Father Joe's Villages Thrift Store & Donation Center

Great selection of gently used items. Prices here are some of the best thrift store prices I've seen. Store was very organized and had a lot of low cost furniture options. Items go to those in need, or are sold and money donated to help Father Joe's shelters.

Always find great deals. From bedroom furniture to clothes to paperbacks. I never know what I'll find. Today was "Star Trek" day.

This shop is a true grab bag. Unlike most thrift shops, there doesn't seem to be any filtering as to what makes it to the sales floor. And that's a good thing. Most shops have employees who "Stash all the good stuff" before it ever makes it into the store. But at this place I've found some real gems, and the employees are the best around. They are helpful and willing to go out of their way for people who need a little extra help. Sometimes their pricing can be a little perplexing. I've seen used items with prices on them at almost double what new retail would be, and other times I've come across stuff that is a small fraction of the items true value. But that's all part of the thrift shop experience I guess.

This is a small thrift store with parking along the side. They have an excellent selection of glassware, which is far more reasonably priced than the Goodwill. I witnessed staff, Michael, being courteous to patrons and he was friendly, pleasant and helpful when I checked out. They offer daily discounts on items and the proceeds go toward helping the homeless in San Diego. In sum I'd definitely go back to this place if I were in the area.
