“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.”

“My family and I love this place! It’s a large thrift store with many different areas to explore, including a large warehouse with tons of vintage furniture. There is a nice selection of clothing, housewares, books, and more. Prices are often more affordable than other thrift stores. I love checking out the vintage linens to find affordable fabric for sewing projects.”

“I've been driving to Crystal Lake for thirt stores for the last couple of years. WHAT A MISTAKE!! This store has it ALL and then some. It may look small from the front but it is HUGE! Name brand clothing some with tags, boots, hats, scarves, purses, etc. They even have a small Boho Chic area! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend Wild Raspberry!!! I wish I would have taken pics, next time for sure!”

“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.”

“REACH Rescue is honestly one of the best adoption centers we have ever experienced. They were so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and walked us through the entire process. Because most of the animals available are being fostered - they are socialized and so loving! You can tell all of the staff/volunteers lead with their hearts and take such good care of the animals. We happily adopted our first dog, Cedar, through them and will continue to support this amazing Rescue! ?”

“First time at Sparrow's Nest and I had such a fun experience. My adult son noticed a poster stating that there was a pink pig hidden in the store, and if you find it, you will receive a 10% discount. We weren't too concerned about the discount, but we had so much fun looking for it as we shopped. Such a beautiful thrift store with so many interesting items. Found a nice flower planter for next year's garden, a scarf and a necklace. He found a couple DVDS. Hope to return soon! And never did find the pig! Haha”

“We went to Lambs Farm with our grandchildren. We had so much fun feeding hay to the goats, sheep, horses, cows and llama. The animals are so tame and very well cared for. The girls had a great time. We also played mini golf. The mini golf course needs a little sprucing up but still fun. Great time had by all. We did not go to the thrift shop as this heading states, just the Farm area.”

“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!”

“Super late review. Maybe out of date. For what it's worth though, I had an old box of random Star Trek memorabilia from when I was younger. Several years ago brought it to Net Sells It to see what they could do. They also said, well, some will probably sell. Some probably not. Let's see. They did a single round of listing the stuff that was sellable, kept their (and eBay's) fair share for the work, and think I still got a couple hundred bucks out of it? Only about half the stuff sold, so had to go back and pick up the rest eventually. At the time I recall thinking it all seemed like a fair deal. I surely could have gotten more if I did it myself. Point is I didn't wanna though, lol. Lot of futzing around making posts and shipping and stuff. I'd use them again if I had more than a few things I needed help with. Nice to see stuff get to people who might still want it, and maybe keep a few bucks in the process.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It's a thrift store and it can be hit or miss because all I of their products are donated. So you have to visit often for a better odd of finding what you're looking for. They have instituted daily color coded discounts but still have senior discount Wednesdays every week. They always have a large selection of jeans. Didn't find many coats available today.”

“I've been coming to this Salvation Army as long as I can remember. It is huge they have a wide variety of clothing for everyone from infants to adults. They've rearranged things and I like the new flow of the store. I do wish that they would spruce it up a little. Either the roof is leaking or the floors like super dirty. The downside of them having a lot of clothes to choose from is that they don't have a fitting room. Clothes don't always look the same on your body when you see it on a hanger. Hopefully they decided to create a space for this. I love the prices here you feel like you're getting a bargain and it makes looking for things fun. It's color coded and length and style coded which makes life easier if you have an idea of what you'd like. They have a wide variety of furniture, bedding, electronics, and miscellaneous. There is a lot to see. My pet peeve is when I find something I like but it doesn't have price tag on it and then when you ask for a price they take it and say something along the lines of it shouldn't have been out or they aren't sure and there's no one to ask so they don't sell it to you. It's frustrating. I do like there shoe room plenty of good shoes for a great price. Also pay attention to the deal of the week or day. Already cheap prices, cheaper? Can't go wrong there.”
