2 /5 ALENA L: Mixed Feelings, Great Atmosphere, But Prices Keep Climbing
I’ve been a loyal shopper here for a while and have always appreciated the warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and the overall quality, especially the café, which is genuinely enjoyable.
However, I’ve noticed a steady increase in pricing that’s made it harder to justify purchases. While I understand the need to turn a profit for a good cause, thrift stores should also remain accessible to the communities they serve.
Lately, I find myself walking out empty handed more often than not. Some items are even marked higher than their original retail price, like dollar store goods priced several dollars more. And while the furniture selection is nice, many pieces are far out of reach for the average budget.
I truly want to support the mission behind the store, but I hope to see pricing that reflects the spirit of thrifting, affordable finds that benefit everyone, not just a few.
