They have almost anything you think you may need and if they don't, they'll have it next week. They have a sale going on right now the entire store is 50% off and you cannot beat that. They also run different sales throughout the year. There's A LOT of items but it's not messy- everything is organized and labeled. In addition to the wide variety of items and prices, the volunteers and employees have been so kind to me. Victor delivered a couch and chair and I'm so grateful for the help! I'm in there almost every week. Be prepared to spend at least an hour in there. You can't beat it!

Okay so I love bargain shopping and frequent many of the local bin & wholesale shops in Lake…read moreCounty. TruSave is one of the cleanest and most organized bin stores I have found. They take pride in their offerings. They have a section of used & donated goods for resale all neatly displayed and hung up. I have found 2 authentic Coach purses in great condition for only $5 each!!! Then they have a retail section in which you can grab brand new items from the shelf just like at a big box store but at a vastly discounted price. I have already purchased many items that will be under my tree. Now for the best part, they have bins which contain anything & everything. All items in the bins are a flat price based on the day of the week, Fri $10 - Sat $8 - Sun $6 - Mon $4 - Tues $2 you then decide if you want the item at $10 on Fri or take a chance to see if it's still there for $2 Tues. I have found some amazing brand new items on my last couple of Friday visits such as a $278 Michael Kors wallet, $470 foot/leg circulation machine, $169 roller skates, $60 under cabinet pullout organizer and MANY more all for $10 or less!!!

I liked this place. A pleasant surprise. I walked in the one…read moredoor and thought oh boy. It looked like a little place with the clothes jam packed. Not much room to get around them. As I walked a little farther I noticed another big warehouse type room. This room had some furniture and bins and shelves of odds and ends. You do have to do some digging. They things I got were reasonably priced. I purchased some cloth ribbons and linen. The gentleman at the counter was kind and talkative. Friday's are seniors 25% off. I would make the ride out again to go there.

But not for me. I had to put these photos i took somewhere because they're so awful it's funny. The label on their "pet items" section is the worst AI image I've ever seen on my life. It's truly embarrassing to fathom someone printing this out and hanging it up and thinking this looks good or professional. Oh, and there was a basket of toys at the front that said "for kids only" so toy collectors beware, they hate you. Lol.

My daughter has a shopping problem and after the holidays her closet with bursting with clothes…read more When she couldn't possibly fit another thing in her closet I suggested she clean it out and I offered to sell the clothes..and let her keep the money. I was hoping this would encourage her to do more closet cleanouts more often! She filled 2 large garbage bags of trendy teen clothes (Brandy Melville, Edikted, Aritzia and more). I told her I'd bring them to Plato's Closet. She warned me that she saw on TikTok that Plato's is super picky and rejects most clothes, but I was thinking how could they possibly reject all these barely warn clothes from the most popular teen brands. I expected to show up, have them go thru the clothes and pay me right away, but when i got there I noticed there was a process. You scan the QR code, leave the bags of clothes and then they text you when they are ready for you to pick up your cash plus anything they don't want. They said it wold take about 30 minutes so I decided to just wait in my car since it took me about that time to get to Plato's from home. As promised, 30 minutes later they updated me that everything had been sorted so I headed back in. They handed me back 2 full bags of clothes which clearly meant they didn't take much. And they gave me $58 for what they did take. They didn't actually show me what they took, but they said they were mostly looking for summer clothes (in January) so most of the rejections were fall/winter. They told me to come back in a few months with fall/winter clothes, but i wanted this stuff out of my house so dropped it at good will later that day where I hope they all went to good use. When I gave my daughter the $58 and told her they rejected most I got a "i told you so." I don't think this was enough money to encourage regular closet cleanouts, but maybe worth going back every so often with after a very large cleanout. I did browse a bit while I was in there and I saw a lot of clothes that my daughter was like. It all looked to be in great condition and all her favorite brands. I know a lot of teens like to shop here and i can see why, although clearly we don't need to add anything to my daughter's closet.

Plan on enough time to dig through the many layers of clothes tightly packed on racks, the owners plan on expanding the store since its popularity and hope they succeed.
