Leftovers Thrift Shop

After my first trip here I am impressed. The prices here are phenomenal! T– shirts are $ 1 each. Purses ranged $ 3-​$ 7 (at other thrift stores same type are closer to $ 15) I got «like new» boots for $ 4.

Great little place with plenty of parking! Nice ladies at the front counter. I found some great items (true treasures!) for inexpensive (in comparison to antique or collectible stores) prices. It’s worth a visit for pickers!

My wife and I read the prior reviews and we do not understand how the prior reviewers can describe a thrift store as «hit or miss» All thrift stores are hit or miss! The store and staff have no control over what is donated. The poor reviews show how shallow some people are. My wife will only buy designer labels and is always able to find a new to slightly used items to purchase. It is too bad that donations aren’t made in every conceivable size to please everybody, but this is a thrift store, if you want perfection go to Nordstrom’s. We have always found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful, not and easy task when dealing with the public all day long! This place is run on donations by an all volunteer staff that supports the Contra Costa Crisis Center! What is there to complain about?

Leftovers — aptly named.
I read all of the reviews prior to coming here ( Unilocal is how I found out the store existed), and I chuckled after reading one from a reviewer (now located in the «hidden» reviews) who said she witnessed a volunteer taking nice items out to her car. The reviewer added that another volunteer mentioned to her that the volunteers get the good stuff. Anyway, I mention this because when I went to Leftovers today for the first time, I witnessed a similar situation. There is a room near the clothing section where the donations are processed. The ladies were giddy over some of the things that had come in and were pulling things off to the side. One of the volunteers grabbed another one who had walked in and showed her a beautiful designer dress and mentioned how nice it will be to wear it. Do they realize how tacky this appears to the customers? Perhaps it is standard operating procedures to let volunteers have their pick of things that come in, but do they have to flaunt it? Do they pay for these items? How do they price an item they are planning on buying?
Now, about the actual store: While many of the clothing pieces were dated, I did come across items from Banana Republic and Ann Taylor. There was a pretty good selection of shoes in several parts of the store. It is hit or miss. You’ll just have to go through the items and hope you wear a different size than the volunteers. Many of the items, particularly the pants, were located in the wrong size sections. The prices are fair. The store is well organized and they have two fitting rooms. When I went, shoes were 50% off. No awful thrift store smell. They do not take checks, and if you plan on using a debit/​credit card, your purchase must total at least $ 10. There is a private lot to park in behind the store.
I didn’t see anything that was spectacular and you probably shouldn’t expect to either as the items apparently are not only the donators’ leftovers, but the volunteers’ leftovers as well.

This great thrift store moved to Olympic Blvd about two years ago. I think the caliber of the donations has improved greatly since then. My friends and I have found lots of designer clothes, vintage and late model kitchenware, art and knick knacks galore. The volunteers are friendly and very helpful. As with all thrift stores, one doesn’t always find the desired object on the first visit. Perseverance is the key to successful thrifting. This place bears watching.

As I arrived a well-​dressed worker was loading some especially nice items into her fancy car. Another worker greeted me by bragging that the staff always buys the best things as soon as they arrive! There’s no way I would purchase anything from an establishment that claims to be a charity whose management has that kind of ethics.

The little ladies that run this place are the cutest. But this place is definitely hit or miss. Basically a little upscale from Goodwill… But it does have a lot of old school charm. Prices are fair, merchandise mostly outdated, nick-​nacks are a mix of old and eccentric.

It is worth a visit when my friend and I are thrift-​store diving, but I have only bought books and seashells here. I am not a buyer of old clothing, which is mostly what they have, hence the lone star. Oh, I did get a vintage teacup and saucer in a hard-​to-​find pattern, but it is chipped.

terrible! nothing but a bunch of smelly old lady clothes, so outdated!

Its goodies galore at this sweet little thrift hidden under a freeway overpass off the Mt. Diablo exit in Walnut Creek. Great women’s designer wear, including an entire rack of fancy cruise and party wear, as well as great house wares and vintage finds. Smaller furniture pieces only, since there’s not a lot of square footage here, but you can usually find interesting knick-​knacks. Look for the half-​price color tags when items have hung around longer than 3 months. And, don’t miss their quarterly sale when the entire store is half off (call for details).
Hours: Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Proceeds go to the Contra Costa Crisis and Suicide Center providing emergency service to families and children and funding programs for teenage suicide,

i like coming here because the quality is pretty good and their prices are even better. I have bought tons of stuff here… not just clothes, but tablecloths, decorative stuff etc. I shop lots of consignment and thrift places and thank goodness WC has so many! Again, people (mostly ladies) strike up converstations with one another so it can be pretty interesting to eavesdrop or join in! Warm, friendly atmosphere.

A cute little shop which has fabulous sales. They have a bag sale every once and while. Everything you can fit in the bag is ten dollars.
There have huge amounts of shoes which line the outside walls and at least one item of every age group style. The dressing rooms are a bit weird, one is adjoining to a bathroom so if there’s someone in there and you go to change… oops.
They also have some interesting jewlery, not ever in style but interesting nonetheless.
Leftovers doesn’t take credit cards, only cash or check so keep this in mind before shopping there.
