It’s a very clean shop, very big, and a wide selection. Problem is, the girls working there are extremely rude and judgmental. It was my first time the other day and I came in hoping to find some good plus size attire. I’m not expecting them to carry my size, but I was hopeful, so I asked the lady if there was a plus section or just everything mixed in, she looked me up and down and said we don’t carry plus size or in your case LARGE sizes you’ll need to go to Walmart, maybe they won’t carry your size there either. Granted I’m a 1x. I was in shock. I walked out and felt extremely embarrassed by the situation. Never again.

Prices on certain things are questionable for a thrift store, however overall, it's a decent thrift store. I was able to thrift a coffee table and an endstand to refurbish for our home renovation. I definitely walked out with a large purchase of books and picture frames too. I'll definitely visit again as I've now been twice.

The email you gave me is invalid. Please provide a different email address.***************Unfriendly customer service. Today, the male working the check-out refused to call up the manager about discounts when the items clearly had issues with them. He agreed to discount the items, but when he rang up the cost there was no discount applied. I then pointed out that there was no discount applied after he said he would (which he did just to shut me up), and started to fight me on this. This narcissistic behavior was unacceptable, and by this time I asked for the manager twice. This is also the first negative review I’ve given. I would be happy to change this review if I talk with a manager. I’m waiting for a response.

I never get there early enough to look at a lot of things! But I've never been there and not bought something! I love it there, you never know what you'll find!

I recently visited Thrifty Shopper for the first time to make a donation. When I approached the desk and explained that it was my first time, I inquired about where to place my donations and whether they needed to view them directly (as in they go through them and take what they want). The staff member's reaction was quite unfriendly, as she appeared annoyed by my question and interrupted conversation. Despite being the only person in line, I felt a bit discouraged by the experience.

although they have a very wide selection for a thrift store - and i’ve found some gems from here multiple times the staff here are always extremely rude and it almost feels like they find you as an annoyance .. it makes shopping here fine until you get to the counter or have a simple question to ask , i’ll most likely find another thrift store to shop at for awhile until staff gets replaced and or the manager gets them in check - it costs nothing to be kind !!!

Had a very negative experience. The staff were unnecessarily rude and unhelpful, refused to answer simple questions about when items would be available. Not sure why some people choose not to be kind, especially when it would have been so easy...a little bit of kindness goes a long way!

Definitely some good finds here and the organization does important work for the community. On today's visit, though, staff was unkind and unhelpful.

I have been going here for years, and it had always been hit or miss. Most staff had been great and there had always been the possibility of walking away with a good "find." However, they often get more donations than they usually seem they can handle, and can never seem to decide if it's okay for customers to go through the donation piles that fill a good portion of the opening to the store.
They do make it easy to donate your stuff, but just be aware of the possibility that your donations may end up in the dumpsters out back if they are particularly overwhelmed. If you're not okay with that, then better to donate elsewhere.
They keep junky stuff on the shelves too long - it would make sense for them to go through that more often and throw things away, rather than new stuff that is probably better and more likely to sell.
The last few months, things are worse than usual. Relatively new staff is rude and condescending to customers. Same new staff is probably the reason for a drastic shift in pricing for anything that isn't junk. Prices are downright silly now, so there isn't much of a reason to go anymore.
