Lots of good stuff. The only complaint I have is that the staff seems to assume everyone is a thief. I came in with my 1 year old today, holding my diaper bag and within 5 minutes someone told me that I would have to have it searched on my way out. I continued to shop- signs all over exclaiming that you are being video surveilled. People followed me all around the store. I found a ton of really nice stuff: baby clothes and books and some nice baskets from the basement level but I felt uncomfortable shopping there.
Its a wonderful store, I went in yesterday for some clothes shopping and came out with a pair of shoes, 2 stuffed animal toys for my sisters, 2 pairs of professional pants, 3 nightgowns, 2 CDs, and 4 professional button up shirts for 39 dollars, it filled up 2 bags. The staff was friendly, the store was clean(although yes, it does have that thrift shop smell, like how used book shops have that old book smell.)Policy says there are NO returns, so there are dressing rooms to try everything on, and there are even shopping carts! Plus a basement area filled with things like exercise equipmemt, bikes, and sporting goods. There is also some furniture upstairs, and unlike goodwill, I really feel like the prices are mostly fair. Its 3$ for a pair of nice shoes, thats awesome.
I live a block away so its convenient but it is my favorite thrift shop in town regardless because of hands down it has everything in it... And I know that its for a good cause and theyre always really friendly.
Today was the first time visiting this thrift store. It was clean, very well organized, and the staff were extremely friendly. Will definitely come again.
Huge store. You can find some really great deals and unique items. Watch there for there sales. Great place to treasure hunt. Very friendly staff and a great cause.
Lots of good furniture options, clothing, and books. They also had some silverware, yarn, and other miscellaneous items in good condition. The workers were nice and the prices were low. There is also a bathroom if you ask.
Prices are higher than some Thrift but still lower than Goodwill or Salvation Army. Good selection. Staff is friendly.
Clean and organized. Prices, for the most part, are very reasonable, but some random items seem inflated. There are frequent sales happening, too!
Good variety of clothing and items. Well organized. Friendly staff. Only complaint is the boutique prices are a little high to me but every secondhand store has that.
Organized. Staff not helpful and overpriced.
Excellent thrift shop. The store is well maintained, customer service is excellent. Always something interesting when I visit.
Clean, not alot of stock.
I got rid of a ton of old Xmas decorations and found beautiful new ornaments. Mom and I had fun and could stay there for hours! Wow NICE selection of Xmas Everything!
Some prices can be high since things are blanket pricing rather than individualized pricing but still worth stopping in often and I often find great things here.
Love New Life!! Always Clean, prices can sometimes be a bit too high but for the most part reasonable.
I thought the prices were to high. The people that worked there didnt speak. Very clean and well organized.
Not too bad selection and prices on small stuff. staff was nice. Furniture was really expensive for what it was.
Decent selection. Some nicer brands and a lot of dated clothes. Clean and organized. Good deals.
Awesome place..Great place to get work clothes.
I found this thrift store to have pretty good selection. It is especially great if youre looking for vintage sewing and embriodery patterns

2022-07-08Great place! Wonderful variety, clean, excellent prices. Everything is well laid out and very easy To see. You do not have to dig your try and stretch to get something or see. The Sad thing is is they had to shut the bathroom down, due to peoples lack of respect. Regardless of that it is still a wonderful place to go. It is has two floors. You’ll need a little bit of time as it’s not just a small shop.I posted a small shelf of games and there’s also a wall of games. I just added a few pictures of a couple of things that was there.

2022-02-05Visited this thrift store after my oil change today,I must say some prices were pretty decent and some were not. Although if you find a orange sticker you get half off that item.

2022-02-16Expensive for a thrift store. Some items I saw were priced above retail value. There were a few small treasures but I dont think I would ever come here again . Spent 25 dollars on three items no bargains in sight here 70 dollar high chairs 60 dollar busted up strollers ripped shoes for 12 dollars stained shirts for 5 apiece like super super scammy even goodwill whitch I hate is a better deal. Dont come here unless you have MONEYYYYY to spend it should be called a resale shop not thrifty at all.

2021-12-24People here are extremely nice and understanding. Store is clean and organized. Decent selection of what youd expect from a goodwill like store. Would have been a 5 star rating if prices were better suited for the merchandise being resold. Better knowledge of value would be nice. Example a used small pet carrier should be about $5 especially when Walmart sells the same pet carrier brand new for only $14.97 and theyre asking $20 for it. Many, many, many items are overpriced this way. Fish bowls brand new are $8 or less on average brand new and they want $8 used and chipped. Clearance prices are still on products for less money then there stickers placed over them. Sorry but people shop these stores because they cant afford retail stores. Please lower your prices, at least do better research on what its worth, especially if its broken, missing parts or just doesnt work. Thank you. God bless.

2019-10-02I love this place, they even have a boutique with nice brand clothes 😉 shoes, too, and lots of jewelry.
Review №9
2020-09-10Gently used clothing at fair prices and they frequently have sales unlike Goodwill. Most of the clothing is in better shape than Goodwill or salvation army. They also sell nice furniture and fine china as well as antiques at fair prices. Toys are also decently priced too. Im giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because they sell incomplete boardgames making then unplayable and puzzles missing puzzle pieces and they refuse to make an exception with their return policy which seems dishonest and immoral. I dont expect them to count 500 piece puzzle before putting it on a shelf but if the puzzle is incomplete it would be honorable if they accepted the return or at least allowed for an exchange.

2019-02-26Great variety of items and prices are better than other thrift stores. I find the best stuff here, but it may be different for you. Kids clothing are less expensive than other thrift stores. A slight odor may bother some people. Staff is great (friendly) at times to okay (neither friendly or rude).
