Where To Find Birmingham's Best Thrift Stores

BIRMINGHAM, AL - Garage sales have always been popular among bargain hunters, with the ability to find great deals on hidden gems of merchandise. However, one would need to scour hundreds of neighborhoods to find the right garage sale, and those are typically only held on weekends. That is why thrift stores - a freestanding garage sale open all week - are so popular for shoppers.
