“My kids and I have been coming here since before COVID. We love it here. Everything is organized by size, that's a huge help in a thrift store. They have almost anything you need for home or clothing items for the whole family. Recommend for getting good items for a fraction of the price as new stores.”

“Gonzalo and Michelle are so friendly and wonderful! I love how organized the store is, and how there are many items with the color tag of the week, rather than other stores where I see them take off the tags and u can’t even find any sales on the racks. I love it here, definitely my favorite Salvation Army in San Diego!”
“If your looking for furnishing, gently used items for your college bound kids, check this place out! Great pricing and found great deals! Photo shows a table, bookcase, and room screen divider.”
“I used to live in the apartment complex directly next to Home Start. The first time I noticed this store was Halloween 2018, a few hrs. before a last minute puppy Halloween party.
Not only did I find the CUTEST mermaid costume I’ve ever seen… but it was a complete set & not just random pieces of clothing someone decided to donate last minute vs. throw away.
Amongst that I found a gigantic stack of my favorite designer jeans— not only in my size, but in a plethora of styles (not just straight leg)…. Oh, & I usually pay about $200 retail for these jeans but every single pair i purchased that day & so on, we’re $4.
The women working here are so amazing & they really care & look out for their clients best interests.
I did unfortunately move but I always come back once a month for bag day! ?”
“Hard working friendly staff keep stocking up the treasures, great value and worth the time to browse the complete selection, clean restroom available to the shoppers.”
“This thrift store is probably one of the most organized thrift stores that you will come across. The items that they carry are in good quality, and they are reasonably priced. Staff is really friendly as well.
However, the stickers that they place on their items like books and pictures, do not peel off easily. It leaves, residue and remnants of the sticker that require cleaning and scraping off, which can be damaging to the item in general.”

“Above and beyond! Better stuff and prices then the Salvation Army's store down the street. I made a purchase of a large item and without me asking for anything, they took care and helped me regarding that item. Special shout-out to the lady and the man who took the extra steps above their job, thanx!!!”
“everyone so sweet when I go and every time I go, I find the things that I need very quickly so I think I’m very lucky in that aspect. Do I wish it was a bit more organized yes but I really can’t ask for much is a thrift store and it’s always full Of items that I’ll need.”
“I love this store. It can be messy at times but its recently its been pretty great and I love searching for treasures. Still a better deal than Goodwill and Salvation.”
“This location accepts donations! Go straight to the back with your fully loaded vehicle and you can unpack all your goodies from your parking spot. They have a system to make the process smooth and painless. Haven't been inside, but the donation process was easy peasy =)”
“I love the variety of gently used clothing and pre‑owned shoes at Plato's Closet El Cajon. The selection is always fresh and the prices are great. Would definitely come back again because of the pricing.”

“I always have a good time shopping at this thrift store. I walked in and I am always nicely greeted. Maribell greeted me as i entered the store with a smile on her face. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor and is always checking on customer if help is needed. I recommend this store to anyone.”
“I do interior design for vacation rentals and I go in whenever I have a new project and find all kinds of wonderful lamps, knickknacks dishes, furniture, and for my personal things they always have some kind of arts and crafts and bric-a-brac that I can use to make art with not only it are the staff helpful but they always have something to show you that they know you might like that maybe they haven’t put out on the floor yet the hours are great. The place is always clean and organized for how much stuff they have in the store. I highly recommend it and always do to whoever will listen and I know a lot of Thrifters.”

“The store has a fun layout and some interesting and cool items. Parking is a challenge.
Brought my donations to the front counter because I couldn't get to the back of the store.”
“The most lovely ladies working here! I was visiting from New York and popped in and was really impressed by their collection of vintage jewelry! I may have bought half the collection. They also have a nice selection of blazers and sweaters as well as home decor. Everything is so organized and clean! They showed me the back room where processing and cleaning takes place and it is very meticulous with a lot of work and love poured into what they do. Will definitely be back!”

“This was one of our first stops on Coronado Island and I loved our experience. I took my kids and my mom - we loved all the cute unique finds. Everything is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend stopping in and exploring this little shop for treasures.”
“I've become a fan of these stores. You can find interesting things here. Now I have French porcelain plates on my shelves for less than what you'd find in regular stores.”
“While it's been a while since I've found a true score here. I still stop by every time I'm in the area. One of the better thrift stores in Chula Vista.”

“I shop here often. I find good things in the housewares, particularly the glass section.
I had an experience last week where I went to buy some vases. The sticker said set of 4 but there were only 3. I took them to the cash register & explained. The manager said I can’t sell you 3 of the 4 & sent an employee to look in the shelves. They couldn’t find the 4th one either. I said, well, I’d like to buy these 3 anyway. And she repeated I can’t sell you 3 of the 4. So I asked “there are only 3. If you won’t sell 3 of the 4 & you only have 3, you will never let anyone buy these 3?” In the end she sold me the 3 for 3/4 the price listed. I understand not breaking up a set but when the set is incomplete on the shelf, I’m not sure why that had to be so difficult.”
“I don't know if this place is actively serving the homeless anymore. I saw so many homeless out on the street I'm beginning to wonder. I came down to the community today to feed. And there were so many I didn't have enough food. I remember back in the day Saint Vincent De Paul used to feed hundreds of hundreds of people every day. But at this time of the day I didn't see any lines like you would normally see. I don't know if I missed it or what happened. I know Saint Vincent's was a help to me when I was on the streets over 20 years ago. Do they still do those same things? I have no idea because all I saw was a few people”
“Everyone was very kind and more than helpful with finding uniforms for anyone new to the Navy.
The deals were amazing. Full dress whites, khakis, NWU, kid toys, etc for less than $100. Incredible place”
“I would donate again to Thrift korral especially since they are supporting the hospice through Grossmont Hospital and programs. Dropping my donated clothing was easy experience you just pull up in the back area and very nice people come to help you unload”
“So cheap with great finds! Christine is awesome . My toddler was crying and she let her pick out a stuffed animal to keep. Every time I go there, it’s a great experience.”
“So delighted to meet these young entrepreneurs and find their darling little thrift store. I’ve found a little treasure each time I’ve gone in and their prices are incredibly low. The owners are what this world needs, more joy, kindness and love for all. If you need a friendly face to brighten your day and looking for something to adorn your shelves, please go visit and support them!”
“I go here from time to time. Sometimes I find good clothes & such, and sometimes I don’t. It’s a hit or miss, but honestly I just like wandering in here cause the place is big and I get some steps in.”

“I liked the attention of the staff and in the store I found some things I was looking for but the strong point there are the auctions of various merchandise on pallets”
“Awesome little thrift shop! It's a little tucked in La Mesa but a must see for cute little gems. Great prices and great service. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. Found a wooden utensil holder for only $3!!”
“Cisco the owner is awesome! This place has some great deals and it’s always nice shopping and spending money with small businesses. Tons of Costco items, beach chairs, tools, couches you name it they got it.”
