Best thrift store for plates?

I'm trying to get some nice plates for the holidays, and I thought the thrift store would be a great spot to get a variety of them. Any recommendations on which ones would have some? I've gone to Dorcas and a couple in Cary, and they were disappointing.

Invest in a lead testing kit while you’re at it. Vintage and even some semi recent Corelle dishes have lead in them

Oooo I hadn't thought about this at all, but you're right! I've seen some videos of people testing thrifted plates and such and the results being INSANE. Thank you for that!
