Auntie Helen's

I found some plates that I wanted and there were no prices on them. The manager starts looking them up on various websites and prices them at retail. He said they were 1/3 the online price based on his research. I could not find where he came up with the prices he said he found. Very nice stuff but way overpriced. I have a problem with stores pricing items after you say you want them. A good charity to support but if I want to donate, I give money directly.

I think it's great that the organization is feeding people who need it. The store however leaves a lot to be desired. I don't go to thrift stores very often. Going to this one leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The things are not all marked before they put them out so essentially as a customer you don't know what to expect or where you stand. It's a cumbersome experience. It's like walking through mud.

I never knew what love was until I experienced the love of Auntie Helen. Auntie Helen feeds San Diegans, clothes the disabled and contributes to the cities thrift culture with affordable pricing that funds all of the outreach. It’s a very fun and vibrant shopping experience with dedicated and caring staff and volunteers. You can tell the management is on board with the mission, reportedly volunteering time for the organization as well. Without this little place, San Diego would be one step backwards.

One gentlemen was very kind and the other not so kind. One of two cannisters I had bought had old cookies in it that were so old, they were powdery. The not so nice gentlemen dumped out those cookies, but didn't bother to clean out the mess left by those old cookies and just put it in a bag. I took the cannister out of the bag, and cleaned it out myself and that gentleman told me to please move you're in the way ... Not cool telling that to a senior disabled woman, who uses an Upright Walker for mobility... Other than that, I would have given this secondhand store a higher rating * * * UPDATE * * * Oh WOW, I just got an unexpected but delightful response from the Owner!🤗 That definitely notched up my review rating and gained my even more utmost respect for this establishment and the charitable work they do in the community. Thank you so much, kind Sir!👍💜🕊️
