Simply Thrift and Gift

$ 1,200 dresser… in a «thrift store». Enough said. Antique mall prices in a low budget atmosphere just doesn’t cut it with me. There are much better thrift stores in the area than this place.

Worse thrift store I’ve ever been too. I believe the older hispanic woman at the register is the owner and is rude and unprofessional. She asked me to leave my «tote» bag which is actually a purse at a cubby by the register. I told her it’s not a tote, it’s my purse and you want me to walk around without my purse? She then tried to back peddle and say it could knock stuff off the shelf. .omg. she then said since you are new I will let you keep it with you… I was dressed very fashionably, better than her by far. I would of told her off and left but I was curious to see the warehouse.
It is a total waste of time, nothing but over priced junk
sold by a woman who needs a lesson on treating people with kindness. …don’t go!

Simply Thrift is a shop in a fairly large warehouse space. It’s a bit dingy, a bit disorganized, but then that’s almost to be expected from a thrift shop. We were looking for clothes which they don’t have a lot of– there’s a few racks out in front of the entrance and a and a few more racks over in the corner. Their inventory is mostly home décor and furniture. They had a complete Spode tea service set that I adored, but it was *on sale* for $ 1200… that much money for almost anything at a thrift shop seems like too much. (Plus if it’s that expensive and it’s a delicate china tea set, put it in a locked display case! There were kids running around, you’re asking for trouble putting it out on an end cap.)
Overall Simply Thrift seems OK. I’d probably come back here if I was looking for a piece of furniture for my home.

Absolutely horrible experience. The older worker at the register was extremely rude when enquiring if a weather vane was for sale. A few moments later when I asked if I could look at some sunglasses she started being extremely rude to me. Totally totally unacceptable and unprofessional behavior. On top of the bad customer experience, the store is pretty bad. SKIP this place.

It’s huge so you think, wow I could really love this place. Then you start looking around and seeing the crazy pricing. They price old used stuff like it’s a boutique. And the staff was not friendly, lady tried to change tact after offending me with my baby. Won’t be back… :(

This is a real, old fashioned thrift store. My only complaint is the pricing is way off. For intance a worn out cheapy pool table with no felt on the top for $ 500. I know they accept offers but what use would it be? Although, as always at thrift stores, it is worth a look to find unique items. My son found some books for $ 1. Each. Check it out.

I just want there to be consistency on pricing and for the employees to treat you like a customer and not be rude. Is that too much to ask?

Super high prices for a bunch of junk. They do not have this place priced at thrift store prices. Granted; they do have some antiques, but for the most part especially in the isles where the kitchen stuff is, is ridiculous. I went in to look for a bowl to use for dog water, wanting to spend maybe about $ 2.75. Not one bowl under $ 10 no matter how plain or ugly. On my way to Goodwill where I know I can find thrift store items and thrift store prices!
PS: Just got back from Goodwill where I got the bowl I was looking for, for dog water @ $ 00.99 and a salad spinner for $ 3.00. At Simply Thrift I would have spent at least $ 25 for those two items. Please price your thrift store items at prices people expect when going to a thrift store!

Great deals. Very friendly people. Good prices. Picked up a good table for 150 with chairs. Thanks u

Worst thrift store I’ve been to yet. Lots of stuff but very pricey compared to the thrift store right in front of it which has similar items.

This store is more like a vintage store. They have pretty old stuff that is pretty pricy. The place is big but there are just a lot of pianos and dishware.

Was there today forgot to check in she really had came a long way and the store looks great!
Very nice it’s changed from a few months ago and the lady at the counter named Paty was very helpful and seems to know where everything is.
Will be going back soon.

This place is going downhill, fast.
They reduced the size of their store, they have additional (rude) employees, and the prices seem higher than before.
P. s. I’ve been a loyal customer for the last 2 years. But today I went in for the last time… One Item I tried to buy was «not for sale» even though it had a price tag on it, and a bunch of wooden hangers I found in a $ 1 bin with other hangers was raised to $ 5 at the register amd they wouldn’t honor it even though there were 5 or 6 other versions still in the bin!
I’ll never go back there again.

Some things are okay. SOME. Others seem to be ridiculously expensive. I had a sense the security guard kept thinking I was going to still something.
Oh and while I was there, and old man told the cashier that they were selling expired food, which they do that very often (they should put a sign saying they are expired) He told them his chocolate covered donuts were no good. Cashier smiled and giggled at the old mans remark. The expired food sells for a buck more than non expired food at a regular super market.

I have been a customer since opening day. Today was my last visit. I’ll never return. I had 4 items from various parts of the store, upon checkout the elderly white haired woman said I wouldn’t be able to buy any of them because they weren’t priced. She was very rude. My small son wanted a cheap starwars action figure (most likely from a happy meal). She said, sorry, no price, he can’t have it. He cried and she looked at him with scorn. So the store is open but nothing priced can be sold? Half the store is unpriced. Today she made my son cry and she treated me like dirt. I will never step foot in this place again and will spread the word on social media. I have alerted my women’s group (we go every week) and none of us will be back. Shame on you. Horrible!

I enjoy their selection of thrifted items. They have a wide selection of tchotchkes but are a little light on the clothing (for those seeking shops that sell 2^nd hand clothes). My biggest issue is pricing. They are far more expensive than most of the thrift stores I’ve been to. I saw a tea tin for $ 15. I collect tea tins, and this style/​brand I’ve picked up for $ 3-​$ 5 in several other places. They do have pinball machines for sales, old victrolas from time to time, and other sought after vintage furniture. It’s a bit disorganized, and instead of sectioning off a sorting area they just thrown sheets over items and put a sign that says ‘do not touch/​not for sale’
They close extremely early, I believe 6pm! Which is a bit crazy, and I’m not sure how they do business on the weekdays with hours like that.

I love this place! My fiancé just found a $ 700 bike for only $ 80!
We spoke with an employee and the why said that the owner buys entire homes from estate sales as well as abandoned lockers so there is always a ton of really cool and unique stuff!
Tons of electronics, garden equipment and furniture!

Meh, is pretty much all I have to say. Disorganized, expensive, dirty, etc… Will not be going back after trying for the third time.

I found this thrift store by surprise, I was just driving on Folsom and noticed it next to the Dollar Tree. I stopped in because I was on the look out for an old map… didn’t find it. Buuuuuuuut I found a crock pot for $ 7! It was in great condition the only problem with it was that the lid sucked. It was plastic and it had a crack but next to it was a glass lid that fit perfectly for $ 3. I took the items to the check stand and told the girl about the lid situation and I wouldn’t mind paying for the glass lid but to my surprise she said how bout we just switch out the lids? for no extra cost and viola! it was perfect! I got the crock pot with the glass lid for $ 7.60 can’t beat that price!
I noticed in the previous reviews saying the store is messy but when I went, it was very well organized. I even mentioned to my friend that it was the most organized thrift shop that I have ever been to! They had things organized in sections, even their spoons were spaced out nicely in their display case.
I had great customer service from a young African American girl maybe in her early twenties… there was another older gentleman maybe late 50s or so that was a bit intimidating, he walks around the whole store and hangs around the front door… he could of been the boss man.

This shop is undergoing changes and seems to be suffering from some growing pains. They recently expanded, almost doubling their space and in general seem less organized than when they first opened, and I have to say they were only moderately clean. In the middle section, among the clothing racks navigation sort of cramped though there is lots of space everywhere else.
There is a bathroom freely available (nice not to have to ask for a key) that doubles as a dressing room. One of the things I appreciate about this store is that (aside from a pretty average clothing section which is crowded, disorganized and priced with stapled on tags, arguh!) each of their departments has a very eclectic mix of items, from extraordinary vintage finds to the million and one coffee mug/​wine glass selection to weird stuff that may be junk to me but treasure to you and versy vicey.
With the expansion, they have added more furniture as well as a selection of some things you don’t see in your everyday thrift shop, I’ve seen hand tools and groovy older power tools, as well as some restaurant fixtures. Generally the inventory seems an interesting mix of donation, estate sale and ‘huh where did they get that’.
