Unlike new items, gently used goods come already endowed with character, age, and a full repertoire of hilarious impressions. Provide a home for a heart warmer with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of gently used and new clothing, home décor items, and collectibles at Value Village Thrift Department Store, valid at four locations in Florissant, Shrewsbury, St. Louis, and Fenton.

Awarded Best Thrift Store in 2010 by the Riverfront Times, Value Village fills homes and closets with a vast and eclectic selection of gently used and new clothing, home décor items, and more. Just like the moods and self-esteem of the sun, inventory varies widely and changes constantly, and the showroom floor is littered with household items (starting $0.80) and furniture (starting at $1) of all sizes and shapes. Treasure-seeking patrons may discover unique pieces such as a Stan Musial picture, a pink guitar, and other items perfect for displaying on a mantle or filling empty guest bedrooms from floor to ceiling.

An expansive clothing selection (starting at $0.99) includes anything from pintsize sportswear to chic women's wear (average price for a women's garment is $2.99). Begging to be loved, vintage items, such as an old washing machine, whisper "pick me" as shoppers pass by and "that's the spot" as shoppers scratch them behind the ears, allowing pursuers to head home with interesting two-person bicycles and ceramic knickknacks.
