Disorganized, smells, and anti homeless rhetoric on the door. Stay away. Can’t support a business that displays this kind of talk in a town that has such a problem like Salinas. Plus they don’t have much good stuff.

I give it 3 stars for the fact that it is fairly cheap, I’ve found some good items here and paid $ 1 for them. But not everything is cheap, and not everything is even worth any money. It really is a «trash» store more than thrift. I call it the junk store. There is piles and piles of crap accumulating throughout the store, a lot of it is stuff I doubt anyone will ever buy. The staff isn’t good at pricing either. There are items for sale that are WAY overpriced. I walked by a book of pogs recently there, priced at $ 50! Ridiculous. The mom of the mom and son duo who run the store is a little… odd. She seems like a cooky old lady to me, and moody. Oh, and they only take CASH. Except there is no sign that says that anywhere in the store. You’d think one of the 10 signs at the register saying the store«rules» would say no cash, but it doesn’t.

I really enjoy finding great deals and treasures in this shop. Kathy, the store owner is a great business woman and will usually negotiate a fair price with you. lots of vintage items and some antiques plus new items as well. Sometimes you have to sort through a bunch of stuff to find your treasure. she has office items kitchen items furniture dishes a kids corner for while your shopping Kathy usually puts a movie on for the little ones. a shabby chic corner with tea sets and table ware. lacey curtains table cloths etc. New items usually come in everyday so i frequently check in. collectables stationary knitting supplies gift wrap supplies appliances hardware tools tvs DVD’S VHS shoes bedding clothes art frames books plus loads more. i’ve been shopping here for years and enjoy it, so pop in and check it out its worth the trip. Bring cash there isnt a credit option. but next door there is an atm.

There’s a lot of crap that you have to sift through to find the realllly good stuff. Literally, it’s like a garage sale that both imploded and vomited all over itself. It may be a hassle to dig, but when you find something good, you really find gold. The staff seems to be on their on their own agenda, but they’re pretty cool on a good day. Cheap and cheerful.
