I didn't like to shop at Stuff in the past b/c it was too crowded. I used to be a Goodwill fan, but their prices are higher than they used to be, so for a "true" bargain, you have to go to Salvation Army, which tends to smell "off".
Stuff is a used clothing / everything store, so you have to pick thru the selection...is it current, clean, or useful (?) just like other "thrift" stores.
What I DO like about Stuff is their clearance area can be a real bargain, with up to 90% off on the right day (GW and "Sally" don't offer that). I do think their stuff is clean and usually in good working order.
They also have a website to get coupons and have weekly specials using their black recycle bag. They are super generous to donate to charitable organizations (see the website).
I have never consigned, so I can't speak to that. I don't own anything of real value, so I hope my donations to Treasures (BridgeHaven) will help someone out moreso than consigning for a few dollars.
Even with their huge expansion, Stuff's consigning area is kind of junky and overwhelming, but with everything in the new store so open and exposed, where can they hide it? read more
