The Bargain Box on William Hilton Parkway

The Bargain Box calls itself the original thrift store of Hilton Head Island, and it has been giving its proceeds to local nonprofits as grants since 1970. It is run by volunteers at 546 William Hilton Parkway. Hours are short: noon to 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and closed Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are visiting for a week, put it on a weekday afternoon plan.

This is the Hilton Head Island shop, not a Bargain Box in another city; several towns have one. Phone (843) 342-2469.

What You Will Find

A general-line thrift shop: clothing, jewelry, household goods, lamps and furniture, and a wide choice of books. Visitors who come every holiday call it their favorite thrift stop on the island, and say to expect a line at the door when it opens and a busy floor all afternoon.

Donating to the Bargain Box

The shop takes donations during its opening hours and gives a receipt for your tax records. Because the volunteers are there only four afternoons a week, bring donations then rather than leaving them at the door. Call (843) 342-2469 if you have a large piece or want to check what they can take.
