Find Great Steals and Support a Great Cause...The Guild Shop

The Guild Shop, located at 2009 Dunlavy Street, is a thrift shop in Montrose that was founded in 1962 by the Sewing Group of the Church of St. John the Divine and is run primarily by volunteers.  Over the years, The Guild Shop has donated millions of dollars back to the community, including its primary beneficiary St. James House and other organizations such as the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity.

The system The Guild Shop has employed is absolutely unique. I have never seen anything like it.  Each item has a price.  That price is good through a certain date, which is printed on the tag.  Then after that date, if the item has not sold, the price will fall to another price.  This cycle repeats two to three times for each item as long as the item remains in the shop. After the final date on the tag, if the item remains in the shop, it will go to the last chance room (not certain if this applies for the clothes as most the items I am interested in clothes wise go quickly) where it is 50% off of the last price, or a dollar, whichever is higher.

The Guild Shop has clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, housewares, furniture, and a lot of other things as well.  You never know what you might find here.

The last time I shopped in The Guild Shop, I was able to find this Houndstooth Emanuel Ungaro suit and a black Calvin Klein Collection dress for around $70 total.


The only downside is that The Guild Shop is opened limited hours, so you must do your bargain hunting Monday through Friday from 9:30 to 3:30 or on Saturday from 10:00 to 2:00.
