Thrift Stores in Ventura, CA

“Medium sized thrift shop with a wide range of things--books, clothes, toys, stationary etc. I bought a coat for a suit for $4 and it looks brand new! My wife bought a dress in perfect condition for about $4.

Open just twice a week. Has free parking in their lot in the back. Save more by paying cash”

“Such a cute and meaningful thrift store. Stopped by while visiting my best friend in Ventura and they had a lot of random, cute, and useful things. I didn't feel bad shopping here at all because it was all going to a good cause anyway hahaha. No regrets. 10/10 would come again.”

“The new manger is so nice I forgot her name but so nice the store looks so much cleaner the guy with the painted nails is gone I'm glad he was so rude acted like it was his store liked to argue with customers not just me glad he's gone welcome new Manager?”

“A hidden Gem ? Great selection of Pokemon Cards ! They Gave our daughter 20%off on her first booster pack ! Will be returning for more and highly recommend this place for collectors ! Amazing prices”

“A good spot for home decor and quality gems if you’re willing to dig. This is a true thrift store, not a curated boutique, but it’s well organized, which makes browsing easier. They often keep larger furniture pieces near the front entrance (accessed through the main door), and there’s a high-end designer rack worth checking.

A few things to know before you go: don’t bring large bags or backpacks as you’ll be asked to check them in a locker outside, bring cash to avoid the credit card fee, keep an eye on the savings board, and remember it’s no tag, no sale, so check items before checkout.

It can get busy during peak hours, and parking is street-only on a busy road, so timing matters.

Donations: Drop-offs are at the gate on the right side of the store. They also offer donation pickup.

Hours: 10 am–6 pm
Closed: Sunday & Monday

Solid thrift if you’re looking for decor, furniture, and the occasional great find without the boutique markup.”

“Always friendly, always something new, and the prices are fair as the cause is just. Great management of a motivated volunteer crew. A great place for animal lovers to express support via donations and purchases.”

“If you’re into hunting for antiques, vintage pieces, and collectibles, Treasure Hunters on Main Street is a shop to explore. There’s a nice variety throughout the store, and I found several items to purchase.
The owner and his daughter were both welcoming and helpful, which made the visit even better. The back sections were especially interesting, with old photo albums, they even found one of Hayden Panettiere who just passed away ,vehicle-related relics, and plenty of unique items you don’t see every day.
I also came across some of my favorite things to hunt for—state license plates, baseball cards, and die-cast cars in both sealed and loose condition. They told me they’re planning a pretty big sale in the next few months, so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for that.
If you’re already exploring Main Street, I’d say this one is worth stopping at.”

“The BARGAIN BOX really ROCKS! I love thrifting and think this is the best thrift store in Ventura Co. Kitchen equipment, dishes and china, linens and of course, men’s and women’s clothes and so much more! All clean and displayed beautifully. This organization, Outreach Alliance of Ventura Co, serves children and families in our county. Manned by dedicated and lovely volunteers, all monies go to their programs. Enjoy an outing to the Bargain Box - and return often to help support children and families in our County.”

“This place is truly a treasure hunt. Prices are atypical of a Goodwill type store with some items up to $30-40. There weren't a ton of dresses, but a good selection of pants and tops. Everything was decently organized. They also have donations from brands, so there is some brand new items at a steep discount. The day that I went, there was a huge rack of All Saints brand flared dark denim jeans for less than $20! It's worth checking out if you are in the area.”

“I stop by the Goodwill at 404 East Main St. mainly for clothing, and they always have a nice selection to look through. The quality is there. The presentation stands out and the layout is clean, organized, and easy to browse.

It’s not the cheapest thrift store in Ventura, but you can still come across some worthwhile finds. On this visit, I picked up a couple of shirts and a pair of shorts and felt good about the value. It worked out because the items I liked ended up being on the lower end of their price ranges for items in those categories.

For me, this isn’t a spot where I shop for inventory for my eBay / resale business. I usually don’t come across electronics, furniture, collectibles, tools, or similar items that make sense for resale. They just don’t seem to stock the types of items that work well for my resale business at this location. I mainly focus on clothing, and that’s where this store works well for me.

The main reason I find myself here is the convenience. When I’m walking up and down Main Street, which I do on a semi-regular basis, it’s right there. It’s on the corner location of a nice building with a good ambiance and a true Ventura vibe in the heart of downtown. It's a nice place to stop in and pick up a few things, all while supporting a good cause and the local community.”

“My friend and I had a great time bargain hunting and brainstorming a photo session for our friends. We found such cute, quality shirts for our bandleader and super cool dresses for our professional model. We will be back to mine more treasure.”

“Great thrift store with a wide selection of quality second-hand items! This Goodwill location is clean, well organized, and easy to browse. You can find clothes, household items, and unique treasures at very affordable prices.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the checkout process is quick. I also appreciate how easy and convenient it is to donate here. A perfect place for budget-friendly shopping and supporting a good cause. Highly recommended!”

“I was honestly hesitant to come in after reading some reviews, but the Tuesday morning crew was honestly great. The guys working were super friendly, patient, and helpful. I was running errands before work and kept forgetting my bags and coming back in, and they were still really nice about it the whole time lol.

Just know they carefully curate their inventory, so don’t have the expectation that they will buy everything you bring in- although im sure it can happen. They did buy a few things from me, and I was happy with the store credit amount. If you choose cash, you receive 25% of what they’ll price the item at. Overall, really positive experience and I’ll definitely be back to shop.”

“awesome thrift store with a ton of cool stuff but the only issue i really have is their pricing. sometimes their clothes will be priced crazy high like i found a camo jacket marked for 60$ when i had found the exact same in another store for a quarter of the price. still my favorite thrift store but i hope to see this issue resolved eventually!”
