| - I just stumbled across this great little thrift shop located in the Albertsons Shopping Center an decided to take a looksee.
I am always looking for ways to complete my crafts, DIY projects so thrift shopping makes it a lot more convenient and easier on the checkbook. For one if I mess up there is not much of a loss (just my hurt ego).
I find it surprising on how some of the more well-known second hand stores, price their donations. There are many times I leave feeling ripped off rather than a smart shopper. Some of the other competitors will give you discount coupons for your donations which helps but otherwise pretty pricey at times. And I get that it's a business, but lucky form me I have found a great alternative in Catholic Charities.
They have specials all the time like half off on a specific colored tag or on some occasions $1 shoes if the original pricing is under $5. They have a display case full on nick-knacks, racks of clothing, shoes, kitchen wear, furniture, electronics and so much more. I have found some great almost new items to furniture pieces to refurbish or repurpose.
Best of all it is priced right with no sales tax. Sure like any thrift shop, you are not always going to get lucky with great finds, but when you do, at least here you can find the pricing to be fair.
This place is going to be one of my first choice thirft stores when shoping and donating because I believe they have right concept.
