This is a cute little thrift shop. All CDs only cost $ 1 which is, in my opinion, the best deal at this thrift store. Hats cost about $ 3 which is a pretty much good deal as well. But the clothes, mostly of retro (late 70s — early 90s) styles are over priced in my opinion.
But the worse prices are on the jewelry. Costume jewelry costs about $ 10, which is similar to the kind I can find new for the same price or less. The sterling silver ranges from $ 15 and up. I can find the same sterling silver on clearance or at discount stores such as Ross, TJ Maxx or Big Lots for the same price new or even for less! I also saw a duffle bag for $ 20 here. Although, I could see it was a name brand, it was still quite a lot for a used bag. Even at outlet stores or discount stores, I can easily find such bags on clearance brand new for the same price. Seriously, whomever prices the items here should take such things into consideration when it comes to pricing.
Still the clerks here are very nice and it appears that most of the people who shop here seem to accept the prices. It seems to me that this is a thrift shop that is trying to keep an upscale image. Mostly, the prices are more then I would normally pay for used merchandise but there are genuine bargains to be found.
Pros:
–great prices on CDs and hats
–nice staff
Cons:
–clothing mostly of retro styles and pricey
–jewelry somewhat overpriced for being used
–merchandise in brand new condition can cost more then buying the item at a discount or outlet store
–can be a challenge to find a real bargain but they do exist

Love this cozy little place. Always such cute window displays and a friendly staff! Items can be a bit pricey, though. Located between Starbucks and Safeway, so the parking lot is vast. Good luck hunting!
