Thrift Stores near Lambertville, MI

“Wednesdays are my favorite..sure has changed for the better over the last couple years..I have heard from the employees it's a great place to work. clean with friendly faces.”

“There are always sales going on! I rarely pay more than $15-20 a visit. The staff are very kind and helpful. This store in particular also has a better men's selection than other competitors, and a very nice selection of shoes!”

“Love going there! There are many things to find if you are a little patient because the store is pretty big. Plenty of clothing, furniture, toys, linens, electronics. The staff is very nice, specially Josie, she always greets everyone and goes beyond helping customers with many things. My 70 years old mother in a wheelchair adores her. I truly recommend you all going there.”

“I actually really love this store because they put out really great clothing and the rails come out frequently. Buggies are hit and miss but that I think is down to staffing and lack of donations. The store is always clean and well presented with some amazing staff who take pride in their work and making the customers feel welcomed because they know us by face and by name as we shop so frequently and they have served so many years there.

As with many shoppers I spend a lot of time in the store to find the best bargains and wait for things coming out. I do this here and elsewhere and I spend a LOT of money across all the stores in the area.

What lets this store down is the cashiers and the sly back handed comments about what I have found to buy on any given day, several times trying to not sell me what I have picked up because they ‘need to ask the manager’ about the price (when a price is on it), or they think it might have gone out by accident as if should be ‘for ShopGoodwill’. This has actually been something that has happened on a few occasions over years not months. It is why of the Goodwill stores I do frequent, I go here the least.

I have let this slide a long time but after speaking to several other people I have found that it is not just me this happens to but that doesn’t make it any better it is actually worse. The comments I got last week had me enraged and I politely paid and left but I was furious. The implication was that because I had a reasonably good day finding things (i think I picked up 6 items that day, 3 that I caught from a fresh buggy) she basically asked how I ‘knew’ to shop that day as i seemed to have ‘got lucky’ inspecting the items. Bearing in mind I have lost count of the times I have walked in and waled out buying nothing and she has seen that too (and commented as I left).

Resellers are not the enemy. We spend a lot of money in your stores and do not need to be shamed for how we make a living. They probably spend more than any other shoppers especially since the pandemic. There is an abundance of donations and all the really great items are already pulled out and never see the floor. We have the same access as everyone else with slightly more patience to wait around for it. We live in hope for the odd treasure to slip through.

Likewise those who have less money do not need to be having a full on debate in front of a line of people about the price of soft toys because more and more items that were previously ‘set’ prices seem to be individually priced now. I have seen this happen multiple times basically implying they switched the tags.

Shopping there so much I see way more than I say here. If you are going to complain about paying customers (and your colleagues) at least be discreet. Rather than worrying so much about those who PAY for their goods and following them around the store making them feel uncomfortable, worry about the vast amount of theft because I guarantee that amounts to way more than I spend.”

“This is the first review I have ever posted. This thrift store is so great the staff needs to know how great of a job they are doing!!! Thank you for your outstanding organization and care in what you are doing, it is so much appreciated! Very good selection of good quality items for a good price as well. If I could give this location more stars I would!”
