They are…read moreconsistent in what you will experience. 1) scent: really have I experienced that thrift store smell whenever I go into a 2nd Ave. thrift store. This one is the same. So they get four stars for that. 2) selection: the store was well stocked, and I found a few things I was looking for and a few things I wasn't but realize I needed 3) size: I called is a superstore, but compared to the store tomorrow it's about half the size. It wasn't as small as some of the Goodwills but I don't know that I would call it a superstore. 4) prices: as 2nd Ave. always does. There are two colors that were 50% off so if you can find those you'll get some great deals. Otherwise the prices were decent. It seems as though many thrift stores have raised their prices, but I wouldn't say the prices were outrageous or unreasonable. 5) location: it was relatively easy to find, and had a sufficient amount of parking. 6) service: I appreciate the self check out that they offer. And the staff was responsive and helpful when I was looking for a couple of items in the store. Overall, this is absolutely worth a stop, and I will likely be back.

My first time visiting 2nd Avenue Thrift on Allentown Road was such a disappointment. I was taken…read moreaback, turned off, and shocked by the prices of the items in this THRIFT store. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The prices at this store reminded me of my good decision to stop donating to thrift stores. I have now started donating ONLY to centers and facilities that TRULY help their communities, and therefore ALL of the items that I donate are free to their customers. The organizations that I now donate to are strictly geared towards helping true low income and less fortunate. The prices at the store are the prices that you would find in regular store AND intentional high priced stores. This store receives donations FOR FREE, AT NO COST TO THEM, AND YET THEIR PRICES ARE MERELY A DISHONEST RACKET. It was very disappointing to see that this store is obviously run by persons who seek to profit excessively and exceedingly from the kindness and generosity of others. I should NEVER see art work at any thrift store for $129.00 that is not the authentic art work of Picasso. I should NEVER see a water jug for $124.00 , even a large one. I should never see a cat sculpture for $69.00. I should never see an 8x10 picture frame for 9.99 (this is the same amount that I would pay at a store for a brand NEW frame). I should never see cookware for $34.00. As I walked through this thrift store, my shock progressed to disgust. This store truly needs to be regulated. Their prices are unheard of when it comes to a thrift store. This particular thrift store truly needs to be investigated and regulated. I can't support dishonesty and mere greed. There are other thrift stores that do have prices that are too high for a store that receives all of their items for free, but I've never been to even ONE, that demonstrates this level of GREED. Shame on 2nd Avenue Thrift Store on Allentown Road. Shame, Shame, Shame on them. ‍‍‍‍

What I can tell you is this -- I came here looking for decent suits and I found *many* of them. Racks and racks full of suits. I tried on around 10, I bought six of them. In that group of six, only *one* will need alterations. That's right -- five suits bought and ready to wear for right around $100. I've been to a bunch of thrift stores in the DMV. Really, look at my other reviews. Bottom line -- if you want real variety in men's suits, I haven't found any place better yet. Yes, maybe some thrifts have *nicer* suits on a per capita basis, but at this store, you'll have a lot of options and if you have a relatively common body-type like mine, you can come away with a full closet if you want it.

Finally had a chance to check out red white and blue thrift store yesterday for the first time…read moreafter hearing about it a few years ago. it is cash only but they have an ATM within their premises if you forget cash. This thrift store is unbelievably organized and also incredibly overstimulating. We ended up having to cut our shopping trip short from just the shear amount of sites sounds and smells in there. However I came out feeling like I had scored an unbelievable thrift haul and got an amazing deal on a few things that I got there. I got a really great lamp for my daughter's room two matching pillows for her room as well. I got a knitted skirt for myself a pink Cuisinart ice cream maker a working Kindle for my daughter a pusheen book in almost new condition. a really nice small casserole dish with a lid that had a really pretty print and is oven dishwasher and microwave safe as as well as this really cute lucky cat bowl I got all of those for about $64 including tax. They also have tag deals which I appreciate since a lot of the thrift store nearby have been getting rid of them. The parking lot could be a little hectic so come prepared. Make sure you bring some extra time to sort through everything. next time, I'm definitely gonna go and spend more time on the clothing sections. The women's clothing at least is color coordinated so don't go looking in a specific size, go looking based on color. I went with my friend and she even got a rifle paper company rug for her brand new apartment. It was in really good condition and was such a beautiful find if she didn't get it I would!

The jury is out on whether B thrifty is really thrifty. While I found the store to be well…read moreorganized and clean, their prices on some things were ridiculous. Anything that's name brand such as a Tommy Hilfiger Used hoodie was $30. This was insane because it wasn't vintage and it was clearly used. Why would I pay $30 for something I can go get brand new at TJ Maxx or Ross? There were other name brand items such as Lucky brand or Adidas $20 and up. Count me out for those things. I thrift to dress for less and get some unique pieces. Now, I did find a few bargains that were reasonably priced. I scored a Michael Kors Cindy Large Saffiano leather satchel for $25. Before purchasing I checked with AI for its authenticity. Now, that was a deal because the retail price on this gently used bag is $300-$400 originally. I also scored a beautiful wool blend pink blazer I found in the men's section calling my name for $5, and a beautiful gold tie that I'm going to craft into something amazing! They advertise that on Tuesday you get 30% off if you're 50 or older with Id. It's posted as big as day outside of the store. I had to pay for my bag separately and this was honored. When I finished shopping and went to pay for my other items the cashier asked if I would like to sign up for a membership. I agreed since it's free. I reminded her about the 30% off and she said that my membership would not take affect for a week and I had to pay the regular price. The sign outside said nothing about being a member or on their mailing list. I asked to speak to her supervisor and she never came to the front. Another customer was kind enough to get my items so I could get the discount. B thirty do better. I don't live in the area and probably won't be back. I don't like some of their high price and that they don't honor their own policies about discounts.
