Alliance for African Assistance: Safari Seconds Thrift Store

Wade Phillips

It has never looked better. More than 25% increase on space. Furniture added. Bought as much as I could carry and amount spent was $10 bucks!!

I have searched far and wide and haven't found better prices than here. I have purchased; bike helmets, music, chairs, clothes, fans, and more from here at amazing prices. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a large selection of a lot of things!

I visited this store and at first thought it was amazing. Unfortunately, the cashier was dishonest and changed prices of things at the register. I dug thru piles of really gross and unwashed dishes in search of ones that fit my china collection. That’s part of the work and excitement of going to junky thrift stores to hunt for treasures. I was so excited to find some beauties at the bottom of a dusty, dirty stack marked $1/plate. At checkout, I heard the cashier tell her assistant to check the marks on the plates. When one was made in France she said that one was now $10 instead of $1. If you want to sort out the more valuable items and price them accordingly, that’s a great idea! But you can’t reprice items at check out. This item was NOT misplaced from the “boutique” area of the store, either. It was greasy, dusty, and has a sticky brown liquid partially dried on it when I found it. It clearly came into the store dirty and no work was done to clean it up or value it until I identified it as worth buying. I had foolishly allowed the cashier to ring up my first basket of items while I finished shopping and she repriced items without telling me, marking some up from $1 to $4, making something unmarked and worth about $2 or $3 instead $10 because it was in my basket. If all dishes are $1 unless marked, they have to be $1 unless marked. This was a bait and switch. To make things worse, she tallied items and did not give me an itemized receipt so I honestly have no idea what I paid for what. If you choose to shop here, watch your transaction like a hawk. Ask what each unmarked item costs before agreeing to it. Ensure prices are not increased at the register. This is not a good way to do business, and it makes me wonder how much it actually benefits a charity.

This place is great! I love buying books and toys here. You can tell they are hard at work re-organizing things. So I guess the other reviews were correct about the unorganized isle. But in the last month or two they’ve been organizing. Lots to go, but looking better. GREAT prices you just can’t beat, seeing as how other KNOWN thrift stores are waaaaaat to expensive now a days. This is a true thrift store. They have lots of sales too. They’re employees are super nice. So, sometimes you gotta search for stuff- other areas are organized now. But it’s fun.
