Thrift stores for Men Suits (St. Paul, Marshall: coupons, how much, neighborhoods)

[hughng92]

Hello everyone,
I am new to the state from Missouri and I am a college student. I am looking for a thrift store like goodwills in some nice neighborhoods where they sell deals of Men Suits. Do you have any recommendation? Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Everyday People in St. Paul.

But may I also suggest these non thrift stores that sell new suits for very cheap:
Marshalls
K&G mensmart
Macy's
JC Penney

^Agreed with the above. It can be a little daunting as a young professional when you see how much "grownup clothes" cost, but there are ways to defer the cost a little if you're smart. Sure, you can go to Brooks Brothers and blow 3 grand on a couple righteous, perfectly fitting suits.... but if you know what you're looking for, you can just as easily scrounge at Marshalls or Macy's and walk away with 5 or 6 suits for like a grand.

BUT--and I can't stress this enough!--make sure you find a tailor near you to work with, as they can make all the difference. "Off the rack" suits tend to not fit perfectly, as they're manufactured to fit as wide a section of humanity... not you specifically. But as long as the shoulders and chest are right, a good tailor can fix the rest for around $50-75.

Oh also, maybe check out the "Saks' off 5th" or whatever it's called... it's in the Mpls skyway (near Brooks Brothers, actually), and they have some outlandishly good deals on suits. Like, 2 for 1 on Hugo Boss type deals.

Unique thrift store has had some excellent suits in there. When we were low on cash it's where we got my husbands new jacket and I was impressed. They have some old, cheapies too, of course, but you can pull a nice suit out of there.

I'd also check ARC. Bot chains have discount days if you want to save even more money.

Also, several thrifts have coupons on the Choose to Reuse book which is free at your library or via an app. Not sure if Unique is one but Arc has 30% off.
