I prefer Sunshine Thrift Store to any other thrift store in Tampa. I have been shopping there for years now, pay $1-$7 for beautiful skirts and tops, and get compliments almost every time I wear them. Their prices for regular used clothing are the best around, usually a skirt will be $1.80 (and 90 cents on half-off day!!) When I have shopped for boys/men I have always found nice stuff too. I always find clothing that is good quality and in good condition at sunshine. The South Tampa location seems to pull in more name brand donations and in better shape.\r
They also have unique and old/vintage odds and ends in their glass case. Some of the things in the cases are more expensive but the longer they're in there the price goes down on some things. The other great thing is they're open later than most thrift stores so you can shop after work. \r
Here's a tip: Half off day is WONDERFUL day! You can get a whole new wardrobe for under $30. It's great. (by the way yes, you can find dressier stuff you can wear to work and it looks good!)\r
But it's crazy busy all day. I go the day before half off day. they're stocked to the brim with clothing, it's not that expensive so it's not like you're losing out on good prices and then it's not that busy. What you benefit from is them putting out more stock so you have much more selection. \r

Pros: great prices
Cons: i sneeze a lot when i'm there, use the restroom BEFORE you go (you'll thank me)
