Top Notch Thrift Store

I don’t always find something during my visits, but when I do, it a steal! Fun place to browse even if you’re not in the market for anything. The staff is always friendly and helpful!

Top Notch Thrift Store is a rare gem in the world of thrift. The store is huge, they have a wide selection, the prices are LOW, everything is clean and organized, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. We always stop here on our way to Astoria (at least 4 times per year) and we always find something to buy (usually a lot of somethings!) Their basket sales and discount days are great.
Just a tip from one who’s been here many times… Please, ignore the reviewer that stated that all they have are ‘gross old lady clothes’. «Old» is only a state of mind not the number of years you’ve been alive. That said, I’ve found plenty of stylish — non elastic waist — jeans and shorts (read: Levi’s, Lee, etc) at Top Notch at fantastic prices that put Goodwill to shame. But you’ll also find tees, tops, blouses, nightwear, men’s clothing, children’s clothing, outerwear, work-​out apparel, and intimates. Almost all of it with modern brand labels (including designer), all in good repair, tidy/​nicely displayed and super CLEAN.
Top Notch also carries housewares, home décor, art (some great vintage finds), gently used furniture (no saggy smelly sofas here), books, vinyl records, crafting/​sewing supplies and holiday items. Again, all orgainzed, all clean and the selection rotates often enough to make it fun every time we visit.
The fact that the monies go to the Senior Center is just icing on the cake. This is classic thrifting, and I mean that in the best sense of the phrase. We love this shop and will gladly give them our patronage as long as they are in business.
P. S. These folks also have a Facebook Page and they keep it updated regularly – bravo, Top Notch!

This place is super lame! It’s filled with nothing but gross old lady clothes, you know pants with elastic waists and those god awful long dresses which look more like tents than dresses. Not even worth a look — trust me on this. One star because the gal working there was nice.

This is by far my most favorite thrift shop I have EVER been to! They have clothes, craft supplies, toys, home décor, furniture, you name it. And everything is in good condition and VERY inexpensive! A steal, really!
The proceeds go to the St Helen’s Senior Center, and they are always needing donations. When they have a lot of clothes in stock, they have what they call their «basket sale.» All clothes you can get into a hand basket: $ 5! Can’t beat that!
I’ve purchased gently used baby clothes, holiday décor (they are very organized seasonally), furniture, and household items. I fill a shopping cart, and always leave spending less then $ 10. It’s insane! My brother got a 7ft pre-​lit faux Christmas tree last December for $ 8. My favorite things that I’ve bought are a handmade scarf ($ 1), a pair of antique lamps ($ 4), and a woven basket ($.50). They randomly have 50% and 75% off sales on certain categories. Last time I was in, I got my son a toy (I’d been eyeballing it new at Toys R Us for $ 25) in gently used condition, stickered at $ 1 and toys were 50% off that day!
Next time you’re up HWY 30, you HAVE to check this place out!
They are picky with what they take for donations, and the place is clean, organized, and does not smell. The volunteers that work there are always in good spirits and very helpful.
Next time I’m going to donate my used items, it will NOT be to Goodwill or Salvation Army!
