Last Chance Thrift Store

There are good deals to be found here, if you’re patient and willing to sift through things. It can be a little overwhelming to go through the entire store, so I just do one section per visit.
Definitely cheaper than most of the other thrift stores in the area, but organization is lacking. But they also open earlier than other stores, so it’s a good little trip after I drop off the kid at preschool.

I was there yesterday for half price monday. First time there, it smelled bad, was trashy. On the other hand their store on peachtree industrial is a jewel.

I think 3.5 stars would be a perfect rating for this store, but I’ll round up. I went on the half off Mondays. It was pretty packed in there, but I found all what I wanted and more. I got 6 sweaters and a dress for about $ 19! Yes, I know I was pleasantly surprised as well. And all were in pretty good shape. I noticed some of the items had stains on them or were really weathered. For example, there was a leather jacket there that had parts of the leather missing so it was gray. I guess they don’t have super high standards in accepting clothes but if you really take your time and look, it’s a good chance you’ll find something. Also, the hat and scarf section is lacking. At least they have fitting rooms.

This is what thrift stores are meant to look like! Old school huge display of all kinds of weird and beautiful things and clothes. I love Goodwill but it is starting to look like Target. This place is the REAL McCoy … talk to Joe he runs the place. Happy hunting!

Yeaaaaaah boooooy! (in my Flava Flav voice) I was super stoked when I walked into this place for the first time last Friday (well not when I first walked in). Ok, so its a thrift store. It’s dingy and dust as shit in there BUT its huge and I found some great treasures that I cant wait to revamp! I found a dresser for $ 34.99 that I can refinish and a few heavy boxes that can me made as side tables or seating. My cheap ass walked out and returned the next day. I had to sleep on it. I walk back in first thing Saturday morning with my fingers crossed, hoping the items were still there. Yippeee! They were. So when the guy wrote the ticket for me, I asked if they had any sales. He told me that everything was half off on Mondays hmmmm my frugal mind began to wonder if I should wait. He suggested that I shouldn’t and pointed to a severely broken chest and said that «THAT will be gone on Monday. Its packed in here on Monday’s» Ok, ok so I got it. I couldn’t beat that. The dresser was in good condition and its just what I was looking for. I asked the cashier if I could pay for the items and pick them up another day — they allow three days. Cool I went back on Sunday to pick them up.
I told a girlfriend about a piece that we could use for the studio and suggested that she try to get it on sale. It was gone on Monday. Now I know how serious this place can be. It wasn’t a fancy piece at all and it was gone. Sure wished that I could’ve gotten eh dresser for $ 17 rather than $ 35, but im glad I didn’t take that chance to wait.
I think I’ve gotten over my thrifted clothing phase, now I just want some furniture that I can bring back to life and this is the place to get it!

Lot of clothing items here. Other stuff, not so much.

Went there accidentally for a spur of the moment item bought 3 items on a Monday for $ 3 & change. I’ll be going back.

I really enjoyed my visit at this store.
I found about ten things
2 Pairs of jeans
A super nice name brand top
Adidas track jacket
a skirt
two figurines
travel bags
cosmetic bag
and a purse
I spent $ 30 total. Awesome!
This is a great haul for me. The store is very organized. I love the space. Its huge in here! The prices are decent but made even better that there is something half off. On Mondays, everything is half off!
They also have a really good selection of plus size clothing.
The staff was friendly and fast.
Oh and the furniture is more towards the «get-​you-​by» end of the spectrum but you can find good usable pieces like chairs and coffee tables and also beds.
I think this is a GREAT thrift store!!!

This is not the most fabulous thrift store on the face of the planet, but I REALLY enjoy it. I try to go on Mondays because of the half off sale, but they have plenty of half off stuff on every other day too. This is the warehouse-​type place where you’re going to have to sift through a lot of junk to find something good, but it is generally well organized and items aren’t too junky. Of course there is junk, but then again, this IS thrift store, yes? It definitely has a somewhat dirty smell as would any warehouse full of cast-​off items, but you take your treasures home, throw them in the wash, and you’re good to go. One time I got 3 pairs of pants, 2 capris, several shirts, and a couple of pairs of shoes for around $ 25. It was a good day.

This place is cool. Very big warehouse style store, so it’s kind of a trek to venture around the entire store, but it’s much better /​cooler than their last location. Prices are very fair (roughly the same price as Value Village but not as pricey as Goodwill).

This place is actually really cool.
It probably the sketchiest location and parking situation I have ever seen — it is basically just a giant warehouse on the side of the road. You walk in, and it doesn’t smell great or even look great, but it is huge and filled to the brim with hidden treasures. As someone has mentioned, it looks and feels exactly like a thrift store feels so don’t come expecting some trendy, chic little joint.
I always come on Monday because everything is half off. My roommate and I scour these shelves and usually spend most of our money in the back room off the left. The entire front of the store holds just clothes and accessories. The organization of it isn’t exactly on point, but it is easy enough to navigate in my opinion. Dressing rooms can be really nerve wracking because they are often full and when you do manage to snag one, only a thin, unraveling curtain separates your naked body from the world. But if you like adventure, it is definitely an experience.
Anyway, I haven’t bought much clothes here, but I have found a lot of clothes I would buy at really good prices. I have spent more of my money on the awesome Christmas stuff, DVDS, home décor, and glasses all of which are incredibly cheap and also half-​off on Monday.
This place isn’t the most amazing thing in the world, but I have never left disappointed or annoyed at myself for spending too much so if that is the case, then I can’t complain.

It’s a thrift store! Not an antique, consignment or vintage store. In saying that, it’s a little dusty and cluttered. BUT… there are treasures to be found. I personally am one of the few who occasionally wait in line on Mon to get 1^st dibs on things as soon as they open. I am a stay at home mom with 5 kids so the values I get here go a long way. I bought a stainless steel gas grill for $ 24. Woman’s Designer dresses with tags still on for $ 2 – 3. Department store brand childrens jeans & clothing for $ 1 – 2 a piece (justice, children’s place, gap, land’s end, hannah anderson, etc.)
Mondays EVERYTHING is ½ off. The other days of the week certain things are discounted 50% according to a particular color. I believe Thurs is senior citizen day.
It’s not the mall but, if you don’t mind filtering through another mans trash to find your treasure, there are plenty of deals here.

This location has moved to N. Decatur Rd by Kroger, address unknown because they haven’t posted it to their website. The sign reads, LC Thrift Store and they have a large sign at the old location pointing you to where it is.
Just thought I’d put that out there.

Honestly? There’s stuff in this store that should just be in the trash. I lasted 5 minutes and then I made a quick exit. I love to thrift, but I just couldn’t justify spending $ 5 on a crusty, dusty, lint ball infused Target sweater that has seen better days.

This is a traditional thrift store in the vein of most Goodwill’s. The clothing is sorted by size (not by color as in Goodwill). The store is not sparkling clean, but not trashy dirty either. Employees were helpful.

I was just checking the hours. I never go to Last Chance on Friday nights. Gas is too expensive to waste. I saw the bad reviews and felt compelled to write one of my own. The people with lukewarm comments are bad at thrift stores. There is no shame in it. Just as I could not walk into a wilderness area and come out with dinner, they cannot pick the interesting items out of the junk. It takes skill.
Last Chance is one of my favorites. Most of my shirts and jeans have come off their racks since I moved to Atlanta almost four years ago. My best find was an early twentieth century commemorative stein. German men bought them as mementos after they completed mandatory military service before WWI. I am a history major at Agnes Scott College and could write a paper on the scenes painted on the sides. I paid $ 6.99 and have every reason to think mine is authentic. It is in superb condition. They sell for $ 300-​$ 500. That is where skill comes in. I could tell it was old. I would never have given it a second look if I had not been able to see that the ceramic was painted and of a different, higher-​quality consistency that the average Budweiser mug. Mom makes a living selling things she finds in places like this. We love to go together. There is almost always plenty for both of us. Last week, we found a working serger for under $ 50.00.
Chris O. is right. If you want and can afford something, grab it. I made the mistake of thinking about whether I wanted some ostritch skin cowboy boots enough to pay $ 14.00 for them. They vanished, resurfaced the following week in L5P for $ 61.00. Thirfting takes knowledge, fairly specific goals, and a stronger stomach than Courtney M.‘s. Thrift stores have dirt and creepy patrons almost by definition. If that bothers you, consignment boutiques, eBay, or Etsy might be more your speed. I have seen better than Last Chance but not many times. Overall, this is a great place, thrifting as it should be. Learn to look. You might find something worth having or selling.

*They will be moving to a new location in a couple of months.
I don’t think a lot of people under stand this place. The good stuff is gone quick. You need to be there when they bring stuff out. If you do not like a little bit of digging and treasure hunting, you will not like this place. Seen and bought vintage books, clocks, luggage, glassware. I’ve seen some mid century furniture come and go, but their furniture prices are overpriced than some other thrift stores in the area.
If you go to their website, you can print coupons! Coupons? for Thrift Store? Yes!

This place is huge, even if it is kind of scary, ie: creepy patrons and a little dirty.
I haven’t found anything worth writing home about in their furniture/​housewares section, but if you have the time, the clothing racks are miles long and full of goodies. I’ve been in here twice and walked out with a few great finds.
I enjoy wandering around here, because even if I find something, it isn’t going to break the bank, and I don’t feel guilty coming home with it. Thrifting is a fun way to while away the time without worrying about getting too carried away.

Last Chance, yes, this is last chance before most of these clothes hit the dumpster. I do consider myself to be very creative with my fashion, but here it was sheer madness. People running into you with picked over selections made this place a no bueno shopping experience. Nothing really jumped out to me. While I do appreciate how it was separated by size, but other than that, I think I am going to stick with Goodwill on Buford Highway.
Oh, and some creepy person tried to lure me to his car and asked me if I wanted a dog… right and the sign in the parking lot for the place sounded like it was going to fly away and crash into a car.

A truly truly incredible place. By far, the largest thrift store I’ve ever set eyes on. I came in need of a ridiculous 80’s outfit, and oh yes, I found one. 4lbs of sequins, mesh neckline a la Nancy Kerrigan, and colors only seen together on Dynasty.
Monday are ½ off, making the finds you come across all the better. Housewares and furniture were incredibly picked over with nothing worthy of a spot in my abode. Clothing is the real bread and butter here, with tons and tons in all ranges of shapes and sizes. They put the «high end» pieces up front, and surprisingly that’s where I found my lovely little number.
I’ll be back. Don’t you worry.
