Transit tip: 1 min walk from SW 87 Ave & SW 193 Ter; Bus 287
Located inside the East Ridge at Cutler Bay retirement community, the Ruth Kinsman Thrift Shop is only open on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. But itās totally worth the wait. The shop is run almost entirely by volunteers within the retirement community. Itās also stocked with donations from residents who have downsized their homes before moving in. This means unique and special items abound. Thereās also an adjoining plant shop for those who have a green thumb.Ā Ā
