As an avid thrifter, I'm always on the lookout for new spots, so I was really excited to check this…read moreplace out after a recommendation from a co-worker. Unfortunately, my experience was pretty disappointing. The prices were extremely high for a thrift store, especially compared to other locations I frequent. On top of that, many of the items I came across were in poor condition, which made the pricing even harder to justify. Customer service didn't help the experience either. I asked an employee for help with an item that didn't have a price, and he seemed bothered by the request. He went to check but took quite a while and never came back. As I was heading out, he finally returned and called me over only to tell me the price, which again, was far too high. Overall, I left without purchasing anything and don't see myself returning. I will say the store is fairly organized and located in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking, which is convenient. But unless you're okay with paying high prices, this probably isn't the place for you.

And every time I go back, I go and look for stuff for my kids and it's always all the same stuff there that has been sitting there for months. I love donating money to hospice, but it's become overpriced for me to shop there. So I will continue to go to all the other thrift stores in Encinitas, but not this one anymore. Total bummer.

However, as with many thrift type stores, I found some of the items to be unreasonably priced. Take a look at my photos and videos below to see. They did have some clothes 50%, which I though was a great deal. Their shoes were in pretty good condtion and while not super cheap, I think they are reasonable if you cannot find that same shoe online or in-stores anymore. At the time I came, they did not have real gold jewelry. I asked one of the associates and I believe Deborah herself answered when she said it wouldn't be available for another hour. Deborah was deep into what very much appeared to be researching her items before listing them for sale. Cool place to check out, but definitely consider skipping the store items and bags as you can find better prices elsewhere. Unless you want to support a local business, of course.

A Hidden Gem with Heart and Integrity -- Deborah's Next to New…read more Working with Deborah's Next to New was hands-down one of the most exceptional experiences we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was nothing short of phenomenal. We brought in several cherished family heirlooms, including mid-century furniture pieces, and were met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Tami and her daughter are absolute treasures. Their kindness, attentiveness, and sensitivity to the emotional weight of parting with sentimental items made all the difference. They treated our keepsakes with respect and handled every detail with precision--from meticulous recordkeeping to beautifully staging each item for resale. Within days, Tami reached out to let us know that several pieces had sold and she was ready to issue payment. Her honesty and transparency throughout the process were deeply reassuring. It was seamless, stress-free, and far exceeded our expectations. For anyone considering consignment, look no further. I will never use another shop again. Tami's integrity, efficiency, and heartfelt approach set a gold standard. And for shoppers? The store is a dream--thoughtfully curated, beautifully organized, and full of unique finds. We had originally planned to work with an estate sale coordinator, but finding Tami and her daughter first was a stroke of luck we'll always be grateful for. I've already told everyone I know: Deborah's Next to New isn't just a consignment store--it's a place where your memories are honored and your trust is earned.

I understand that the parking is for in-store customers only. But the moment I stepped out of my car, a woman came running out of the store and started yelling at me, saying the parking was for those businesses only. I hadn't even walked away from my vehicle yet, and she had no idea where I was going. For context, I'm a Type 1 diabetic, and my blood sugar suddenly dropped very low. In that moment, I urgently needed food or I risked being unsafe to drive. My boyfriend was with me, but he isn't insured on my car and doesn't know how to drive a manual--and she still insisted that I make him take my car. On top of that, it's not safe for me to be walking around alone when my blood sugar is that low. I calmly explained the situation and told her I just needed a quick snack and would be back in under five minutes. Despite that, she showed zero empathy and continued yelling. At that point, my priority was my health and safety. I also didn't feel comfortable leaving my car unattended given her aggressive behavior. I waited a few days to write this, but as a Type 1 diabetic, this situation was genuinely scary and upsetting. This happened Saturday in the late afternoon. Situations like this deserve more understanding and basic human compassion. Please do better.

Clothes were scattered and falling off hangers when the store opened - I can expect this at the end of the day, but upon opening? Multiple pieces were stained, dirty, and a three pieces had rips/holes. The shoes were piled up in heaps, and are no longer organized by size so you have to look through every pair for your size. I don't mind overpaying when the experience is quality, but these clothes are WAY overpriced and it feels like Ross meets Salvation Army. You can do better.

Parking was pretty easy, the lot seems to fill up quick. They also have artisan work there too which is nice. Good to see support of small business artists.
