“Nine Lives is a fun and exciting place to shop. There’s always something new to see, and Roxanne and team are truly kind folks. I really enjoy my weekly trips I’ve been making lately, I feel welcomed and I always walk away from conversations feeling hopeful and inspired in some way or another. There’s definitely lots of love and good vibes here!
As a thrift store, where they rely solely on donors, I think they do a phenomenal job of sourcing a wide range of options that suits everyone! Well done Nine Lives!”
“Such an incredibly fun, unique store. Full of interesting, odd and silly finds. Everything from pool floaties to old pens to miscellaneous computer parts. I didn’t have my kids along, but I saw a family there with young kids and they LOVED getting to pick out little knick knacks. Everything is super reasonably priced and we loved reading all of the silly price cards. Would definitely recommend a stop if you are in the area. You won’t regret it.”
“Absolutely wonderful customer service! I called to see if something was still in stock, they checked & confirmed that it was, and then proceeded to help me take it apart and load it into my car. Gigi was so sweet and helpful! I love kid to kid!!”
“A wide variety of gently used high quality clothing. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. I appreciate the fact they treat everyone with respect, I highly recommend this place. And I'd like to thank all of the volunteers!!”
“If you’re willing to dig and look and have time and patience, this store is incredible! My daughter found many items for her junk journaling and other projects. It’s all recycled/used items, but the possibilities are endless! Such a fun store!”
“I love how the community collaboration between the donated and the handcrafted local artwork and living herbs and plants the unity in the conscious consumer and creator collective is unparalleled!”
“Centsibly Chic is hands-down the best vintage thrift shop in West Saint Paul! The staff is absolutely wonderful—always welcoming and helpful—which makes hunting through their amazing selection of fun, unique treasures even more enjoyable. I’m constantly blown away by the incredible deals I find here; it’s the perfect spot to score high-quality vintage pieces without breaking the bank. Highly recommend stopping in!”
“My absolute favorite thrift store. Best prices, excellent selection, great employees, and a place that actually helps out the local community supporting our homeless neighbors with free clothing and lets them shop for what they want. You can always find something here.”

“The owner is super nice and has helped me patch up several holes in my motorcycle pants, gloves, and even fixed my backpack strap from falling off. Never had a bad experience yet!!
Thank you for your help!!”
“Wow. This place has really stepped up. The staff are so so so helpful. Ive never experienced this in a large thrift store. Pricing is fair. Place is pretty organized.”
“The one thing I like about the Goodwill especially this Goodwill is it's got a nice big movie collection of new and used mostly used movies but it's got a very very big selection of titles cuz I'm a big fan of physical media”
“I shopped on 9/6/25 @ 2:30 or so, both the older woman w / glasses and long hair and a young man were awesome @ checkout! I so can appreciate ! ? Store.... clean organized, not to hard to get at stuff ! Pleasant shopping experience and not to over priced! :)”
“Dave and his partner helped us unload a truck full of stuff. Was fast and friendly.
The location drop off is very tight for a truck to drive through and out. They helped guide us, but definately an issue.”
“This is actually we are being here for just looking around for the anything and everything. And then we're having not find any things so just keep looking around more”
“Absolutely a great bins location. Bring gloves, manifest a cart- if not, find a bag or tote in a bin to store your things. Staff is great- meet them with respect. Love this location!”
“Some of the items are a bit expensive but they do have a big selection of items and the store is clean and organized. I found this little guy there today paid $15 which i found to be on the higher price but still took it lol.”
“People who think they're being greedy because they don't like a price need an economics lesson. Sure, they get the stuff for free, but they have to pay people to run the store and for the building and utilities, and obviously they're trying to raise money for Easter Seals.
And if a price is actually too high, the item won't sell, so if they set it too high they're being ignorant, not greedy. They use a system to set the price, and that system might be prone to error, but there's not one guy who's setting a higher price and then pocketing the cash.”
“My wife loves thrift stores as it occupies her time in retirement. My wallet on the other hand is a little lite, tho. Lol. With that said.
From the few times I been here with my wife in tow. Found the store decent in their selections, but their prices are a bit high for a "thrift store". I am assuming here inflation is part of the reason for the higher prices on used goods. In my opinion is I can buy new at a lesser price then here.
Employees were okay and nice at times. Parking is pretty decent as well.”
“The donation drop-off area is a small area. It's not a drive-thru. Also the area to the left when you're walking in is very crowded. Good deals and helpful staff.”
