On a whim, my girlfriend and I were exploring Palmer. It has such a coastal town feel, and we…read morecouldn't resist ourselves! We parked and so happened to have parked right in front of this adorable consignment store. We walked in and were greeted by a friendly storekeeper. :) She was the owners adult daughter and an artist vendor there. She was so sweet and friendly and helpful. They have Plus Size Women's Clothes, which is always a joy for me! :) I ended up buying a pair of LIKE NEW pants and an adorable shirt....for $12...one of my items was 75% off. I feel like it was destiny. Then we just looked at all the tid-bits of goodness, all around. Car fresheners, hand-embroidered items, unique knitted earrings and so much more! It was a great adventure. We're so glad we found this place. :) We will be back!

This is a great little store in the heart of Palmer. Very good selection and clothes were clean and…read morethe store was neat. Good prices. Music created the best atmosphere. Of course, you never know what a store like this will end up with since it's a consignment, but that's the beauty, you find treasures. I bought a blouse for $7 and wore it out of the store. Check this place out. It's wonderful.

I guess you could call this place a gift shoppe. (That's how it is advertised)…read more But it feels more like a mini department store (minus appliances and that kind of stuff). There is everything from lotions, to Alaska clothing, to puzzles and toys. There are fuzzy and comfy looking socks. They have lip balm and magnets, soaps and all sorts of coffee cups. There are cute signs, snarky signs, and everything in between. I even saw a mini zen garden. (I may go back for that soon, so I'm not telling you it's cozy location). It dawned upon me today that this is where I need to go when I need a gift, but I'm not sure what to get. It doesn't seem to matter the age of the person. There is something for everyone. The space is bigger than the humble entrance leads you to believe. It is clean, organized and well put together. There aren't multiple sellers curating the collection, which means someone has excellent taste. Plan at least 15-20 minutes to give it a thorough walk around!

We have been loyal customers of the Deuce ever since we moved here two years ago…read more It is one of the better second hand stores. There's not much to it. Folks donate junk they don't want, we show up and buy it. Charities benefit. If they've over priced, we decide how badly we want it and factor in that all proceeds benefit a cause. This store is really well organized with a huge variety of junk. Prices are great, especially for clothes. They have a massive dvd and book collection. Even a nice selection of Alaska based writings. Take care, remember it's donated stuff other people didn't want. Sometimes that means damaged or in need of repair. Buy accordingly. I know it's for a cause, but there are times when it's fun to dicker, especially when something's broke and so are we! I've bought cool shot glasses, growlers, tools and OSU Buckeye dolls. I've even found my favorite candy bars at a nice price. Even at their peak the line moves quickly so it's a very efficient process. The folks are fun to deal with, super friendly! 08/23

As far as second hand stores in Alaska go- you're not going to find a better one. This store is…read morehuge, incredibly and thoughtfully organized, and has an extensive selection. The only negative part about the store is it is for profit and does not benefit the needy. But in a sense it does because clothing is SO Expensive in Alaska, it really is a blessing to find a place like this. Not only do they have clothing, but they have baby stuff, scrubs, bridal gowns, suits, Halloween costumes, rainwear, tons of sporting gear, kitchen and house stuff, books, dads, cds and albums, bikes and strollers.

The ladies really go out of their way to help you if you need it, or they will simply offer their assistance if you prefer to browse the racks. I love the jeans they carry. The always seem to have a good selection of mens, women's, and girls jeans. They carry rock revival, miss me , and it jeans. (that I buy, anyway) They also started to carry TOM's shoes recently. They have great special events dresses, or simpler items such as shoes, jewelry, handbags, leggings, cami's, belts, scarves.... the list goes on and on.... Stop by and see Ruth or Esther, they are both lovely women :D

This shop is kind of a hole in the wall shop that I accidentally found while looking for the Valley…read moreMedical supply for scrubs. It's located in a building that hosts a community of shops including, a florist, a game type area, and a couple other stores that I failed to recall after I left the last couple times. When you first walk in, you kind of get an overwhelming sense of a thrifty, inexpensive, almost seedy feeling of a shop. The shop owner does have some beautiful finds that she showcases for customers to see, but they seem a little pricey for being a used/consignment shop. There's also a couple pieces of furniture for sale as well, but definitely in an as-is condition. When the owner isn't there, the staff seems pretty hesitant on making even little haggling decisions on items. They have all sizes, all styles, along with all weather and all occasion clothing. (Great place to find a formal!) My last visit found me leaving with a business casual dress ($4), three sleeveless tops ($6), and a pair of shorts ($2.75). It takes time to peruse... but if you're diligent, you'll get a great deal! Tip: don't shop in the middle of summer... You'll overheat once you've been wandering the store for a while and it'll be miserable trying clothes on that already smell questionable in the warmth despite plans to take them home to wash and it will probably deter you from spending money... Remember, you're going to be able to wash your purchased clothing, so don't mind the smell. Happy thrifty hunting!

I visited this store the other day with a friend to shop for a gift. We had been browsing for about…read more30 minutes, and my friend had even used the fitting room, when an employee approached us and informed us that the store has a "no bag policy." This was never mentioned when we entered, and I have honestly never encountered a policy like that before. We were asked to hand over our purses, which were then taken to the front of the store while we continued shopping. When it came time to check out, the cashier asked whether I was paying with credit or debit. After I said credit, I was told I had to show my ID in order to use my credit card. Between having my purse taken and then being asked for identification just to complete my purchase, I felt like I was being treated with suspicion the entire time. It was an incredibly uncomfortable shopping experience. Afterward, I spoke with several people who have shopped at this store multiple times, and they told me they have never been told about or experienced a "no bag policy." If this policy does exist, it should be clearly communicated to every customer upon entering, not enforced after they've already been shopping for half an hour. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and I don't plan on returning.
