When my wife and I lived in State College, PA, we loved this store; it's called Uptown Cheapskate, and as the name implies, you can get brand-name clothes without the crazy brand-name price tags attached. And now, after a press release has confirmed it, Uptown Cheapskate is getting ready to open its first New Jersey location.

Where In NJ Is Uptown Cheapskate Opening Its First Store?

Coming soon to the Westfalls Plaza in Woodland Park, Uptown Cheapskate will be a great addition to New Jersey. I'm pretty sure I still have shoes and shirts that I bought from this place 10 years ago that are still intact and holding strong.

Can You Donate Old Clothes To Uptown Cheapskate?

You can "donate" clothes to Uptown Cheapskate, but it's not like dropping off clothes to a general thrift store. Uptown Cheapskate will buy your slightly used brand-name clothes, and anything they don't buy they can help you donate to a local charity organization. Uptown Cheapskate stores partner with local charities in their area to help find places for your used clothes to go if Uptown Cheapskate can't buy them from you.

When Is Uptown Cheapskate Opening In New Jersey?

Although there's no exact opening date revealed from the press release, I'm excited to see this store opening its first New Jersey location!

New Jersey Goodwill Stores Will Not Accept These 24 Items

So much of what we accumulate, we don't really use. Some of the stuff that is cluttering up our closets, basements, spare bedrooms, and garages is in good condition and can easily be used by someone else. 

Other items that have simply worn out or broken need to be cleaned out or replaced, too. But, Goodwill is not the place for those items.

Here is what Goodwill says about items that they can't and won't take.
