Greater Portland’s 9 Best Under-The-Radar Thrift Shops For Incredible Bargains

Somewhere in southern Maine, you can buy secondhand clothes by the pound. Not by the shirt or the hanger, but by weight, straight out of rolling bins. That detail alone sent me down a rabbit hole. My list grew fast: a church shop with old-school prices, a community center closet open only a few mornings a week, and a resale spot that invites you to race to the rack.

Natural Evolution: A New Family Retreat on Sebago Lake

This newly built getaway on the shores of Lake Sebago may look quite different from the 1970s camp that preceded it, but the property’s original intent—to bring family together—remains intact. “Lake Sebago is my favorite place on the planet,” says homeowner Ann LaCasce, who grew up visiting her grandparents’ camp and then, later, the one owned by her uncle. After her uncle’s passing in 2015, it eventually became clear to LaCasce that the deteriorating structure would need to be rebuilt if it were to continue operating as a family gathering place.
