| - You know what? This was probably the coolest thrift store we've ever visited in the Phoenix Metro area! Much nicer than visiting a Savers or Goodwill, in my opinion. The prices were great, it was very clean and organized, and it didn't smell as bad as I'm used to! I usually hate going to thrift shops because of the smell. That probably sounds weird, but oh well! ;)
There was a great selection of just about everything, but we ended up not really getting anything at all. We still had fun looking through everything, though. My friend did actually end up getting this really cool solid carved wood pelican that was perfect for her nautical-esque themed room. It's crazy, but it fits her style. It actually isn't as ugly as it sounds, and it was only $1.99. She also told me she went back later and picked up a few more things since they had restocked in the short time after we had left. She also noticed that a few large pieces of furniture had sold in that same amount of time.
The staff was friendly and helpful as well, so that is also a plus. They were quick to get the pelican artwork down for us with a smile. Oh, and I think my friend also was able to find this huge baking sheet (practically brand new for super cheap!) that she is going to use when she decorates her gingerbread cookies during the holidays. I think it's too large for her to use for baking, but she said it will be perfect for her to set the freshly baked cookies on when she is decorating them.
Overall, we were both very satisfied with our journey to Value Village. Since she lives nearby, my friend said she is going to check this place out about once a week.
