Community Thrift

Thought this place was good based on what my friends said a couple years ago. I went in there last week and its way below average. Salvation Army and Goodwill are 10x better and cheaper. Don’t waste your time.

I do not mind a little grunge for deals, but this place is too dirty and somewhat scary. Overpriced. I feel like this is a place pickpocketing happens. Furniture belongs in the dump. It is not even worth painting the fake wood for the price they charge.
Any luxury items are probably knockoffs. Really who is gonna donate a $ 1000 – 5000 handbag here? They would take it to a Winter Park designer thrift store where the right amount gets donated to charity or sell it themselves. I never understand when thrift stores charge an absurd amount for things that look fake or that are designer but 20 years old.

At one time this was the place to go for good quality item at reasonable prices. For some reason a manager/​owner took over and prices went up often times surpassing the price at retail stores. I can’t understand how «donated items’ can be so overpriced to the point of being ridiculous. Get real and start getting the prices where they belong so the ones who can’t afford high price stores have a place to shop. Being a supposed AM VETS there is no prices different for the VETERANS– WHY??? I have seen furniture priced at close to $ 1,000.00 which brings me to another question, HOW MUCH DOES THIS PLACE ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO VETERANS???

Dirty and overpriced items. Most of the electronics are for parts only (Not working).

One of the best thrift stores I’ve been too. Very huge warehouse. Spent almost two hours going through the the Isle. Bring cash!

Excellent thrift store with a wide range of items. Super busy! But very muxh worth it

Very organized and clean. They have nice items but it is overpriced. It is cash only and the line is always very long.

Keep this in mind: you get what you pay for. You’ll find some low prices here, but it’s reflected in the upkeep of the store. I’d be lying if I said the place couldn’t use a good swabbing with some Fabuloso.
That said, if you can get past the ridiculous dressing room policy you can make some great finds here. Remember to bring plenty of cash unless you want to use their ATM.

Disgusting. Know what you’re getting into by stopping here. Items were dirty and unorganized and the atmosphere can be described as «generally rude with a touch of crazy.» I love thrift stores, garage sales, goodwill and the like and this one was definitely sub-​par. Beware…

CASH ONLY! But they do have an ATM in the store. I’d love to talk to the person that decides the prices. There’s no rhyme nor reason how things are priced. As others have mentioned, they have a ridiculous policy for their fitting rooms. I’ve left clothes behind when I couldn’t try them on! And they have a no refund, no return, no exchange policy! Who would buy clothing under those conditions?

This place is jam packed with lots of items. Sure to find something you’ll like if you don’t mind rummaging through a million items and people! I will be back to visit! Nice unique and vintage items!

This thrift store can be hit or miss for me. I like to come here to look for specific items when I get inspired by a DIY project. But, like others have mentioned, the pricing can be inconsistent.
Perhaps my expectations for thrift store prices are unreasonably low, but I don’t understand how they can get away with charging over $ 100 for a piece of well-​worn, damaged furniture. I believe on Wednesdays they offer a huge percentage off everything in the store so I’m going to attempt to make my purchase then (if the piece I want is still there) but I experienced a bit of sticker shock when I found a dresser for $ 121. It was severely scratched and needs a lot of elbow grease to get it back in shape. I would be better off buying a new piece at Target.
It’s very busy and crowded on Saturdays so I often had to wade through other people’s rowdy children. I would recommend either coming as soon as they open or avoiding Saturdays all together.
Their jewelry is also inconsistently priced with some items costing as much as $ 20+ I managed to find a piece that was on sale due to the sticker color.
I think you can find some true treasures if you enjoy bargain hunting and deciphering their sales but if you’re strapped for time and looking for consistency Goodwill is probably your best bet.

Well it used to be a 5 out of 5 but not anymore! The prices are through the roof high. Sometimes even higher then they sell new in the store! Its a thrift store and some shoes are $ 50 or higher, clothes like skirts and tops $ 8 up for used? I saw a pair of sketcher sneakers for $ 30 yesterday that are at JC Pennys on sale bread new for less! Sure I know they go by the brand name but even in a thrift store if clothing is used there is no reason for the terrible prices. A wooden beat up table $ 100, a tupperware snack set $ 25. A picture $ 14. It never used to be this bad. I think greed had stepped in. I don’t mind paying for what an item is worth but certainly this thrift store is going downhill. They cleaned it up better but that ruins it with the prices. You can’t try on anything under $ 5 so once you buy it is yours. That goes for anything! If you buy a used computer for $ 100 and it doesn’t work, to bad so sad? Why would you even buy one? I loved it here before and spent loads of money. Always filled my cart. But now the fun is gone. I may only find one or two things now. :(

This place was great but totally overwhelming because I went on a Saturday when everything is an additional 10% off! They were PACKED. Great selection though and a lot to look at. Everything is priced differently, not standardized like Goodwill or Salvation Army, by item type. Some of it is over priced because if this but you can also find some great deals if you’re looking. Definitely a fun place to hunt for bargains if you have the time and don’t mind dealing with the crowd. I recommend wearing clothes you can try stuff on over (like leggings and a tank) as they only have two dressing rooms and only allow you to try on things priced at $ 5 or more.

This place is nuts. There is so much you suddenly «need» as soon as you come in, you have to definitely come in with an idea of what you actually need.
Their clothes selection is huge, their jewelry wasn’t that impressive, actually there was nothing to impressive in their scratched up cases, they did have some great toys, their record and book selection was also quite small. They had a ton of appliances, and the usual nick-​nacks you find at most thrift store.
The last time we went in we saw some guy purchase a large Tumi suitcase that retails in the thousands! So keep in mined you do find some treasures here.

It’s the place I go to to do what we all do, yet we don’t dare admit. We go to a thrift store, drop off a bag full of shirts, then wander in to see if there’s anything cool in there that we can’t live without. I’ve had a lot of fun rooting around here, and the sales staff up front can’t be friendlier. I’ve had good luck with kitchen items, shirts, and even lucked out with an art deco side table that I’ve had fun restoring.

Bring cash! I’ve actually found some great deals, especially during sales. Their tagging is a bit complicated, but the clothing and accessories are well organized. Housewares are kind of hit and miss, and I have to agree about being overpriced in that department.
Overall, though, it’s a good stop for thrifting.

This was my first time visiting this location. It was a hot Saturday afternoon and this place was jammed pack! Like no shopping carts jammed packed. I love vintage jewelry do I started at this section first. Great selection of jewelry. The lady places a basket in front of me and places all of my selections in the basket. She was helping many people while I was looking. She took the basket with her every time she left to assist another shopper. It was odd but maybe they have a problem with theft. Once finished she gave me a ticket and placed another ticket in my basket. When finished shopping your basket await you at the check out counter.
I decided to look around and stumbled upon some great finds. Excited, I head straight to the fitting room. Only two fitting rooms located behind the jewelry counter. The lady says to me we have a dressing room policy…3 items only and $ 4.94 and up to try an item on. I know I looked crazy because she asked if I wanted to speak to a manager. If an item is below this price, you have to try it on in the middle of the store and they only have two mirrors in the whole joint.
I was a little turned off by this but I walked over and waited my turn to utilize one of the two mirrors. I could only try on my tops and ended getting all of them. I’m still bummed about the leopard skirt I left behind. Next time I will wear tights so I can try on bottoms with ease. I purchased a ton of earrings and four tops for 29.98. Some items were a little higher than I wanted to pay but so cute… I couldn’t refuse.
Bottom line: bring cash, be prepared to dig, try on clothes in the open and be brushed up against by all the shoppers.

Huge selection! Yes, they only take cash, and yes, I agree a lot of the prices are too high. I did find a really nice tall bar stool for $ 34 and this was easily a $ 125 bar stool. My friend found some nice shirts for $ 1.99 which had never been worn. One drawback about clothes is you can’t try them on unless they are priced over $ 4.99 ?? what is that about!!! He bought 2 pairs of shorts that were mis-​marked on the size, and they were too small. He couldn’t try them on because they were not «expensive» enough. Seems to me if you have dressing rooms and no line, what does it hurt? He tried on a few things, easily could have tried on the two shorts. Oh well, he bought them and then discovered they were a size smaller than they were marked (should have checked that!) and were a little snug!
I would go back, some things are priced ok, a lot is not.

Whooaaaaa … Upon entering, the smell of old people clothes is overwhelming! The store is HUGE! I was, however, immediately stopped like a dear in headlights in awe of the nice array & selection of vintage jewelry. Then, to my dismay, I was quickly disenchanted due to the extreme scratched up display cases, which I couldn’t even focus hard enough to see the jewelry. Then, the prices: WAYYyyyyy Overpriced! Some of the jewelry, I could get for $ 4 with free shipping on eBay were priced in the $ 20’s+. Big SAD FACE, see =0(
They had a great large arrangement of purses. Sadly, extremely overpriced again. What was even more disappointing it seemed that not even decent designers like Liz Claiborne were in the mix. Had really crappy fake Louis Vuitton’s that were in poor condition. I love purses. There were tons here. I didn’t find 1 I couldn’t live without. No luck in the purse dept., but you might.
The Tan Tagged merchandise are on sale. I’d figure it would be half off like Goodwill. No. They have a more complicated system that I can’t even remember it. I’d have to go back and look at the sign again. The most I think you can get is 33% off depending on the amount you spend on Tan Tagged merchandise. Another BIG SAD FACE =0(
Women’s Clothes: Surprisingly there is a lot of well organized racks by size. YAY!!! I found the majority to be extremely overpriced again, especially the dresses = ridiculously overpriced. I’ve been to consignment shops and bought better dresses for less. However, I’m one of those people who like to hunt. I DID actually end up finding me a very nice Carole Little skirt I couldn’t live without. The swing skirt was a white base, though a bit less white now, with eyelets & gorgeous black embroidery all over it. I was shocked because it was sooo beautiful & in my size. I got it for $ 6.83 + Tax. It was actually in the smalls, I can’t wear a small. I just happened to see the pattern peak out at me & I just looked & the «Yays!» began. So, someone probably was hiding it or changed their mind & put it in the wrong size.
None of my other 3 friend’s bought or found anything. Bottom line: This is the MOST OVERPRICED Thrift Store I’ve ever been to. But, you might find something you can’t live without, if you’re willing to spend 2 hours or so «picking» + «hunting».
