ridiculous prices

by anybodygotthisone

In the midst of the worst economic downturn most of us can remember, all Puget Sound area Value Villages have raised their prices drastically. Used, soiled t-shirts for $6.99? Used, torn jackets for $34.99?

What are they thinking??? My thrift shopping is now done at other stores. Shame on Value Village.

• Pros: friendly staff
• Cons: prices

Reduced-price prom dresses, vintage pumps and an extensive home appliance section make this discount chain a popular thrift stop.

In Short
Whether you're shopping for a new winter coat, an A-line '60s dress or simply a snazzy pair of heels, you'll have fun looking through this place. Everyone comes here, from bargain-shopping newlyweds to college kids looking for unique finds for school. Look through the home appliance section for marked-down Tupperware and price cuts on antique silverware. When Halloween comes around, browse through their wide selection of masks, costumes and funky accessories.

Why Buy New?

by viagrafallz

I shop here for my 7 year old daughter and she gets more compliments than any other child I know. At each store we can always find cute summer dresses for her and work out shirts for me. I have a hard time paying full price for anything anymore. Thanks Value Village!
