Bluffton Thrift Stores
Goodwill, a Habitat ReStore, an animal-rescue shop and a run of church-run thrift stores, plus the consignment shops, with where to donate.
Bluffton is one of the best places near Hilton Head to go thrifting. The thrift stores in Bluffton, SC are almost all run for a cause, from two Goodwill stores to shops that fund an animal rescue, a women’s shelter, two Catholic schools and Habitat for Humanity’s house building, and most sit within a few minutes of each other along US 278 and the Bluffton Parkway, so an afternoon can take in four or five. Most close on Sunday and several on Monday; the two Goodwill stores are the ones that open every day.

Consigned furniture, art and lighting in a long low building on May River Road. 1230 May River Road.
A big furniture and home-goods consignment shop. 28 Kitties Landing Road.
Consignment shops sell on behalf of the owner rather than for a charity, so prices are higher and the stock is picked over first. Bluffton’s best are for the house: Coastal Exchange on May River Road for coastal furniture, art and lamps, and Vintage Market on Kitties Landing Road, a warehouse of consigned furniture. The Revival Room at the outlets sells upscale women’s clothes, shoes and bags, and Once Upon A Child buys and sells what children outgrow. For older pieces, see the antique dealers on our Bluffton shopping guide.
