Yellow Tag Thrift Store & Donation Center — Attraction in Green Brook Township

I use to come here when it was salvation army and then returned multiple times after it became Yellow Tag Thrift Store. And each return trip i realized the prices increased substantially. $25-50 dresses. $10-25 shirts and pants and skirts that arent worth it. The cheaper clothes $9 and below usually have stains and holes. They are basically charging retail prices now for their clothes. A few are brand new with tags still on but also have defects like stains or small holes or ripped buttons yet they still charge a retail price. This use to be my spot for clothes shopping but im not coming here anymore when i can buy good quality in a retail store for the same price and have an option to return the items if i need to. They do have a nice selection of books but the area is a bit messy. They have different categories but the books are just stacked and scattered. I included one picture but theres 3 sections and about 4-5 shelves worth of books for a great price. They also have lots of knick knacks and dishes for a decent price. Furniture is really expensive for what it is. The staff is nice and helpful. Although they use to let people use the bathrooms but now its always "out of order." There were a few times i didnt have to use it but asked anyway just to see what they would say but it's always "out of order" to customers. Decent place to check out but definitely not "thrift store" prices for clothes...

Overpriced. Disrespectful. Rude. Greedy. Discrimination.

This place is overpriced for a "thrift store", people go to thrift stores to get this that are used for a lower price, not to pay full price for used things. Overpriced.

This place will not honor their own prices if you want an item they will overcharge you or refuse to sell you the item on discount day because they want more money for it. Greedy.

They will give you attitude and be disrespectful towards you if you ask them questions regarding their unfair and unethical policies.

They will not allow you to purchase an item on a discounted day because they want more money for it. For example if there is an item for $500 and you go on a Tuesday (Senior Discount) they will not allow you to purchase it for this discount because you wanted and seen it on a day that it was not discounted.

They discriminate towards people based on if they want to give you a product for the discounted price on a select day or if they don't want to honor it.

I do not recommend you visiting, buying or donating to this place.

I filed a complaint with the NJ Department of...

Pros: The store is well-organized and offers a wide variety of items, including clothing, electronics, furniture, and more.

Cons: The pricing for a second-hand store feels high, even with their “deal of the day” discounts. For example, an item priced at $25 with a 50% discount still doesn’t feel justified when it’s not a luxury or high-quality piece. I had read similar comments in other reviews but decided to visit and see for myself since I was driving by.

While I’m not overly picky about pricing, I do think there’s an expectation that thrift stores provide more budget-friendly options. There were a handful of reasonably priced items, but unfortunately, they weren’t my style. For instance, if I’m paying $20-30 for a used sweater in average condition, I’d rather shop at Marshall’s or wait for a sale at a different retail store.

This was my first visit, and while I appreciated the variety, it’s likely my last. I’d prefer to shop where I can find better deals rather than pay very close to retail prices for used and...
