Humble Heart Thrift Store

Very nice store! I went today looking for books. Found a roomful of them, all kinds of books. They arent organized in any way, so you need to spend time there, but you’ll find great books. They have lots of clothes and housewares as well. There are lots of homeless people around, and that could be a deterrent for somebody, they they seem harmless. I go there early and nobody bothers me for money or anything. Good place.

Heh. a lot changed in such short amount of time i think its been only two weeks and well for starters the first time I came here they had a buy one get one free sale. So i called ahead to make sure it was still going on and it was. the first time I was here I bought a bunch of stuff and when they applied the sale they marched items that were the same price for example the for each item that i got for $ 3 i got another item that was also $ 3 for free and and the items that were $ 1 i got another free one that was also $ 1
Im not sure if this is making any sense
so lets say i got four $ 3 items and four $ 1 items i got two $ 3 items and two $ 1 for free in total paying $ 8 and well this time it was different if i got four $ 3 items and four $ 1 items i got charged for all the $ 3 items and got the $ 1 items for free in total paying $ 12 which i mean you might say that im being cheap but im just giving examples and if they do the sale a certain way they should do it that same way every time
in that case just pair up your same price items and pay separate its going to be cheaper also the café i got iced tea the first time and it was actual tea and this time it was arizona tea (all sugar) idk. I wasnt happy with this last visit i felt that i was cheated on plus i was told that they get new items every week bla bla and they had the same stuff.

Everyone working in this store were super sweet & very helpful! I would recommend anyone in the area to go check this place out, and help support a great ministry! Women & children’s clothing were Buy 1 Get 1, and they had an awesome selection of books as well! If I lived in San Diego, I’d be a repeat customer!

Went here a couple of weeks ago and you feel the love and reap the benefits of the heart behind the store right away. In talking to the workers and the owners son, I knew this store is all about giving back. You’ll notice all the reviews of everything being cheap and it is! It’s that way because their heart is to really clothe and fulfill the needs of others. Along with walking away with treasures, you’ll be ready to seize the day! I left with about 15 items for 17 bucks. All clothes, but they had tons of records, books and household items as well. A plus is also their parking lot, which I didn’t utilize but should have because there was plenty of space.

Get in here. Even if it’s not as big a goodwill… its a wonderful place. It’s proceeds go to taking care of people who are on hard times and don’t have a home… oh Ya and it’s only for those who are 21 and younger. They have a pretty good selection of items so get in here and check it out.

I went here today for my first time (love thrifting!) I purchased two jackets and a sweatshirt. They had but one get one free! I also got a cameo necklace which I adore for $ 2 and a military discount :-) thanks guys !
A+++++

I recently just got back into thrift shopping, I have to say this is my favorite so far! They have a large selection of clothes, everything is organized too. A big plus is there is parking, you don’t have to drive around looking for parking in the down town madness.

I went in looking for a Halloween costume and walked out with a potential costume, some decorations, a used book, and a chair — which they helped me carry to my pad. Very cool staff and enormous selections.

Humble Heart is my favorite thrift store EVER. It has two locations, One downtown between Island and Market on 16^th and another at Fairmount and El Cajon Blvd (Next to UCP thrift store – Which UCP charges out the WAZOO. One time I saw something I had donated and it was priced higher than what I had purchased for it.)
Downtown has amazing things for amazing prices! Pretty much everything is around $ 2. If you take the time to search, you will find AMAZING one-​of-​a-​kind items.
At the El Cajon Blvd location, EVERYDAY they have ½ off of all women’s and children’s clothing (good looking out!) At the downtown location, they usually have buy one get on free on women’s and children’s clothes and they also have specials everyday. You can get an extra 25% off of whatever day it is. (Furniture, electronics, household items etc). There is something for every day of the week.
This is hands down the best thrift store in SAN DIEGO!
Friendly staff as well, and knowledgeable about their store.
The location downtown is located by where a lot of homeless are, but just go into the store and lock your car doors as you would anywhere. They are harmless.
At the El Cajon Blvd location (4323 El Cajon Blvd; San Diego, CA (619) 528‑1111), parking can be kind of tough, but if you round the corner onto Fairmount, there is parking behind UCP thrift store. Just park there and then go to Humble heart.
You can negotiate at Humble Heart too.
TIP: If looking for something specific, call first. The staff will look for you and can set it aside if you’d like. This is helpful if you are like me and go into a store for one thing and come out with lots of others (and not leave with what you came for). I get sucked in. I don’t know about you ;)
There is a 50 cent charge on credit card and debit card transactions if under $ 5 and you can put your bicycle inside the store

Wow! I love this place! First time here and I am very impressed! Very low prices, unlike the other thrift stores around here (GOODWILL) super friendly and very organized! My new favorite thrift shop!

He has specials every day :)

This thrift store has personality. I went to pick up some clothing racks for a community garage sale but ended up looking through the entire store. The employees here have put in a lot of work to organize items into whimsically themed rooms. The staff was cheerful and helpful and made my visit enjoyable. This is a great shop!

I’m in it for the selection of books here. It’s scattered, but they’re unique, slightly vintage but cheap, cheap and cheap.
Certainly, I will be making several rounds here.

Great selection! Lots of great finds here. Better than other thrift stores in the area for both selection and service. I only wish they had a record player to use with all those records!

This place is very charming and pleasant. First, it has it’s own parking lot which is amazing for downtown. The staff was helpful and pleasant. I love hat it is a church based organization and not all about profit. There were a lot of books and furniture. They even had a separate room for electronics. It was like a museum of the electronics of yesteryear. The clothing was priced fairly. Very happy will return.

I was so excited to visit this store and so disappointed when I arrived. I felt like I stepped back in time, it was sort of dark and dingy inside. It was pretty small, and the prices were average. The staff were very welcoming though, everybody was friendly. They didn’t have the selection of other nearby thrift stores, and I didn’t feel very safe walking here on foot. Maybe it was an off day?

Very nice staffs at Humble Heart. I’ll go here again when I need cheap household items.

Great selection. Huge Store!

This is the only place where I bring donations in San Diego!
The staff here is warm and friendly — and it has totally encouraged me to come back time and again with anything that I’d like to give away.
It’s super convenient because they have always accepted everything I’ve brought here, whether it’s books, jewelry or clothing. When you’re in the process of moving and simplifying your massive amount of possessions, it’s such a relief to be able to quickly and easily drop everything off that you no longer need or want.
The free parking lot right in front is awesome for downtown, so don’t worry about having to search like crazy for a spot or deal with metered parking on your visit here.

I really was impressed by this place. The benefit itself had me sold because I’m all about helping out the needy. And come to find that 50% off already thrifted items on womens clothing I found a really nice designer giraffe printed purple and black cardigan (:
On top of the awesome customer service, my husband found a unique 14lb bowling ball with bowling bag for $ 7 good condition! And I would know because I work at a bowling alley.
I liked the fact that it was categorized by room! If you take your time to look you’re bound to find something really great for an awesome price. I’m new to thrifting, and after seeing a couple high priced reasonable and the ever so low priced this shop by far beats it ! They have a furniture room electronic room kids toys room frames all over walls mirrors etc !
I can’t stress this enough, this was a really good hit for a good benefit. They give free blankets and what nots to the needy.
In my haul I bought:
Purple black designer cardigan $ 4
Polaroid old school camera $ 4
Wrapped vintage floral picture frame $ 2
Red 14lb bowling ball $ 7
Leopard print 3−6m footsie pj $ 2
All for less than 20 $ (:
I’m satisfied. Enough said.
