I've been thrifting for many years, and unfortunately this store is no longer one of my regular…read morestops. Over time I've noticed prices steadily increasing to the point that many items are priced at or above what I can find online. In my experience, pricing often appears to be based on asking prices rather than actual sold values, which makes it difficult to find genuine thrift-store bargains. Many collectible items seem to remain in the display case for weeks or months without selling, suggesting the pricing may not reflect current market demand. Selection can be hit or miss, and I rarely leave feeling like I've found a great deal anymore. While some staff members have always been kind and helpful, the overall shopping experience feels much less welcoming and community-oriented than it once did. As someone who both shopped and donated here, I've decided to take my business and future donations elsewhere. I personally recommend checking out Thrifters Rock or Family Thrift in Palmer, where I've had better luck finding reasonably priced merchandise.

We have been loyal customers of the Deuce ever since we moved here two years ago…read more It is one of the better second hand stores. There's not much to it. Folks donate junk they don't want, we show up and buy it. Charities benefit. If they've over priced, we decide how badly we want it and factor in that all proceeds benefit a cause. This store is really well organized with a huge variety of junk. Prices are great, especially for clothes. They have a massive dvd and book collection. Even a nice selection of Alaska based writings. Take care, remember it's donated stuff other people didn't want. Sometimes that means damaged or in need of repair. Buy accordingly. I know it's for a cause, but there are times when it's fun to dicker, especially when something's broke and so are we! I've bought cool shot glasses, growlers, tools and OSU Buckeye dolls. I've even found my favorite candy bars at a nice price. Even at their peak the line moves quickly so it's a very efficient process. The folks are fun to deal with, super friendly! 08/23

However, their prices have been climbing and my last 3 loads of topsoil (15 yards, purchased over a year-and-a-half span) contained way too much gravel. They do not screen their topsoil as well as many other processors. I won't purchase topsoil from them again. There are cheaper as well as better quality options in the area.

We wished we had more time to shop what seemed to be some interesting items. My daughter found some cool anime key chains. I found some unique key chains as well. I found this really cool drawer pull, but did not want the whole bag that it was in. The lady behind the counter let me have the one thing I liked for a dollar. That wise nice of her. She recommended places to eat. She was also friendly. We recommend this store to everyone who loves thrifting. We will come back next time we are in town.

I love this book store for a few different reasons, but haven't been in until recently…read more One, I read online about people hating the drag story time for families in Anchorage and Wasilla, but Taylor Jordon continued to host despite ongoing threats. No discrimination here. Two, she does not ban books and continues to support during banned book week, which for 2025 happens to be Oct. 5-11. RESIST! During discussion with another customer, Taylor mentioned the shop hosting two different book clubs, and one is currently reading 1984. Coincidence, much? Methinks not. Three, she hires homeless youth, and is the only bookbinder in Alaska. I bought a cute hand made book bag for $10, and is perfect for my knitting projects, shopping, or whatever. Will come again, and must recommend.

The attention to customers is great. Friendly and helpful. Nicely laid out and accessible. Good…read moreprices.

They obviously care for their customers and work hard to get them what they're looking for. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality jewelry at an affordable price.
