My husband and I stopped into this thrift store while we were in the area. They have a lot of…read morechildren's items and toys. Their household goods tend to be on the older side. They have a variety of adult clothing and some books. Most of the books seem to be non-fiction and children. There were hardly any fictional books. I do believe their prices are somewhat high, especially since a lot of their items tend to be on the older side. My husband paid for the items but was not greeted, but was given a friendly thank you at the end.

This is a real junk store. Like another reviewer from about 6 years ago said, there is some good…read morestuff, but you have to WORK to find it. They had an old holiday Barbie priced at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY dollars. Ridiculous! It was not worth more than $20 on the current resale market. I'm not even a reseller, just a collector! The store was not very clean and was overcrowded with crap. If you want to move items, they have to be priced well! I'll probably be back because of the few things you can find, but be prepared to search when you come! $10 for a board game is ridiculous, especially one that's taped shut so I can't check if it has all the pieces!

This store is absolutely fantastic! I stopped by to make a donation, but they were closed outside…read morefor a heat break so I went inside to drop my items off. I was so impressed with the store that I did some thrift thing for the first time in a couple of decades. The staff was super helpful and kind, most folks there are volunteers. I was able to find a pin striped suit that fit me for $30. All I have to do is get the pants hemmed because I am short. I also got a couple of shirts, including a KC Royals shirt for five dollars because I didn't have one. Students and teachers get discounts on Friday and seniors 55+ get 25% off on Wednesdays. I love that this store works with people who are transitioning from being unhoused to housed and they let them come in and select whatever they need for their new place with no charges. For this reason, we will be making all of our donations at Hillcrest thrift store from now on.

Last two times I've been there dealt with rude employees . This last Friday was the worst . Some…read moreold man got on a mega phone and was yelling at customers in the store that they were closing in 30 minutes and the employees there have lives and want to get home to their families . Excuse me jerk, if you don't want to work there than quit !!! If you're terrified of working a few minutes late to deal with customers that are giving you money, you're in the wrong business !! Meanwhile the new store , Savers , next door actually keeps good business hours and doesn't scream rude crap at customers . Also the nasty old woman at the front counter was very rude trying to rush people out . I will never shop there again and will now donate to savers , I hope they put you out of business

So Frugal's has moved locations! Unfortunately it's not for the better. There is less stock…read more(possibly because they've just recently reopened!) and the prices are higher. While there are definitely some treasures and deals to be found, it's ultimately a downgrade in quality from the previous location, at least at the current time. I also want to note that despite loudly advertising that "all clothing is $2.98," they have a section at the front of higher priced clothing items. I admit I think this is a rather duplicitous business practice. It also seems random what clothes are put up there. Some of it was the same fast fashion that infests the rest of the clothing racks, while some finer materials and true vintage was languishing on the $2.98 racks. It just didn't make sense to me! It's worth a stop if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for Frugal's.

Located in a relatively safe section of town, Frugal's Family Thrift store is available to service…read moreall of your second-hand market needs. I found the parking lot to be depressing as if I was in the middle of no-where with civilization being hundreds of miles away. I'm just adding this point as it was the way I felt. That said, the staff friendly and most of the patrons were very nice. Please note Thrift stores are very hit or miss so going from week to week can result in a highly different experience. I'll be the first to admit, all thrift stores have a funky smell to them and I found Frugal's to be especially smelly; nothing to the point of unbearable but it lingers for the duration of the visit. Now in terms of being what do they offer, well pretty much everything and anything. Furniture, clothing, toys, books, CDs/DVDs, cookware, you name it. I found the kitchen section in terms of pots, pans, mixers and things of that nature to be very sparse while their main attraction was clothing. Off in the back right, one can find a small furniture section with some decent to horrible offerings. I liked some of the books they had and was extremely tempted to pick something up since I found many that perked my interest. Their music selection had me laughing as I noticed a couple odd bands from the 80s, 90s and beyond which I don't think anyone would buy. Color Me Bad anyone? I don't recall seeing much for motorized lawn equipment but I was in and out relatively quickly. Overall, thrift stores have a very particular clientele and subculture. I'm pretty sure if you're reading this you know how things go, so I'm not going to try and upsell you, rather give you the thumbs up to come on by and see what they got. It's safe and the people are nice while have a very large floorspace open to many different reasonably priced objects.

They consistently have good and fun items. I've left with a huge cart full several times. My only issue is that it can get packed in there at times. There's often not enough carts nor enough dressing rooms when it's really busy. It's still not bad but I wish they'd work on getting some more carts donated and maybe find some space for a few more dressing rooms. They are raising money for charity and the people who are working there I believe are mostly volunteers so I don't want to complain too much. I'm sure if I'm overwhelmed by how busy it is, the volunteers and employees must be. I like to drop off things here and there to donate to them as well. That's an easy process here. I'm going to try to snap some photos on my next visit but considering it's a thrift store, it stays pretty clean and fairly well organized even on busy Saturdays and sale days.

There's a lot of stuff that's quite dirty, including tons of vinyls caked in mold and rotting away from water damage. Some of the prices are a bit crazy.

There was nothing good in here. If you know me, you know I'm a thrifter. An antiquer. A garage saler. I love weird, wonderful old stuff. I walked out of this store with two things! That's a pathetic haul for me. The lack of dressing rooms and their terrible return policies coupled with the rude people staffing the place had my feathers ruffled by the time I left. One good thing I can say is that their book prices are FAR more reasonable than any other Savers in the area. Mostly $4 or less and even cheaper on kids books. The other Savers in the area routinely price paperbacks at $8+, which I think they should be arrested for since it's highway robbery!
