Trina’s Thrift

Lots of overpriced junk. I don’t know why I keep wasting my time. Been there at least four times and never found anything. I make the round of thrift stores for my business and I rarely can’t find anything but not so at Trina’s. Nothing even remotely worth their prices. More like what’s left at a yard sale after it’s been picked over.

This place is FULL… of stuff!
Clothing was appropriately priced.
Some of the housewares were insanely priced if you were to come in during the week (without a 50% Discount Day). $ 10 for a set of 5 glass prep pinch bowls. Yikes, that’s retail price! 50% off would make them $ 5… much better. Not ALL prices were like that, I saw a lamp for $ 8, pretty good.
The further and further you go back into this store, the more piled up all of the items are. I almost felt like I was in an episode of Hoarders — walking through small pathways to see all of the furniture — But in a GOOD way… So much stuff, overwhelming. I like it.
I will definitely be back soon! I wish she would post when her 50% sales are… seems to be on random Friday/​Saturdays. but I don’t see a set schedule on her Facebook.
P. S. I was a bit miffed at the sign on the front door declaring customer should leave shopping bags and backpacks at the front desk while shopping… I’ve seen a few of these signs before at other businesses. Such a turn off as a loyal customer — to be treated as some sort of shoplifter who can’t be trusted.

Trina’s Thrift is a treasure hunter’s paradise, consolidated down from two stores, there are a multitude of items hidden in every nook and cranny. Trina, herself is a down to earth mom of four beautiful children who are her world. Collecting antiques, recycled goods and antique vending machines is her pasttime. I have found a treasure trove of books and household goods. She takes all donations and gives back to the community. Recently, on a Tuesday, I witnessed her helping a fire victim resupply. When asked about what was going on, I discovered that Trina works with local churches and agencies to help people who are in dire straits. Families who have lost everything in house fires to homeless people looking to improve thier situation. I always stop by once a week because of the great finds but more so because here is a small business owner who gives back to her community out of love.
Check it out on the Trail, a rare jewel that’s hidden in the desert.
