I hit the jackpot with things I was looking for including a jacket, dishware, holiday, and crafting supplies. Staff were very friendly at this location (shout-out to Henriette who checked me out). It was quite busy for a Monday, and I actually told two kids (with their mother!) not to run around wildly because they could hit someone (namely me with my cane: I don't want to fall). A staff member came over and said thank you for saying something, so that's a reminder to customers to be cautious in busy spaces with close aisles. Prices vary, but look for the discount color sticker to minimize the cost. I got a blazer for $8 and craft supplies for way less than they'd be at Michael's!

There's a lot of great clothing that's in great condition too. Plenty of dressing rooms to try them on too! They even had Halloween decorations up you could buy some light up Halloween items for only a few bucks. Great selection of home decor items and practical household goods. They even had a phone protective case for only $2 where I bought mine for about $30! Check out lines weren't too long. Prices on some items were pricey. Overall, i highly recommend visiting the store.

I was shocked at men's shorts running from a low of $6.99 to as high as $12.99. Simple household items that you can buy from Dollar Tree for $1.25 are priced at $2.99. I won't surprised if they close at some point. We shouldn't forget that everything they sell is 100% profit. Since they are a nonprofit they pay little in taxes. Within the last two months all the old price tags have been replaced with their new increased prices. This store is a big money maker according to the employees.

This is the resale shop that benefits The Wellness House- a not-for-profit organization that…read moreprovides families and individuals with the tools needed to meet the challenges of everyday life after a cancer diagnosis. The Courtyard is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, with proceeds directly supporting Wellness House. I was expecting something very different. These pieces in here are not only incredibly expensive, but also caught somewhere between old and not old enough. There are absolutely some antique pieces here that are stunning. There are also pieces in here that are outdated (not in the cool way). While I've gotten the occasional "hello and welcome in", none of the staff is overly friendly... which is odd because everyone at The Wellness House ARE friendly and inviting. I wanted to love this place, but it feels like their target market is old and upscale. It also feels like this is a project kept going by retired interior designers. Perhaps a change in the friendly, inviting atmosphere as well as more moderately priced pieces? That's the marketing person in me and clearly not what The Courtyard is going for. (So what are they going for?)

All the…read moreshelves are just stuff put on top of stuff and why doesn't it sell because they doubled their price! No more vintage clothes?? At a thrift store!! Wanted an 80's - 2000's party dress none here. No funky unique clothing here! Looks more like a kohl's clothing rack! All more modern clothing but at almost retail price for USED clothing!! $12.99 a used sweater - No thanks! And they don't sell pajamas? Why I have no idea!! I need some warmer sleeping lounge pants. $8.99 here - brand new at Walmart - yup $8-10 range!! And the music? Felt like I was at the Aria hotel in Vegas? It's faced pace dance music. While I am browsing and shopping? Isn't the idea to keep us in the store longer and not feel rushed? Maybe they know that the younger crowd and grandmas shops there but separately. But us young people shop there because we want the same stuff grandma's want at thrift pricing. Oh and the cashier changed the price on me. Twice! First item It had 2 tags at $1.99 and she said no I priced this item this morning at 4.99? I was like what!! Then A handmixer had a tag of $1.99 in a really weird spot! but she ripped the tag and said it should be $3.99. These tags once removed leave a residue so people don't take the tags off and reduce the price!! I should have asked for a manger! I declined the 2 items because you guessed it a new handmixer at Walmart is $7! Rather but it new and know it works and it's new!! And then she didn't like the fact that I got $4 plate at $2 because it was the color of the day? So what's the problem here I was going to ask? SMH Goodwill has lost its way! Just go to kohl's and Walmart - similar prices and IT'S NEW!!

St.Vincent was the place I enjoyed going to…read morejust to escape the world and find some peace and quiet while I hunted and pecked to find deals...not for resale, but for myself. I am not slamming the top manager. He is only trying to make money for the program St. Vincent has to help people in need. As a past reselller, estate sale conductor, a once partner to an estate sale company, I can see things of value...not clothing, I can't stand that. But collectibles. I've noticed new patterns. 1. Prices are up to at least 1/2 the cost of an ebay asking price. 2. Broken collectibles still priced high as if undamaged. 3. Collectible pieces put behind the check out counter holding high prices. 4. A new sneaky practice I only saw at a Goodwill I was a manager at and discountinued, the practice of burying large items of collectible furniture, or marking it sold. To back up this claim, I have seen flippers (you get to recognize them after you see them a slew of times) ask for the manager...ugg...and he comes out and I hear, "Hey...what can you do on the price for this?" The worst piss me off time was when a man walked into the work area the public is not allowed to go in and he came out with the manager. He pointed to a folding MCM dining table, I knew what it was, and the possiblity of it's worth, and it was sold for 10 bucks. Yeah....a cherry/walnut folding dining table for 10 bucks. I've seen Heywood Wakefield dining sets behind chairs (we are talking now in the thousands). 1930s metal cabinets or display cases which bring in a pretty good 200-300 bucks return...sold for 15 dollars. That gets my goat more than anything. Goodwill stopped the practice of that. They do it for themselves now. The people who donate items out of generosity or need, may write things off their taxes. To me, this is against the policy of helping people in need. Yeah, people can say...if you want a deal get there before the flippers...I get it. Today was the 'straw that broke the camels back'. I was going to pick up my meds. I stopped at the store for snits and giggles. I saw two items...no price tag. The lady in front said she would get the manager. Now, she is new I think and have tried to talk with her before. Her attitude is worse than a person with hallotosis, and b.o. at the same time. Her attitude. She placed a price on them which if they were at regular price I would walk. But today was half off day. Score. Yes, I bought them. One for me and one for my daughter. Then I saw a wall coat rack bar. It was 6 feet long made of hard wood. Did i want to buy it for my wall and coats? NO. My bed broke last night and I had to repair the frame. So,I thought, hey, I could buy the rack and support the mission, and save money because I am a person in financial need. It was not priced. The lady who helped me the first time said, it was not marked I couldn't buy it. Then she called the 'manager' I was told it belonged to another piece of furniture. I said, no...it was a wall coat rack. She insisted it was part of another piece of furniture. I remained polite, and respectful. I pulled up a photo of a similar product to 'teach' someone it was not what they thought. It didn't matter. Now the story was, "it is not priced and had to go through the process." exact quote. I looked at her. "Really? You priced these two thing." She just reiterated her excuse. I had felt a feeling I hadn't before. On top of the sneakiness, high prices, and rudeness by this one person, I realized, I can't shop here anymore. I stopped looking for that cool handmade mug by an artesian from Europe. I stopped looking for the depression glass juicer. I stopped looking for Theodore Haviland China, Waterford Crystal, Limoges, Belleck..and more. This store has become a mutant offshoot of Goodwill and Salvation Army. Now, for clothing fine, and that is great for people who wear clothes. I do...lol...but for everything else...it just seems it is not about helping people anymore, but helping those who don't need it (flippers...hey if a person wants to flip, let them register and donate 25% of the profit to St. Vincent) and not helping those who do need help. Not everyone needs to walk in and fill out a form who is in need. Most of us, walk in and look for something to save a few or a bunch of bucks. Oh well...the last of thrift stores for escaping reality is over for me at St. Vincent, which a flipper may enjoy because I might pick up an American Brilliant Cut Glass with a first generation Copley marking which could bring in over $600! I know because I sold a second generation one ten years ago for $250. No more. And to top all this off, is hearing an employee talk about the flippers who come in. Okay fine. But don't rub our faces in it.

I have been going to the Joliet restore for quite a few years now. I usually have a pretty good…read moreexperience but the last few times I left feeling very irritated with the manager. I have also noticed that things have gotten pretty pricey in the last year. There is a man that works there, I think he may be the manager, that is very rude. I have negotiated on prices in the past when buying furniture pieces and he acted like I was asking him to buy it for me. I understand the goal is to make as much money as possible to not only sustain the store but the charity as well, but that doesn't mean that you treat people so bad that they choose not to come back. I would have only given one star but the other people that work there are very nice and the store is a great resource for people and I would hate to know that one person's bad attitude would cause people not to shop there.

Records everywhere, well-organized, catalogued in a way that's convenient and easy to find. Their selection is also amazing! I saw quite a few things there I have not see anywhere else. In terms of pricing, everything is pretty fair, dare I say a steal. They had a super rare bootleg for $100, having collected for a while that is a STEAL. I just wish the staff was nicer. The guy working was helpful, I won't deny that. However when I asked for records by a specific artist I like, his first response was to insult them pretty heavily for a controversy they got in nearly a decade ago. Now I am not a para social person--I do not hold personal investment in the perceptions people have on things I like. However I found the comments to be contradictory and rude. The store sells records by the likes of the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin--two bands I love, but two bands who are not free from controversy themselves. This immediately ruined my experience and I really hate saying that. I put down what I was going to purchase and I left. In my opinion, a response as simple as "I'm sorry, we don't carry anything by them," would have been suitable. Three stars. Cool store, great selection, good value. Unfortunately I just had a terrible personal experience there.
