    Fall serving dishes
    Abby H.

    Prices are high as usual but I went looking for specific clearance and 50/75% off tags. There was a good number of cute items left on the racks.

    Cool new addition to Anchorage thrift shop scene. In particular I really dig their DVDs, albums and books. Of course they have a massive selection of clothing. I was pleased to find a pair of brand new "salvage" gloves that would have cost 5 times as much elsewhere. There seemed to be quite a few items labled "salvaged" that were new that were insanely cheap. My partner found an brand new ergonomic snow shovel, same deal, crazy cheap brand new. I hope this location can maintain this level of excellence.

    All vinyl records 99 cents! 45RPMs 10 for $3.99!
    Vic E.

    I came down here after work yesterday to check out if there were new arrivals in their vinyl section. Goodwill is located next to New Sagaya on Old Seward Highway across from the University Center Mall in the old Mountain View Sports building (or the old KHAR radio station if anyone remembers). The employees here are helpful if a little distracted with their duties when customers are waiting at the registers. Cleanliness can be a hit or miss but most of this can be attributed to customers not putting things back where they belong. The shelves housing the vinyl was filled with new arrivals along with several boxes of 45 RPMs lining the bottom shelf. All vinyl are priced at 99 cents, the cheapest deal you can get at second-hand thrift shops compared to the book stores and antique shops around town. The 45 RPMs were on sale for a great deal at 10 for $3.99. The only downside is that some of the vinyl I wanted to purchase can be dirty or in poor condition along with some album covers that have sustained water damage from being stored in a moist, humid environment for many years. New arrivals can be few and far between compared to other thrift stores who constantly replenish theirs as often as once a week. Also, depending on what time of day it is, the wait can be unnecessarily long while waiting for someone to ring you up at the unattended registers. However, there are plenty of items throughout the store in exceptional condition for the price if you look hard enough. People making donations will also get a discount coupon for 15 or 20% off when shopping at the store.

    The rude worker is the one on the right!

    The customer service was horrible. The gal at the CASH ONLY counter stood visiting people while the rest of the staff helped customers. She was rude, unprofessional and should NOT be working there. When asked who to file a complaint with...the only person working the register points to her.

    Plenty of good options. Some questionable prices but overall a decent price with the everyday discounts.

    Do they have computer monitors?

    No. They stopped taking electronics in due to their size and a lot of them not functioning properly for customers who purchased them.

    Dropping off items to this store is also much faster & easier than donating to value village or Salvation Army.

    I am in Alaska for vacation and since most of my vacations incorporate some thrifting/antiquing…read moreshopping I decided to Yelp some nearby locations. This store popped up and we decided to stop by. FYI there is a coffee/soda shop next door (another review for that place also done). This store was in a plaza, plenty of parking spots. At first entrance once inside, it looks tiny and the way things are set up, I was thinking that prices were going to be expensive. Don't be fooled, it may look small but there are a lot of great finds. This particular store is focused on women clothing, accessories and some home knick knacks. There is also another FashionPact that is HUGE and has kids and mens clothing, books, home goods, etc... But back to this location...everything is organized by sizes, they are inclusive and also have a plus section. FashionPact has a section by the front door that features items that they have posted on their social media accounts. If you fell in love with the item, you can come into the store and purchase or also they can ship the item to you. Check out their accounts to get details. At first, you think this is like all other thrift stores but two cool things that make their store stand out. They have dynamic pricing. You see the price of the item listed at the top of the tag, then if the item is not sold by the date listed, the price is reduced. If the item is still not sold, then the third price listed is the final purchase price. Such a simple concept, but it made me realize that their purpose is to sell merchandise and leave space available for new donations. Plus, in selling then money could be donated which brings me to the second cool thing about this store. As a buyer, you can pick which local organization gets a percentage of your total purchase. If you donate clothes, you also get to choose. Shopping and choosing where to donate makes you feel good. They have a screen at the top of the register that shows the local organizations, but if you want to know more about the groups, they have an iPad next to the register so you can read more about the groups. They have the organizations divided by categories such as, animals, arts, education, etc. There are so many choices and all groups are local! How awesome is this! If you are not too busy shopping, all throughout the store, you can spot the thank you cards/letters/drawings from these organizations for the donations. I went twice, back to back to this location and got so many good deals. Scratch that, steals. Good clothing and accessories for under $10, but most were under $5. My brag from this store was a Columbia pink fleece zip up jacket with tags for $5, wow!!!!!! The other items that I also purchased were used but in excellent condition or with tags. The sales associate was sorting through donations and when I came back the next day, there was a lot of new items in my size section. SOOOOOOO sad that there is not a store like this in the Bay Area. I did tell them they should open one up and they said that they have friends in SF that have told them the same thing. Sadly, rent would be a killer around here. Staff was so nice. I know this place is not touristy but for sure this is a dream store for any thrift store lover. I joked that I could come to Anchorage with an empty luggage and challenge my self to only use clothes bought from any of the FashionPact locations. If you live in the area, lucky you. Stop and donate or shop, you will be helping the local community.

    **July 2024: Saturday Afternoon Visit**…read more I almost don't want to review so that I can keep this gem all to myself; however the mission of this thrift shop is so heart warming that it would be a crime not to share. It's a nice boutique and everything is sorted by garment type and size. There is a fitting room for patrons to try on outfits and good music to keep you in a good mood. Pricing is very fair and there's two prices listed on each tag. After a certain date the price cuts to half. On my visit my mom and I were able to snag a couple of half priced items and two full priced ones, which was still a steal. My coat was $10, blouse $5, and I think my mom got two wrap dresses, and a blazer with everything being under $50. Now if that doesn't make you feel great the proceeds go towards a charity in Alaska and you can pick which one your purchases goes towards. We chose the zoo and hope everyone will go support this little shop when visiting Anchorage.

There are a ton of stuff in here you might need 30+ minutes if you're really looking. They have an array of items you can by. Mostly furniture, DIY materials and stuff people hand make, crafts, clothes, dishes, Alaska stuff, jewelry. Etc. random stuff. Things I have bought: a car trash bag, dryer balls, laundry detergent strips, sticker, I forget what else really. They have a small kids area with toys and clothes, women's clothes upstairs, a few rooms with dishes, an Alaskan section, a reusable item section, a craft room, and space for volunteers to repurpose stuff before they sell it. They also do craft classes here but I'd check the website for up to date info. They also have a cafe now that rotates who is cooking. I have never seen the coffee bar operational they have nobody that runs it. I dont know if the lady working in Remade would make you a coffee or not if you asked. They are located between Huffman and de Armond road on old Seward. Usually open 11-5 and closed sundays.
