    10/14/2011 2 Check-ins Here

    They had a special when we were there, 20% off 2 items, 30% off 3, all the way to 50% off for 5 things. My BF and I spent a good hour in here and found so much!

    My favorite finds included:
    -Floor length Zara gown for $15
    -Givenchy pencil skirt for $20
    -Brand new Rainbows for $6
    -A couple of dress shirts for $3

    And the best part is that all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society, my favorite charity ever!

    Wow, I've always known that Discovery Shops have great deals, and awesome clothes, but this one seriously takes the cake.

    Designer goods, really great shoes, suits, sweaters, and other nice pieces for really cheap.

    My boss picked up a nice pants suit for $5 by I.N.C., I got a diesel sweater (wool) and some nice Born sandals for less than $20 total.  They had some great jewelry deals.  They have a card you can buy for $25 that gives you a huge discount on future purchase (and of course, your purchases all benefit the ACS.)  

    Seriously the best thrift store for people who hate thrift stores (because the stuff in here is so high quality and in such nice condition, you won't feel like you're pawing over the pawed over.)  Things found in great shape and good sizes: Chicco's, Talbots, Gap, INC,  and even designers like Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Chanel etc.

    The hours are TERRIBLE, but it's worth it to skip out of work an hour early to hit this store.

    I drove all the way from (extreme) Northern California for this??? Are you kidding me??? You would think a thrift shop with a 9-0-2-1-0 zip code would have better goods then this? Most of the stuff I looked out was either crappy old stuff or overly priced.
    There was no children's section to speak of (very limited and worn-out). Most of the ladies clothing was trashed, outdated or high priced. The men's section about the same as women's dept. Very disappointed!!!
    I was also insulted by one of the employees. I have a short, spiky 'do and one of the ladies stated she liked my hair, the other (RUDE) lady told me it was "unbecoming"...Who says that...REALLY?!?!? So I definitely was not leaving any $$$ in this store after "Miss Manners" insulted me. I would NOT recommend this shop if you're looking for clothing. Perhaps it's a "hit -N- miss" kinda shop...obviously, I was in on a "MISS" day.

    Better than your average thrift , this donations only resale store has good  savings on women's , mens clothing and furniture/ home decor. Armani, Chanel, and more have been snatched off the racks here.
    Need a sharp eye... some stuff very dated.
