St Vincent de Paul Thrift Store — Local services in Jacksonville Beach

I love thrifting, so I was excited to try this place out. I went once before after work, but realised they close at 4... Weird hours. I made it in today, and when I walked in it smelled like dirt, and stale cigarettes. The place was unorganized, with piles of stuff in corners. It was gross and i didn't want to touch anything. I did however manage to find a belt I liked. That was about it. When i got to the counter the two old ladies behind it were socializing and ignored me for several minutes, then finally looked at me amd said is this all your getting? I confirmed, yes. And they said we can't take your card for anything less than $5. So I asked, how much was the belt? She said $2.15. I looked in my wallet and realised all I had was a $1.

They did have some stuff in there priced a little higher but I believe they also did some consignment-so that makes a little sense. Check them out, you won’t be...

The store is clean and well organized. We visited several thrift stores today and bought a ton of household items. We had to go back and unload an go again we bought so much, and we’re driving a Denali! This is the only store where we were not greeted or spoken to at all the entire time we were there. It’s small with not much selection. Prices on household stuff was much higher than the other stores we shopped at. The few items they had were nice enough, just not going to pay a hundred for a chair I’d seen for forty five. We didn’t look at clothing, maybe it’s a good place...
