      As most other reviewers on here have already said, the prices are pretty high for a thrift store. There are some things you can get for a bargain, but you really have to get lucky. Otherwise, you're better off buying new. It's just disappointing to see this store would much rather hold onto things to try and turn over a huge profit then sell it for a reasonable price to keep inventory moving. I've seen furniture sit here for months because they're asking a lot of money.

      I do enjoy coming here for books, picture frames, and kitchenware.

      Cluttered, crowded and overpriced was my experience. Parking can be quite challenging too and if you are a senior citizen it can also be dangerous.

      Their furniture is very over priced. They want $100 for a particleboard and laminate bookcase. Very disappointed

      Worst thrift store experience ever!
      I found a high brand purse with a tag in the inside and when i went to ring out they wouldn't sell the bag without a proper tag. Afterwards a manager came up to do a price tag, after she returned she stated the bag was priced at $640 on poshmark so they would not be able to sell me the bag, but instead would be sold at their boutique.
      incredibly unfair to use online listings to determine the value of items especially when it was out on the floor for anyone to buy! and unfair to take away from someone after rightfully finding an amazing item. 0/10 don't bother looking for anything nice unless you're ready to pay major corporation prices

      I have developed a fondness for thrifting. Like most folks I seek a good deal and I like to think my purchases help a worthy cause. That New Life is associated with a faith organization is something I admire too. Well, problems with fair pricing and disingenuous practices have me discontinuing my future visits. Either the staff or the owner's good character is sorely lacking.

      If you want to donate your items to a thrift store that serves the community, this is NOT the place! The employees take your good quality donations to sell for their own profit at their own independent boutiques!!!!

      This is the first time I've ever written a review on Yelp before because I am just so sad. I found this really amazing jacket without a price tag, so I brought it up to the front register hoping they could price it. They told me to bring it back to the donation space for them to price it, and the people in the donation space told me to bring it to the women in the fitting rooms to price it. I think I talked to every single employee working there that night!

      Once I got to the fitting room, the employee took the jacket behind the partition to talk to another employee. I could hear them talking about prices on eBay and online listings of similar jackets (). Eventually, they came back out and said they couldn't value this jacket "without their boss." They told me to come back the next day and it would be priced. I was bummed, but I live locally and really loved this jacket, so I went back the next day. The same employee I talked to the night before was working the fitting rooms again. I said I was looking for a jacket I asked about yesterday, and she said she remembered me. She said that she was sorry and that "her boss had actually taken the jacket with her to sell at her boutique." I left without the jacket and I won't be coming back.

      Very very sad to think that members of my community are donating their loved items just for them to be taken by employees and sold for their own benefit.

      Their prices have gotten out of control. It's really sad. I used to love it there but not only are prices too high but it's really hard to move around. I understand they have limited supply space so I can deal with hard to move but I thrift bc it's hard to afford full price and they will sell a Walmart or target brand item for a price I could get it on sale new in the real store.

      Good stuff but too expensive. Feels more like a consignment store that's trying too hard.

      I used to love coming here but the prices have gotten reaaaalllly over the top for a thrift store where everything is donated. $400 for a used chair, $1200 for a couch, $20 for a Target dress, $10 for a glass vase, etc. I wanted to support them but that's hard when you can buy new for less.
