Salvation Army

I love this store, I always find something. Lots of furnitures, bed sheets, blankets, comforters, crockpots, boardgames, clothes, utensils, pots and pans, dishes, ties, hats, the works. If you want new-​ish clothes I’d also check Trader K but here you can find more variety of things. Keep things out of the waste stream too which is great.
I would please like them to sort their clothing by size, and not by color, like most other thrifty stores do!

So we had this pretty old recliner chair we didn’t need anymore and deiced we’ll donate it. We dropped it off by the back entrance and went through the front entrance to see if there is anything interesting inside. To my disgust and dismay I saw somebody putting our recliner with the rest of the inventory, not more than 2 mins. after we dropped it off.
Well what’s wrong with that you may ask? It had a sticker stating it was cleaned and disinfected. Right. In 1 min? Gross.

Clean, large and cheap.
The selection is hit or miss depending on what you’re looking for.

This is a better-​than-​average Salvation Army — and certainly the cleanest one I’ve ever visited. And you know that smell? Dust mixed with old? Well, it’s pretty muted here — a nice bonus for those of us who care about our olfactory senses.
I will admit, after hearing my brother’s stories of going in and landing $ 400 suits for $ 2.99, my expectations were a little too high. There are amazing deals to be had, but you still have to wade through endless racks of clothes. Everything is sorted by color, and not by size, making for a long search to find something that fits.
Almost all of the clothes are priced from 99-​cents to $ 3.99. The coats and formalwear are a little more. But all in all, extremely affordable.
My one complain? The furniture is TERRIBLE. Desks with missing drawers, dressers that are split down the side — and everything is priced so ridiculously high. I have pulled stuff out of dumpsters that has looked better than some of the things they are charging $ 80 for.
All in all, it’s a great place to go for clothes. But stick to craigslist for any furniture needs.

Meh, they have a great selection of stuff there’s no doubt about that plus the store is very clean and well taken care of, just some of the people who work there are kind of sketchy so it makes one a bit uneasy browsing there. The staff is mostly friendly particularly the loading staff people/​the people who work at the donation drop off spot, as they helped me 100% after I bought a bookcase and needed to fit it into my car. Prices on select items are a little outrageous on some things like furniture (30 – 100 $) and electronics such as blender and lamps (25 – 40 $) a lot of junk, it isn’t organized real well in the kitchen, books, records and magazines sections at all so be prepared to spend time sifting thru things
