Children’s Hospital & Health Center Thrift House

Egh so so. They have an upstairs full of cheap new clothes, some with tags still on. There is also a large book selection upstairs.
Downstairs there is a mediocre selection of shoes, dresses and other ladies clothes. Children’s clothes are pretty good as well as the toy selection. Also there is a lot of .99 cent and other small trinket section downstairs, especially during the holidays.

thrift stores.
early eighties. our family was broke, living in southeast sd. our shopping choices were pretty slim: KMart, Kids Mart (when my mom had the money), Price Breakers, GemCo, the occasional trek to Plaza Bonita mall,
and thrift shops.
didn’t really get to have the crisp name brand stuff til i was a teen, but i digress.
if you are a thrift store shopper or even just a lookee loo, i strongly encourage you to visit children’s hospital thrift on el cajon (off fairmount).
the main lower floor is pretty much run of the mill, as far as thrift stores go. some of the furniture pieces are pretty cool, but the clothing downstairs is eh. go upstairs to the «designer boutique.» that’s where the good stuff is.
really nice leather jackets, cute shoes, surplus clothing (new, not used), trendyish/​stylish looking used clothes, and a few true vintage items will be found here. the misc. stuff is pretty good too, if you happen to find anything by pure chance. i once found a BEAUTIFUL chess set made of carved stone. the whole set must weigh at least 12 pounds. awesome.
parking is «eh,» hit or miss.
downstairs, you will sometimes find seasonal items (halloween décor, christmas crap, valentine’s doilies) or 99cent store type merchandise.
