And it was already marked 50% off. The store was well organized and bright, making it easy to navigate. They had more than one cashier for checkout on this particular Saturday so the line moved quickly.

Have shopped and sold here a handful of times now. Overall I recommend it if you don't have crazy…read moreexpectations. As far as shopping there, they never seem to have much selection in the size/s I'm shopping for, so I dont buy a lot at once, but I typically pick up a few things each trip. I find the selling side to be kind of hit and miss. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised with the payout, other times (more recently) kind of underwhelmed. Also I really wish their turn around time was a little quicker, it typically seems to take around 6 hours +\- for them to get thru your stuff; so I always have to return the next day, which isn't the most convenient.

Local nonprofit charity shop, the only one in Altoona Iowa. The purpose is to fund the food bank in…read morethe same building, not to give buyers a special bargain. Some people think it is overpriced, some do not. You can still receive comparative bargains for new items. Today it was two weighted blankets for $20, at least 50% lower than new at Walmart, not sure if that is their norm. I did not buy today. I have not been interested in buying anything there in a while, but I am also finally downsizing and more likely to take items in. Often see used, but retail bedding. I think it is a good place to find items you need for setting up a household. Regardless, twice monthly 50% off days are bargains and the parking lot will be full. Compare to some thrift stores they are higher priced, others lower priced. I believe they have a clothing credit for people in need. It appears there has recently been a turnover in staff and volunteers, and I am not sure what that is about. TBH, there have been many changes with Caring Hands in the last five years. TBH, a lot of the local donors don't have much to give and will donate crappy pieces. Caring Hands has to sort through that. Last I heard they donate the worst to DAV. Facebook Marketplace killed the "lucky find" thrift model for a lot of small towns combined with the current economy. For those struggling to make ends meet, there is often some free bread in the thrift area, and in the summer free produce as well... to supplement anyone. I believe books are still free there, but call ahead if that interests you... you will be lucky if they answer. Things I would love to see more of: gardening supplies Arts and craft supplies Jewelry donations older glass fine art
