St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store

When I am in the neighborhood I stop in and I am always disappointed. I have never purchased anything from this store, they just never have anything I am interested in. This time when I went there was some strange person sitting on the sidewalk in front of the doors, looking like a reject from woodstock.
The place was cram packed full of furniture, to the point that it was near impossible to get through the store and I was wondering if there might be some violation of fire code, since it was like a maze inside.
I don’t know why I bother going here.

I live across the street from this thrift store, and I’m pretty big on thrift shops so I was pretty excited about it, but lets get real charging $ 80 for a sofa in a thrift store? They do post discounts on their whiteboard outside but nearly half of the items for sale say ‘N.D’ or ‘No Discount’ on them. I’ve been in about 10 times or so and I’ve never purchased anything. I’ve been interested in quite a few things but after I got excited to see something half off only to see a little ‘n.d.’ On the tag, needless to say I was disappointed. Won’t be returning.

My wife and I bought a king sized mattress, brand new in packaging for cheap cheap cheap. The rest of the selection had some gems throughout, but few and far in between. Most of the «good» stuff that was in there was either being held or sold. But we got what we needed, and with some persuasion, we got help carrying to our car! all in all, a very good trip~

This is a nice little thrift store. The clerks aren’t real friendly but they have a wide variety of merchandise for mostly reasonable prices and I always find a few things to buy. As with any thrift store, you just never know what they will have in stock on any given visit so it’s worth it to just stop by once in awhile to see what’s new.

***This place is a thrift shop***
Me: (Picks up cute charmingly tacky martini-​emblazoned flannel pajama sleep set and takes it to register) «Excuse me, ma’am — how much is this?»
Employee: «Fifteen dollars»
Me: (Picks jaw up from floor) «I’m sorry, WHAT!!!»
Employee: «Fifteen dollars»
Me: (Incredulously) «I’m sorry, did you say fifteen dollars!!!»
Employee: «Yes. It’s a great deal because they are brand new.»
I can get cheaper nightwear in retail shops by simply utilizing my super-​excellent bargain hunting instincts. Or by freaking cruising a Target on the weekend. So I left. I didn’t stay more than 5 minutes.
From what I saw, they were well-​organized though small, but the woman attempting to convince me to pay retail for crappy jammies whilst in a thrift store was too much. But I can’t give one star to a thrift store run by a religious non-​profit. I’d probably burn extra hot in hell per God’s request. Yeah, she’d be pissed.
