I could rant here for ever and a day. I don’t believe a single person made eye contact w/ me, much less a “hello”. The 1 cashier was on her phone and couldn’t seem to register I had asked a question…. When I became obnoxious she looks up and says.. I’m not sure. Going back to her phone. *There are things that happen I. Life but… come on! Pricing… I found MANY items priced above what you can get them for (currently) brand new. I suppose it’s possible SOMETHING was priced at a bargain price… I couldn’t find it.

I feel like many thrift stores are attempting to $$ items at the $ you might find them on Etsy, Postmark, etc. 1. Just because it’s priced at - doesn’t mean it’s selling for that $. Almost all of those “resale” sites allow you to haggle or make offers. Another important thing to note… those are people who generally purchased the item, not having it donated to them. But even the items you find there have been cleaned up, minor repairs done, and there is a return policy that states… the buy is right as a safe net.

I know it’s hard to be 100% sure every item is in working order when you take in donations. BUT!!! If you’re going to ask the $$ point you are… that’s not my fault! I thought that a Christian organization would be a bit more humble… offer folks that are putting in the grind a little break. NOPE! Wonder where the owners live? What they drive? What clothes their kids wear. Bet it’s not in the Hood,a beater, or...

I am torn between a 3 or 4 star review for this thrift store solely based on their PRICES! I can’t fault their staff (always very friendly and helpful) or the quantity/quality of their second hand goods….but the prices consistently irk me. I think they price things based on what they think something SHOULD be worth because of its brand name, whether they deem it to be a genuine “antique”, etc, and my opinion is they forget at times that these items are USED/SECOND HAND/someone else’s cast aways. I really don’t want to find a used item at a thrift store priced HIGHER than I could find it brand new in the store it’s originally from, but I have found several items that I can buy brand new at Target for less than $10 priced at $12.99 at Blessings Abound, or something with the Dollar Store tag of $1 on it priced at $2.99, etc. I have found the pricing to be WILDLY inconsistent as well—one plate will be $8 (which is already too much for a USED chipped plate but it’s “antique” so…ok) and another one is $25….why? The staff could only tell me because of the brand…SMH All that to say, if you, like me, are looking for THRIFT store prices you need to come on the sale days here and be picky or you’ll be over paying for second hand goods. They do have one of the largest (if not THE largest) selection of used furniture and helpful staff to get it in your vehicle for you, which we have...
