    One of my purchases.
    Caroleann B.

    I enjoy looking at resale items especially specific camping items and good old school CD's. A friend and I checked out the place and found a couple of things we most likely didn't need, but still compelled to buy (future hoarders). At the entrance they have a board with what discounts they are running at that time. The place is well lit and the elbow room is great. You don't feel you are going to knock something over. I found that mostly everything I picked up was clearly marked, and displayed nicely, not just thrown on the shelf. They had things nicely arranged, and organized. They had a little bit of everything, but sadly I did not find any fun camping items. They had plenty of room to place large furniture. And it looks like they may hold items for you once you have purchased it, and can make arrangements to pick up later. The place is very clean and doesn't have that musty odor when you stroll through the clothing area. It's a decent size store and has good intentions. TERI, Training, Education, Resource Institute goal is to improve the quality of life for children ad adults with developmental and learning disabilities. Just steps away from the register you will find some beautiful art/craft items crafted by those challenged with developmental disabilities. You should check out, I purchased a couple of pieces, gifted one and kept the other. This stop is located in a strip mall. There is plenty of parking, but it does get quite busy. If you don't have to, I suggest not parking directly in front of the store or you will have a difficult time pulling out due to high traffic.

    This used to be my favorite thrift store, now I won't be going back. The woman working the day I went with my daughter has been there for years, I don't think she's the manager, and she is not friendly. For clarification, she's the older woman, tall with dark poofy-ish hair, always dressed for success., not the shorter more casual woman that I think is the actual manager and whom I think is terrific. Anyhoo, the day we went in was a sale day, I'd gotten an email alert for a flash sale. We shopped, and at one point I asked the woman to clarify the sale and she said there's a sign, to which I said it was hard to decipher, while I'm Thinking that was rude of her to say. Honestly her whole vibe was bitchy. When I went to pay it turns out none of my items were part of the sale, I was confused because the sign said all colored tags, ALL OF THEIR TAGS ARE COLORED! She tells me again, I should read the signs! So I end up p Keeping one shirt and tell my daughter I'll pay for her stuff, assuming at least she got the deals ( she's a very savvy shopper and has been here many times before.) I pay for everything and as I'm leaving I was going over what I just paid in my head and checking the receipt, I paid full price for everything! Meanwhile another woman checking out with a huge amount of clothes seemed to get a discount on everything. So I went back to the counter to ask why it appeared I received no discounts, she again tells me to read the signs. I was over the attitude and so just snapped a few pics of the signs and left. Honestly, I got the impression that she didn't like us the minute we walked in the door with our Covid 19 masks on, we wear them everywhere for several reasons, which really is no one else's business. We are well aware of the looks of disdain we get from others much of the time, I'm not sure why people are so upset by them, but it doesn't matter, I have to wear a mask. That being said, the woman working that day, had the nerve to ask my daughter "what's with the masks ?" Really? Why would you ask a personal question like that? What if my daughter had said "because I have Leukemia and I have to be careful?" After the obvious rude attitude she'd already given, that was just a confirmation that she particularly didn't care for us. Sorry Teri, I used to drop things off, then spend money in the shop, and recommend you to others, not anymore. Sad that one bad apple can spoil the bunch.

    This is a GORGEOUS SOFA and they deliver ! I am sooo happy with this purchase! thank you terri inspired resale, (& Jocelyn)

    Top was $3.50, shorts were $2 and the shoes were 4.99. Whole outfit for about $10!

    This is a gem of a thrift store, and me and my daughter's new favorite. Just happened upon this store as I was passing thru and they were having a flash sale - half off on all clothing. I started picking up a few things, and sending pics to my daughter and finally just told her to come in to see for herself. She arrived and we found so many great items- half of which was new with retail tags. Daughter also found two pair of great shoes for $4.99 and $5.99. They look barely worn. The store was fresh and clean and nicely organized. They have two large fitting rooms to try on clothes. The employees were so friendly and helpful. Loved all the jewelry and accessories they have on display. They also have very nice furniture- clean and in good shape. Will be visiting often now that I know about the place.

    They always have amazing deals!

    Don't let the size fool you because this place is always packed with amazing finds! From designer purses to quality furniture. They beat most, if not all other thrift sites from orange county to the south, when it comes to quality and price!!!! They associates are pleasant and helpful. The process go to ask amazing cause. The only thing I would change is for them to extend their hours! This place come HIGHLY recommended!!! Since the weather is nice and people are out, make your way up to North County and spend some time at this hidden jem!

    *** This store is now at 3772 Mission Ave, Oceanside, CA 92058 - and has been renamed to TERI Inspired Resale *** This is a pretty good shop - I didn't find anything I wanted but the items were fairly nice for a thrift store. Some items were a little pricey (like picture frames that were close to $10 here (about the price of new) would be maybe $5 at the most elsewhere) but other items were reasonably priced. There was a decent selection of used furniture that could be a great start for someone knowledgeable about re-upholstering. Also, there were some nice pieces of affordable art made by TERI clients, at the front of the store. I talked to one of the employees who explained that this is the new location for the thrift store formerly known as Potpourri, that was previous located on S Coast Hwy. This made it a little confusing until I made the phone call, when it looks like this shop is still at the old location. I've submitted a request to Yelp to request that the name & address be changed (note the phone # is still the same)

    Completely rude/ racist and homophobic! Was treated like shit while in this store!! Went to counter to checkout and stood on the square and was completely social distancing and the rude bitch working there decided she wanted to be a Karen and was completely out of line when she told me I needed to step back because she was already helping someone that was obviously invisible because I was clearly the one standing in front of the register. I looked at her in confusion as she continued to tell me to step away from the register. I won't spend a penny in that store!!!

    I cannot say enough great things about this place. As the mother of two autistic children, I love the work that Teri does with our special needs community. I went on Thursday for their 50% off sale. I scored five shirts, one jacket, a cute taco holder set, two books and a movie for $15! I always enjoy seeing Rose when I stop in. I hadn't been in for a while but she remembered me and asked how my husband was doing (cancer survivor) and how my two girls are. Made me feel so good that she cared. She's the sweetest lady!

    See all

    If you drove by this place, you'd never guess what's hiding inside. From the outside it looks like…read moreit's all furniture, but don't be fooled. Head to the back and you'll find a beautifully curated selection of thrifted gems, from clothes to accessories to unique finds, all at really reasonable prices. This has become one of my favorite Saturday afternoon rituals in Oside. There's just something about the hunt, the vibe, and the little surprises you find every time. Lisa is the best. So kind, welcoming, and a big part of what makes this place feel special. Pro tip, follow them on Instagram so you can keep up with their sales. If you love thrifting and hidden gems, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

You never know what you are going to find, and the prices are consistently incredible. Todd, the owner, is genuinely one of the nicest, most down to earth people you will meet. He truly wants to help everyone and it trickles down to his team. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The employees are amazing as well. It feels like a family atmosphere, not just a store. Everyone is friendly, remembers your name, and goes out of their way to help. They have even offered to carry items out to my car, which you just do not see very often anymore. This place is a gem. Great deals, great people, and an all around great experience every time. Highly recommend. Twenty billion stars out of 5.
