America's Thrift Stores & Donation Center — Attraction in Prattville

Update September 2024: While their selection is still rather good, their prices have skyrocketed in just the past year and a half, and there's no signs of it slowing down. Some of the prices they charge (especially for some electronics and furniture) is downright outrageous.

These items were donated to the store, and yet, I've seen instances of USED items being sold for close to if not EXCEEDING their retail price for a new one, or prices just being overly high for items in rather poor and worn out condition. There are also weird inconsistencies in their pricing too. I once found 5 pairs of identical jeans (same size, brand, style, and condition) but each one priced differently, as low as $3 to as high as $15.

You really have to know what you're shopping for now to determine if the price is fair or a rip-off, which is why I've dropped my review to 2 stars from 4 stars.

Original Review (2019): Decent selection and very competitive prices. One of the most affordable thrift stores in the area, with daily sales and discounts offered for military, seniors, and college students. Highly...

I started going to this thrift store back when they first opened, back when they had signs hanging and everyday a different color was a certain percentage off. My daughter wore nothing but name brand clothes (which doesn’t matter by any means) for way less than I would have even paid at Walmart. I bought so much from there. I bought wood things to refinish. I got sick and hadn’t been in a couple years and I am absolutely appalled at how much they have inflated the prices. I saw a dress for more than I would have even paid in the store. And let’s don’t get started on the dirty shoes they have over priced. And always only one cashier. Do better. Bring back the signs every day with the discounts and stop jacking the prices up, we’re all already paying enough for...

This thrift store is huge but don’t let that fool you, the inventory is stocked due to the overpricing of majority of items, I saw a Hollister jacket for 19.99, this is a thrift store! Not a consignment or Plato’s closet, so why are items that are donated for FREE being priced so high? I found two of the same exact shirts same brand same style with two different price tags on each shirt, they can’t even be consistent on their pricing. I will stick to goodwill as they have better tag deals and their pricing is consistent. It sucks because I really did like a lot of what they had but I can’t justify that it was donated and I’m getting charged basically retail price for an item. We are all already struggling in this...
