“Good. +$2 on clothes compared to area outside the cities. You need to put in a membership number to receive color of the week discounts. It's not bad. And there's free parking. Go on a Monday for more open parking spaces.”
“Woah baby. Consignment lovers, eat your heart out. Fia's offers a real life treasure hunting experience with items that meet every budget and need. Fia's infectious personality will leave you feeling like family. Come for the treasures, stay for the memories. This trip, I found a vintage Nike quarterzip windbreaker, a Chanel cross body, a crochet set, and a Harry Poter novel. Talk about eclectic!”
“Well lit thrift store, big, you never know what you will find! We found some brand new sweatshirts my girls can wear with their uniform for school. We needed some things for costumes for a play and found what was needed. And I donated clothes and toys my kids had outrown. Win all around.”
“Small but nice thrift store that feels like a boutique. Good place to donate your best stuff. And they give all their proceeds to nonprofits that serve people. Inspiring.”
“I will be donating 2 BIG BAGS OF SHOES IN CLOTHES to this organization for the 2nd time I love how they give back to the community I love that they give vouchers for items ppl donate for the ppl in need in I love that my clothes in shoes I didn’t want to throw away is going to be used by others makes me feel proud in I’m so happy for the opportunity to give back to the communities. I originate in MD but I love DC so I try to help everywhere but this is my favorite place for drop off”
“Awesome shop right around the corner. Amazing selection of house wares, clothes, jewelry, art, books, CDs.
Wish they had a larger media area (CDs and DVDs) but you’ll be sure to find something here.
Staff is lovely too!”
“I've been visiting this shop for over a year now and I find their wares to be consistently well-currated and organized. You can find some incredible bargains, especially for clothes and books. Or even unique collectibles and antiques for a reasonable price. It's a great community hub where you can feel good shopping second hand and supporting their ministries.”
“I love the owner of this place, he is truly a great guy who loves to help people and support the community. Sometimes the prices are high and sometimes the prices are just right. It all depends on the person and day of the week.
Everyone who works there is working for free and all earnings go to the hospice care.
I highly support them and have the utmost respect for the manager/owner who knows so much about persian and iranian culture and history.”
“Hands down. One of the best Thrift Stores i have been in on bases. Very very well organized obviously with a lot of hard work from the volunteers. And there are so many of them. It's excellent. All are friendly. If you need help they are on it so quick. They drop what they are doing and help. Amazing team!! Thank you guys. Ill see ya next week, to shop! 😆”
“Great neighborhood thrift shop with friendly volunteers and a charitable mission. They have a good selection of items sans furniture. The only downside is the small size of the place which can sometimes feel claustrophobic when it's busy (which it usually is), or impossible to get into when they're running an end-of-season sale.”
“this is my all-time FAVORITE thrift store. I love the how friendly the volunteer staff are, I love supporting the community, and I swear I find the BEST items in this shop.”
“Really great finds and super friendly staff who go above and beyond! You can find some pretty cute items for good prices. The place was pretty organized when I went in, but the fun is also digging up treasures!”
“Located onboard JBAB, the Navy Marine Corps Thrift Shop is a wonderful place to find all sorts of items. Clothing, books, household goods, sports gear, and uniforms. One needs a U.S. military ID to purchase uniform items.”

“A good thrift shop which is a part of the All Saints Church. It has its own separate entrance with handicap accessible ramp. Lots of good quality stuff from the affluent surrounding community. More women than men's clothing. A surprising selection of house and kitchenwares. As with most thrift shops, the inventory is varied and if you see something you like buy it. Prices are excellent. Open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, sometimes on Sunday.
Definitely worth a looksee.”
“If you enjoy thrifting and finding deals, this is the place. Expect to spend some time here because there is a lot of excellent clothing to look through here at great prices. The owners were very friendly and honest people. I am so glad I stopped by.”
“This is a lovely church in Georgetown and just a short walk from M Street. I have been here twice now, once for a funeral and recently for a much more happier occasion, a wedding. It is beautiful inside and well worth a look if you find yourself this way or want to have a wedding here, or a funeral.”
“We recently moved to Mclean and needed some household items.. this place is an awesome treasure trove.. We purchased our couch (other furnishings) ,clothes and misc accoutrements.. highly recommend pulling up and seeing all there is to see..”
“Tomas is a good person for our community Keith is a amazing love the work you guys put in thanks to all the volunteers for my hungry and cold nights going unnoticed doing the most in Alexandria with little effort but bigger than life effects”
“Very friendly staff, lots of clothes at good prices and also lots of shoes. I wish they had a larger plus size section but at least what they did have was well labeled. I found some good gems!”
“Small, very nice volunteers, eclectic mix of things to sift through. A decent amount of women's clothes, some housewares, a few crafting items, one rack of men's clothes. Excellent reasonable prices.”
“As a donor, the process couldn't be easier: no inspection, just drop your stuff into the bins by the entrance. As a shopper, I have found luck with some of their kids' clothes and books, as well as some beautiful vintage glassware. Personally their adult clothing and shoes haven't caught my eye, which they dedicate 75% of the store to. I'd prefer a more curated adult clothing selection as I find the quantity overwhelming with too many items that I think no one is likely to buy.”
“First time going to this thrift and I absolutely loved it. Great selection of furniture, clothing and interesting pieces. The people that work here are really nice. I bought a Tat Soul tattoo table in amazing condition for 40.00. These usually retail into the thousands. I came in on a Sunday and had to come back with a truck to pick it up. They were amazing about holding the item for me. Great place to find treasures.”
“Excellent cause! Look Again has unique household items (some vintage) for your home. I have seen some cute loveseats for sale there. I donate my gently used items here.”
“This store had an assortment of items for very cheap. As a college student this is a Godsend because not only is it a short walk, there is literally toiletries for less than 2$ when everywhere else has it for so much more. Definitely will be using this store for the rest of my years here.”

“This is one of the more compact goodwills I have been to in the area. The parking lot for this location is small but with plenty of parking. Once inside the store, you will find a large selection of women's and men's clothes and shoes along with an ample house wears section. It has very small children's clothes, toys, and even smaller books sections. Like other goodwills in the area prices are fair. I would prioritize coming here if looking for clothing our housewares.”
“Beautifully curated consignment shop for a great cause! I LOVE that it's a women supporting women shop. Every time I go in, I'm so impressed with how beautifully the shop is designed. I want my house to look like the shop! The staff and volunteers are wonderful and helpful. Highly recommend!”
“i'll guess i'll start with this as a story (my testimonial if you will) so i had just moved from front royal to alexandria in the fifth grade of elementary school (yeah with mrs brown with her catch phrase save the drama for your mama and in hindsight maybe learning it could be a 'sanctuary city') my parents and i were looking for some cleats for weight league football (it was the bucknell tigers i think 75lb the next up from 'ankle biters' as a offensive lineman) and i found a pair that i thought after that all my troubles would be gone (later getting my military benefits that solved basically everything) so today i have my military benefits (eg paycheck healthcare health insurance etc) and am a mostly happy worry free veteran (a huge part as a kid was mil beneficiary kids in public school guiding me to maybe a better future to hear warnings or suggestions too) maybe things like those cleats helped me get to where i am today (home owner too and a pretty good car that i have to pay off) it was actually a red pair of baseball cleats but i wore them for a few games and got my parents money's worth out of it and met a neighboring business in the process and they were warm gracious and kind and realso there's three personalities (i think those are all the 'old heads' here) i like here a korean veteran a light skinned manager and a black female cashier they're all very helpful and charming and inject style and taste to this place with good personalities and good attitudesso through the years i've had some great times here for example i remember once before i left for the army i found a awesome unisex leather jacket (it was dark red and had stitches all up the back and may have been a little like brad pitt in fight club before rethinking if that was a good movie or not) while i was rock and roll skinny (btw there were many things i saw here that i wanted that i was certain would help me i don't know if it was the kindness of charitable donors or social workers community efforts to guess but there's been times where their selection really nailed it) later when i was about to move to luray i found another leather jacket that was pretty chill um it reminded me of a picture of a newer music group i saw twice the orwellsone story was when i was on cavalier drive which is sort of a famous neighborhood in a way that's where there's some long term locals at like i think the founder of the 29 skate crew thing so i saw one family (the wife of a couple who lived really long) would regularly come here and load up with that in mind what i later thought was if it works for them it'll work for me so when i was having my awesome lively artistic days on the block (regular dc nightlife or hobbies too ergo family barbeque movies i shot) i'd come here and load up on some stuff to bring home sometimes just the novelty of it but there were times where i'd really read into it and think 'this is a great deal' 'this looks like this will actually work' 'this is really thought provoking' 'this'll probably circulate and it'll get used' 'yeah that makes sense' 'that saves me some time' 'this is better than the alternative'there could be a lot of good aspects and traits (firm prices quality goods rarities um) here that i appreciated i found some vinyl records for exampleam vets are by the fort hunt neighborhood and the newer costco i've rode my bicycle here before it's farther from outside the gate of fort belvoir it's off rt 1 it's on sherwood hall lane also it's by some section 8 housing and a church and police department too and the library is further outi've donated here before and thought that was probably rewarding too also the military style here is cool to think of that influence some korean things i really like are the barbeque another would be the celeb irwin winkler he did rocky”

“I had to drive to Fairfax to pick up an item on FB marketplace place. on the way home I did a search for thrift shops in the area and this was one of the few places on my way home. Typically I don’t shop at goodwill because I don’t find their prices and items to be of much value but I decided to stop and check it out. I’m glad I did. I found a great 5 person tent in good condition for $12.99. The furniture was also nice and fairly priced, I found the clothes to also be fairly priced, at other thrifts it’s not uncommon now to find jeans priced at $14-16 which is what I pay for new jeans at Ross. If you’re in the area it’s certainly worth a look 👀!”

“I'm very passionate about thrift stores and so when I stumbled upon unique I was very excited. I went a little overboard ha ha. My friend just had her second kid so I spent a lot of time back in the kids section... They have a very large selection of gently used kids clothing at super reasonable prices so I was able to spoil my friend's kids without breaking the bank. The good thing about toddlers is that they grow out of clothes so quickly that most of the clothes we got looked almost brand new. For myself I found that they have a nice selection of plus size clothing for women and I left with a number of new items. They give you a discount on different days of the week and if you bring in items to donate, so I always come in with things to give away which is a good excuse to clear out my closet before I add a bunch of new stuff to it”
“Very cute thrift store, looks small but has lots of things. Found some very good clothing and jewelry pieces. These owners are so very kind. You can pay with card also.”
