Boomerangs is an interesting twist on a thrift store concept. Located in JP Centre, Boomerangs is home to the castoff items of a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood as well as stock of items that didn't sell from select Metro Boston businesses.
If you live nearby you'll want to "pop-in" to Boomerangs as you pass by just to check out what is in stock at the moment. You'll find an extraordinarily eclectic collection of CD's, kitchenwares that range from dishes and glasses to crystal and appliances, a huge assortment of used clothes and lots and lots of books. Plus, you can even find furniture, though the furniture typically is quite used... you'll find some rare finds on good pieces on the rare occaision as I have.
All in all the staff is very helpful and frequent visits will result in great finds and astounding bargains. My most recent visit last week resulted in discovering margarita glasses from Pottery Barn that someone obviously had never used and decided to dispose of... at 75 cents a stem!
