Thrift Stores in Lake Forest, CA

“Normally don't leave reviews but this place was so cheap ($4 for a Lululemon top) and Carrie was so nice. They do promos all the time as well. will definitely come back!”

“I went to both locations today at SJC and the one on El toro Rd. At both locations I found shoes, earrings and a light weight cover for my jumpsuit to complete my outfit for a wedding in Colorado this weekend. Great finds and great help from staff with with stylish knowledge to complete my outfit. Thankyou for your help! I had a wonderful experience
I support all the work they do at Laura's House!”

“Love this smaller goodwill boutique next to the main goodwill off el Toro. Staff are very nice and the clothing choices are amazing! The prices are very good, and even if some special pieces are higher priced, the ticket color can be half it !! I bought several lovely high-end skirts and a jacket!! I'll be back next week!!”

“This is my go to place to get some of the most affordable and fashion forward clothes. I love trading in my clothes for just a little bit more store credit and finding things on my way out. I don’t think I ever leave the store without making one purchase or trading in something for something! The staff is so friendly and accommodating and the store is extremely tidy and properly organized. Nico, Ava, and Alina are always so friendly and it’s always so nice that they recognize me when I come in.
I definitely sympathize that while I bring a bulk of clothes, I’ll be lucky to sell or trade-in a couple items but it’s always worth it when I see the selection of brands and clothing and accessories they have in stock. The only biggest bummer is when they have something unique that catches my eye and it’s just not my size but that just shows they have great taste and a wonderful selection.

My only two criticisms are that the pant hangers are a bit too flimsy that when you barely brush up on them, they unclip and I hate being the guy who has to pick them up and put them back on the hanger instead of leaving them on the floor like other people do. My only recommendation would be that they keep shoehorns in stock because I love trying on their shoes, but it sometimes is a pain in the ass getting in to try a pair or putting my own shoes back on, and I don’t have a shoehorn with me.

I recommend to anybody who would like to sell or trade in clothes and they didn’t get a buy at the counter here, take some stuff to either Buffalo exchange or Eco town. But I will always come to uptown cheapskate first because it’s top-tier. Keep it up and support your local business!”

“Great deals and prices. A lot of the clothing is new still with the tags on from other stores and not marked up. For those who thrift actively for style this is definitely a good spot just don’t ruin it for those who need it. The staff are very kind and helpful as well. The whole layout of the store is very organized so you’re able to find everything you need without a problem.”

“I usually take the bus so I have a backpack on me generally and they're real rude. One will come staring at you and then a group perform all speak in Spanish and then when you say something they'll go lie to the manager saying you cussed at him. I prefer savers anyways”
