I've been to this pantry about 6x's now.Here's my take on its pros & cons…read more Pros - 1) On 1/9/23 I asked one of the ladies who always seems to oversee the frozen meat area if the workers are all volunteers. Yes, she said. I think that's great. 2) A lot of the food seems to come from Whole Foods. (Not sure if that's a good thing or not, as they're owned by pretty greedy Amazon now.) 3) A lot of the prepackaged stuff is organic. 4) I think It's nice everyone can choose theitems he/she wants. Someone usually cites that said the number of things in each distribution group we can have. I sustained one exception to that the last time I was there3/13/23. one of the regular volunteers informed me I could have as many pantry items I wanted. Don't quote me but I think she said that was because I was there within earshot of the closing of the hour long giveaway time frame so sufficient edibles were there still. (I don't know, that said where they store "leftover stuff that needs refrigeration or freezer space. There's a small free parking lot on Carson street that's across the street from the pantry entrance which isn't on GREEN LANE, ACTUALLY. (If you've a car this is an important point to be aware of -- the workers here correctly inform me about given how difficult it can be to find parking on a lot of the street in this neighborhood. I think it's far better that groceries and a place like Whole Foods are giving away food they don't want to sell anymore -- due to their (likelihood) notions their customers don't want anything that's almost "expired," (I could go on and on about that $) than trashing these foodstuffs in landfills that are already clearly overburdened, giving rise to global warming hence, etc. Finally given the food here is free when all is said and done it's definitely a good place to frequent if you're interested in just saving your coinson the recent hiked cost of grocery food. Cons - Regarding my query about where refrigerated food is stored here I had a fairly nasty taste of that (no pun intended lol). The last time I was at the pantry I picked up a fairly large plastic container of carrots and celery (see picture) which had an expiration date of 3/12/23 but which I wanted anyway because I've found "expired " things often last a lot longer than what's noted on various food items. Well for the first time in my life these particular veggies were pretty much rotten-- about two weeks after I brought them home. That's VERY unusual for carrots and celery as these pretty hardy vegetables usually last a lot longer than two weeks in my fridge. I'm 100% certain due to the fact they Had NOT BEEN PROPERLY REFRIGERATED -- if in fact they'd been refrigerated at all after Whole Foods donated it to them however their usual (innate capacity shall I say) to withstand pretty accelerated decay was obliterated. That's disappointing that something like that can happen at a food pantry of all places! I'm not trying to belabor the vegetable matter here but since I've already broached ithere's another thing I don't think is great about this pantry For some reason one can't get fresh vegetables here much. I think that's strange and unfortunate. I've usually had to wait 40-45 minutes before being called up to get my items. The wait time here can be tiring, therefore. After all is said and done of course -- to end on a positive note the fact that much of the food here is organic and pretty decent, healthy, etc I've no reason NOT to recommend it.

Bargain Thrift Center definitely has a little something for everyone! I took my time walking around…read moreand was surprised by just how much they have, plus-size clothing, kids' items, quilts and fabrics, a kitchen section, tons of dishware, vases, figurines, shoes, handbags, jewelry, heavy coats, vintage pieces and more. I took a look through the plus-size section and saw some cute and name-brand pieces, but the clothing wasn't organized by size. You really need to give yourself some time because I probably could've spent an hour or two just sifting through the clothes trying to find things in my size. I was mostly interested in the home decor, figurines, handbags, shoes and jewelry. The bags I saw were in very good condition, and there were some super cute shoes! My only issue was organization again, the shoes weren't clearly arranged by size, and with so many shoes and people shopping, I wasn't about to go through every pair trying to find my size. The jewelry wasn't really my style unless you're looking for earrings or colorful, chunky statement pieces. I'm unfortunately a little plain and boring these days when it comes to jewelry. Where this place really stood out to me was the beautiful decor and figurines. There were so many interesting things to look through, and I also noticed a great selection of heavier coats. One tip: don't come expecting to run in and out! This is the kind of thrift store where you need time to dig, browse and see what treasures you can find. Security was also on it around closing time and made sure everyone knew it was time to wrap things up. Overall, there's a huge variety here and truly something for almost everyone. With a little better organization, especially by clothing and shoe size, this would've been an even better shopping experience. I'll definitely take another gander when I have more time to really look through everything.

My mother and I had an excellent experience with Briggs as sellers of antiquities. My mom was…read moredownsizing into a smaller residence, and had to give up many precious antiques that she and her mother had collected for years. Everything that Briggs did to handle the estate was top-notch: from initial communication about the process and their pricing structure, to carefully packing and moving the items, to researching and assessing each piece, and finally, to selling the items with detailed, accurate descriptions, then providing a detailed list of what sold, for how much, and a check sent within a month of the last sale. Josie from Briggs was great both on the phone and over email (and in person, per my mom). My mom said she couldn't be happier with Briggs - even if some items didn't fetch as much money as we had hoped they would, we felt like everything was handled very professionally and fairly - and sometimes, antiques just don't go for as much as you'd think they would. It's a finicky market. Many thanks to Josie and the Briggs team for their outstanding professionalism and service!

After calling to introduce myself and see if they could help me, A to Z Resale came to my house, looked at the items I was looking to sell, and suggested an estate sale. We discussed this in great detail and they were aware that I would be living and working out of my house until I moved. Despite the fact that this was only the second time they had done an estate sale (something not mentioned until I prompted) I decided to give them a chance and went ahead and signed a contract with them. In our discussions, they told me they needed about 3 weeks to prep for the sale. They wanted me to give them a key to the house that I was living in so that they could 'come and go' to get ready for the sale. I reminded them that I was living/working at the house and did not want people to come and go without notice. This seems like a reasonable request on many levels, not the least of which is safety. On many occasions, I mentioned that I am at the house nearly 100% of the time and they could simply drop me a text to give me a heads up and come over at any time. One week prior to the estate sale date (and subsequent move to my new house), I still had not seen them or seen any work done. I contacted them to ensure everything was on track. It was at that point that they informed me that they were voiding my contract on the grounds that I did not provide a key to my house. What person in their right mind would give a complete stranger a key to their house? Not only did they leave me scrambling at the last minute, but they have been operating under the assumption that I still want to have any sort of contact with them. They put me on their mailing list, send me unsolicited emails on a regular basis and provide no way of removing myself from the list -- which is also illegal. I am all for people trying to start and run a business on their own. But I am not going to endorse people who do not know the law, do not operate in a professional manner, and do not respect people enough to simply do the right thing. Considering the plethora of options available in this space, I highly recommend staying away from this business.
