Pricing on clothes went up drastically. More than 200%. Not the store it was before. For a better value. Go to Good Will.

My favorite thrift store! Clean and organized! Super friendly atmosphere! Proceeds actually go towards something as well unlike Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Not a huge selection of clothing but they have a lot of very cute housewares. Everything is reasonably priced and most importantly, proceeds go to health screening and support for the LGBTQ community. Employees are super friendly and helpful.

We got extraordinarily lucky going on on the one day there was a 30% any furniture purchases over $50 and scored big on a cabinet that now holds my board games and wood art. Definitely coming back!
