What the map tells us about thrifting in Indianapolis

8 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.

Thrifting tips for Indianapolis
Regulars learn these fast; visitors to Indianapolis can skip the learning curve:
- Don't skip the linens at Goodwill. Tablecloths, curtains and wool blankets are routinely excellent and routinely overlooked. Check for stains in good light.
- Bring a tape measure at Uptown Cheapskate. The perfect sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Tape measure in the bag, every trip.
- Check the art and frames. Original art, good frames, and the occasional genuine print turn up constantly. Frames alone are worth the habit.
- Inspect electronics in the store. Plug it in before you pay. Most thrift shops sell electronics as-is, and a cheap record player can be an expensive paperweight.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Indianapolis — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Indianapolis can take a while to appear. The 34 above are only as current as the community map. A shop that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
Prices at Indianapolis'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 — Indianapolis included.
