On this visit, I scored a copy of The Hobbit for my daughter, and at a price that felt like finding buried treasure. Definitely a win. The store itself is easy to navigate, with plenty of sections to keep the hunt interesting without feeling overwhelming. Prices are fair, and there's enough turnover that each trip has the potential to uncover something new. Like any thrift store, you won't always hit the jackpot, but that's part of the fun. This time, Middle-earth came home with us for just a few bucks. Four stars for variety, good deals, and the thrill of discovery.

I went to Plato's closet today to sell three really nice untouched unworn Lululemon shirts that…read morejust didn't fit me and I got $5.32 for one of my shirts and they gave me two of them back. If you don't know Lululemon they are worth so much more than five dollars and I think it is crazy that they didn't even take two of my shirts and only gave me five bucks for one shirt. I didn't expect much out of this experience but I expected at least $10 at the very, very least. I feel like if you're going to be a selling type of thrift store you should be giving your customers at least half value. Especially if it is in fact more on the expensive side of brands.

And it's a great place to donate to since it helps pets stay in their homes, and during their special events they provide services for pets like chipping and nail trimming, etc. Get on their mailing list so you can keep up with special sales and events when you can get additional value for your money. Sometimes you'll get vouchers for donations of pet food or certain categories like men's jeans, so you'll want to know what you might want to bring when. Recently they had a raffle for a gorgeous quilt that was donated (see pictures), so you'll never know what you're going to find and you wouldn't want to miss a great opportunity!

Things are well organized and easy to look through. The men's clothing selection is quite small so just be prepared.

Hello-- I shop at Goodwill several times a week and visit a…read morevariety of locations. At the Surprise store (14063 W Grand Ave, Surprise, AZ 85374), I regularly notice the same individuals there every day. They seem to know exactly when new carts are brought out and quickly grab specific items, almost as if they already know what's on the carts before looking through them. While it's possible they are simply there often and have good timing, it gives the impression they may have prior knowledge of what's coming to the floor. I wanted to share this observation with you in case it's something you'd want to look into.

This trip paid off with some artwork that was basically screaming, "make me spooky!" Perfect for repurposing into Halloween décor, and honestly that kind of creative find is why I keep coming back. The store itself is organized enough that you can navigate without losing your sense of direction, but still has that "hunt for it" vibe that makes thrifting fun. Prices are usually fair, and every once in a while you stumble across that hidden treasure that makes you feel like you've won the thrift-store lottery. Not every trip is a jackpot, but that's part of the charm. This time the win went to spooky artwork. Four stars because Goodwill is consistently a solid thrifting stop, and the thrill of the hunt never gets old.

While nothing really…read more"spoke" to me this time, I can imagine other people might hear the call, there's definitely variety here. The store is well organized, which I appreciate. They've separated things into clear sections so you're not wandering aimlessly through a sea of knickknacks wondering if that teapot is next to a pair of roller skates. That alone earns points. That said, some of the prices felt a little on the high side for a thrift store. Bargain hunting is half the fun, but when the deals aren't quite deal-ing, it takes a little shine off the experience. Overall, it's a clean and organized spot that could be a goldmine for the right person. Just didn't happen to be my lucky day. Three stars feels fair.
