Value Village Thrift Store

I just moved to the area from Austin, and found a great selection at Value Village today what a hidden gem! I will def be back, and the prices are great too. Its worth checking out highly recommend! :) 5 Stars!

I never thought I’d give this Value Village 3 stars, but I definitely am not a fan of their new changes. Value Village used to have 25%, 50% and 75% off colored tags daily, but now they only have 50% off 1 colored tag per day. It also seems like they increased their prices! I used to be a regular customer, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back for a while.

I normally love this store. I’m a thrift store addict, but when I went in for cheap Halloween costumes, there isn’t any. Kids costumes starting at 20.00! Some 25.00, even 35.00! Yikes! We went to Good Will instead and found the same things for 4.99…

3.75 stars.
it can be hit or miss.
Watch for sales and fill out an application for membership for special sales.
When filling out the application, take note that the ARC will phone your house for $ donations.
I hate whatever spray they use in the back. It smells so strong of chemicals/​sprays if I get near the door to the back room it makes me sick. Smells like some sort of bug spray back there.
I went to the ½ price sale this past weekend. The lady of maturity that was dealing with the people coming out of the dressing rooms/​return to floor rack needs additional customer service skills. It IS her job to make sure the clothes that come out of the dressing rooms get returned to their proper places. No need to huff and puff about it!
All I asked was if this was the return clothes rack and she gave me ‘tude.
I do like this place, it does have great bargains. I do see the same brands here over and over. This makes me think that the stock that they can’t sell at some nearby chain stores go here. yes, some stock brand new.
I will be back… very cost effective.

I love it here! Such a variety of everything and prices are pretty darn low! However checking out at the register does take FOREVER.

Clean. Affordable. Friendly staff. Organized. It’s the best thrift shop I’ve been to in this area. Price tag reductions occur everyweek and there is a $ 2 tag Thursday alonge with 25% off Mondays… There are some senior perks too. Not like the other shops where they reduce a color tag that you cant find any of. I found alot of nice trendy clothes in 16ish sizes. That’s hard to find at a regular store. I’m hooked to this joint.

Value Village is part of the Arc!
What an awesome organization!
Since 1954, The Arc Oregon has been serving Oregonians with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Blessed their heart, volunteers and wage workers who sort through junk to find the gold.
I’m moving in the next two weeks, and this whole last week, I have been taking thousands of donations, from clothing to furniture. And they take it ALL. And kindly give you a tax voucher and a discounted card for future purchases.
Yay for the people & the organization that Value Village represents!
Yay for their great customer service!

FIrst off I am not from here and once moving here I noticed that all Goodwills here are like outrageously pricing their items!
I found Value Village on Unilocal and decided to give it a chance. I almost always find something to buy here. While their prices are the same as Goodwill, it is awesome that they have 75%, 50% and 25% tags every week. This, in my opinion, beats Goodwill.
Sale associates are very friendly, dressing rooms are always clean-​ish (for a thrift store), and the racks are always very organized!

I went to value village today looking for a blender. I don’t want to shell out 200 – 500 bucks for one at Target, so I thought VV might be a place to find a cheaper used one. Their selection of kitchen machines is pitiful. No blenders at all, but hardly anything else either. They had a few coffeemakers, but that was it.
The clothing selection is HUGE. If I was looking for clothes, I could easily spend a fortune here. The prices look better than goodwill, but not as many name brands. They had a fair selection of worn out sporting goods. and lots of furniture.
I will be back again I’m sure. Never hurts to check.

Four stars for how clean and organized they keep this store. The prices, for some items, are less than Goodwill. They have a larger selection, too. However, if you are hoping for holiday awesome prices on certain things (like sweaters) expect to find them charging what you might pay on eBay or Craigslist. I looked at several with tags of $ 20. In other words, they try and make a profit as well. If you want every day items, the prices run a $ 2 — $ 3 less than Goodwill per item (for the most part). I do know I’d rather support this place since I know the dollars go local. The staff is nice as are the managers. I’ll go back. Oh, and they have daily (or weekly) extra discounts on certain tag colors. They have a sign up front that lets you know which tags have the discounts.

I have to admit that I was disappointed that Value Village has followed Goodwill’s suit and started pricing items more expensive than if you got them at Ross.
While I do find this store to be clean and organized, almost everything was more than I would want to pay at a thrift store. However; once at the register, the 3 items I purchased (that were not unreasonably priced) were another 25% off. That was a very nice surprise.
I also have NEVER seen a Halloween costume selection like the one they have, outside of a Halloween superstore. It’s incredible! The prices weren’t all that unreasonable either.
All and all, I left happy about my purchases and will be back the next time I have something specific in mind, that I don’t mind being gently used.

This store (and most value villages) are very nicely merchandised, especially compared to Goodwill.
There aren’t any fabulous finds here, but if you have a few minutes to browse, you’ll likely find something you’ve been needing.

Randomly walked into Value Village today and came out with bargain gold! Picked up 2 swivel bar chairs for my kitchen bar for less than $ 4! Managed to haggle them down from $ 5.99 to $ 1.99 and $ 4.99 to $ 1.25 due to «broken» backs that I could fix with some love.
I’ve found some very cool things, but mostly things that need love. They have a larger than expected book section which are filled with unusual & interesting titles scattered among raunchy romance novels, fundamentalist christian dogmatic literature and children’s books.
But this store is great, in spite of the random crazy personalities and beings roaming the store. Most of the patrons are elderly, a few are your roaming crafters and the rest are best left alone or given several aisle breadth, due to behavior or hygiene.

You know, things used to be much cheaper at thrift stores — back when I first started shopping at them way back in the early 1980’s you could find incredible deals on quality merchandise — antiques, vintage clothing, costume jewelry, quality luggage and things like that were a dime a dozen.
So if you haven’t been in a thrift store for a long time you are going to be in for a surprise — the prices. Prices aren’t rock bottom like they used to be. These stores are sources of Shabby Chic home décor, reusable goods and all the things that people who live a green life LOVE to buy and the prices at these stores has risen right along with the clientele.
The people who do the pricing at big thrift stores like Value Village are knowledgeable about what quality items (used) are worth. Value Village is not a charity organization. It is a for profit business that is affiliated with some great community programs, but that’s not quite the same.
So, that being said, this is a particularly clean and well run Value Village. The employees are very helpful (though usually quite busy) and provide very good customer service. The prices are all right, but if you look closely you can still find some real deals — just need to have a good eye and watch for their regular sales. I haven’t been to the Value Village over on the East side in ages (close to 5 years) so I can’t say how they compare, but I sure think they offer a good sized, clean & respectable thrift store with average prices for the area. They offer a discount for those who bring their donation items to them (which is a real nice perk of taking them there instead of some other places).

i was kind of underwhelmed by my one visit here. got some rain boots, pretty pricey, but they were the only ones in my size. I will go back and try again when I don’t have kids hanging off of me and pressuring me to move quick.
OK i’m amending my review. I got a TON of sweaters and pants in great condition today for suuuper cheap. My closet would never be full of gap and banana republic/​j crew stuff without stores like this. yay!
Bring a bag of stuff to donate to get a 20% off coupon!

It’s so so.
They have TONS of used clothes here. By tons, I meant row, after row, after row, and more rows of clothing items. Too bad none of them suits my style. Either you have to be 55 years old or better or you are little kids with no choice in picking your outfits.
I love to browse thrift stores for knick knacks and collectibles. This is where this place is kinda a let down. High prices for those items even after 50% off.
I will stick to Goodwill and Salvation Army for my bargain shopping. Maybe if I’m really bored, I will stop by here again… maybe…

Value Village is one of my favorite thrift stores. They are not as cheap as some, but they are not too expensive and what they have is generally in good shape and worth the price. Their selection of clothes for kids and adults, other than maternity, is vast; even maternity isn’t tiny, but somewhat more limited.
There’s also books, toys, kitsch, furniture, etc… It’s worth going in and having a look around, you might get lucky.

Value Village is my second home. (And you think I’m kidding.)
Way back in the day, this was the first thrift store I remember shopping in. I know it was before I could drive, and I don’t remember how I got there, or who I went with, but I remember — and still own — what I bought: a long vintage kelly green satin dress. Back then (over a decade ago — god, I’m getting old) it was sort of a joke. Of course, now I think it’s gorgeous …
Over the years, the Tigard Value Village has been so, so good to me. And who wants bite the feed that feeds you, you know? (Although it’s not all wine and roses … this store is probably responsible for my thrift shopping addiction. It’s like gambling!)
Prices have crept up, and I definitely balk a bit at the idea of paying $ 10 for used department store brand shirt, but there are real deals to be had throughout the store. Also, look for the 50% off sales each week on a new color tag, the 99 cent color tag sales on Mondays (be warned: it can be crazy on Mondays!) and, if you’re 55 or better, 25% off your entire purchase on Wednesdays. There are also periodic «50% off the whole store» days, usually around major holidays.
I mean … it’s clean, it’s bright, it’s huge, it’s cheap. A good proportion of the staff have worked there for-​EVER. It isn’t overrun by twenty-​something dudes with absurd facial hair or their girlfriends in Sally Jessy Raphael glasses. It pulls great donations from the westside suburbs. It has long hours. I mean, what is there not to like?
I don’t think I’ve ever left empty-​handed. That sort of scares me.

One of the very best thrift stores I’ve been in. I now apologize for mocking it during high school. Funny how your attitude changes once you have spend your OWN money on clothes, housewares, and everything else!
The store is clean, neat, well-​signed, extremely well-​stocked. And of course, VERY reasonably priced. I got 2 pairs of jeans, 3 board games, and a pair of cowboy boots for $ 30! Like most such stores, there weren’t many staff members, but they were cheerful, and even at noon on Saturday there was almost no wait in line.
TRIVIA: Cowboy boots reportedly trace back to Ghengis Khan, though the style was popularized by the first Duke of Wellington. All the fancy leather-​tooling and gold or silver toes are the results of Hollywood and are the reason a pair of boots can cost up to $ 60,000!

I’m enjoying living down the street from this Value Village. Great selection, that changes frequently. One cashier vehemently claimed that 5,000 new items go out each day. That seems… a) incredible b) ridiculous c) impossible d) mildly unlikely.
Regardless, it’s still a great thrift store. I haven’t been on a Monday in a while. But I know at other Value Villages– Monday is sometimes the cheapest day with the 99 cent specials for a certain color tag. What a deal!
