The people that work in this place are the BEST! Sweet, kind and helpful. Im a frequent flyer and spend quite a bit here. I went today and was so disappointed.. Evidently someone is attempting to change this store from a thrift store to a "vintage" store. (The little white hanging tags, completely different from any other pricing?) Prices are now ridiculous. 35.00 for a lamp? Huh? Broken bottles and chipped vases for 5.00? You can buy new ones for less. Please STOP whoever is making these changes. Your merchandise is free to you. There is no inflation, in free!! So NO reason for these prices to change so drasticly. I buy things to give away to people that have a NEED , but sadly..... not much any more. It seems greed, not need, is winning, again.

This store is my favorite. Everything is organized, clean, and affordable. Their organization helps people and pets in need and the staff is always friendly and ready to assist. When I was disabled and homeless they helped me find a great walker and local services. Check out their vintage decorations.

The saying, "One persons trash is another persons treasure" holds true for this place. This is THE PLACE TO SHOP for anyone looking for bargains and interesting, unique finds. The merchandise changes daily, depending on what donations are dropped off. Their profits support the local community. They need a bigger place to expand into and also to make the shop more accessible to the handicapped. The staff is currently collecting signatures to show community support for the expansion they can take back to their board. Clothes, bedding, furniture, kitchen items, glassware, pictures/frames, jewelry, shoes, knickknacks, books, puzzles/games, crafts, tools, etc. I check back 1- 2x/week. Even if I don't find something, it's a fun outing.

Found great Deal on clay pot to cook chicken or beef and pork roast in. A $60.00 item retail new. I picked up for $2.50 along with some Saluki clothing and three cooking books for 50 cents each. That I would have spent $90.00 to acquire at a book store. If your a Bears Fan then check out this youth large Bears winter jacket. Also kitchen items
