You guys have to have an open mind and realize that a Thrift Store is for Profit, not Non-Profit. They pay to keep the lights on! It may not be for everybody. If it's not for you, then just keep it moving; don't write bad reviews because you don't agree with the prices. If you just came to browse, just browse and leave knowing there are other places you can go! I, myself, think they should have a charge to enter; it's that great! read more

This thrift store used to be one of my favorite places to find great items. However, I stopped shopping there for a while because the closing announcements began an hour and a half before closing and were repeated every five minutes. Although that situation has improved, the prices have become unreasonable over the past year. For example, I recently saw a basic Walmart plate priced at $12.99. My visit today was also frustrating. The store has two floors, but the registers are located only on the second floor. Shopping carts from downstairs cannot be taken into the elevator to pay, while the carts upstairs cannot be taken downstairs or out of the store. This setup is extremely inconvenient and does not feel customer-friendly. Unfortunately, the high prices and lack of consideration for customers have made shopping here unpleasant. I do not plan to return. read more

Southern Thrift Market - Store Front - Thrift Stores Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

Who is pricing these "donated" free items? Greed is real, I have been thrifting most of my life, I have never ever seen prices like this! Who are you guys aiming your sales to, rich people? That nasty gross cabinet y'all wanted $130 for? Non name brand purses, $20! Vases $15!!! Yeah I walked in and Right out... Greedy!!!! read more

Not sure why this place has poor reviews, this is the biggest thrift store I've ever seen. It is easily the size of a grocery store and that is BEFORE you realize there is a lower level. For those with disabilities, this store has a long ramp up to the front doors and an elevator in the back of the store. Next up, unlike most thrift stores I've been in, the store smells clean. The merchandise is organized but, as with many thrifts, it takes a bit to figure out the layout. If you are mourning the loss of Goodwill merchandise to the Goodwill ecommerce store, swing by this place and check it out. The selection is insanely good. The persons working the registers were fast and friendly. The prices were a mixed bag. I picked up 3 books each for $2-3 but I suspect that they were priced so low because they came in a long time ago. There were other books I saw prices around 4-5. And still others were $30... but I'm not into those genres and couldn't say what their value was. Everything I looked at was reasonably price but I'm also usually looking for art supplies, books, and music instruments. read more

This is a RESELLER THRIFT. Everything is overpriced. Absolutely everything. Saw some canvas prints that had TJ max stickers, they had it priced at $18 each. While TJ max sold it $9.99 read more

This is not your normal thrift store, for a few reasons: 1. It's huge. Like, MASSIVE. They have clothing and furniture on the top floor and housewares and linens downstairs. I've never heard of a two floor thrift store, but here we are. 2. The prices are higher than you might expect. It's a "for profit" store so the prices are aligned with that, but I only shop there on sale days so I can still get a great bargain. 3. It's huge. Like, MASSIVE. Nuff said. read more

This was my first and last time to Southern thrift market. For a place that has a majority of it donated to them for free this place is extremely overpriced for a thrift store. If I wanted to pay $20 for a shirt, I would go to a department store. Absolutely zero customer service (passed three employees) no one greets you, No one says hi nothing. If you want to pay overpriced for used items this is definitely the store to come otherwise most certainly not a thrift store. It is a huge store that could have a lot of potential but at the prices that they're pricing isn't worth even going to look. read more

Used to be good. Now whoever does the pricing is crazy. Some used simple shirts or vests are over 50. Because they are a known brand. Not high end. Just 1/2 way decent. If they have a new tag on them. Good brand or not they are crazy priced. I saw more than one with a T.J.Maxx tag. And the thrift store was at least double that price. The house hold items are the same, there were galvanized, trash cans about a month ago, the price for one of them, a used trashcan, was MORE than double what they would have been new at Home Depot or Lowe's. I had asked about them, and they told me well "That color is half off" still not worth it for a used trashcan, because they're half off price would have still been about $10 more than what I could've gotten it for new. When I went yesterday, just about every item now has a ridiculously high price for a thrift store. read more

Southern Thrift Market - Large variety of clothing and household items, two stories of shopping, worth checking out! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

We came to visit this Thrift store after seeing a video of it and check it out. They do have a lot of items for sale, so make sure to take your time when visiting because there is a lot to explore. I must say I was a little surprised at their "prices" because some clothing items were a bit pricey to our opinion. I was expecting to find cheaper prices on most of their items but that was not the case. You'd find cheaper prices at Goodwill or Salvation Army instead. So needless to say, overall it was an interesting experience. read more

Was there 3 hours exactly recently, I was shopping according to the color sale, when I was in line to pay I noticed that the colors were different and had been changed. I know that for the first 2 hrs I had been using them as reference and then went upstairs and there was NO colors posted. When I was paying I asked if they were changed and the lady said, "yes". I let her know that for 2-3 hrs they had different sale colors posted. She apologized and said they change in the morning. I was upset and let her know that obviously someone had not done their job. I asked for a manger who did not care in the slightest, and told the lady at the register I didn't want any of it. Everything I shopped for did not come home with me. It was a waste of my 3 hours, thanks Southern Thrift for wasting my time on my only day off. And I almost forgot to mention the music playing was horrible. It added to my anxiety levels. read more

The security guard is rude!!! Then, on top of that the prices are ridiculous expensive for a thrift store!! First and last time coming to this store!!! read more

Yall. YALL. What an absolute ride this shopping trip was. I spent most of it just laughing incredulously at the PRICES. I could not get over it. It was OUTRAGEOUS. I mean laughable. Crusty, not name brand tshirts for $10. A Ross skirt with the tag on it reading $9.99 priced at $25! TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS. FAKE BAGS for $30! I can not believe it. I was flabbergasted. A table for $70 and they wrote the price right on the wood. They get this stuff DONATED. FOR FREE. And they're charging these prices. Insane. The staff was reasonably nice, that was about the only highlight. read more

Who is making up these prices?? $100 price tag on a polyester no name coat but $1.99 for vintage collectible Depression glass that is actually worth something ?? WILD. This could've been a cool place to find a bargain or a resource for those who can't afford to pay full retail. What a shame read more

Amazing thrifty store very big and organized but the prices not worth it . I went and bought nothing everything is over priced $20 + for jeans hell no , and there's some discounts but all the stuff people don't really want . Service was ok nothing amazing just normal workers . I wouldn't shop here again. read more

I found a crate and it had two prices on it, I mentioned it to the cashier and the manager overheard me say there were two price tags. Manager rushed over and said I couldn't buy the item even though I was willing to pay the higher price tag of $3 over the $2 price tag. It's just disappointing when you find an item you want and the manager takes it away and refuses to sell it to you because of their error of pricing it twice. Manager should be evaluated in her customer service skills. read more

I just got back from this place. Interesting. When I first walked in, I wasn't sure if it was gonna be what I was looking for. But then I started to browse the racks- the sorting method takes a second to get used to, but it makes sense. I found the people working there to be really nice and helpful. I ended up getting 13 cute pieces of clothing for $91 total, after spending about two hours looking. The pricing can be a little wacky. These are not super cheap Value Village prices- they can tell what people are looking for/buying, and they price accordingly. For instance, a pair of jeans I got was $15, and a really nice vintage plaid jacket was $16, but all my shirts & bottoms were around $5-$9. I didn't spend a lot of time downstairs. I would come back here. read more

Prices of Mens sport coats and suits are sporadic. Goodwill charges $7 for sport coats and $14 for suits. The Mens pile just keeps getting bigger because the inability to sell-off. Lots of items for sure, but charging $20 plus for jackets and $50 plus for suits doesn't make me come back...even with the half off discount it's way more than their local competitors and Atlanta has plenty of good thrift stores. read more

This place is huge and sold an extensive amount of things. For example, I found Wii consoles and various brand named apparel (Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Ann Taylor, Toms, etc.). If you're not tired of the main floor, there's another down below that had a $0.39 deal this past weekend. My friend said they have weekly sales so it changes often. This one seemed to be a biggie since the solid colored tags (except the yellow ones) came out only to be $2.22 for items on the main floor. Wow right?! I love how the clothes and shoes were sorted by size. It made life so much easier to rummage through it all. For ladies' apparel, there were so many racks that some of us became overwhelmed with the options available. Even though I am not a thrift store shopper and have plenty of clothes that fills my two closets, misc bins, and drawers, this was a steal so I couldn't resist. Some of the clothes and shoes were in near new condition so I'd say this place is worth a browse. read more

This place right c'here (not here, but c'here,) was all that I was hoping for! I decided to come here, because my friend (I won't mention her name, but her name is Ellen,) has been posting fantastic pictures of this place. Her pictures showed unique items as well as much needed items..... Oh who am I kidding? There was no "needed items." I WANTED. I absolutely love thrift stores, and I couldn't wait until I had a chance to rummange. Guess what? There was no rummaging. Why? Because, the whole darn place was neat, organized, color coded, and clothes were put on their racks by their sizes! There was associates throughout the store, that was more than happy to help with anything. I had a question about the color and the prices (different colors mean different percentages off. Like Orange and Pink were 50% off today!) Guess what? I turned around, and boop! There was an associate right there to answer my question (obviously, I couldn't tell the difference between the color orange and the color yellow. Yup, they had to show me the difference. To my defense, it was because I hadn't come across an orange tag as of yet.) Anyhow, there are two levels to this place. The bottom level was mainly for books and children. What I really enjoyed about this place, was that it didn't smell like a consignment shop. It didn't smell mothy, musky or old. The prices here is for anyone who is on a budget and want lightly used, nice clothes. I tell ya what.... I was tired of going to thrift stores and being charged as if I was in a department store. If you want to go to a thrift store where you wont break the bank or leave with buyers remorse, come here. Seriously, go. read more

Wow...what a huge building! My son and I really enjoy visiting thrift stores and this location did not disappoint. They have everything...clothes, furniture, kitchen stuff, phones, fax machines, manga, baseball cards, stamps, fake plants, art, vintage books, regular books, knick knacks galore, coffee mugs, shoes, records both regular and 45, old magazines, outdoor stuff, boxes of greeting cards, storage boxes, designer stuff, instruments, antiques, collectible dolls, collectible pins and buttons, jewelry of all kinds, children's toys, picture frames, baseball cleats and the list goes on and on. The prices seemed pretty reasonable. I bought a picture frame and a toy circus elephant and it was just over five dollars. My son got a Shark vacuum which retails for around $300 for $39. Sometimes they have some real treasures in the display case. I found a set of vintage 1847 Roger Bros. silverware in its original case for $30. Because pink tags were half off that day, I got the whole lot for just $15! It shined up nicely. On the weekends, the have four color ticket sales. You can find some great stuff for half off. read more

IF YOU ARE A YOUNG ADULT WOMEN BE CAREFUL OF A MAN THAG WORKS AT THE STORE. I was walking around carrying clothes in my arms and a man stops me and asks to look in my tote bag and accuses me on shoplifting bc I wasn't using a cart to hold my clothes. I was carrying a rather large tote bag and the clothes were draped over the top of it. I STILL have them business and left promptly after he threatened me by saying he would call the cops even though I DID NOT COMMIT A CRIME. Even after he searched my bag and I explained to him that this was my first time ever visiting this store and didn't know that they had carts to hold (idk why me holding my items on my arm would make them think i was going to just walk out with them). I understand upholding no shoplifting but accusing and threatening a customer saying "you are not a good girl" and "good girls wouldn't steal that is very naughty" even after searching their bag to find nothing is not only unprofessional but also very inappropriate. First time here and will NEVER be coming back. read more

Used to really love it here but good god the prices have gotten kind of insane. 18$ for a run of the mill tshirt ??? Super disappointing.

I still vote this place over Goodwill any day. Much better selection and they have fitting rooms!

Giant thrift store with a huge selection. As far as thrift stores go, the prices are pretty high, but depending on what you find can be worth it - especially on their discount days. If you're looking for more everyday bargains, check out the Cheap-O basement. read more

This is hands down the best thrift store I've ever been to! It's so well organized compared to Good Will and other stores I've been to. It's huge and has a great selection. I didn't have time to go through as much as I wanted, but I still got some good things. I liked how expansive the shoe section was and there were actually nice shoes. Same with the bags, belt, and jewelry. It's a bit pricier than goodwill, but it's worth it for the store to be so organized. When I went there was actually an amazing sale where everything $25.00 and under that didn't have a purple or green tag was $2.99, so I got 6 things for $14.12!! I'm very happy with my experience here and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Horrible thrift store. They need some deep cleaning to do. Don't even try buying a soda here a ton of dust with come with it if you do. I've seen roaches in the dressing rooms as well. This isn't a very nice thrift store. read more

this place kicked me out said i was stealing because my tackle vest was coming loose and it looked like i had something under my shirt i tried to explain what was underneath my shirt I told them i did not want my weapon falling on the floor discharging in the store that's why i was holding my shirt and i wear it like that all the time read more

This place has a HUGE selection of clothing on the top floor as well as a bottom floor full of books/media/toys etc. everything was organized by size and isles clean. The only complaint that I have is that prices can be high on some pieces, but they have certain color tags 50% off daily as well as special sale days throughout the week (Tuesday's all clothes 50% off, etc). Be prepared to look through here for an hour or two!! read more

Honestly one of my favorite thrift stores in the Atlanta area! Go early because it gets crowded about an hour after opening and the good stuff gets taken. Their prices are the lowest out of anywhere I've seen in Atlanta. They also have a bigger selection of men's clothes than anywhere else. read more

The good-Nice clothes! I found some really cute pieces here. The clothing is in good condition. And if you're selective they look newer. The bad- you can't separate dish sets that cost $80-$100 something dollars. This store may be paranoid, as they were following me. Backstory- I heard a call for security on the speakers( no big deal) when I started browsing upstairs and look- automatically a yellow vest staff member magically starts fiddling right next to me. Ok -no biggie, maybe she's restocking. First I did my upstairs shopping , purchased and took the bag to my car . I recalled I wanted to purchase some children's clothing downstairs so I came back,walked downstairs and started browsing- "security! " and here comes the staff hovering and following again. Now I'm annoyed and asked the staff "are you following me?" She just laughed.... hmm I'll stick with Goodwill and ThredUP. read more

Used to be my FAVORITE thrift store, now everything is near retail pricing. Shopping sustainably should be easy given the amount of clothes made, but they have jacked up their prices through the roof now. It's really a shame because this place has amazing finds. One of the employees mentioned a new manager, maybe causing the increase in price? Huge bummer read more

I have loved Southern Thrift Market and I have shopped here for years. In the past few months their prices have increased substantially. They are on average in my opinion only a dollar or two less than shopping for new items at Ross or Burlington. They are definitely more pricey than thrifting at Goodwill. The only way to get a decent deal now is with buying the items marked 50% off based on the color of the day. I am pretty disappointed with their changes in price. read more

Absolutely not worth the time. It's less a "thrift store" than a badly overpriced flea market where you can't bargain. I saw two used, Casio-type keyboards, both over $100. That kind of pricing was typical. They've got tons of mass-produced prints lining the walls, in like the $30 range, but that's roughly what you'd pay for new prints at HomeGoods. At any actual thrift store they would have been $5-$15, mainly for the mat, glass and frame. They had a cheap Joan Miró print -- college-apartment quality -- priced at $80. I didn't see a single item remotely like a "deal." What good is a huge selection if the prices are several hundred percent higher than at competing stores? read more

I'm glad I read some other reviews before going. That helped me know what to expect. As described in other reviews, the place is massive. The upper floor is the size of your average GoodWill, maybe larger, and it is PACKED. The clothing is organized by both size and style, which is helpful and a nice change from some other local thrift stores. All of the stuff on the top floor is priced individually. There is a lower level, also very large, where everything is a bargain price which changed by the day. It is as low as $0.39 some days, $1.99 other days. The main advantage of this store over other stores is that it has a TON of inventory. If you were looking for a particular color or style, your odds of finding it here would likely be higher than finding it somewhere else. The down side of this store is that the clothing prices are high. HIGH. I'd say eBay prices for nicer brands, but there aren't a ton of nice brands. Most of it is quite overpriced considering they are brands sold at WalMart, Target, Marshall's or Kohl's. I would expect these prices at a higher end consignment store, but here I feel like I'd be overpaying for the usual mass produced stuff you can find at any thrift store. I don't think it's a great destination for a bargain hunter. There's a possibility for a bargain in the basement, but it's quite picked over so don't expect many true hidden gems. Housewares, books, other categories are priced more reasonably than clothing, but still above other local thrift stores with no unusually exciting merchandise to speak of. The book selection was particularly disappointing for the price. read more

This place is cool. This place is huge. This place has awesome stuff. However, this place is rigid and uncompromising. I found some really great items, one was a wedding veil. I saw that it had a number 2 written on a tag and circled. I didn't know what that meant so I went to ask. They said it meant that it was a 2nd part of another item. The other item being a wedding dress. That's fine, but I'm interesting in buying this alone as I already have a dress. Then they say I can't because it's priced together. Mmm, okay. Well where's the original dress? Dunno they say. Hmmmm, okay. So I roam around more and decided to follow up again before I cash out. Did you find the dress? Yes. How much is it? We don't know. There's no price. Okay, well can I just buy the veil then. No, has to go to production and it has to be sold together. Maybe Tuesday. (It's Sunday). Cool, I get it. Can I leave my number because I'm interested. No. Come back. Well, are you sure it will be priced by then? No. Maybe Wedneday is better. Okay... who can I talk to about just buying the veil? No one. It goes together. Like literally frustrating. You sell tennis rackets and their bags separately but you can't detach a veil from a dress? Anyway, no hard feelings. This place does have some really good stuff but to echo some others, this place tends to overprice items. Luckily I was just in for some bottles that were mostly 99 cents each. Good luck! And if you are management, please be more flexible. I mean really, it's a thrift store. Everything should be negotiable. read more

This place has to be the best thrift store in the Atlanta area! It is huge! They have a super spacious upstairs, as well as a downstairs area, with prices that are much better than Goodwill. Everything is organized perfectly, so you don't have to sift through racks just to find your size. read more

I was SO excited to check this place out. The previous reviews are right in that it is ENORMOUS, well organized and clean. They had a clearance-type deal in the basement where all clothing down there was $1.99. Problem is the clothing in the basement was worth no more than $1.99 as it's where they send their off-season, picked over stuff. What was really disappointing though was that their clothing prices were WAY too high. I'd estimate that the majority of things I found that I would have purchased were priced 50-75% of a comparable brand new item. Knowing this was a new shop, I grabbed a few sample items and tracked down the store manager. I very respectfully asked her about the wild prices, and she said that they price them under guidelines that the owners from New York gave them. Then she said it could have been from trainee employees. Then she said that is why they have half off tickets (so do most thrifts.) Then she boasted where else would I find a $1.99 basement. What she did not do was offer to reduce prices that she agreed were out of whack. I had high hopes for this place but they aren't going to be in business long when their main product is clothing that is priced way too high. read more

I found this gem via a FB ad. What a refreshing change from the sea of Goodwills and overhyped Value Villages in the area. I felt a slight rush as I stepped in not expecting it to be so large! Set aside some time to browse it up. Not only is there a full selection on the main floor priced reasonably, (par for the course some brand names lean a few dollars higher)... there's a downstairs feat. $1.99 threads, along with a ton of bedding, purses, books, etc as well. I really enjoy the lack of chaos here. I actually hesitated to write a review because I don't want Southern Thrift to fall victim to being labeled a "hot spot" and become encumbered with obnoxious clientele but that's ridiculous of me. This is a solid shop with pleasant employees (you read right) and for once I can speak positively about FB. Speaking of which, follow them on FB. Lots of worthwhile deal days. read more

This is a massive space that will demand some time to get the full benefit of. The store is clean and well stocked and there's a spacious bargain basement where all clothes are $1.99. Downstairs is also where you'll find dishes, glassware, some other housewares and a little furniture. There are lots of great pictures and art work surrounding the main floor, but pricing was extremely uneven, a trait not uncommon in thrift stores. Overall, there are some decent mid-level name brands to be had, but I didn't find the super deals and high end brands I get at my favorite thrift store in town. If you live in the area it's worth checking out, but I wouldn't make a special trip to shop here. read more
