After I bombed at Big Lots right down the street, I went into Victory Thrift - in a hurry, on Saturday, right before their close. Was looking for CD binders - the big Trapper Keeper style. Oddly enough, it seems the only person that still keeps CDs and DVDs is me, lol.
Anyhoo, this place was an enormous surprise. No CD holder, although they had a number of nice notebooks and office materials, including a huge box of lamination pouches. But the score here - for me, anyway - was the Children's section and Women's clothes. Very, very good clothing brands for wardrobe staples and a surprisingly decent selection of plus and size 0s (I was looking for both). The kids' area has a number of really good toys, games, stuffies, balls, you name it.
But I gotta tell you - I'm a nut for presentation. This store should receive a 5 of 5 for that, as well. Each piece of clothing is beautifully hung on its hanger and placed in an appropriate section of the large racks. This isn't your madcap volume store, where you can count on finding your major scores hidden in the wrong areas, where another shopper had hidden it, hoping it wouldn't be found. Nope. Victory runs a lovely shop. The children's area reminds me of a toy store I went to as a kid - whoever set up that section has quite a bit of talent.
I was surprised by how nice Victory is - product, presentation, cleanliness. Wait. Did I mention the prices? Ultra-beyond fair. Incredibly good deals. I bought my friend's size 0 sweaters (3), hoodies (2), leggings (2) and jacket (1) for what? $14?...

A very nice girl named Michelle saw I was broke down and came out and saw me pouring water in it and I didn't know that it was coming out as fast as pouring it in..and she saw I was handicapped. She took it upon herself to climb under my truck. .did I mention it was pouring rain..well she saw that my lower radiator hose had come off.well she got filthy dirty climbing under my truck and somehow put the hose back on and helped me put water back in it and got me on my way..oh yea and the poor girl got soaking wet and just filthy dirty..and all this to help a total stranger. .so I say ur co.should thank their lucky stars they have someone with the compassion she has so in closing. My sister has a thrift store just 3 miles u the same road..but take a guess where I'm going first to find stuff I need see I'm a disabled veteran. So every penny counts..so thank y'all Sooooooo much...I can't really thank u enough....
