Catholic Charities Thrift Store

If you can’t find this store, don’t worry — you’re not going crazy. This is not the right location. The store is on S. Eastern. Lol.

Unilocal 365 CHALLENGE 2014−(345÷365) «Got Any Ugly Sweaters?»
This location is much bigger and cleaner than the other one on Rainbow Blvd. Our original mission was to locate a possible ugly sweater, but that didn’t happen.
Instead, I looked around the store to see what else was available– Furniture, tons of jewelry, Christmas/​party decorations, tons of vintage items and clothing, and my favorite spot to look at, COOKBOOKS! It’s all about the thrill of the hunt in shops like these, and I scored a cookbook in great condition for just a buck!
They also have daily specials and on our visit, it was 50% off clothing and buy on get one free on the shoes. Stop by if you’re ever feeling thrifty… you might score a pretty sweet deal here at Catholic Charities! ALOHA!!!

How observant are you people!
This store is closed– you know not open for business!!!
There is another store up the street on the corner of eastern and tropicana!
Why DOG a thrift store!
The store on eastern and tropicana is full of great deals. The place is a lot cleaner than their neighbor Burlington Coat Factory.
Prices are very affordable. The inventory varies from time to time. The employees are quite friendly and willing and able to help.
The furniture is the best! If you dig around the clothes racks you’ll find some great deals on very hot name brands.
Aeropostale, Gucci, Hollister, Victoria Secrets, etc. you have to hunt for them but they are there! And remember these people are trying to help the homeless. I have read some of the reviews and feel they are out of line. I shop here regularly and have a very good experience each time I visit.
Remember, it’s not Dillard’s or Neiman Marcus! This is a non profit. They are helping people!

Okay, it’s a thrift store, so it’s not posh, but hey, its clean and I’ve found a number of items here including furniture that were just perfect for our home. The staff are always very, very friendly and they have a very good turnover on their items so one has to check back often to see if there’s something there. As a thrift store (and Vegas has a lot of good ones). I recommend it.

This place lost points with me… I use to be a regular customer here and would buy a lot of stuff from shot glasses for my collection to old VHS movies but one day I found a metal tube/​bar that I needed for my sons play pin so it could hold up straight and it was the exact piece I needed so I wanted to purchase it even though it didn’t have a price I thought maybe they will give me a price at the register but I came to find out they didn’t want to sell it because they said they didn’t know if it belong to something they have in the sales floor and might of gotten misplaced which is understandable so they looked around see if Any thing was missing a metal bar and found nothing so I told them I will give them 1 dollar for it since is nothing special but they said no that they rather throw it out. Now why would you throw it out if you have someone offering you 1 dollar for it? So I ask since they are going to throw it out that if I can I have it? And they told me no. And being that I really needed this piece and I guess they seen that, they told me that the only way they will sell it is if I pay $ 8 dollars for it… it got me mad to the point that I bought and pay the $ 8 for it and told the manager that they lost a loyal customer and vowed to never set foot and donate to them ever again. Correct me if I’m wrong but if your going to represent a religious charity the first thing about charity is to help not steal from the people that make your foundation possible and not take advantage of the people that need help that’s why I take my donations to other places and shop there now…

A little of everything… furniture, clothes for everyone, jewelry, housewares. Pretty well organized. Today I saw some unworn Donald Pliner shoes for 25 bucks. Sales staff was helpful and there was a 50% off sale going on. Fitting rooms. Good digging!

When I first walked into this store it was small but it had some interesting things around here and there, however slightly over priced. I found a craftsman electric blower which was listed for $ 50.00. It seem a bit high considering it was only a 12amp. I looked up the model number but it wasn’t available anymore. I found a more up-​to-​date model online at Sears for $ 47.50 (exact same blower *newer generation). I figured I’d show the manager what it’s listed for brand new and see if it was just missed priced. The store associate returned saying that they just looked it up and saw it was listed for $ 80 plus on the Sears website. I told them how could that be considering I had it on my phone clearly showing it listed for $ 47.50. I was then told they looked up the actual model number and this particular one was much more, but the manager would take off 5 bucks (remember that model number doesn’t exists anymore). I asked if I can speak with the manager and if they could show me what they found it on the Sears website (not sure it’s a he or she because the manager wouldn’t even come out of the back office) and was told that’s all they can do. When I asked for the managers name, I was told be the same associate that she isn’t able to give out that information. Keep in mind that this store is called «Catholic Charities» and this is how they represent? This isn’t a «thrift store». The bottom line is this store is a joke, not for what they have on their shelves, but because they are waaaaay over priced and the customer services is beyond ridiculous.

Big, clean and pretty well organized. Looks like they have a really large selection of truly vintage items as well. Prices are more than fair, and I will be back. I got a pair of overall jean shorts for 2 bucks, sweet!

The sales specials are confusing (buy 5 yellows tags and they are $ 1 each. If you buy four or less, than its price as marked… WTF?) and the prices are random, as some items are dirt cheap and others are almost full retail. Nothing in this place is consistent.
Although the clothing selection is kinda boring, some cool vintage/​designer stuff can be found of you look hard enough. The furniture is the best thing about this place. Old 70s and 80s stuff for reasonable prices. The place is clean and organized, but some stuff is a little thrown around. I found the staff slightly on the unfriendly side.
Worth checking out though. I’ll go back periodically.
***UPDATE***
I did find a pair or Prada dress shoes here. The price was $ 80 but the special on this particular visit was 50% off all shoes! A miracle! $ 40 for a pair of shoes that retails for $ 650 at Neiman Marcus (I did some research)!?! Now that is a deal!

While I was going on a thrift store spree during the last few months of 2012 I decided I’d stop by here. I’ve passed by a few times while adventuring on Eastern and Tropicana, but never checked out the inside. I’m also not a Catholic, so I thought maybe it would be sacrilegious for me to go inside.
I’m very glad I did go in! There was an assortment of boardgames, and I found a vintage 1960s game named Probe that I got for half off (all the toys and games on one table were half off). Although many of the clothing there screamed middle aged teacher/​churchlady, I managed to find a cute White House/​Black Market blazer for six bucks. To round out the deals I got a totally sweet Excalibur stein mug.
All and all it is a clean and mostly organized thrift store. Will definitely be checking it out to see what they have in the future.

Bought a dyson vacuum cleaner for dirt cheap! Great!
