Humane Society Thrift Store

The staff is friendly and welcoming. Each time I go in there, they are discussing business strategies and really seem to care about how things are being run.
It doesn’t have that thrift store smell, which is nice.
Some clothes are a bit overpriced (for a thrift) on out of style stuff, but their mark-​up clothes, purses and shoes are current, cute and quality brands for a steal.
I got a new Roxy sundress for $ 8, and a pair of leather boots for $ 17! Yes please.
They seem to have a lot of specials which is nice. It’s really strange that long sleeve shirts cost more than short sleeves, but if they have a sale, it seems ok.
The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is their practice of pricing collectibles and housewares at eBay prices. I had questioned a kitchen item and was told it was less than it was on eBay.
When I went home I looked up the item. They were correct, there were several on there for a bit more (new, with shipping bundled into the price), but looking closer, not one had sold on there. That was the asking price. If millions of shoppers didn’t want it at that price, the thrift might want to be more open to negotiation. I ended up paying a few dollars more at TJ Maxx for the same thing, brand new.
It’s a thrift store, not an eBay store. On Ebay it’s delivered to my door with a money back guarantee.
I understand this is for a good cause and they need to cover costs, but their items are donated and don’t do any good sitting on the shelves overpriced and unsold.

This is a great place to find treasures. The women are wonderful. The prices are fair and if you don’t think so tell them they’ll listen. They have special days for discounts ask. Donate and buy it’s a lovely cause.

Because it’s a benefit to the Humane Soociety, I’m going 3 stars. That said, compared to the valley, Stockton and Modesto, they are about twice over-​priced. I asked about a particular collectible item and the salesperson/​volunteer said they price collectibles at ½ the going price on e-​bay. Fair-​enough but on other items such as clothing at least 2 bucks higher than on comparable items in the valley. it may be supply and demand up there as the Salvation army store closed down, leaving th eRed Church thrift as their main competition.
