St Vincent De Paul Thrift Store

I am trying to make sense of this place. It’s huge, which is nice but it seems to have a large section of furniture. I found a table I fell in love with it was unique but it was overpriced for being used and the seats looking like a cat had it’s way with it. For the other items it was sparse. Like the children’s section didn’t have much to offer in toys or anything else. The kitchen section was limited to a small area and again, was like pick and then there is nothing. Kinda confused,

Just got 12 cute new address books $ 3 total and 4 video tapes for the kids $ 1 no black friday shopping for me today. located next to yhe cat wash so had my car done while there. priced a little high for donated items but profits arr for a good cause not rich businessmen but people in need

This thrift store is not at the top of my list for several reasons:
1) they seem a bit dirtier than many others, especially compared to the Friends of Strays, which manages to feel and smell clean despite their regular showcasing of pets. St Vincent’s always feels dusty and grungy, and I’ve occasionally had spates of wheezing here
2) their pricing is really bizarre. While I love the fact that their books are so cheap — up to ten books for a dollar and the only reason I stop by — other items, such as cheesy wooden plaques and «art» appear to be way overpriced
3) their quality is low in general. For example, though their book pricing is great, I typically only find volumes that are suitable for cutting up to supply my collage art. It is rare to see something I would actually want to read. Also, I gave up on rummaging through their clothing after two visits
In general, some people might find it worth the occasional visit (I do), but there are far better options around.

Like many thrift stores, the selection is hit or miss. I admit, it was a bit oddly organized but it is a large store with many options.
There are many women’s shoes, some very good quality ones.
All of the merchandise was strangely priced. Some items were incredibly reasonable, such as a modern leather chair for $ 49 but then there was a strange cheap stuffed clown for $ 15. Many items were not marked at all, the shoes are listed as $ 4 and up, but do not have individual price tags.
I would return, but without any real expectations.

In town on vacation. This place is average. The clothing selection was sub-par…a decent amount of clothes but not much substance. It also was organized a little confusing. I didn’t see but one vintage clothing article in this store and it was a wedding dress. I ended up buying a tye-​dye look velvet dress from the Limited and a few tees. The prices on clothes were average.
I also got some picture frames and knick nacks. I’d say the jewelry was overpriced. I wanted to look at a clutch… it was made in China and $ 25…too much. Shoes were also not budget friendly.
The big problem I had with this store was that I asked about other local thrift stores. They mentioned the Salvation Army but claimed they were overpriced compared to SVDP. I think it was sour grapes because I thought the Salvation Army’s clothing prices were the same or cheaper (plus, they do 50% of certain color tags).
I’d say visit if you are already in the area but don’t make a special trip. Best for random trinkets but not much more.
I’d say 2.5 but I rounded up.
