St. Vincent de Paul

Who doesn’t love a good deal?! I don’t know about anyone else, but saving money on name brand clothes means I can buy more.
I found a pair of Nike workout pants for $ 6.99, a gorgeous Cabela’s jacket for $ 10, with the half off color tag, a Columbia fleece jacket for $ 6.50, and several shirts for less than $ 5. I spent less than $ 35 for a large bag of clothes.
I hadn’t been to this location in quite a while. I recently bought a pair of Nike workout pants and wanted a couple more pair. Which meant I wanted to go on a thrift store adventure. My husband had the day off and was totally up for it, so off we went!
This was the absolute best stop on our journey today. They have color tag sales. Today it was yellow full price, green 25% off, and white 50% off I found a bunch of clothes in here, in my favorite brands at amazing prices. I love good deals.
The store is well organized. I don’t remember appliances being in there the last time, but they had them today. I didn’t find any books today, but they are well organized by genre and author. Shoes are organized by color, not by size. Which can be annoying, but it’s part of the search. Clothes are sorted by type and size, which makes it fairly easy to sort through and find what you’re looking for.
This store is a bit of a drive for me, but after finding so much great stuff today, I’ll definitely be coming back more often.

Recently, they decided to stop sorting their clothing and shoes by size, now, they sort by style and color instead. Bad idea! There is a reason pretty much every other store in the universe sorts by size. What customer would want to waste hours sorting through the entire store when only a small percent of it is actually their size?! Who has time for that?!!
Also, they’ve recently decided to raise their prices. Interesting, considering they were already overpriced…
I’m pretty much over St. Vinnie’s until they put things back in size order. It’s just too much trouble to dig through the entire store.
**ALSO, today, I went in to give them one more shot, and overheard two employees talking in the aisles about «walking with Jesus» and «blasphemy». Talk about inappropriate.

Thrift store shoppings always a fun activity when bored. This is one of my favorite st. Vinnies. It has the best «man stuff» section. You can get in and out for under $ 10 and always packing cool things you will rarely use and just donate back in a few years.

A delightful thrift store in a sketchy part of town! Pretty darned new, the location opened in October 2006. It is well laid out with a great selection of used books and a few good finds in the clothing. A drive through donation station and pleasant employees.
This place served me well when I came up to visit the kids and forgot my suitcase but, so did the stores at Valley River Center!
