With op shops sprawled across metropolitan Adelaide, there is surely a store near you. Here is a handy guide to some of the best op shops in town – showcasing their best quirks and what they are most popular for. So what are you waiting for? Come along and visit an op shop as a way of celebrating the warmer weather!

RSPCA Blackwood Op Shop

Tucked away in a little array of shops in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, you will always find a treasure at Blackwood. Don’t be fooled by its small size – this op shop has lots of heart and soul, and it’s always packed to the rafters.

Bonus point: it’s also known for selling designer items at low prices. You’re likely to find anything from Tigerlily to Karen Walker at a fraction of the original price. Replenished daily by the team of friendly volunteers, Blackwood is every op shopper’s dream.

Location: Blackwood Plaza, 168-170 Main Road, Blackwood

RSPCA Brighton Op Shop

You can find our most southerly store in the beachside suburb of Brighton – where we have been for over 40 years. The Brighton Op Shop is home to RSPCA’s longest serving volunteer team, including the lovely Regina, who has kindly donated the past 42 years of her life volunteering to help animals in need.

Just down from the intersection of Brighton Road and Jetty Road, this store is filled with quirky finds and an assortment of different pot plants – all at bargain prices. Conveniently enough, Brighton also has some of Adelaide’s best cafes down on Jetty Road. So come down, grab a cuppa and thrift to your heart’s content.
