Value Village

Used to be super cheap but their prices suddenly doubled.

SUPER cheap!
I always come out with a treasure!
I have found old trophies that make AMAZING gag gifts for about 40 cents, business suits in my size for about $ 10, brand names like Anne Klein, Banana Republic, and I’ve bought a lot for my little niece there as far as clothing. TONS to look through. Be prepared to spend some time but very little money and I’m sure you’ll find a great trinket.
The furniture prices don’t seem discounted at all.
The clothing, housewares, and stuff behind the glass counters are always full of great items.
The staff is super friendly and nice too.

This store is a really good place to shop. It is very inexpensive, and you can find items with a good value for cheap. My favorite day is the half price off, when everything is 50% off. It can get pretty crowded, but its totally worth it. I have came out with lots of items including electronics for my computer, and etc much more.

Hell yeah! I found a flat screen and a keyboard for my computer and they both came out to 12 bucks! I put together a Linux box for practice at home and this is the place to get cheap computer parts and Ethernet cables. I even found a smoothy blender for 6 bucks! This is gonna be one of my thrift stores for real.

First of all the place smells, like old dirty socks. Clothes are sorted by color not size, so you basically have to sort through everything to find your size. I don’t have that kind of time or patience. I’m sure there are plenty of good finds but sorting by size would save a lot of time. Also something I found disturbing were used wigs hanging on the back wall! How sanitary is that? Disgusting! You probably have to be a real flea market junkie to enjoy this place. I walked out empty handed. Smh

It’s the luck of the draw with any thrift store, but with the surrounding area being lower economical, it means that the items donated are already of low quality. The lines for check out were each 20+ people deep but that didn’t get the numerous employees that were idly chatting to open more lanes.

People might give thrift stores a bad rap. My thing is, I would seek those thrift stores out and shop there. Why? Because I like slightly tacky, old, unfound clothes that the ‘normal’ shopper would hiss at.
That’s right. I like the Memorial Value Village because it is just that. No one in my subculture goes there, therefore I find gems. GEMS. Gems guys, vintage dresses, cool t-​shirts, rad shoes, the best of the best.
I can spend hours here. Its my ‘secret’ spot.
You’re welcome.

This is an average thrift store. Many items I wouldn’t wear and a few that were very cute. I filled my cart with clothing… but couldn’t find a dressing room. Being a curvy lady, it takes trying on a lot of outfits in order to find one which looks flattering and fits me properly. Turns out, this store doesn’t have to a place for you to try on clothes before purchase! Their policy is that you can return clothes for store credit-​only within 7 days of purchase with your original receipt. It isn’t reasonable to repeatedly return outfits until I find something which fits. Maybe I’m cheap or old-​fashioned because I believe in making sure clothes fit before spending money. Either way, because of this store’s policy, I won’t shop here.

I visit this Value Village location probably once a year or so as it’s not near anything I typically need to go to. I’ve never been disappointed, however, and always leave the store with something in hand.
This past visit I came on a Wednesday and found that most of the store was 50%, excluding furniture. It was a freaking madhouse. To get through the aisles, to look at the rack you wanted to, to check out… just a ton of people looking for a deal. It took me a good 15 minutes in line because of the shear amount of stuff people had in their carts. I went to another Value VIllage about a month ago and found that they had the same deal on a Wednesday. Not sure if all the locations in Atlanta do this, but it is a really great bargain on already affordable stuff. I walked out with 5 shirts — 2 of which were a New York Jets jersey and a local hockey jersey — all for $ 5. Personally, I enjoy the clothing selection the most at this location. Tons and tons of racks. I’ve also found a unique table to hold my record player and records some years ago.
