Check out our newly remodeled online shopping!
In 2017 we bought our first liquidation pallet and were immediately hooked! We sold on social media and at flea markets, and eventually expanded to roadside pop-ups, then fairs and festivals. By the end of 2023, we needed a bigger and more permanent spot. We combined our financial coaching services with the liquidation adventures to create The Thrifty Mountaineer.
At The Thrifty Mountaineer, there's something for everyone! We still offer great prices on brand name items, but have grown to include many vintage and antique items. Our most fun selling point, however, is our Bigfoot and Cryptid items. From shirts and stickers, to signs, spinners and plush, we are Morgantown's largest--and first!--Bigfoot and Cryptid Shop!
In our travels throughout West Virginia and Appalachia, we've met many talented local artisans. We're proud to consign their wares in our shop!

At The Thrifty Mountaineer, we believe that providing exceptional customer service is just as important as offering top-quality products.
Morgantown may be one of WV's largest cities, but once you enter our doors we want you to feel like you've stepped into small-town Appalachia.
Have a seat and swap tall tales, or peruse the pages of an old book in the Book Nook. Sift through antiques and vintage items, or try on brand new clothes up to 90% off retail. Don't forget to sign the visitor log on our antique Royal Typewriter.
Our helpful staff is ready to assist in your shopping or stand back and let you browse--you decide!
We believe in two things:
1. Saving you money
2. Weird and wonderful West Virginia
We promise a unique experience focused on you, our customer. We are eclectic, unique, and even a little weird, but like Bigfoot (probably) says: We're "the funnest store in Morgantown!"

"We provide programs and services to individuals and families affected by epilepsy/seizure disorders."
We donate 10% of every eBay sale to EAWCP in honor of our epilepsy warrior. We walk, educate, and advocate under the team name "Kiley's Krew".

"A non profit organization helping veterans, veteran families and other associated organizations and groups."
We've been honored to lay wreaths at the National Cemetery in Grafton, WV, and are a proud sponsor of BBB's annual "Ride for Fallen Soldiers".
