The prices are very reasonable, I paid $6 for linen pants and $10 for a fuzzy pullover. The staff is so incredibly friendly and kind, and all proceeds go to support a local hospital. I would absolutely recommend stopping by!

I have successfully visited the shop twice in four years, and I wish the hours were less random and less confusing. Sometimes, it's closed, even though the website says it's open. It is a great cause and a place that I would drop things off more frequently if they had a better ability to do so. It would be great if there was a way to generate volunteers, as I'm sure many would support with ours and Intern, they would be able to generate more business.

It is worth waiting in line to be first in - first out. Bring cash to make it a simple check out. I love seeing new Grandparents shop - great way to save on items you may only need for visits. Barnes & Noble & Amazon charge a small fortune for books - our selection is awesome & a fraction of the investment. My daughter has always been thrilled to get a great big bag of toys - it has helped her to understand 'value'. This sale includes lots of real families trying to recycle and be charitable at the same time. Hope you will join us for a true power shopping experience!

I got two loaves of sliced homemade gourmet Tuscan garlic bread for sandwiches. They had areas with clearance prices, new clothes, and select items. I didn't find any deals there and didn't want any of those items. Regular prices items were great finds. I got clay pots for plants $1 each. A new puzzle box still sealed for $4. An oracle deck in mint condition for $2. A large black velvet scarf for $2. Paperback books for 50 cents. A travel jewelry case for $2. They were all in good condition or new. The parking lot can be overcrowded due to the Islamic Center of worship beside it. Traffic can be very busy there as well. People looking for designer deals may not like this place, because they price them at fair not low prices. Book prices are the best at this thrift store if you like buying books. Vintage & collector books are priced fairly and NOT at a low price. This is a place I would consider going to again for plant pots and the books, as well as the baked bread. Overall, five stars for this thrift store.

Updating because the last two times I was there I was treated so poorly. On a Saturday my kid asked…read moreto stop in on our way home. I told her yes but we had to be quick. I knew I was going in 15 minutes before closing but I was going to honor the time. I work retail and have worked thrift stores so I know what it's like to want to leave on time. I was not greeted with a hello or hi. I was greeted with a very curt and rude "we close in 15 minutes". Fine. Whatever. But within the next five minutes I got 2 more time reminders. At this point my kid had stuff she wanted but it did not meet the $5 minimum sale requirement for debit/credit. So I was trying to find something else quickly so we could go. However I wasnt going to buy something just to buy it and toss it. That's wasteful. It was still 10 minutes before close and they were just staring at me. I told my kid that we would just come back and get stuff another day. The lady with the short red hair said very loudly "sorry kiddo mom doesn't have any money". Which let me tell you pissed me off. I had the money and consistently spend $25-$50 a trip when they have a fully stocked store. I just couldn't find enough junk to meet their minimum this time. Also I find that to be incredibly rude and insensitive since their whole organization is to help people in poverty. I mean, I've waited in line while customers have counted out pennies to fill the gap of what their lcac vouchers wont cover. So way to be incredibly insensitive on top of rude. Theres no excuse for that. I just walked out at that point. Took a few weeks before I came back in because I was so upset. This time I came in with two big boxes of donations because I was tired of trying to sell stuff online. Two big boxes of name brand plus size clothes - some with tags. I got zero help as well as zero hello or hi or anything. No hey can we hold the door for you? No can we help? No thank you. Nothing At this point I dont know if they are just assuming its junk because of my appearance (tattoos, piercings) or if they just dont really care to be polite and offer good customer service anymore. I dont know what's going on here but there used to be a pretty solid crew of nice ladies working here and now it's nothing but a bunch of rude women. My donations and business will be going elsewhere.

As I walk around with my son, another elderly woman employee is walking in the back area, also no greeting. Now I approach one of the only two clothing racks they have for men and she makes sure to come over and still never greets me, but I guess she had to make sure someone of my ethnicity wasn't going to try to steal something. As I get my son to walk out, a person of the "right complexion" walks in and what do you know, greeted properly by the woman making sure I wasn't taking anything. Unbelievable!

I like all of the plates and decorative items near the entrance, but the sections of items are not clearly labeled and I'm unsure of the logic of the organization. Paintings are also scattered on the first and second floors - hanging items in general aren't organized well. Photo frames, especially the small ones, are overpriced in my opinion. The appliance section is very limited and I haven't seen much of anything worth buying. I haven't really interacted too much with the people working there, but I've never had any issues with checking out. Most of the items worth checking out are by the front, but I've found some great clothing and artwork in the back areas. Plus, they have discounts on select items that changes on a regular basis. Overall, a typical thrift store and a fun stop if you're visiting Old Town Alexandria.

The staff is one of the most professional and knowledgeable in customer etiquette and in organizational & pricing skills. They are very thorough in curating & displaying high quality items, researching the items displayed, and placing a fair price on items sold. Some of the items are priced at what may seem outrageously expensive yet it is not. Mint condition or well known high quality items are priced at 50% (most of the time) of their selling price online used or new ( at this thrift store's highest amount price). I found an elegant Mikasa bowl for $8 there that seemed over priced, yet it is selling for $60 online used and a discontinued style. If you want dirt cheap and super low prices, you are better off going to a yard sale, typical thrift store, gimme a five, or general dollar store for a bargain or steal if you want items at a low price. If you are looking to resell items for profit, I would NOT recommend this place as well. According to my experience, the most superb deals and low priced items sold here are usually low key high quality luxury brands and not desired or well known by the general public. Once in a blue moon, you will find rare and spectacular items at a stellar price; even though, you might not realize it until you research or know the item's worth. I have purchased a vintage Rolex brand leather - brand new wallet with fine detailed & metal engraved hardware for only $4 there. I just bought it because it was red, real leather, and well made. I also found a low key yet high quality British luxury brand - new leather - wallet for $3.75 there too. Retro style curvy wood bar chairs for $35 each - was one of my most desirable finds here. I couldn't find the exact chair online because it might be vintage or no longer manufactured. The closest duplicate to it was priced at $244 a chair and had an unattractive cut out design on the chair back. Their book selection is always amazing and always have a buy two books & get one free deal. I always find the best giant coffee table photography books there and fascinating books. Another rare yet wonderful find here is vintage vinyl records in mint condition for $1 each. It took me a long time to write a review for this store, because I didn't think it was like your usual thrift store. It seemed that most of the items I was drawn to were consignment boutique or antique store prices - not at my price range except for the books and certain items. I realized this thrift store excels in customer service and had a lot of hidden gems & high quality items in the end that people usually disregard.

Two stars for cute clothes…read more Zero stars for gossipy staff who completely ignored me while I was in the store (including when I had to edge around one staff member who was blocking the doorway). Not even a "hello." I am fairly certain the staff members took one look at my Saturday outfit and decided I couldn't afford the items in this store. Wrong. (Not Julia-Roberts-in-Pretty-Woman-level-wrong, but wrong nonetheless). Dear staff, I don't really care why you were both complaining about the myriad poorly behaved children you have encountered lately, or the poor parenting choices leading to said poorly behaved children. I would have bought the cute jean jacket I was looking at if you had deigned to acknowledge me. You didn't. So I'm getting it online. Management- train your staff members.
