The 19th ave and Greenway location is my favorite. Prices are fair but starting to get higher. Please don’t become like goodwill, they are insane. Leo has the Best Customer Service I’ve ever experienced! He went above and beyond to help us with our purchase.

So. This place is BOTH the Salvation Army Thrift Outlet AND a regular Salvation Army Family Store. If you go immediately to your right after you walk in, you will see the Thrift Outlet area. It's fenced off from the rest of the store. There are several (maybe 6, maybe 8) of those big table/bins on wheels. One held glass and housewares type item. One held shoes. The rest held clothing. Unlike at the Goodwill bins store, there were only a few other shoppers in the area. There was not a bunch of loud noise to experience. There was no rush to dig through the bins. It didn't look like any workers were coming along to take them away any time soon. My friend and I poked through the clothing. There was good stuff in there, but my friend didn't find anything she wanted/needed/that fit her. I found a pair of Bobby Brooks pants in my size and a style I like. Score! (The original Salvation Army store tag on the pants was marked $8.99.) Clothes in the Thrift Outlet area sell for $1.89 a pound. There are signs saying there is a minimum purchase of one pound/$1.89 required. No problem. I thought $1.89 was a good price for the pants when I didn't find anything else I wanted. You have to pay for Thrift Outlet area items before you leave the Thrift Outlet area. It took several minutes for a worker to come to the register to take payment. When she arrived, she seemed surprised that I only wanted the one pair of pants. She told me there was a minimum purchase required. I told her I had read the signs, and I understood the policy. She said, "So you don't mind if I charge you $1.89 for just this?" while gesturing to the pants I had chosen. I assured her I did not mind. After buying my pants, my friend and I went into the Family Store part of the building. Well. While the store was neat, clean, and organized, the pricing was outrageous! We didn't spend long looking at clothes, but a couple of items I stopped to look at as I passed by were on par with Goodwill prices. A purse I liked was priced $5.99, which seemed a little much for what it was. But when we got to housewares...that's when the sticker shock really set in. Single items were mostly $3.99. There was a sign that said customers could get a free lid with the purchase of a pot. Then I picked up a large (but not giant) wide mouth canning jar with a lid. At Goodwill, such an item would usually be priced $2.49 or $3.49. Not here. Nope. Not at this Salvation Army Family Store. I gasped when I saw the price. The canning jar was priced at $5.99!!! You can buy a pack of 12 jars like that in Phoenix for under $20!!! We looked around a little more, but neither of us purchased any of the regular priced items. We left pretty quickly. If I were in the neighborhood, I might stop in again to check out the Thrift Outlet, but I'm not interested in overpaying at the Family Store.

Kinda out of the way. I drive past it, turned around. Inside it's a little bit run down and feels like a thrift store. It's a large store. And they have a lot of items to offer. I bought several things. I love thrift shopping 👍

Ehh.. I thought this place is supposed to be cheaper than Goodwill prices. It's definitely not. YIKES! ..This stuff was given to you guys for free. Your company is a joke. You should be charging garage sale prices. Come on now..

Well it smelled better this trip and had more household items HOWEVER pricing has become like Goodwill ...RIDICULOUS. Here's 1 example of what I found. Seriously?! Bathrooms out of order but a customer still went thru barricades to go in. Not sure the 1 employee even acknowledged us. Store was pretty much void of customers. Not sure how they stay in business.
