The Rainbow Op Shop

This op shop would have to be in my list of top 3! I found out today that they were previously in Ponsonby, then K Road, now in Avondale, but looking for new premises again. I hope they don’t move too far away where ever they go!
The woman behind the counter has always been really friendly, chatty and helpful when I have been in. They have a long rack of children’s clothes for those with youngsters, a decent range of men’s wear (generally x-​large though), lots of women’s clothes, books in an organised fashion, some great crockery (I have bought some matching vases) and glassware.
The best bit really is that it is the most affordable I have seen in Auckland. Not only do they have a $ 1 rack out the front with decent enough clothes, but they also have on offer 50C containers of clothes (children’s and adults). It offers prices that most of us would expect to pay for second hand. This isn’t me being stingy, this is me being practical — these charity second hand shops support the needy and they sell to those of us who struggle to fill a wardrobe with brand new clothes. Keep up the good work guys!
