This store is better than goodwill down the street thats for sure. Its not perfectly organized but is better organized than most the other stores and their prices are at least reasonable and decent most the time. Unlike GOODWILL where I have litteraly bought things then went to Walmart and found them to be cheaper than the used item I bought at goodwill. Plus salvation army ACTUALLY donates to charity unlike GOODWILL that doesnt. Dont believe me google the sht. I support salvation army.

Prices for every day items are either extremely close to retail and in some cases even above retail. I cant say the same is true for everything but what should be $.99 is six dollars. Items dating back to the 1970s are being priced the same as items dating to the 2000s regardless of the fact the technology know longer exists. I recommend the Merle hay store as this one seems to be living in a fantasy world.

Its kind of hit or miss if you will find things priced consistent with other stores. The quality of the clothing varies. Some items are stained or showing excessive wear. Items I would not find sellable. You have to really inspect the garments closely. You can find good bargains in good condition.

They just doubled the price of their childrens books and increased the price of the others. They have shelves and shelves of books. Somehow I dont think raising the prices will help sell books. Plus, I often ended up buying other things. Now they wont get a dime. Take your business elsewhere.

This location is a dump. It may have a lot of merchandise, but its in a poorly maintained building (the exterior looks nice, though). I think they can do better. Most of the shoppers here probably dont care how it looks anyways...

Great selection of clothing! And they also had two racks with 25 cent shirts! Only thing that wasnt so great was none of the clothes were separated by size. So you have to look through a whole rack which is about 48 ft long

It needs more organization as far as locating things. It always looks cluttered and not cleaned up properly. Second hand Goods for decent price. But the staff is always polite and always willing to help

Really great selection and very well organized but the dressing rooms are really sketchy (dirty/little privacy) and old guy followed my teen niecenaround the store.

Very big store, great finds and good prices. They have almost anything you need from clothes, jewelry, shoes, household items, books, furniture and more.

The store is huge. The prices and selection are fantastic. Something for everyone. Leave yourself some time. There is a lot to look at.

Love this store!!! Books, furniture, clothes, rugs, games, and so much more!! Every time I go, I spend at least 2 hours in there.

Tons of items at great prices for a thrift store. Not an easy store to navigate with children.

Its about like any other Salvation Army. They usually have a pretty good variety of things.
