Best Thrift Stores Near Carmel Valley, CA

The store always has lots of new things they keep bringing out. Most of their clothing that is similar is marked all the same price. I guess this is so people won't rip the tags off or change the prices on items. They always have good prices on furniture and items in the housewares section. The workers are always pleasant and helpful. (Read More)

This place is fabulous if you're looking for fabric, bedding or clothes and you're not afraid to dig. It is not supposed to look like a store, this is where Goodwill sends its unsold stuff to die. (And it's sometimes unbelievable what you can find that people have passed by.) It is a dirty warehouse with barn doors, and rows of giant (approx. 3'x5'x5') bins stuffed with anything made of fabric or shoes and purses. They go through the bins nightly. There is no organization except that the fabric rows are on one side of the building and the small appliances/dishes/books/notebooks/whatever else you can find is on the other. All big furniture stuff is left outside, even when it's raining. And the floor IS filthy. But you pay $5 for anything you can stuff into a paper grocery bag or $1/pound for fabric stuff. I have found matching designer bedding, a vintage chenille bedspread and clothes, excellent baby clothes and bedding, an antique book and lots of nice fabric here. Expect to find people methodically going through the bins.(And they are territorial about their piles.) There is a group of Hispanic people, I believe from a church organization, who come regularly and buy in bulk. Stuff that doesn't sell goes to a recycle center. I believe every couple of days but I'm not sure about that. It is serve yourself and the customer service is minimal, but they will give you large plastic trash bags, answer questions and help you find an outlet to check the functionality of electrical stuff.

big store, a little pricey (Read More)

This is a small shop but ample parking, easy to find, and orderly. But because its a small shop there is not a good selection of furniture especially sofas and chairs. Occasionally I find kitchen tables and chairs. However, I always find something to buy. (Read More)
