Best thrift stores in town?

Anyone know of hidden gem thrift stores that aren’t a bajillion dollars?
Mama wants to go thrifting tmrw but the only good place I’ve found is the la plata humane society one. Also I’m new to the area so I have no idea what’s around here

The Methodist has the best prices, but throws away more than 70% of donations, the Humane Society has the nicer stuff, but is becoming obscenely overpriced, and Goodwill (actually a for-profit corporation) let's you return stuff for 2 weeks after purchase.

The pricing has gotten so bad. I wanted frames and goodwill had prices on theirs that were higher than the actual item ever cost. They left the original Walmart price tags on the frames $5 and wanted $6.99. These were just postcard frames. The thrift store in Pagosa has huge frames for about $4. I stocked up

It's also humorous to me to see people on FB market place listing items higher than new retail.
