I come to this thrift store every time I’m in the area and find killer items more than half of the time.

I will never go to this store again. It was a mess and gross. It was dirty. I really don’t have anything positive to say about this location.

This is a great place. lots of great deals. go wednesday for half off. make sure you show up early if you want a cart. expect craziness, it will be packed. the only thing, although it is like this anywhere, there is 10 times more stuff for women then men.

I am an avid, utterly addicted thrifter, and since its opening, Community Aid has been one of my go-​to locations when I’m in town.
Positives:
–Consistent, high quality finds
–Friendly employees
–Well organized
–New items almost daily
Negatives:
–Greedy pricing
I would give this store ⁵⁄₅ stars if it weren’t for its pricing. I understand charging more for designer items (Coach, Chanel, real fur coats, vintage items in immaculate condition). However, $ 7.99 for a USED Gap blazer that took me 15 minutes of digging to find? This is a charitable organization, right? How do individuals with limited means afford such prices? Christian, Jewish, atheist – irrespective of a religious mission, prices this high aren’t affordable for individuals suffering from real poverty. More than once I have put back an item because I refuse to send the message that it is okay to charge $ 8.99 for outdated, generic, (USED) shoes from the mall. Buffalo Exchange – a private enterprise – charges the same prices for better, current trends and is a private business that isn’t luring people in under the pretext of charity.
Bashing aside, I can still occassionally find good items for somewhat acceptable prices, and I love the vaguely ecumenical partnerships. However, if Community Aid keeps raising its prices, I will start visiting the Salvation Army more since they’ve been around longer and have always maintained reasonable prices for the community.

I’ve always been a fan of Community Aid. This location is GIGANTIC for a thrift store and I think the prices are a bit better than the competition. They have clothing of ALL sizes. The different sections are clearly marked with signs and it’s very rare that I find anything in the wrong section. The only reason I knocked a star off is because I wish they had some more furniture.
Community Aid is the place to be on Wednesday. Everything is half off! Although I will say that it gets a little nutty with crowds of people. Make sure you take your hangers off before you get to the register area.

Best thrift store ever!!! Not only is it a very clean location but the employees are very nice! They have fantastic merchandise and prices. I go there every week and will continue to do so. Love it!
