Stop N Shop Thrift Store

Out of touch with the prices of items! Who is in charge here? ask about a price reduction on items I buy regularly they had put a higher price sticker over the regular store sticker that was higher than when originally bought. They declined my offer. Are you in the business of making money or would you like to start a hoarding business? CRAZY! use to be my favorite shop!

It’s a shop that is stuffed full of items, priced apparently by people not really tuned into present retail realities. Very over-​priced used items from say, Target, some might say priced as if the items were brand new, and in a charming retail space. BUT… ya know it’s for a good cause, so if you do manage to find some bauble you can’t live without, go ahead and pay that rather ambitious price tag. You’ll be helping senior citizens, and if I’m going to over pay for something, why not for this worthy cause?

higher prices than average and the store hours aren’t very accomodating

I love this place! The prices may be a little on the high side but you have to remember what your dollars are benefitting. Our dollars pay for excellent programs for our local seniors. Go often so you can see the new stuff nearly every day.

I found some cool finds. The prices were a little higher than I’d expect for a thrift store though.

If you’re at the West Seattle Junction, the Stop N Shop Thrift Store (operated by the West Seattle Senior Center) is a cute little thrift store to check out.
It’s a medium-​sized store that’s well maintained and clean. Their stuff includes some clothes, but mostly it seems to be housewares: dishes and glasses, linens, costume jewelry, art, and knick-​knacks galore.
The prices here always seem kind of high to me, which may be why I’ve never bought anything. They’ll feature some special items like silverware sets, paintings, or furniture that can be several hundred dollars (!). They do have rotating 50% discounts off colored tags, so if you see something you love, you might have to wait until it’s discounted and hope it’s still there.
The staff seems friendly enough and the store is pretty easy to browse through quickly. I like that they support the senior center, so I try to stop in when I’m in West Seattle, hoping to find something at their store to buy and support their work. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood, for sure.

Dropped in today to see what housewares and jewelry they had. I only found one pair of rhinestone earrings. The housewares stuff was a bit jumbled and they had a small collection of clothes that might appeal to some but not me. The lady at the counter was super nice though!

This is the West Seattle Senior Center’s thrift store. They have limited hours, 10 – 4, but they are open 7 days a week.
Every time I’ve gone here I’ve found interesting things for cheap prices. They have a ton of glassware and dishes and collectible knick knacks for the treasure hunters out there. They have a small amount of clothes and shoes, tons of costume jewelry, and a small little room of kid’s stuff. They also have paintings, fabric, and other misc. houseware items. They even have a dressing room.
The prices here are usually much cheaper than what you’d find at Goodwill and Value Village, which is good for my budget. Also, the ladies that volunteer here are very sweet and helpful.
They ask for a $ 5 minimum before you used a card, which is fair. They also have sales each week, which you can see on their website.
What an awesome place!

I’m kind of a repeat offender :) I’ve been sifting the fabric remnant bin for the last few months when I’m at that end of California. They have a large container of separated «mystery» grab bags for $ 1.00−3.00 each… I’ve scored some totally kitschy fabrics to quilt with. I’ve also bought a handful of vintage sheet music… to repurpose into art/​journaling.
While thrift finds are always fun I also enjoy that I’m supporting my local community when I’m shopping. (it’s also being green)
West Seattle senior’s are rockin’ the stop n’ shop… no doubt about it.

i like to believe i have the same taste of some grandma’s. good prices, nice service, and who knows what you will find. that is the beauty of thrift store shopping. they have some furniture and a mix of everything else. i was able to score a nice vintage end table, new crate and barrel coasters, and a canvas painting on my first trip.
