They carry decent inventory & some prices are very reasonable however, there are times where I wonder how they came up with the price they did for some items as it seems unreasonably high for what it is. I also noticed that on their dollar days that there is significantly less dollar tagged items on the floor as compared to last year. I believe they have employees pulling items before store opening on Mondays as I went on Monday & got in right as the doors were unlocked & mainly saw every color tag BUT the color tag for the $1 price. Unfortunately it seems thrift stores are jumping on the greed bandwagon of most corporations. Just another place taking advantage of the lower income people for profit. They get donations for free, then mark stuff up just to mark it down on certain days & make you think you're getting a deal. When in reality, if they priced things reasonably everyday that would be the most helpful to lower income people. I also shouldn't have to pay more for a name brand item that's used than I do for any other used item. Like I said, they get these items DONATED. I used to enjoy going on Mondays, but won't bother wasting my time & gas to drive across town to find 2 or 3 $1 items. They are still better than Goodwill, but probably not for much longer.

Edit: Today I went in & came across an item that was blue tagged as a new to you item. However, if you look at the photo you can see part of the orange tag attachment that was previously on the item. They are pulling the old tags off & tagging older inventory as new so there are less items available on their discount days. This is deceptive business practices. Shame on you...

Stuff is overpriced here. The store is large, but I didn’t see many good deals. Also, I felt I was treated poorly here. I am a Muslim woman who covers her face in a veil. When I went to the counter to check out, the cashier didn’t greet me or smile, she looked at me like I was an alien and just stared at her. I tried to be overly friendly but she wasn’t having it. I don’t understand how you can run a business which is open to the public, not just Christian people, and treat your customers so poorly. To judge me based on my appearance yet you have no clue who I am as a person is just sad, frankly. I won’t be returning to this store due to the treatment I received from that young girl and an older woman who was putting clothing away in the back. She also gave me a rude and condescending look, scowling at me and my young daughters. In this day and age you should try to have a bigger heart and respect others, no matter what their differences may be. Also, the mother of Jesus (peace be upon him) dressed in a similar fashion to me. Ironic how some Christians hate us Muslim women and judge us for clothing such...

I shop there every week & love it, w/never a problem. Barbie Dolls [new in box] is what I always look for 1st & they had 2 of her this wk that I don't have. I was so excited & bought them, but they hold them back 4u till your ready to check-out & pay [not allowed 2 be in ur cart] I went 2 pick them up 10-min later @ chk-out & here 1 was sold right out from under me!! [Hula Hoop Barbie] That was so unfair & never happened B4!?! Why can't I just put them in my cart if this can be done now, grrr?? This soo upset me & I just left my cart behind & walked out! From now on I'll have 2 pay right on the spot 4 Barbies or anything I want that's behind counter, take out 2 my car, then back in 2 continue shopping?!? Why tell customer it's being 'Held 4U' & put on side shelf, when someone else who sees it there & ready 2 chk-out, pay & leave, it can now be sold right out from under YOU!! [Don't Trust Them TO HOLD IT FOR YOU Anymore!! That's crazy & soo mean!! BEWARE of THIS...
