General Information
There are many places in Portland and Lewiston that sell reasonably priced clothing. The stores listed in this guide are mostly thrift stores. Thrift stores sell “gently used” clothing, which means that someone else owned the item and used it, but it is still in good condition. Because the items are used, thrift stores sell them at a discount. That makes thrift stores a great option for purchasing more expensive items, like winter coats.
