Deseret Industries Thrift Store

I find a little something in each mini department – great selection and plenty of work clothes

Just shopped here for the first time. They have a ton of games and puzzles. I bought several. Didn’t see much of interest in housewares, and only briefly looked at clothes. I’ll be back, though.

I really wish some thrift stores would at least take the time to wash the clothes before selling them for overpriced amounts… Eliminate odors and provide cleanliness and overall quality of items.

Great selection and great prices. Overall appearance of the store was neat and tidy, not to mention organized. This thrift store is definitely one of the first ones I go to before checking out the other local ones. Wonderful atmosphere. Parking can be a little hectic, but not a deal breaker.

Great great place to visit and shop, prices are low, they hace lots of household items, lots of furniture, come and check them out! Employees are friendly all the time. Very organized this is one of my favorites!

This thrift store is my favorite within the area. It’s very clean and bright in comparison to the other thrift stores that I’ve tried out within the area. I’m not a big thrifter but it resembles a regular retail store.
Customer service is pretty good for being a training program. Prices are low as well and the service is quick. They were bringing out new items even up to closing. Love it.

I love love love this place, I go here every time I need some new jeans, they usually have a great selection of plus size pants, and have been pretty consistent as far as the go. This past trip, I got two pairs of jeans, two shirts, two kids books and a pair of shoes for under 20 bucks, now I think that’s quite a steal. Their book selection is pretty good for a thrift store. I definitely recommend this place. No other store compares.

Prices are legit! one of the cheapest priced thrift stores ive seen with quality items. Give and take, I also donate my extra clothing to this particular thrift store too.

Dont change! i love the way things are

The place is always super clean and well organized. I’ve never been a big thrift shopper before but this place is a lot more welcoming then most. Their prices are excellent. All of the employees were very nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend going to Deseret Industries.

This is a really great thrift store. It is well organized and has large selection of all varieties. The price are low and the staff are friendly. I recommend you go here for pretty much anything from indoor to outdoor items. …that is food and drinks not included of course lol

This is how this thrift compares to goodwill on a 1 to 10 scale.

What I don’t really lie about Deseret Industries is their business hours. Like many other’s working a 9 to 5 job, we have no choice but to pick from the bottom of the barrel since by the time we get there they are going to close soon. They used to close at a later time so I don’t know what happened nor is it any of my business but I just have to say they are a bit disappointing on that aspect. This place gets packed with tourists from across the border even more so than goodwill but what can you really expect from chulajuana. My car is full of dings and scratches just by being in the parking lot for the little amount of time I have left to browse there. It’s infuriating.
Whenever you go there do yourself a favor and try to park on the street.

The wonders of thrift stores are so wonderful?!? I have always heard the benefits of thrifting and was just too lazy to drive to a thrift store and see what they had to offer. Well, after this visit, I will probably never buy a frame or even a table else where ever again unless I needed it specially designed. I needed a few frames to decorate my apartment with and I found so many that I had a hard time deciding. I just stood there for a good 10 minutes just browsing. They also have a pretty nice selection of tables and drawers for cheap prices. If you’re into repurposing and DIYing, this place might be a good place to start. Move over Ikea, you’ve found competition.

A lot of places on Unilocal get high reviews when they really suck! This place is actually nice. Everything is organized and clean. The staff was putting out new things the whole time I was there. I only spent $ 5 and I got a dress and a book. I was pretty excited.

Thanks to Unilocal,I found this gem. I didn’t look at the clothes really they seemed very organized though! Overall this is the most organized thrift store I’ve ever been in. The staff was so friendly, and welcoming, they seemed quite attentive to customers. Selection was wonderful, indoor and outdoor home décor, furniture, kitchen needs, lots of books (my favorite thrift store finds!) crafts, tons of purses and bags, sporting goods, and more! The only thing they’ve were lacking in was small kitchen appliances which I’m sure that will change as they get new things in. I was very pleased with my findings. They had a huge selection of wicker baskets! I had been searching for a nice one for my bathroom. I found the perfect color and size but it didn’t have a price tag, when I checked out I was charged $ 1! One dollar for a basket that I would have easily been charged $ 15 for at a craft or home décor store? Yes I’ll take it! I will definitely be back!

This place is clean, and well organized.
Don’t go here– leave all the good stuff for me, damn it.

One of the best thrift stores I’ve been to! Good selection (even better for women due to how many choices there are) and it’s organized beyond belief (by color, size, etc… they even label the size of the pants/​trousers on the tag just in case you can’t find it — how thoughtful). The employees are friendly and the last time I went (about a week and a half ago) they had two pianos in the back SO that’s awesome.

This is probably my favorite thrift store, every time I go there I walk away with great stuff. I average shirts for $ 3-​$ 4, and jeans/​pants for $ 5-​$ 10. :)
The clothes selection is always great, I think they check them for wear and tear because I have only ONCE come across a shirt with a stain on it. The employees are really nice too, that and how clean the store is makes it a pleasure to come here. I am a fan of thrift stores that DON’T smell, unlike some other ones I’ve been too…
Their furniture prices are amazing, too bad I don’t have a bigger house! ;)
BTW they don’t open until 10 am Mon-​Sat and they are closed Sundays.

I am from east county, and I started thrifting in south bay after finding a thrift auction in san ysidro. I LOVE this store. Its pretty big, but SO organized, and the racks are circles not long isles, so this makes looking through clothes a breeze. I found many gems here, and some deadstock items from the 80s.
Well organized, good selection, some nice home items, shoes were MEH. This will definitely be a stop on my thrifting spree when I am in Chula Vista.

This is the best thrift store in Chula Vista especially for clothes.
I get all of my golf shirts here and they look brand new and I think they are.
They have all of their clothing sized to make it easy to find the right fit.
Excellent and organized.
The best!
