It seems like I find myself here every Halloween season, be it in search of a costume or on some random errand. This year was no different.
+ Organized and clean for the most part; clothes are sorted by gender, then item, then color, then size.
+ Convenient location near the mall.
- Bathroom smell prevalent on my last visit.
- Painfully slow checkout lines.
- Overpriced. Well-worn clothes from chains like Target and Old Navy are retailing for about half of what they were new. Faded old t-shirts with no design are $2.99; at Walmart you can buy them brand new for $3.
Sometimes you'll come across a great find (newish men's Levi's for $8 on my last visit), but more often than not I leave empty-handed or buying out of desperation for a costume. If I'm going to spend $10+ dollars on an item of clothing I'm probably just going to buy it new. Maybe I'd feel better about the prices if I knew exactly how much of my purchase was going directly to help people in need?
