Thrift Stores near Waukegan, IL

“Great place!! The Salvation Army in general as an organization truly does help people in the struggle. I don't think people realize the Salvation Army is more than just a set thrift stores. In my time of need SA was there to help me in my battles.”

“Love this store! Very well organized and the Displays are nicely done, but still inviting to look through and find treasure. We were happily greeted by DEBRA, who was fantastic! If you need help finding anything or getting an opinion she’s your girl! She was so much fun to shop with, my friend and I really enjoyed ourselves. I was actually there to support my friend who was looking for some things for a trip she’s going on. She found a lot of nice things, and they were having 20% off of everything! She found a gorgeous jacket from Talbots for a very low price, among things, and I even came out with a nice pair of jeans and two tops! YOU HAVE TO Go!!! And say Hi to Debra!!?”

“We absolutely love Loved Twice! It is probably our all-time favorite secondhand store! The staff are so warm, caring and have become almost like family to my family. They always carry high quality items at very reasonable prices. We have been particularly blessed by the many like-new baby clothes and equipment found at Loved Twice.”

“Reach Rescue is incredible. I support their mission and appreciate all they do for our community and rescuing our animals. I have the privilege of partnering with them when my clients would like to donate items to their store. They are a pleasure to work with every time. Thank you for all that you do for the animals and our community.”

“If I could, I would give Upscale Rummage 10 stars! This place is truly amazing. Do you love thrifting? Do you think you've got your thrifting routine all worked out? Do you think you've got your line up of unmissable Chicago thrifts sorted? You are wrong... unless you've already been to Upscale Rummage already and this is your number #1 thrifting experience. No thrift store in Chicago gets even near the fabulousness of this place. It's huge but it is not filled with garbage. New and incredible stuff comes in every week! Great antique and modern furniture, light fixtures, books, records, clothes, jewelry, kitchenware, gardening, sport gears, textiles, rugs, mirrors and art... they also have a year-round Xmas shop and regular department discounts. This shop is also incredibly well curated. Items are very fairly priced too. Rene', the owner, and her army of charming helpers are a true delight. Always smiling and welcoming. We bought so much from this store. It has brought so much joy. We end up there almost every week and rarely leave empty handed. And the money goes to charity. I mean, what more do you want? This is the one and only thrift store in you need. Chicagoans, take a trip to Libertyville and learn how it's done. If you have not been to Upscale Rummage yet, you don't know what thrifting is about. Go. NOW!”

“The owner and her staff are very attentive and greet everyone with a smile and when you leave her establishment she always says THANK YOU FOR COMING ? regardless if you purchase or not. You can find unique gifts for just about every holiday or birthday! However if you see something BUY IT! BECAUSE IT WONT BE THERE WHEN YOU COME BACK! I can't say enough about this little gem in Libertyville.”

“I am a former resale shopowner and recovering shopaholic and I have not LOVED a resale shop like this in many years. I usually walk around resales and find nothing exciting. Everything here is only the best of what is donated. The furniture was beautiful and bargain priced. They had a lot of high end home decor. I bought candles and candleholders, a down throw, a winter coat, a large canvas picture, a book, a cd, 4 new or like new designer clothing items and with the discount it was only $100. More than I have found at a resale in many many years! There was a beautiful pair of living velvet living room chiars for only $49 each that I wish I had room for! A lot of the clothing was new with the tags on it. I bought a few designer tops that were upwards of $200 on poshmark and ebay for only $20, PLUS if your are over 62, you get 20% off everything on Tuesdays. I can't wait to treasure hunt here again and check out the other locations.”

“They have some really great stuff! I like that they expanded and have made little areas in the store that coordinate. Tons of name-brand and brand new items too. Very pleased! Super friendly staff as well.”

“This is my go to goodwill when buying puzzles. I went there today again and I found so many cheap and beautiful puzzles. I got four of them for only 14$! I even found a 4x500pc Disney puzzle set for only 5$! I also found a cool Disney figurine. I do have to say the clothes are a bit expensive but it’s organized very neatly in color order. I got this soft Victoria’s Secret hoodie/sweater for like 7$. We also got a couple of picture frames for a cheap price. The staff and service is fine as well.”

“We donated to them, but had a chance to see the retail operation. Higher end gently used clothing and household goods, and priced accordingly. We gave them 6 prom dresses and matching shoes, among other things. Similar, nice quality dresses were priced around $40. Definitely worth a look!”

“This is my favorite thrift store. It's packed with stuff so you're bound to find something. Clothing selection for women is pretty nice. Shoes are okay. Knick knacks galore. A good CD pops up every once in a while. One time somebody donated their preserved butterfly collection; that was pretty cool. However, the prices are not that great. If you memorize the color schedule, you might be able to snag something good for half off, which is what I usually wait to do. AC works fine. Customer service is also fine as long as you don't get up in their face.”

“I’ve gone here for years, since I was in middle school, and i’ve always been able to find some great stuff.
Unfortunately a lot of the items nowadays are shein and polyester, but if you check frequently you can find some goodies + the fitting rooms are available! I highly appreciate the ladies that work there as some of the customers have no home training and leave the store an absolute wreck!!!! (like leaving clothes on the floor and getting them all dirty with dust because of it! put it back on the rack if you drop something!!!)
The prices have slightly increased over the last two years but that’s to be expected as inflation is hitting everything.

Otherwise, I will continue to come here and the color tags with discounts are my favorite! I’ve also found some of my favorite clothes from here!”

“Big selection of clothes with a lot of different stuff to choose from. Many other household items and unique items to find. If you like thrift stores it's definitely worth browsing. I was glad to see it wasn't too dirty or have a bad smell.”

“SUPER AFFORDABLE especially as a low income household.First time coming here and I was so excited about the prices! When you go to a community thrift you can tell when they actually care about their community w/ their prices and staff :-) very nice employeesThere is a ton of variety! :) Definitely coming back here again!”

“I visited here for the first time on a Friday, and for me it was ok… they had a great sale going in 40% off clothes which was nice, the store had alot to choose from I left with two items which I love. Definitely worth a stop”
