I've been coming to this Roscoe Village location for a while and sometimes I find "decently priced items" but the audacity of this top that still had the $7.50 clearance sticker on it from the original store (looks like Target) and theyre selling it for $12.59... like- if youre going to cheat the customer- at least rip off the clearance sticker on it... It's honestly predatory and completely defeats the purpose of being a second-hand store. Since Village Discount gets their inventory for free via donations, this is plain wrong

Overview…read more Exploring Chicago's Best Thrift Store - Village Discount Outlet ... Village Discount Outlet (VDO) thrift stores, prominent in the Chicago area and Ohio, are for-profit retailers selling second-hand goods, but their specific ownership isn't highlighted as a single person or family; they function like standard retail businesses for pre-loved items, unlike non-profits where proceeds fund charities, so they're owned by individuals or groups focused on retail rather than charity. Really the worsts prices and it's a retail business for profit. So why do people donate their stuff here instead of to the Salvation Army?

This is a huge store. You can get stuff here for great prices when you need something cheap and…read moreeasy. I come here for some home needs and it's a good deal. You can also do arts and crafts with things that you can paint and they also have paint and paint brushes there. If you want a quick snack, there is lots of candy and cookies. There's also a free parking lot that's open and has plenty of space. This is next to so many stores so if you can't find something here, you can find it in other stores nearby.

Do NOT purchase gift cards from Dollar Tree! My son paid…read morecash for an Apple gift card, but when we tried to redeem it, the balance was $0. When I called the store, they said I needed the receipt with a code -- which isn't true. They were rude, unhelpful, and even hung up on me. This is the second bad experience I've had at this location, and the staff and management clearly do not care. Even Apple support advised not to buy their gift cards from Dollar Tree, which says a lot. Please learn from our mistake -- avoid the hassle and only buy Apple gift cards directly from Apple or authorized retailers.

Every time, I come I find close-out on good makeup. On this last occasion I really scored big. Dollar Store still saves you money but I am alittle bit more discerning when buying items now. I run them through the internet to see the reviews before gambling on my 1.50. Yes on average most items purchased were 1.50. This last occasion: dog treats (made in USA), cleaning supplies, foil, makeup, body spray, body wipes, energy drinks and dog toys. Now don't run there and take all of the good stuff.

This is a cute space with LOTS of nostalgic candy. I picked up several items I remember enjoying at my grandmother's house when I was a kid, including gummi rings, violet mints, wafer saucers, and more. The owner is a delight to talk to, and everything is very reasonably priced. Dizzy Cow also has small gifts (mostly for kids.) There are toys, lip balms, little craft kits... lots of things you'd want if you were on your way to a niece or nephew's house or a babysitting gig. I picked out an ice cream-shaped bath loofah for my sister, and the owner went WAY above and beyond, wrapping it with ribbon, a sticker, and a sweet little bubble blower for free. Wow! I heard Dizzy Cow does goodie bags. I will definitely be asking after them the next time I am tasked with hosting a party at my job. When I was done shopping, the owner also recommended a store down the block, which I went to and enjoyed. North Center's small business owners clearly know and love each other. :)
