I do like this store, but man the prices. It’s so disappointing to see how prices have increased to a crazy level. Way over price, a lot of the prices are almost over what it would cost at a store brand new or at a brand new price. Thrift stores are supposed to have low prices to help people that can not afford full priced items. It’s so sad a donated NorthFace sweatshirt priced for $40.00, seriously! I wouldn’t even think to pay that price with even half off. I noticed items priced higher than bought brand new. I walked down the shirt isle and over and over agin I saw tons of items I liked and would have boughten but the price was not what you would expect for a thrift store. Consignment sure, but not at a donation thrift store. I totally understand lights need to be turned on and bills have to be paid along with employees. But let’s think about this for a minute, since everything is donated there’s no loss in revenue only gained 100%. People tend to gravitate to good prices and also buy more with a (what a thrift store price should be). More items would be bought and then more item can be restocked from the overly stocked back room. People love a good deal. It kinda greedy. So much stuff piled up in the back room, just waiting to be put on the floor after the 35.00 pair of jeans are bought and of the 40.00 NorthFace sweatshirt. I haven’t been in the store for a long time and there were jeans that I saw a long time ago still on the rack. Because the price of 35.00, $40.00 is insane for a sweatshirt that is outdated but has the brand name. It will be awhile for me to return, I simply cannot afford those prices and I might as well go buy it brand new if I want it that bad. Ok my...

My ten year old and I took a day trip to visit this store the other day. We were excited to see 50% off on allot of items…disappointed to see the catch to that though…allot of the prices are ridiculous…. Also, no real consistency with the pricing. Anyway, we went to check out and my daughter had planned on getting a pair of Pumas that was originally marked at $12 (so, we’d pay $6). Unfortunately, my daughter had lost the tag, making the one lady get kind of snarky about it. My daughter tried to go and find it, but had no luck. We both knew the price for sure (plus there were many other shoes marked similarly)…that wasn’t good enough for them. The one other lady remarked that they would’ve been marked “more like $25”, just totally discrediting us (especially my ten year old). After that, I told them I didn’t want the shoes. But yeah, to sum it up… Was not impressed with the inconsistent (and many times) high pricing and some of the staff. They’re redeemed by some decent prices and...

This is my favorite thrift store in the area. They have I think everything and probably at least 5 of everything. It is pricey like $10 for most items but it’s going towards a good cause. I love the boys and girls club. So important especially in a small town. I like to buy used whenever I can. I found a really pretty vase, a new Dolly Parton cake server with a butterfly on it, a blue glass dish for organizing my bathroom, a book, a cute round wood frame, and a hand mixer for a total of $31.28. There were a few things that I didn’t get because I thought $10 was too much for them so it just depends on the item. They do have clearance sections for items that have been around too long it seems to help move inventory. They have tons of frames and wall art and some antiques, lots of...
