Bargains in Bergen

Don't think thrift. Think recycle in the down cycle.

Real housewives of New Jersey like to hunt for a bargain. And there’s no better hunting than in these re-sale stores. Many of our richer sisters empty their closets at these places so expect to find some great high-end pieces at bargain basement prices.
