Mixies (now called MAC) is an antiques mall in Mechanicsville that is home to some interesting booths

Past Chapters in Midlothian has dope mid-century modern stuff at reasonable prices … which are still more expensive than one might hope

edit: if you’re looking for CHEAP cheap … and a moderate adventure, high risk/high reward, total scavenging mission … nothing beats the Goodwill outlet warehouse on Midlo Turnpike. Textiles and homegoods sold by the pound. Kinda dystopian. Sensorily overwhelming. Some trips there are a total lose, other times you find an unexpected treasure for a tiny fraction of what it’s worth. My luckiest finds have been a whole set of corningware baking dishes, some brand new wireless noise-canceling headphones, a designer silk dress from the sixties, and a handful of 100% cashmere sweaters. Fair warning that the place can be a madhouse. Not sure what the deal is with furniture there, though.
