Holy Redeemer Thrift Store

Yesterday was my very first experience at a thrift store and I couldn’t have been more pleased. My dad and I went to look for rugs and dining sets and we walked out with three items that ended up being under $ 100 total. The staff are very friendly. I would go back again.

Holy Redeemer Thrift Store is terrific. All items are price to «move» quickly. This benefits those of us looking interesting pieces at bargain prices. And, it benefits our Community by providing young families and those on modest income the opportunity to buy quality goods and necessities: bedroom sets, kitchen equipment and clothing, etc. There is also senior discount of 25% each Thursday evening. One evening we bought a beautiful maple hutch, marble topped dresser, and a Philadelphia House wing chair for a incredibly low price. Holy Redeemer’s team delivered and installed the items in our home for under $ 100.00. They were professional, charming and fast. I can’t wait to go back and check out what’s in store.

I recently revisited Holy Redeemer and was pleasantly surprised by the new rearrangement. The silent auction looks better than ever.
Prices have risen slightly and now reflect its competition. DVDs are a few cents cheaper than elsewhere, and less desirable ones are marked lower (as opposed to a standard pricing that has a popular movie selling for the same as, for instance, a yoga video or financial advice freebie). The best buys at Redeemer though seem to be the furniture.
I’ve knocked off a star from my previous review for the insanely marked up books. Many paperbacks were as high as $ 2.00, and hardbacks were even higher. Even children’s books.

They have sections in their book department called «Female Authors» and «Male Authors.» I never quite understood this. Do many people get a hankering to read a new book and they think, «Damn, I could really go for a book written by a man…» Too funny.
At times Holy Redeemer a bit pricier than some other thrift stores, but that doesn’t mean you won’t ever find a deal. Sometimes I am surprised to find really nice stuff for not a lot of money. This is a great thrift store to go to if «granny chic» is the style you’re going for, because I almost always feel like I am rummaging through my grandma’s house here.
You can find vintage linens, kitchenware, and décor all over this store. You might need to scour the shelves to find something valuable, but if you’re looking for something unique, this place is full of them. They have lots of books, junk jewelry, clothes, glassware, and furniture. If you sign up for their email list, you can get frequent-​buyer discounts (must spend at least $ 12 to have it tally points for your visit), they send you regular emails with coupons and sales. Overall, a very nice store. One I don’t often go out of my way to go visit, but if I am passing by, I can’t say No. :)

Clean and well organized. Nice stuff but pricier than other thrift store.

I feel bad saying this about a store that sells donated items and gives the money to a hospital, but Holy Redeemer has gone downhill!
They used to have the BEST stuff in here! Now you have to scour to maybe find something that is interesting.
They do have a pretty cool silent auction set up. Their nicer things are kept in a glass cabinet with numbers on them, and you can write in a bid for it.
I do like to come here, the prices really can’t be beat!
