Thrift stores in Feilding

If you like the hunt, Feilding, Manawatu-Whanganui is worth a wander: 1 second-hand and charity shops are mapped here. Every one of the 1 is a charity shop, which tells you something about Feilding: the second-hand scene here runs on donations, and the money stays local.

This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around Feilding (within about 12 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. The one to know is Op Shop — small scene, but that's half the charm. If a shop's missing from Feilding's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about thrifting in Feilding

Thrifting tips for Feilding

A few things worth knowing before you work through Feilding's thrift stores:

• Ask about hold policies at Op Shop. Eyeing furniture you can't take today? Many shops will hold an item for 24 hours. Ask before someone else buys it.
• Don't ignore the kids' section. Kids outgrow everything in months, so the children's racks are full of barely-worn quality. Even without kids, the small furniture is great for small spaces.
• Check for matching sets. Single plates and glasses are easy; full sets are the prize. Scan the whole shelf — mates hide behind other stock.
• Try everything on. Sizing across decades is chaos. The fitting room — or a brave moment by the mirror — saves you from the almost-right jacket.

Good to know

If you spot one of the 1 that's closed, or a great shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

Prices at Feilding's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Feilding included.
