D & J Thrift

This place is AWESOME. Could be very overwhelming for an inexperienced thrifter though… there is so much stuff that you can barely navigate through the aisles. I don’t know what would happen if you were to try to purchase a piece of furniture… it would definitely take a while to move it out.
There is TONS of stuff here at GREAT prices, but it is unorganized. I love that you never know what you’ll find out here. Definitely worth a stop!

Wow — this place has TONS of stuff! I would agree that they need to up their standards when putting stuff on the shelves to sell.
My first thought walking in was that the place was a total mess. Literally, stuff shoved EVERYWHERE. Tiny, narrow walkways, constantly stepping overs stuff — just a hot mess. There is somewhat of an attempt to keep things organized by category of items but there is so much stuff they need more room.
Secondly, the prices were WAY higher than any other thrift store I’ve been too. Shockingly higher. I picked up an old beat up plastic Budweiser sign and it was 25 $.
I will say, the people were very nice and the parking wasn’t bad.

This thrift shop is definitely not lacking the amount of merchandise. I don’t mind a little digging through shelves and whatnot trying to find collectibles or unique pieces, so this shop didn’t bother me too much. Unfortunately, the heat and dust did. I could probably even deal with the dust if it wasn’t just so stinkin’ hot! Even so, if you’re a thrifter or collector, you should definitely give it a shot. The collectable pieces I found were priced well and lower than other locations.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of stuff. Some of that stuff is great. Some good. Some trash. I don’t know if the owners know the difference though. Some items are waaaaaayyyy over priced because they’re «vintage» or «antique.» Repeat after me: old does NOT mean valuable.
And here’s another thing that really gets under my skin. As a resident of the area in which D&J is housed, I hate driving by with all their unsellable garbage piled out front of their business. Sandford and Son at least knew what they were doing and had a catchy theme song. D&J just looks like a junk storage lot. There are three other places in Orange that do the same thing and it makes our town look like a trash collection site. Who’s buying the crap outside anyway? They leave their stuff out in the rain and snow and still charge $ 100 for the soaked loveseat! Seriously!!!
There are better places to get better deals and it won’t feel like you have to pick your own garbage.

The building is super-​packed and full of all sorts of stuff, junk, donated used furniture, antiques, vintage, etc. You may experience stimulus overload, but it could be a cool place to rummage and find an unusual item. I always seem to walk out of there with no less than a handful of stuff and the staff is friendly and helpful. For those who love to rummage and the spirit of «junking», it’s pretty great.

This place is a thrift store in the truest sense. But be sure you’ve set aside one hour minimum when shopping here. It’s jammed packed. Toward the front is mostly furniture, (however among the tables and chairs you just may find sets of antiquated books and VHS tapes). Toward the back are various rooms, hallways, nooks and crannies. There’s one room dedicated to books alone. There’s a loose organization to the items, but you still need to do a lot of digging. If you’re a true thrifter, you wont mind this. Today my husband and I walked out with 8 VHS tapes, several cookbooks, a 4 yard piece of wool fabric, 2 books of charcoal drawings (artist unknown) and a handful of beads for Mardi Gras and 2 pairs of fine Italian leather gloves. Be warned there is very little clothing if any and use the restroom elsewhere.
