I usually only come when they have ½ sales because as others have said it’s a little pricey. I don’t mind that it’s pricey since they donate tons of money to the community so my money goes to a good cause. But I’d rather pay half. They have a nice range of everything. Clothing for everyone in the family, board games, golf clubs, VHS, DVD’s, CD’s, and lots of shoes. I’m bummed they only take cash but there’s a Wells Fargo next door, so you could just go next door if you really found something you couldn’t go without. I will continue to shop this Thrift and Gift Store because it supports local foundations, and schools.

Everything is over priced. I guess if they didnt use the word«thrift» it wouldnt be that big of a deal. But then again, for used stuff… it is. I couldnt walk around without being followed closely and stared at by one of their employees. Even had an awkward moment of eye contact when I caught her spying on me through a mirror. It wasnt a pleasant experience. I wont be going back.

Great wares. I’ve found some very high-quality clothes here. Suitable for all ages. Sometimes the volunteers can seem less-than-friendly, but do the following to have a great experience here: Keep in mind that the staff is unpaid, bring cash(the only payment accepted), and give yourself a little time to look!

Cute upscale thrift shop run by a fun bunch of ladies. Not a huge selection but feels«curated»; definitely not junky. Prices range from cheap — 50 cents or a dollar — to more expensive for vintage/collectible items. Everything is clean so you won’t have to wash your hands after a few minutes here! It’s a fun place to browse and more easily navigable than bigger stores.

This place is a combination of the old«Off Center» antique and gift store(over-priced home goods from swap meet and estate sales) combined with the amazing(and very low priced) closed Emanual Hospital Thrift Shop that has ventured into a not-for-profit thrift store benefiting many local charities. Equipped from everything from clothing for both adult and children, men and women, combining used and antique housewares and furniture pieces, with a bit of jewelry, brick and bracks… the store is fairly new but each time I go there it is a hit and miss. You may find a Dean and Delucca cookbook discarded from one of the volunteers(purchased for $ 1) and come across some amazing lamps from the seventies, or even an old clothes washing board that for a year nobody seems to want – maybe it’s the outrageous price tag attached? The shop is usually a miss for me, because I am one for the hunt of pieces that scream few-of-a-kind that I necessarily do not need or just want to have so nobody else gets their gritty hands on it. I applaud the efforts of the store as it financially gifts to many locals charities(you’ll see the chalkboard behind the register stating which charities they donate) and the great help of the volunteers workers. However, at times, with most thrift stores today, I’m okay with not needing that dress shirt nobody wants for $ 10. even more, they have things like men’s work boots priced at $ 40(what non-gay guy will buy these?), a cracked ceramic medium sized bowl for $ 8(really? it’s not even usable except for storing fruit maybe) and a men’s raincoat labeled burberry(what i assume and firm on saying to be a faux because the buttons are not inscribed burberry and the tag inside has been removed) for $ 40. as previously stated, i adore the store’s efforts in donating over $ 200k to local charities, but i believe more merchandise and donations could be made if they would just drop the prices on some of their items. it seems ridiculous i could come back in two months and the same items are in the store, but just in a different location. i applaud the efforts but am continually disappointed in making a thrift store a front for your flea market finds.
