Goodwill Outlet Store is a gigantic warehouse with rows and rows of massive bins that contain clothing, shoes, books, purses, and a lot more. Everything you buy is by the pound: most of them under $2. It is ridiculously cheap, much cheaper than the usual thrift stores! If you are lucky, you can find gently-used designer jeans and shirts that actually fit your size – and buy them under 5 dollars.

The negatives are that there are no mirrors and the clothes are not sorted (they are just lumped together). But hey, Lower East Side might charge you like $100 for these items. All you need is a friend with good taste and strength to dig into the massive piles of clothes. You probably want to go in the weekdays since the weekend is packed by people. Good luck!
