The Thrifty Post is on Facebook, where people can view some of its inventory or leave a message. “We have more hard goods than clothing, and we have some furniture.”The Thrifty Post sells preowned and new, with-the-tags-still-on apparel, favoring the Western style of clothing like jackets, flannels, and jeans. The Thrifty Post accepts donations left at its outdoor shed during business hours. The Thrifty Post also offers customers a “Loyalty Card” that gives a discount for every 10 purchases.
