I used to absolutely love digging through this thrift store. It was honestly one of my favorite…read moreplaces around the Cincinnati area to hunt for treasures. Recently they purchased another building and split the store into two sections, keeping home goods in one building and clothing in the other. At first that sounded like a wonderful idea, and I was excited to see how it would turn out. Unfortunately, the expansion hasn't quite had the effect I hoped for. While the space is larger now, it almost feels like it just created more space for junk. When everything was in one building, it felt like there were more hidden gems to uncover. Now it often feels pretty picked over, and a lot of what's left is broken items and random stuff. That said, the store does have a lot of variety. There are clearly organized sections with plenty to browse. The holiday area is huge, with large Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving sections. There's also a big selection of wall art and picture frames, plus a dedicated kitchen section. You'll also find furniture, lamps, vases, technology items and cords, board games, and plenty of children's toys. I was also really unimpressed with the pricing. Some very basic items were priced at over $20 even though they clearly didn't have much value. These definitely weren't the fun thrift store prices you hope to find when you're treasure hunting. It felt more like retail pricing on secondhand items, which kind of takes away the excitement of thrifting. Unfortunately, the prices alone make this feel like one of the more expensive thrift stores rather than one of the good bargain spots. One thing that hasn't changed is how busy it is. The store is almost always packed, which shows it's still a popular spot. I just can't help feeling a little nostalgic for how it used to be when everything was together and it felt easier to stumble upon something special. Lately, I haven't had much luck finding anything good here, but it's still worth a stop if you enjoy browsing.

Woo hoo we hit the mother load of a sale at this St Vincent de Paul store. I love, love, love…read morethrifting and I love to style clothes the way I want them on me. I am 65 and by golly I earned it! It is too much fun going thrifting because you never know what you will find. The prices are always good in my opinion, definitely better than Goodwill but on this day anything with a red barb was 1.49 with 50% off, yep you read that right, I got clothes for 75 cents! We were in the store several hours and also went to the next parking lot to also shop their home decor, vases, furniture, toys and the like as they bought an old big lots and turned it into this part of their business. I purchased clothes, jewelry, shoes, and purses on this day. I also had a great time with my girlfriend combing through all of the goods and she found a lot of great items also including clothes, home decor, vases, and things for her garden. I will definitely be stopping back in this thrift to see what other great finds we come up with.

We spent almost 90 minutes shopping for the many treasures we found! The store is well organized, friendly employees, and big! That day we visited the store had 50% off all sleeveless shirts and capris! I uncovered some great sleeveless tops, with one still having the Nordstrom tag attached. I paid $2.50 for several classy tops! I purchased a larger suitcase, too! This store is definitely worth visiting! One must take time to see everything in order to truly uncover treasures like we did!

They have tons of board games, kitchenware, toys, housewares, and random little trinkets. Prices are usually pretty affordable, although there is the occasional crazy price. My biggest issue is the location. It's not in an area where I feel particularly safe. I've actually had a guy follow me out to my car here before, so I'm always on high alert when I'm leaving. Definitely not somewhere I'd recommend wandering around without being aware of your surroundings yet there was a security guard here last visit. One weird experience at checkout: the employee accused me of wiping off the price on a wax burner and writing a lower one. She was accusatory and made me uncomfortable. She eventually let me have it for the marked price because she was "too busy," but said she would've charged me more otherwise. It made me feel so weird, like she thought I was stealing!

The prices have…read moreconsistently been wonderful, and because pricing is managed independently at the store level, it never gets outrageous the way some larger chain thrift stores can. There are multiple sections of the store that are especially rich in great finds. The kitchen section is fantastic, with tons of glassware and kitchenware to dig through. They also have a large selection of wall art and picture frames. You'll also find plenty of trinkets, vases and planters, and furniture scattered throughout the store, which really adds to the treasure hunt feel. The main body of the store is filled with many clothing racks, and I've found a lot of great brands here, including plenty of Levi's jeans and similar staples. This is always the thrift store I recommend when someone says they want to start thrifting but don't know where to begin. It's approachable, affordable, and consistently rewarding. The staff has always been wonderful as well. There are a few employees who have worked here for years, and every interaction I've had with them has been pleasant and friendly. Sometimes the store can feel a little chaotic, but honestly, that just adds to the fun of searching through everything. Overall, I don't think I've ever left this store empty handed.

I visited this particular St. Vincent de Paul thrift store while visiting my bestie. I live in…read moreCalifornia, so I was excited to see how it compares to thrift stores here. We walked into this compact thrift store and immediately noticed that it was chock-full of merchandise! We checked the daily specials on a large sign, grabbed a shopping cart, and dove into the massive amount of hidden treasures! I started in the aisle with tons of toiletries and household items. I immediately zeroed in on several packages of what looked like high-end face creams. I rushed to my phone to Google the product and was excited to discover the retail prices ranged from $65 to $89 per container. Yes, I bought them all for a cool $3.99 each! I then moved on to the sleeveless tops and slacks, since they were 50% off. I found several beautiful tops, plus some skinny slacks that still had the Macy's retail tag attached! The retail price listed was $139! Again, my excitement escalated! I found some nice picture frames for .50 cents each. I uncovered some marvelous discoveries! Positive experience! The drawback was that the clothes racks were so crowded that it was difficult to look at the clothes. Also, it wasn't the neatest store! So much merchandise shoved onto the shelves that you really have to know how to thrift store shop in order to uncover the real deals! Luckily, I'm a professional thrifter so I know the ropes, however, for a novice, it might be overwhelming! All in all it's worth visiting! Nice employees as well!

I also noticed a bit of jewelry in a case up front next to the registers and I found a brooch I liked in there. I didn't have a lot of time today as my husband was with me and he is not much of a shopper. They did have quite a lot of shoes but they pair I picked up and thought I might buy were $20 and I really felt like that was too much. I will have to check this location out another time when I have more time but at first glance I did not like it as well as some of the other locations I have been to.

The home goods section can be a mixed bag, but I've found some really great items there. They have a smaller book section, but I've found that the titles are usually pretty good. Prices are generally pretty fair. If you're looking for recognizable brand-name clothes at a bargain though, this might not be the place because they know what they have and tend to price up on anything with a known brand name, regardless of the item's condition. I left today with a desk chair, a wooden shelf, an Athleta top, a lightly used board game, and a book that had been on my TBR list. Overall, definitely worth stopping by if you enjoy thrifting!

We did notice a lot of people walking out empty-handed. Just a few minutes into my visit I quickly figured out why. To call this place a thrift store is really stretching it. The prices here are completely inflated. I could go to a Ross or Burlington and buy most of this stuff for less money than they're charging for it used. A few things here and there appear to be reasonably priced, but if you want anything that has a name brand on it, you're going to completely overpay. Shoes, T-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, you name it and it was overpriced. I will never go back to this store again, there aren't that many deals to be found and if there are, I don't have the time to search for them.
