Abundance Shop

Excellent old school thrift store. Look elsewhere for collectible «boutique» pricing, they realize they’re selling donated stock and price accordingly. Always plenty of interesting stuff, good turnover & as mentioned exceptional prices, particularly given the industry-​wide infatuation with ‘internet pricing’ driven by made up numbers on Ebay (free advice to all thrift store pricers– search ‘completed listings’ to see how few of those ‘valuable vintage items’ ever sell).

the Abundance shop is a «spiritual» place for me. It is connected to St. Benedict’s Episcopal church, a place that is inclusive and welcomes everyone! It is a church focusing on social justice and diversity. I am not one for organized religion but this place has renewed my faith.
When one enters the Abundance shop, one gets the feeling of «spirit» even in the mere «shopping experience». I love going into the shop because the folks working there truly are lovely humans. Once I told them I worked with kids from needy homes and they gave me a bag of stuffed animals for the kids!
This place has a real heart. If you have fallen into hard times, they can help you find clothes for work and at reasonable prices. The first floor does have a lot of clothing, and I really like the book selection. I have always found inspiring books and magazines for sale there. upstairs has kids’ stuff, like clothing and toys. As I wrote, I work with kids, so I get most of my kid games and toys there.
It is worth a look when you are in the area, you will leave there feeling very good! Even if you don’t buy anything!

I went on a thrift shopping adventure the other day and Abundance Thrift
Store was on my list.
Pros: Perfectly average thrift store, Cheaper than Goodwill, Has the good, the bad, and the wonderfully ugly clothes, organized well, the ladies running the place were adorable!
Cons: Like I said, it’s your average thrift store so you do need to search for a good find, hmm, that’s my only con!

Who knew a gem like this existed in Los Osos?
The first floor of the store is all women’s and men’s clothes, there’s a significantly larger selection of women’s than men’s. There are also books, shoes, and various accessories, such as belts and scarves. On the second floor, there’s all sorts of household items and children’s clothing.
Once in a while, they’ll have their brown bag sale: stuff all sorts of clothing, shoes, and accessories in a brown bag for $ 10. There are some good modern and vintage brands. Overall good selection.
The ladies that work here are super sweet and adorable.
