    Deseret on Aurora Avenue North in Shoreline has been one of my primary thrift stores over the past 20 years or so. It is close to the house and has served as a place to shop for every day items, clothes, and items for special occasions. Growing up, it was either the first or one of the first places I would go if I needed clothes with a certain functionality, including for school play(s)/costumes, manual labour, and garments to adhere to a certain dress code. Offerings outside of clothing, accessories, and shoes, have yielded neat finds, tending to have breadth and depth in what is available. We have gone through the donations process a few times and the workers have been helpful and dropping items off straightforward. I have encountered a few problems at check-out/payment, though the workers tend to do a good job of handling the issue. Today, Friday 1 September 2023, I got three DVDs at $2.00 each ($6.00 total) and when I went to check out the cashier entered 6, thinking the dollar amount not the number of videos, so I ended being charged double - I would deem this an honest mistake. Fortunately, I caught this before leaving the payment counter. She called another worker over, who called the manager, and they corrected the total and I got the right change. All three of the workers were calm, collected, and professional in conduct.

    This place is about 25 minutes away from me and worth the drive. I always find quite a few things and anyone I go with never leaves empty handed. I've gone twice on weekdays and it is busy! Don't these people work? lol I always find nice brands in their clothing and their shoes. Books are all priced under $4. Like most thrift stores, there's a huge religious section. Books are sorted by type of book, but not by author within. Housewares seems smaller than other thrift stores but still have found some treasures. I have a love hate relationship with the clothes. Clothes are sorted by men's, women's & childrens. Within each, some are sorted on racks by size (small-XL) and then there are some racks that are by color and not sorted by size nor is there a tag or something on the hanger to differentiate the sizing. So that can be annoying. They have a few racks for plus size, which is nice to have that sorted out. Dressing rooms are open and are plenty. Prices vary throughout the store but I'd say still cheaper than value village lately.

    I've been here a few times and I see something that's pretty cool every time I go. I passed on the dresser in the picture because it needed too much work but if you wanted to put in the effort, this would be a great addition to someone's home. This isn't the first time I've seen some nice mid century furniture here.

    Lots of bikes!

    Hmm. Where to begin. DI, as us Mormons call it, usually has a better selection in the thrift area but this store just had a lot of overpriced stuff that I didn't find useful. What I do like about them is they give people jobs to help them get rehabilitated. Pretty much 99% of what is at the DI was donated by a Mormon so if you have an issue with that, shop elsewhere. When we don't have a niece/nephew/cousin/sister/brother/uncle/aunt/grandpa/grandpa/mom/dad/fried/co-worker/teacher/neighbor to give our old stuff to, and if it didn't sell on Craigslist, and if it didn't sell at the yard sale, and there aren't any missionaries who want it, then we donate it to the DI. This is the reason why most of the stuff is picked over and kinda off putting, because we use it up till it's dead. Or grandma's dead, and no one wanted it at the estate sale or after the funeral. Just sayin'. I have a friend that is weird and will only wear thrift store clothes because he wants clothes that have already been lived in. (He's an artist, that explains a lot.) I stopped in to see if there was anything I could buy for him. The guy's department was super overpriced. $10 for a pair of used khakis? Say what? Those suckers are $7 at Value Village. They also have women's, juniors and kids clothing but I didn't bother looking for me since everything was looking pretty rough. I did see a section with brand new coats for kids. I roamed around the housewares section and find some ice trays that make the tiny cubes. Three trays for $0.75, sold! The rest just looked like really old and mismatched stuff. At other thrift stores I can find glasses and good plates for art projects, but not here. (Again, the good stuff goes to... you got the idea.) In the back room, they had about a dozen kids bikes, ski equipment, soccer equipment and various yard tools. There were other sports things too. If that's what you're looking for, come here, because I don't see these types of things at any other thrift store except DI. Tons and tons of books here. They also have a whole corner dedicated to kitchen appliances and electronics. Again, it was overpriced. They were asking for $20 for a 15 year old stereo. Come on now. They sell brand new bedroom furniture and mattresses. All sales are final at the DI. The parking lot is good sized. They have a giant metal bar that closes the parking lot when they aren't open. Closed Sundays.

    Those metal hangers!

    There are not very many of them (all west coast) and they are much cheaper than most Goodwills.

    This sale has been going on since 1950. The parents association drives planning and work all year…read moreround. The sale is held in 3 buildings on the Lakeside campus. For two days, items are discounted and treasures can be found. Parking is hard to come by. However, if you park at the 145th park and ride, they have a shuttle on Saturday (I'm not sure about Sunday). For furniture pick up, they will let you into the lot to pull up to the doors to make for easy loading and unloading. I saw tons of volunteers and they were all very nice. They were easily identifiable with aprons and were organized pretty well. Food was available from two food trucks and a concession stand run by students. I found great deals in the electronics room including 2 camera lenses, a computer monitor, and 2 robotic dogs for my little guy. At $26 for everything, I got a great deal! I bought a Columbia fleece, Quiksilver pants, and basketball warm ups for my kiddo at the whopping price of $3 for everything. I got tons of kitchen stuff for my sibling that just got a new apartment as well as old school Tupperware, gadgets, and a pruning saw for $13. I spent 5 hours here shopping. If you shop in the morning, you get a $5 off coupon that you can use between 2pm and 4pm. Overall, the prices were very reasonable and I had a great time. On Sunday, you buy a bag (small for $6 or garbage bag for $20) and stuff it full. Electronics and Best of Show items are half price and you can't use the bag on them. 4-stars primarily for the parking situation and the fact that they want you to eat so you will continue to shop but fail to give you anywhere to sit down. This was an issue because of the amount of rain we had that day.

    AM I AT ROSS??? 3/5…read moreStars I totally understand that a rummage sale wouldn't have the best quality things nor will it have brand new things, but a lot of their items for sale costed way too much. If I was going to pay $10 for a used T-shirt, I could go to Ross and buy a brand new one. Used plates were $5, Ross would be brand new for $5. I'm trying this at that the prices are way over priced. I understand it's all for charity, but the donated items should be sold for a little less. The reason why it wasn't a 1/5 Stars is due to the fact that the last day there are sales. It was 50% off majority of the things and by the end of the day, everything. I was able to find lots of vintage cameras and film for an amazing deal. I would suggest everyone to check out the electronic side because they have the best prices for awesome items. The clothes and everything else isn't worth it until it goes on the half of deal. I would still come back to browse for stuff and definitely check out the electronic section again. As for clothes or home decor, bring your money!!!! It's good that they accept cash and cards!

    The Bespoke Clothier completely changed how I think about fit. If you have a hard-to-fit body type,…read moreyou know how disappointing even "altered" clothes can be. I brought Gabriel a designer suit that still didn't feel right after store alterations. He was pretty honest--said the best it could become was a 7/10--and then went to work. He adjusted the shoulders, chest, sleeves, lapels, which required him to move every single button. It was literally a completely different suit. And for the first time, it actually fit the way it should. Since then, I've gone back for five custom suits, multiple shirts, and my favorite, an overcoat (which I'd avoided for years because of off-the-rack fit issues). Every item has come out perfectly tailored. If fit has always been a compromise for you, it's worth seeing what Gabriel can do. Adding some photos, but I'm not a fashion/textiles photographer. It's harder than it looks.

    TLDR: Multiple mistakes, delays, poor communication, sloppy, rush job…read more I had so much hope for this place with all the positive reviews. I should have read more into the negative ones before using him. A suit to me is an investment and it's really important that tailors take their job professionally. I came in to The Bespoke Clothier after doing some research as I needed a suit altered for an upcoming wedding. I had 2 weeks before the event which I felt was plenty of time for the job. I made an appointment with Gabriel for a consultation to look at the suit and discuss timing and needs for alterations. No real dressing room, just a closet that you can change in. He looked at my suit and made recommendations for the sleeves to be taken in and shortened and pants let out a bit on the waist. I also asked about adding surgeons cuffs with functional buttons. Gabriel mentioned that it's really easy and they do that all the time but they charge per button. Understandable I said and agreed to the pricing. This was Tuesday and was told that the alterations would be complete by Friday. A busy Friday for me meant a pickup on Saturday which would have been perfect as their posted hours on their website says: Saturday 9am-5pm. When I arrived on Saturday to pick up the suit, the lights were out, door locked and a note posted saying "Flexible Hours" this week and to text a number. I texted the number which replied that they would check with Gabriel on timing and they would communicate back to me a time for pickup. No response through Monday evening and by Tuesday at noon, I was getting a little concerned about lack of communication and timing. I decided to call on Tuesday afternoon and Gabriel picked up and told me the suit will be ready by 3pm that day. I arrived at the shop at 3:30pm with the pants ready and the jacket looking disheveled and unfinished with the buttons popped off one of the sleeves and arms way too long. He said he thought I needed the sleeves lengthened and he marked it incorrectly. He said this is an easy and quick job for the jacket and it will be ready tonight. I decided to give him more time to do a good job and said let me pick up tomorrow afternoon. The next afternoon comes and the jacket looked fine but I noticed that the buttons were not functional. He said he didn't take the correct notes and thought I didn't want that even though I was charged extra per button. Again was told that it was an easy job as he does this "all the time" and he would be the one personally making the functioning buttons. Again was told he could do it tonight and I again gave him extra time to do a nice, clean job. The suit was ready with functioning surgeons cuffs but the workmanship was really poor. Also one of the buttons for the interior pocket was missing. The cut and sewing lines were really sloppy looking and the thread for the buttons were not sewing inside the lining, leaving the button thread visible on the cup to lining. I'm not sure if Gabriel just over promises and has to rush through everything but i think he knows better. Overall a stressful situation being almost a week overdue, multiple mistakes and a seemingly rush job to finish. At the initial meeting, Gabriel was also trying to sell me a custom suit which I was seriously considering at the time. Unfortunately this soured my experience and mindset that he would be capable of making a full bespoke suit.
