Our History

Bette Moffett  and a group of like-minded women founded Nifty Thrifty in 1975 to fulfill the need for affordable clothing and housewares in the area. In the beginning Nifty Thrifty opened as a consignment shop and operated with a group of 95 volunteers. The huge task of bookkeeping made it a necessity to switch over to strictly donations. The shop has been in many locations around Brandon since 1975, but it has always boasted affordable prices. In 2011 Bette estimated the shop had given $250,000 back to the community. In 2024 we estimate Nifty Thrifty has given the community another $150,000, and we still have the lowest prices in the area, and we are still women-owned and volunteer-operated.

Our Mission

Our mission is to sell clothing and other reusable items at reasonable prices.

Our task is to keep as much as possible out of landfills.

Our hope is to help our community in its quest to be welcoming and vibrant, compassionate and supportive, educational and entertaining to our citizens and visitors alike.

We do this by giving to local programs, projects, events, activities, organizations, groups and ideas.
