Organised, I noticed right away this shop was packed with items, the prices may have something to do with that. Do not expect reasonable second hand price points at this shop. Items that are normally bundled are sold separately ( see photos), used kitchen items are higher priced than rummage sales.Brick-a-brack, dust catchers are spendy, many are hobby lobby quality, beat up dressers are priced over 40 dollars. Noticed most shoppers where not adding items to carts while I was in the store.

There were so many items I almost bought... but the prices were about 30% too high, sometimes more. I’m a person who almost always leaves the thrift store with a full cart.Guessing they built too fancy of a building and have to make up the cost somewhere? Just insane.If my math is correct they’d make more money if they priced items lower and actually had high turnover. On *donated* inventory. Ah well. There are plenty of other local thrift options that support good causes. Don’t bother here.

Clean, organized and easy shopping. The prices are a little high but I don't mind paying a little more for the better shopping experience. The Goodwill in town is fair prices but so crowded and very difficult to not feel claustrophobic. I understand the Salvation Army pays a higher rent for the building so I don't mind paying a little more to shop there.

A nice variety of clothes, purses, shoes, and other items. All items are categorized by size, which is super helpful when you are looking for something consignment or at a thrift store.

Wow. The prices at this place are ludicrous! I recently went in after not having been there for 6 months and they had the same products (electronics) at the same crazy price. I mean come on, $50.00 for any used good is extreme but this store lives by high prices..donated items are priced as brand new if not more! I think I'll go to Walmart and buy new and save some money..greedy as hell at used to be good ol' Salvies.

Salvation Army used to be the last good thrift store in the area, but have turned to the dark side. You cannot view DVDs or games without permission from the staff. Everything is overpriced by 50%-100%. I stop in roughly once a week and the merchandise on the floor never changes.

The prices here are insane. About the only thing that was priced properly is the cart of stuffed toys as you walk in the door.There are several items that I found new on Amazon for less than they were asking here.By the way the stuffed animals in the cart were free.This place is a joke!!!!

Noticed much higher pricing during last management change. Slow moving with getting donations out on floor to sell. Same stuff daily.Do enjoy some of the friendly employees. You know who you are. Keep it up. It helps.

I enjoy supporting our local Salvation Army. Stopped quick to hunt for a couple items. They have a ton of items to hunt through. If you enjoy stopping at garage sales you will love stopping here.

Went to purchase vhs tapes for my friend who is disabled and the lady who checked me out was very rude and charged $1 per tape stating they were Disney tapes however 5 of the 6 were universal studios and on their board it started that vhs tapes were 25¢ when brought to the lady's attention she was very rude and ignored me rather than going there I recommend the good will down the street as they have vhs tapes 10 for $1

Like to check out what they have every now and then and the best part is that all the money you spend here stays local.

Terrible service. Girls that worked there were very rude and there is a lot of over priced items. They treated us very badly as we asked a question about a record player and they snapped at us. Terrible never coming back
