Since fashionistas, shopaholics and bloggers nationwide recognize thrift shopping as the secret to purchasing unique finds for low prices, long gone are the days of spending $60 on an outfit from a popular retail store. From 50 cent racks to denim under $5, these Baton Rouge thrift shops have you covered.

Located on Burbank Drive, this thrift store sits close to LSU’s campus and caters to students with its 50 percent student discount on Wednesdays. Here Today Gone Tomorrow gives to more than 70 charities within the Baton Rouge community, head cashier Chanea Wannamaker said.
The store donates proceeds to various causes, including battered women, family services, the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank and more. The thrift store also offers clothing, accessories, footwear and home goods for low prices.
Goodwill on Burbank Drive
Also claiming a Burbank Drive address, Goodwill offers a wide range of clothing, accessories, footwear and home goods updated daily. With a vast array of denim, some fashionistas choose to purchase aged denim jeans and cut them into high-waisted shorts and cut offs.
