last chance Mercantile has been redone. It was fun before but it's really fun now and they have it organized so well you can always find gems there! Definitely has really good things. Just make sure you go once a week because things go in and out of there all the time, you will find some great bargains. Don't miss it!

Greatest thrift in the Monterey area: it's huge (merch extends outdoors behind the store), prices are good, quality and variety on housewares is terrific. Parking extends out next to the building beyond the drop-off area. This is way out by the dump and worth the trip.

It's a cool place, you can find a lot of interesting things there! And everything is pretty affordable!
The Last Chance Mercantile is a unique and favorite shopping experience. The store offers an extensive inventory of one-of-a-kind items ranging from books to boats, scrap lumber to furniture, and clothing to household treasures.
We believe reuse is an important strategy to extend the life of products and reduce waste in our landfills. Since opening in 1991, the Last Chance Mercantile has been serving the community and the planet by redirecting used goods and discards that still have life from the landfill.
The store benefits the Veterans Transition Center expanding the District’s mission of “turning waste into resources" to serve as a means of “empowering veterans to move from crisis to self-sufficiency."
