DESCRIPTION
This Salvation Army donation center and thrift store isn't markedly different from similar stores across the United States — the sales floor is tidy and largely free of junk, thanks to the Army's sharp-eyed staff. The "Sally's Attic" and "Sally's Closet" sections — separated from the rest of the store by a dividing wall — is where you'll find the vintage items displayed (and marked up according to their perceived value). A recent visit turned up everything from a Pucci party dress to a slightly weathered trombone, and new items are put on the floor every day.

OMG SA WTF?
Posted on 10/30/2009
Most of us have a sense of what overpriced is, but sadly, whoever prices things at this Salvation Army doesn't. I've walked into Salvation Army with almost $20 store credit, ready to buy anything of mild interest that wasn't overpriced. After an hour of searching, I left with a tiny ceramic creamer, and $17 credit, astounded and a bit angry. The point of going to a dingy thrift store with piles of junk is to find a small treasure for a good price, not to buy damaged mediocre stuff for retail (or higher) prices! Every time I come here ( I live about 5 blocks away), I am sorely disappointed and swear I'll never come back. However, a friend just gave me THEIR store credit voucher for 49 dollars - because they hate it too. So here I go again... ready to find a bargain, and fairly certain I won't.
