Angels Of Hope Thrift Store

Overall, great deals. Weekends everything is marked down. I go regularly.

A friend suggested this thrift store to me, saying its one of her favorites in town, and I can see why! It suddenly got real cold out and I was kind of worried about my sweater /​warm clothes situation. I walked in around 6:40, having only 20 minutes until closing. The man working gave a very friendly 15 minute warning as I quickly ran around the store. I had an arm full of possible buys, as I ran into the fitting room about 5 minutes before closing. I ended up getting a bunch of good finds! 3 sweaters, 3 long-​selves and a jacket type over coat all for 20 bucks! The worker didn’t kick me out right at 7 and was very nice about it saying «I saw you looking through all the sweaters and warm clothes, and well, I don’t want anyone to be cold, so I figured what’s a few extra minutes» so sweet! Great prices! Great staff! Great place! I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone!

This is the best thrift store in ARCATA! Love coming here and you can’t beat 3 red tags for a $ 1 Monday’s!

Another great thrift re-​sale store. Angles of Hope has pretty much a little bit of everything in it. Service counter as you walk in to your right. Household items, glassware, pots and pans, etc. to your left.
There are racks and racks full of clothing, women’s, men’s and children’s. They also have a «new» merchandise rack at the front by the counter — these items are at full re-​sale, however significantly discounted off retail — most items on this rack are new with tags. Lots of cheap children’s clothing. A decent selection of footwear by the children’s clothes.
Books, music and other types of merchandise to the back and left side. They have a large selection of old vinyl here and a pretty decent amount of cd’s, dvd’s, etc. It’s pretty well organized and the staff I have encountered have all been friendly and helpful.
They have discount days that vary everyday and there is always a sale of some kind going on. Saturdays are half price day. They also have ½ price days on different categories throughout the store regularly. This is a good source for thrift-​ing and finding decent merchandise at a fair or better value. A great thrift shop and worth the stop.
4 Stars.

Very disappointed. However! I LOVE that they have children’s books for free. It’s good that they encourage reading to young kids, and I love that.

On Fridays you pick a stone out of a bag for a discount. We scored 75% off a $ 30 desk and it came out to about $ 8. We spotted something else after we already paid and Awesome Al still honored the 75% off. Whatta sweetie.
Saturdays are half off! They have daily discounts but I don’t remember all of them offhand. Worth checking out!

I have been to most of the thrift stores in the area (you can read my other reviews), but only got a chance to go to Angels of Hope today. The store is very large and they have shopping carts, which is great if you’ve shopping with a toddler. What they do have: nice selection of women’s and men’s clothing, nicely organized, if not super large babies/​kids section, some furniture, housewares and books. THe don’y have many kids toys or other baby/​kid accessories. I did think the prices on household goods were a little higher than other shops in the area (Miranda’s, St. Vincent de Paul), even though the quality of items was equivalent. They do have different daily discounts, I think one was half off for students and faculty, so maybe that’s the time to go.
