I was in the area yesterday and drove by this thrift store so I went in for the first time. Needless to say I definitely won’t be returning. I don’t think I have ever actually been to a thrift store that isn’t upscale consignment, with prices like these. Now I completely understand a business is there to operate by making money. But when you are receiving every item for free via donation, I just cannot wrap my mind over charging these kinds of prices. Walked out with nothing as the things that caught my eye were; a worn out bucket hat: $12, a maxi dress: $20, fishing shirt for my husband: $15…. They have a new slow cooker for sale for $95?! They have what they call “boutique” sections where they charge $6-$20 (think Nike and target brands) for what they consider “name brand” clothing. Which basically are the only clothes in wearable conditions. They have a separate area with downright rags, sold at thrift store prices. I can just picture the people that run this place rummaging through tags and sticking these boutique price tags on USED clothing , I mean at that point this is just pure greed. One star for clothing separated by size.

This place is amazing. Everything about it is awesome and I highly recommend you support this store. I got a pretty good deal on a dress and jacket! Only critic is the smell. Moth balls? Musty attic? Not sure, but it could use some odor remover.
