Salvation Army

This is a big, bountiful store, especially on Wednesdays, when all clothing, and «anything you can wear» is 50% off. Plus, whatever tag color is selected that week, is also 50% off, meaning there will be selected items in all departments eligible for the 50% discount as well. Unfortunately, baby clothes are plentiful but overpriced; the 50% off sale brings baby clothes to a more average price of $ 1 – 2, which is higher than I usually pay. However, bargains are to be had for adult clothing and childrens’ clothes. I bought about a dozen quality items here for my niece, and they were mostly $ 1 or $ 2 because of the 50% off sale.
Parking is pretty bad on Wednesdays, but people find somewhere to park. I believe that Saturday is furniture sale day, but I have never been. There is always an interesting piece that I would consider picking up if I had an empty house. The lines are long but move quickly. Overall, this store ties as my favorite Salvation Army.

Nice store and lots of furniture, knick-​knacks, and books; My main complaint is the prices on their clothing. I mean, really the stuff WAS donated, why such high prices? Esp. on items like plain T-​shirts, etc., that you can get cheaper for new at your local Kmart, Target, etc.

The hunt is o n ! There’s literally thousands of clothing items at this location, with several fitting rooms as well to try on everything. You’ll find a lot of wardrobe staples here for both males and females of a l l ages (even in the cute baby sections!). There’s also the occasional gem piece here and there, but beware– it’s hidden within the thousands of other clothing items that’re bursting from the racks. But there’s more to this store then just clothes– s o much more. As previously Unilocaled, there’s an extensive furniture selection which counterbalances the abundant appliance and miscellaneous items. Although the appliance and miscellaneous section of the store is largely disorganized, I saw several workers constantly relocating whatever previous customers had carelessly misplaced. The book section is a s e r i o u s steal! Much of the inventory was in near-​perfect condition and current– often with multiple copies of the same books in both hard– and paper– back. The same caliber of quality carries over to all sections, and really presents the most affordable yet adorable options for the greater public.

I mean I really haven’t given any thrift store less than 5 stars. how can you complain about dirt cheap stuff?!? The have lots of large furniture (dressers, cabinets, dining sets, chairs, etc.) here, compared to the other ones in NE DC. The quality of all the items are also top notch. I didn’t come here looking for used clothes so I can’t voucher for that, and their «knick knack» area is lacking charm and uniqueness, but their extensive furniture area makes up for it! We came here and got a large dresser, around 5 ft long, and 2.5 ft deep for $ 60. That thing was SOLID oak, it was sooo freaking heavy! Now it’s currently being used as our kitchen island. We’ve also pulled up the back and dropped off some goodies. You are in and out with a receipt quicker than it takes to pump gas.
