Hospice in Grimsby does an absolutely fantastic job and needs all the support local people can give it. This shop is a good size for a charity shop with lots of window space for displays. Prices are good (it's cheap, even for a charity shop) and there is a good range of books, toys and clothing. The shop run raffles at Christmas and last year were handing out free little presents to children, whether or not you spent any money - a really nice touch.”

“4.8 stars? Definitely not! 5 stars for this charming charity shop. They've certainly got it right their prices are cheap. Some other charity shops put ridiculously high prices on their items, then when it doesn't sell after a set amount of time they send it off to the rag man or the recyclers, Who pay less than a pound sterling for a kilo weight. Of course with such a abundance of donations often as not it is quicker and easier for certain charity shops to do this. Sue Ryder in Louth set a fine example of what a charity shop should be. They get their stock for nowt sell it off for a decent price and by doing this they are getting more donations out of the donation bags and onto the shelves, instead of just sitting there because they have too much of the stuff and the shop floor hasn't shift anything because it is too darn expensive(for a charity shop)! Anyway go there and have a look for yourselves and if you can't find anything then you are always welcome by the lovely staff to come back and visit again.”

“Please update your the Louth shop opening hours on Google. I checked them out yesterday and it says open 10a.m-4pm on a Sunday. So, I drove half and hour to Louth to donate some clothes and when I got there it was closed!! Will return another day, but it has wasted half a day for me.”
