This location has been a staple on my rounds for years. It is dirty and you have to dig but I…read morealways found stuff that made it worth it. I do not resell my finds, I use them for my house and my kids. The prices at this location have gone absolutely nuts for the last three times I've been there and I finally am taking it off my rounds. This last time I got three kids hoodies, a kids coat and two T-shirts and paid over $75. On the same trip I found many items I liked but one was a coat that was $50 and one was a pair of shoes for $45 and one was a purse for $35. I've been priced out. An older gentleman approached me at the store to ask if I could read the price on a pair of work shoes because he couldn't believe they were the $35 that was written on them. I am so sad to lose this spot.

They can go ahead and take 'Discount' out of their name. This used to be a fair enough spot to…read morethrift. Dirty, packed, messy, but you could get shirts for under $10. Now everything that is even half way decent is priced absurdly. You can't find a single winter coat under $40. Most consignment shops have better items and lower prices. Even shopping new is comparable to many prices here. You could do better anywhere else. And this isn't even the stuff they have up on the walls or behind the counter

I usually keep all of my receipts but unfortunately in my situation I had lost several of my receipts for several different separate purchases and had no way out of it but to return for store credit. I now found myself in a situation of that nightmare customer that would make the transaction that more complicated for the associate behind the register. JB took care of my returns and he was patient, kind, and professional at all times and he made my returns run smoothly and quickly. I don't ever leave reviews but I felt that I needed to give this young man validation for his amazing costumer service. The store location was on Elston Plaza. Thank you JB for making my shopping experience wonderful.

The cashiers and manager don't allow anyone to return items in new condition with tags but without…read morea receipt. Even though the Corporate policy is "Non-receipted returns, accompanied by a photo ID (driver's license, state issued non-driver ID, passport, or military ID) and returns after 60 days will receive a merchandise credit for the lowest selling price." Apparently this store doesn't believe in following company policy and make their own rules. They insist that a receipt or loyalty number to look up the receipt is required. They will not return without a receipt and issue store merchandise. This is the only store that I had the issue with on 3 different occasions. Cashiers always have horrible attitude as if you are bothering them.

I didn't bother trying anything on so I can't attest for if there are fitting rooms or not. I only spent time in maybe 3 aisles & I ended up purchasing ~15 high quality items! Imagine if I checked every aisle - I'd have to build a new closet! Short line, almost negligible in how quickly it took me to see the cashier. One item didn't have a tag on it & he said I can return the next day once the price is configured, but I'm not staying in the area so I decided to let another lucky thrifter find that joy of an incredibly soft, lilac crewneck sweater. Thanks Village Discount Outlet!

The Math Isn't Mathing…read more. 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

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.

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.

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. :)
