American Legion Bargain Barn –Summer Season Update

The Team at the Bargain Barn and Post853 thank you for your support this season — the Barn will reopen in October.

The Borrego Springs Bargain Barn stands as a beacon for thrift lovers and community supporters. Located near Christmas Circle at 787 Ave Sureste, this thrift store is no ordinary shop; it's a key player in backing the American Legion Post 853, funding various community and veteran initiatives.


More Than Just Thrifting

Every Purchase Fuels Community Support


The Bargain Barn is pivotal in the American Legion Post 853's community efforts. The post's recent expansion, including a new dining room, highlights its commitment to bringing people together for a cause. Regular events like pancake breakfast fundraisers exemplify how the Legion and the Bargain Barn unite the community for local causes, such as supporting school programs.


The Force Behind the Finds

A Community-Driven Thrift Store


Managed locally and powered by volunteers, the Bargain Barn offers an eclectic mix of items, from household goods, exercise equipment, furniture to vintage wear and more. Open Friday and Saturday, except during summer, this cash-only thrift store is fueled by the community for the community, proving that every little bit helps.


Hidden amongst the treasures, you might just unearth a hidden gem – a vintage find or a unique piece at a fraction of the cost. With so many unpicked items, it's a treasure hunter's paradise!
