    Clothing haul
    Kait M.

    Get ready to dig! I was there to shop for teacher-appropriate basic clothing on the cheap and it was exactly what I needed. This is a good old thrift store with tons of stuff that is organized generally into what type of clothing it is and gender, but it is definitely not organized by size and is very messy. Clothes coming off hangers, stuffed onto the racks, shoes falling off shelves, etc. The colored tags go on sale for 50% off. I went on a Saturday and 3 different color tags were half off--I think that might just be on weekends though? Dunno. There are white tagged items that are listed under "better clothing" and they are a little more expensive with better brands. I skipped all the white tags cuz I was out for deals. Honestly, I was so occupied and overwhelmed by the first floor I didn't make it upstairs. Most of the clothing is relatively new brands that can't be more than a couple of years old from big stores, but you can find some cool vintage from the 70s through 00s here too (but like I said you will have to dig). There is also a good amount of Indian/modest dress which I thought was nice, a lot of it tagless/handmade. I think there is probably something for everyone here. I spent over 2 hours combing all the women's clothes and got some good stuff. Pictured is my haul: a dress, jumpsuit, cardigan, 6 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, and one pair of leather shoes for a total of $29.55. Also included pic of my receipt so you can see what the prices are like. All in all this place is great for the basics. There are cool vintage/unique treasures if you have time to dig. I don't know why the people who wrote bad reviews are hung up on customer service--this is the type of place where you definitely have to figure everything out yourself. So what? It's cheap as hell and that's the point.

    It's one of the largest Village Discount Outlet locations in the city of Chicago. You can find many stores and restaurants on the W. 26th. in the Little Village neighborhood. If you're a seasoned thrifter, I do recommend this location because this store has three (3) large floors. They have a dedicated floor for women's ready-to-wear and accessories (the ground floor), great selections on both men's and children's apparel and accessories, plus electronics (second floor), a plenty of books, vinyls, and furniture (third floor). They do have restrooms for patrons, but they didn't appear to be sanitary enough to my standard. Thus, utilize them at your own risk for sure. For the most part, Village Discount Outlet stores can be pretty dirty and antiquated. Well, you're thrifting, so there's no VIP or luxury kind of service catered to your needs. Somehow you have to get over this so that you can enjoy yourself. For me, thrifting is similar to riding a time-machine; I was born in 1985, and I missed the late 80's and early 90's fashion, music, and electronics. I've found many vintage Blazers and I LOVE wearing them. They are functionally practical (having REAL pockets, not the faux ones) and those pockets are deep enough to slip my cellular phone in (yes, so I can yelp and snap some pictures quickly and discreetly). Hubby scored a webcam for $5 and some change. He didn't want to wait until the half-off sale, which is on Saturday and Sunday (03/28 and 03/29). I know there's something called the "early bird special," yet I never bother to inquire one of the associates about this. Hubby and I thrift a lot, but we do this leisurely. Hence, we can occasionally miss out the sales and will be fine with it!

    RIDICULOUS PRICING NOW This toy doll close to $20.00

    All of their pricing at this location has skyrocketed. The store barely has customers at any given time, because they have all gone elsewhere. This is now a typical price for a toy doll. Mind you, this isn't any special doll. But the fact that it's clean, I guess, makes it worth $16.20 in a thrift store. It's a used toy that someone donated. I don't know what the pricing dept. is smoking, but someone please remind them that this is a thrift store.

    My husband and I are at your location in chicago, address in the subject line. Spoke with a manager because an item we were attempting to by had a tag on it with a date so needed her approval to buy it. Can't give you her name because she wouldn't give it to us. She called her worker Francisco, don't know what they talked about because they refused to talk in English. Francisco started to go to the elevator to meet my husband upstairs. My husband was behind him, he told my husband he can't take the elevator but would meet him up there, on the 3rd floor after just coming back down from walking all three flights ot stairs. When wre asked if the male worker who helped us originally could show him, they said yes, then Francisco now wants to walk up the three flights of stairs that he wouldn't walk up with my husband.  The manager says sometimes to Francisco in spanish then they both walk off. After standing there for 25 min, they never returned to sale us what we came there for. I feel so discriminated against and disrespected. I would never spend my time and or money in another village discount store. This was my first and last time ever patronizing a store that treat their customers that way.

    Awful overpriced place, management is very rude and prejudice, plus they scan their items and price them identical to ebay prices.

    My in-laws got me some free money to see "Ross!" Ok, I'm SO NOT cheating on my hubby. In fact, I…read morebelieve "Ross," in this case, "Ross Dress for Less," is virtually gender-less. February in a retail store is really a transitional month. Many discount places like RDFL wouldn't be fully-stocked since major markdowns just happened in January. Technically, this RDFL location is in the Village of Cicero. Their Yelp page needs some corrections on this. West end of "Little Village" is north of Cicero village limit. The beauty department is always atrocious in any RDFL location I've visited. Customers, please go easy on those bottles and try not to open them. Rosa J. and other innocent patrons don't want to experience the "Pandora's Box" effect. Yes, your actions may seem innocuous, yet consequences are going to huge and detrimental. Women's clothing wasn't doing too hot, either. That department apparently has been picked over. Their home department was semi-decent. I spotted the Chinese zodiac mugs. However, they were missing the ox and the tiger. With that being said, I had to pass at the this time due to the incompletion. My one (1) and a half stars were given to the store manager who was vigilant enough to notice the line to the cashier was getting uncontrollably long. He called in an additional cashier to help out. Thank you for your wise decision-making skills. The remainder of the stars went to the cashier who rang me up. Even though she didn't initially know how to process a Ross gift card, she didn't frenetically press the wrong keys and immediately ask for assistance. Well, she did attempt to figure this out on her own. At least she knew that wasting time would have a negative effect on their checkout efficiency. By the way, if you ever return an item that you purchased at RDFL, plan extra time since there's usually one (1) designated cash register open for this purpose, unless they get extremely busy. This RDFL location isn't really conveniently accessible via public transportation. I know 54B (South Cicero) and 35 (31st./35th.) have a stop at the corner of Cicero and 30th. There's no pedestrian traffic light and is kind of dangerous to cross the road.

    Where do I begin. Well when you first walk in the first thing i noticed was how crowded and…read moredisorganized it was. Everything was on the floor and there was no room to really walk anywhere. Got lucky with finding a couple cool toys for my baby but that's it. I didnt even want to look through the clothes. Never again do I want to come back.
