The Salvation Army

Always lots of great finds if you are willing to dig dig dig! Great shoes always! Some things can be overpriced at times. So it’s sometimes worth the wait to 50% Wednesdays. Staff is not friendly not mean. Just there. Overall it’s one of my «stop by once a week places.»

Very very neat store, everything is color coded and hung up beautifully. I could complain about the contents of the store but considering that its inventory consists of donations from the locals and surrounding areas, you really shouldn’t expect much in terms of high end or recent fashionable items. But they have an extensive clothing selection. The clothing prices are reasonable, but I question some of the other ‘departments’. For example — Used thin hand towel are $ 2 – 3. You can get a new one from Target or Marshall’s for $ 3! They have an unimpressive furniture/​home goods section; don’t come here if you are looking for something for a DIY HGTV project, they have a Christmas section, glassware and a toy section. Wednesday is Family Day (all clothing is 50% off).

I realize this is a non-​profit, and they run it that way. I’ve counted 20 people standing in line, all the way to the back of the store, and neither the cashiers or management do anything different. The cashiers will actually answer the phone and talk with someone with 20 people in line. Unbelievably dysfunctional, I’ve walked out several times rather than the agony of waiting in line.
