    My daughter is into thriftily. Me, not so much but I will humor her and take her to some. For me, i have never gotten something that fitted right. Oh well, my fault. Unique has a huge quantity of clothing, housewares and the usual thrift store fare. It's well organized and the clothes are in good condition and it definitely scratched that thrift store itch. I would say it is a step above Good Will but the prices might be slightly more. There are lots of workers and the cashiers are plentiful. Next time I come to visit, I'm pretty sure my daughter will ask to go back there again. Apparently there is a half off discount on Mondays.

    Yes, I can be a thrifty shopper.... depending on what I'm in the need for at the time. Unique is not really all that Unique. When I was younger thrift stores just didn't catch my thrift. Now, that I'm a little older and quite wiser. I enjoy having to save a few dollars on nice thrifty and inexpensive things to buy. It's just a basic thrift store with a bunch of clothes thrown up on racks. It's really not a bad thing cause you can find some really nice and quality things inside this store. It's just the customers who comes in there and toss things on the racks and on the floor. It gets kind of busy on a Monday for their store wide sale day. Yep you heard me correct. Unique has sale days where you can get an additional off your items throughout the store Sign up for their reward club and get additional off as well. Each items are labeled with different color tags and priced. A fitting room for you to try on your items and over in the corner when you enter the store is a cute little jewelry counter. The sales associates are usually just standing around talking not really much helping the customers. It's just a fair game to come in and shop at your own risk. Also, make sure to bring your own bags. They charge for shopping bags as well.

    I found this location while driving through the neighborhood after work, which prompted me to stop in on a later date. I stopped in looking for a nice sized pot to make spaghetti, and found just that. The pot was listed at $8.99, but I saved $4.49 paying only $4.50 in the end. I saved due to purchasing on their Monday sales day and signing up for the super savers club, which did not cost any extra to register, but any other day that pot purchased may have varied in its price. As for this location I cannot knock it for the quality of items sold because the items sold are based off of what the neighborhood residents drop off. However, I can knock it for cleanliness and prices listed. While walking through this place, I could not help but think to myself how cluttered this location was, and how pricey some of the prices are. I honestly think that they should revise some of their prices because certain items are ridiculously overpriced, and for that I rate this place 3 stars. If I could give them 3 1/2, I would, however its not an option. I love thrift stores and I'm quite positive that I will stop in again, but it will be occasionally if not on a Monday because of what I have noticed thus far. Thomas G

    Unique is part of the Savers owned thrift stores, and this Irving Park location is mega sized! I've found so many great things here: Bestselling business books/novels, Norman Rockwell glasses, dinner plate sets, Starbucks mug, fun t-shirts, handmade Mexican bag, etc. Throughout the years, prices have gone up a bit, which helps me to be more deliberate about the pieces I need, but it's the hunt and hidden gems that still makes secondhand shopping fun. My main frustrations are the half off Monday madness, and the t-shirt section has been overstocked with promo shirts that people honestly don't want to buy - not sure if they're pulled off the rack at some point, but it's tedious to shift through those.

    99 cents at the dollar store but why not pay an extra 4 bucks for this cheap toy? What a bargain! ‍

    See all

    OK, I guess but everything is wildly overpriced which kind of defeats the purpose. I'll stick to Village Discount

    Ho-hum standard pickings here, nothing snazzy did find an interesting dark blue hat with a veil hence the five stars!

    This review is an updated YAY review. Not sure if there is new management or new workers, but the employees are much more kind now.

My son's class came here to help sort thru the many many bags of donations they receive. I thought the staff at Cradles to Crayons did an amazing job explaining to a group of 3rd graders how this was an opportunity to help those less fortunate and love that they also got to help with the process. We spent a few hours sorting thru piles of clothing and dividing them into different categories (winter coats, girls short sleeve shirts, skirts to name a few). The kids had a lot of fun and even got a few chuckles when they came across things like bras and thongs, which were thrown in the "recycle bin." After a few hours of work they took a tour of the amazing facility, ate lunch and the Cradles to Crayon staff wrapped it up by praising them on their hard work! My son mentioned it was a super fun day and I think he enjoyed it more than the other field trips we've taken this year (ex: Chicago History Museum). I've now been here 3 times for field trips with my kids and each time I make a note that I need to come separately of school. This time I'm determined to make the time to donate my time to this amazing organization and great excuse to clean out my closets ahead of time to make a donation!
