I thrift for almost everything, but especially clothes and shoes for my son and myself. I even blog about it! (cough cough...) So when a friend suggests that I try a new thrift store I am immediately excited beyond belief and a bit apprehensive. But mostly excited. I went to Community Thrift on Noblestown AND on Babcock and they are probably my new FAVORITE thrift stores. The are organized well, and I have never left without finding at least 2 or 3 amazing items. I think the prices are fair for the most part- and this is from someone who is a social worker and is not paying more than six bucks for a dress. I am working as we speak- kind of- and plan to go visit the store right after work today :)

We drove over a hour to get there because it was a recommended thrift store on Facebook. when we got there the lady behind the desk was rude and laughed in my moms face when she asked where the bathroom was. The store was not handicap friendly. The store had too much stuff blocking the aisles for a person using a wheelchair or a walker to get thru and there was no store wheelchair for someone to use while shopping. Mom and i can normally spend $30 at a thrift store but mom only found 1 thing she liked there. They have a no return no exchange policy so buy at your own risk. It was not worth the hour-and-a-half drive (in traffic) we made to get there.

If I were to open a #THRIFTCENTER it would be a lot like this. Lots of cool stuff and some other things. The way people were carting items (me included) out of the store, they are obviously doing something right. I found some art and a lamp. FIRST VISIT! That is no small feat. Yeah, Ill be back. Dont be a bargain jerk, its unseemly. Take a deep breath and stroll through all the goodness. May 16-UPDATE: Ive been back a couple more times since my initial visit. Super Score on more groovy stuff! Sassy (in the best way!) people behind the register. We laughed a lot while they carefully wrapped up my haul! Im a fan!

Terrible is all I can say. The store refused to accept U.S. legal tender five dollar bill because it was pre-security strip era. The manager said it was company policy, yet when I asked to see the policy, he said it is unwritten.What type of community thrift charges more than new a lot of times (Ive seen things priced at $2.00 with an original store sticker for .79) and not accept legal tender for payment? I was instructed to go to the bank and exchange the five dollar bill that I just received in change from the store across the street.All for a 4.20 item.

I work here & shop here. I can honestly say the prices at this thrift store are BEYOND reasonable. Im an avid thrifter/ flea market pirate & this store really aquires some awesome finds & prices them far lower than other stores I have worked/ attended in the area. Plus every wednesday the "top"/oldest color tag goes on sale for 75% off with one color at 50% & one at 25%. Not to mention that there are always 2 color tags on sale for 50% off the other 6 days of the week with a color at 25% off as well.

Like the items in the place but they need to learn what "THRIFTstore" means. They price things way to high that the poor people cant afford half of it. I mean everything in donated free of charge so WHY must they mark it up as high as the things I can get brand new at like GABES or the Dollar Store???? They are also very rude before closing they shut down the heat or a.c. turn off music and really PUSH to get you out the door.

Wish I could give less stars. The absolute worst atmosphere to work in. I could write a book about all the fraud that goes on there. I worked there years and years ago and had a flashback to the bullshit I dealt with which is why Im writing this. For example, finding heroin needles in the back bathroom by the books/electronics, pretty sure they belonged to the owner. Ill never go back there.

Fair priced but offers a small selection of everything youd need from chairs to brandy glasses. In December they are fully stocked with all sorts of Christmas lights and decor for almost nothing. Plus when you check out you get a coupon for $1 off your next visit. Parking can be a bit of a problem as this place does get busy. However it is right on the bus line if you need to take it.

Dont get me wrong, they have a great selection! But the items in here are way overpriced! Also, a lot of the clothing is labeled incorrectly (wrong size on tags) and you better make sure you check the size on the manufacturer label because once you but it they wont accept returns, even though it was obviously false advertisement and their mistake!

Prices are way too high for a thrift store... Its not uncommon to see an item like an air conditioner marked for $75... the same one new at Wal Mart for $90. Considering these people are taking donations, their prices should be MUCH lower than what they have now.

I love your thrift store....! I come often and am so lucky to find items to compliment the vintage look of my home I am restoring. Now my daughter is hooked too! Everyone is friendly and helpful.... They know I am a regular browser and a definite lucky buyer!

Thrift stores have been declining fast, but this one is still a favorite of mine. It has a nice selection of vintage audio. The records and tapes are what Id call "almost organized". They have plenty of clothes and knick knacks too.

This is a great community thrift center! You can always find something there. Their pricing varies so you can find some deals, but some of the things are over priced. I love going just to look we call it going on a treasure hunt.

Huge selection, great prices. They really need fitting rooms - I got my haul home and tried it on and discovered that 3 things didnt fit/look at all good on me. If they would get fitting rooms it would be a 5 star review.

Sort of disappointing. I had seen the place on a Facebook post for unusual and vintage gifts and yes they had a few things that were but overall pretty underwhelming. The place was pretty clean though.

Huge store, lots of selection, prices are fair. Definitely worth a stop. We would have stopped at the other location if we would have had more time in Pittsburgh.
