Nifty Thrifty’s current Sales Calendar – as featured in Active Living, the Mason County Senior Association’s monthly newsletter.

Lots of Christmas stuff!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from the management, staff and volunteers of Nifty Thrifty. This year, Nifty Thrifty Shelton has more Christmas stuff than we’ve seen in a very long time. Come take a look at all of the decorations and accessories.

Holiday hours

We will be open during the Christmas Parade, closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, and hours may vary depending on the weather.

50/50 Raffle Drawing for New Lighting

If you win, you get 50% of the total of tickets sold as a gift certificate to Nifty Thrifty. Proceeds go to the new lighting fund for the store. See store for more details.

Donate your old VHS movies and plastic grocery bags

Yes, we have customers who want to buy VHS tapes. No, we don’t have many in stock right now. Yes, we’re asking you to donate. No, we’re not joking. Yes, your donation benefits Mason County seniors and community programs. We gladly accept donations of clean, unbroken items in good condition, in boxes or bags. Speaking of bags, we are in need of plastic grocery bags. Thank you for your donations.

Missing shopping carts

Several of our grocery carts are missing. They are smaller carts, marked “Tuesday Morning.” Please return them if you find them.

Shirts, Pants, Coats and more!

Nifty Thrifty Shelton has so much clothing in stock right now, we recommend you watch for sales! Our football, flannels and hunting items, winter coats and outerware are priced to sell, even at regular prices. We love our customers – stay warm. Once again, thank you donors.

  • Rain boots for men, women & children

Lots of Jewelry

Come take a look.

Jewelry is one of the top thrift store finds because many quality one-of-a-kind items are no longer being made, so “new” versions are not always available anywhere. Nifty has a wonderful variety of timeless, beautiful rings, earrings, necklaces, pins, brooches, and accessories. Upgrade your look. Come shop. Save big.

We need plastic fruit clamshell containers (we’re making decorations that use them)

SO MANY items are here

Donations, sales, and our volunteers are all strong. Lots of items have just arrived on Nifty’s sales floor. We have a huge backstock, so more items go on display every day. Come shop for your favorites – grab the labels and quality you thought you couldn’t afford, often for pennies on the dollar!

  • Clean displays, items inspected for quality, at great prices
  • Nifty has knick-knacks displayed in several places. The ones by the window sell pretty fast, so be aware your favorite might be gone if you wait to come back later.
  • See Nifty for shoes. Yes, shoes. If they’re on display, they are clean and have very little wear at a great value.

  • Unusual items like this lamp sell very quickly. Nifty’s selection of furniture and home accessories has daily treasures decorators love.
  • Nifty’s aisles are inviting you.

A nifty model of Nifty Thrifty

Yes, donors, we do accept furniture. Please call first.

We welcome your donations of sellable items. Nifty Thrifty supports the MCSAA, a 501c3 nonprofit that helps local seniors. Thank you, donors. We appreciate you. Do you have extra furniture in good condition? Call us & donate it! We welcome knick-knacks, tools, VHS tapes, clothing, and all kinds of items. Please be polite about donations and remember that 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. are our donation hours, so that we can process your clean, dry donations. We do insist that donations be in boxes or bags that we keep. A good rule of thumb is, if you would not gift it to a friend, the item is probably not suitable for donation. Thank you.

ARTISTS: Looking for art supplies or ideas for upcycling items? Remember to see us. A growing number of artists are discovering how fun and affordable it is to get creative with things you’ll find at Nifty Thrifty.

Please bring all Nifty Thrifty donations to the Nifty Thrifty store, not the Senior Activities Center.

Our store is full of so many cool things! Also, check our Facebook for sales!

DONORS: Please don’t donate moldy or broken items. The volume of garbage has reached multiple dumpsters that need to be picked up three times per week, which is very expensive. Remember, we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit for the benefit of this community. Thank you for your consideration.

VOLUNTEERS: A list of needed volunteers is continually in progress. Some of the tasks Nifty Thrifty Shelton could use help with can be done while sitting, and some require only about two hours per week.

THANK YOU, Volunteers, Donors, & Shoppers!

We truly appreciate everybody. We always need more Volunteers and Donations. Nifty Thrifty volunteers have a great time and support good causes. Volunteering also provides free, valuable experience and job skills training.

VOTED BEST THRIFT STORE – AGAIN!

Thank you for voting for us as the best Thrift Store in the Shelton-Mason County Journal’s “Best of Mason County Reader’s Poll.” This year we not only won 1st Place in Shelton, but we also earned the #2 spot for Thrift Store from North Mason voters.

PLEASE BE PATIENT with your DONATIONS – it’s best to call first. Do NOT leave donations here after hours. DO be selective before you donate. Put all donations in a box or bag we can KEEP, thank you.

We currently need:

  • Volunteers – special request for help with our White Tag (name brand & vintage) Clothing!
  • Plastic grocery shopping bags
  • Packing tape
  • Folgers coffee
  • Large garbage bags

See our large selection of Books!

Nifty Thrifty’s Vintage Corner also has a Kitchen display and a Toy display.

We welcome and invite you to donate and shop at Nifty Thrifty and discover how Mason County’s longest-operating thrift store is also its friendliest and most helpful!

Thank you for your donations. Your support helps the Mason County Senior Activities Association and other local causes including Community Lifeline, Turning Pointe, Worksource/Crossroads, and more. Nifty Thrifty recently donated gift certificates to the Reunification Program, Mason County, and addiction awareness.
