    Julie’s List has a page on southeast Michigan clothing shops and resources, including Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul Society shops in the metro Detroit and Downriver areas. The ThriftShopper.com also has a directory by zip code of thrift shops, and the database does include some southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio listings.

    Be sure to check out the Mom 2 Mom site for southeast Michigan and my Garage and Mom 2 Mom sale posts.

    I’m also including the thrift shops in my “What can you get at … ” series.
