The Salvation Army Family Store

I have always had luck when looking for that special piece to finish a decorating project. Plus it's a great to support since more money goes to the cause.

As Sally's go this one is just alright. I buy some clothing here but nothing else is that great. The staff are annoying...yelling at each other from front to back of the store, haggling over who's going on their smoke break first and why so-and-so should be on register next because so-and-so has been already...all in plain view and hearing of shoppers. No restroom for shoppers is also a big turn off as is the fact that they suggest you go next door and use the locked restroom at the fabric store. Tacky.

Unfortunately, prices have gone up in this store. A cute vintage dress can be $9.00 - however, shoes & bags are just $2.50. Good news, they are creating discount .49 cent racks, and any clothing that's been on the rack for over 7 days is 50% off. More bad news - S.A. is creating a `boutique' store in Beaverton, so this Milwaukie store will no longer be carrying collectibles or `red tag' items like leather coats & higher priced goods. UGH. Staff can be friendly, will give regular shoppers small discounts on top of discounted merchandise. Cute vintage dresses seem to be a rarity however.
