Hours:
M ñ F 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
OK ladies . . . here is one of the best kept secrets in
Marin County, California. ONE MORE TIME is
a small
shop on a main drag in San Rafael, whose only
drawback is somewhat limited hours for working
women. This is due to the
reliance on volunteers being available for it is a thrift
shop that generates revenues to support The
Suicide
Prevention Hotline. As is true of many
thrift shops,
you can find a wide variety of items here, however,
let's focus on their womenís clothes. As is true of
many thrift shops, the quality
of the merchandise is a reflection of the community
of individuals making donations to its inventory. It is
obvious that this particular community is not only
generous . . . but well-garbed!

If you love shoes . . . THIS is the place for you!
ìDSW caters to the passionate shoe
enthusiast and indulges customers who love to
shop.î YES . . . theyíre singing our song! One
caution . . . it is possible to become overwhelmed by
the sheer magnitude of offerings, but if you take it
row-by-row, and/or come equipped with a list of the
types of shoes (styles, colors, etc.) that youíre
seeking . . . youíll do just fine!
Whether there is a DISCOUNT SHOE WAREHOUSE
(DSW) close to you, or you happen to find
yourself traveling to a city where one of the 198
stores resides, you will probably experience ìShoe-
Bliss!î Each warehouse is a sprawling open-spaced
repository of over 2,000 styles and 30,000 pairs of
shoes (for women, men and children) at up to 50%
off most department store prices. Of course, this is
before one considers the substantial Sale Racks in
the back of each store where the skilled Alternative
Shopper can score anywhere from a 30 - 70%
additional discount!
