In MY opinion, this is the best thrift store around! It is a place that not only holds a lot of fond memories for me (me and my mom, before she passed, this was our tradition- to thrift together at Valley Thrift), it has the best prices around! Who can beat discounted thrift?!? The array of everything from homegoods, furniture, purses/bags, shoes, and my favorite their clothing! I love Valley Thrift! I've been to my fair share of thrift stores, and this wins! Now that I have moved out of state, this is the one place I look forward to coming when I visit home. As for their service, it is average, staff will help you get in and out at the register, but that is all you may get. Lol. None the less, what they may lack in service, they up for in the selections! It's all worth it. Check it out for yourself! It's the best! Happy shopping! read more

Selection is great and some stuff isn't marked up as much as other thrift stores. Very good selection and very clean selection at that. The employees are pretty friendly but hard to understand is the only thing that I would change but they are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend the stores have a big selection so make sure to give yourself time to go through the whole store! read more

Good service, aisles comfortably wide, BIG store! Nice selection of clothing. Smaller sections for furniture, very few books. Decent prices, though! read more

I have been coming here literally since I was a kid, and now my kids are going here (with my mom). Prices have definitely gotten higher over the years but I always end up spending hours here and finding a lot of great stuff. read more

Valley Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was at this store today. I can't believe the prices on items. Men shorts $14.99 to $24.99 and the racks were overflowing . Come on people this stuff didn't cost the store anything it's all donated. Macy's has discount department and the clothing there is not used !! You wouldn't have so much stuff if the items were priced to sale. This is a shame . I'll be going back to Macy's !!!!!! TKS! for nothing read more

In order to to look here at their house goods u have to have a good eye and good neck/head postulate and most of all patience. Most items are thrown everywhere. Albums mixed with mugs, candles mixed with skillets, no organization. The prices equal Walmart, Target, HomeGoods....soooooo overpriced. Not recommended. read more

Not near as fun as it used to be. I believe someone is buying the "good stuff" before it goes to the floor. It's more junk now. So sad. Also high prices. Poor selection. Service is ok but most don't speak English. ​ read more

This store is huge which is great. Lots of selections to choose from. However, the prices are very very high. If you are not careful, you can easily over pay for sure. I will only shop here if they are having their big sales otherwise I won't even bother coming here. read more

Half the Blu-rays I just bought were just empty cases. Don't buy any media without opening the sealed bags and checking first!

This is the best thrift store that I know of. The prices will seem high when you first get there but then you look up at the sign that tells you which items are going to be marked down for that day. And generally you can get a good deal. Their merchandise is higher quality. Kept clean and organized. And the workers are very willing to help. read more

I do not know where to begin! This used to be a really nice thrift store but now the prices are so outrageous. I mean outrageous. Their tops are $8 $9 dollars sone even $11. Ceramics that are broken are very $19.99. Even other things they're just so so expensive. It really made me so depressed. I tried finding something. Nice! There were some things that were for 299 399 but most of the stuff was way over $6.07 dollars you're better off going to tops $5.29 none of this 11 , 12, 9 dollars ridiculous. you can go to Walmart or Macy's bargain for cheaper prices than for these used clothing that is donated. I went through and picked an outfit a a bottom just to see what price I came up with and it came to almost $60. read more

I found a lot of good bargains and the people at checkout were friendly and quick in checking us out.

Shocked at the high prices as these are donated items. Most who shop here do so as it was once more affordable! I also hope the employees are being paid fairly ( especially considering the high prices) as all the ones i interacted with cannot speak but a handful of words in English. I hope they are not being exploited! read more

Valley thrift is a very nice and clean thrift.Store the workers are eager to help prices are low and there's always discounts in deals going on different ones different days highly recommend read more

Large Thrift store with items individually priced. They have clothing in all categories, shoes, purses, household items, and even furniture. They also have glass cases at the front with higher priced, nicer items. I saw several really nice pairs of sneakers and decent furniture. Most of the jewelry was costume jewelry. They do offer discounts on certain colored tags each day and every major federal holiday, the entire store is 50% off. There are fitting rooms and restrooms available. I will say some of the prices are high, so I would suggest going on a discount day/Holiday. My first visit ever just so happened to be on a holiday, it was surprisingly not that busy (nothing like the Goodwill 50% off days used to be). All the check outs are self scanners. Also, it's difficult to find someone who speaks fluent english here. read more

Very deceitful prices on some items & when improper ticket scanning occurs, they will make no adjustment! Ripped me off for $55.00 when a $1.89 scarf scanned for $55.00. It was supposed to have a dress with it but they wouldn't honor that in spite of how the ticket read! Clearly cheating their customers...beware! read more

Everything is all together for the most part (clothes with clothes) houseware things were not "organized", but my daughter and I had fun discovering all the treasures! We enjoyed this store so much......BUT, some of the prices are outrages, so much so, I wouldn't pay for that item at that price brand new. It was fun though. read more

Valley Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The prices in the Valley Thrift stores have gotten so high that it is actually cheaper to shop at retail stores! I'm a frequent thrifter, as is my daughter and have been for many years. A very large portion of my clothing, accessories and decor have come from thrifting. But the prices at the Valley are now more expensive for used clothing than in retail stores for brand new clothing. And I'm talking about clothing that is stained, with rips or comes from online cheap shopping sites that charge only pennies for the clothing and it's priced liked it's perfect condition high end clothing. Same goes for the decor/glassware shelves. It makes no sense to shop at the Valley thrift when you can buy name brand clothing on sale at Macy's for less than the cheap, damaged clothing at the Valley. Decor is cheaper at Marshall's and the like than it is at the Valley. And the vintage stuff? If it's found, it's marked up to crazy prices to try to compete with all the 'resellers' trying to make a quick buck. I won't be shopping in a Valley Thrift for the foreseeable future. read more

If you have OCD this is not for you. There is no organization to items like kitchen and electronic, however they had a large furniture section and the kids area was pretty large. They did have a pretty good overall variety of clothing but the staple there tags to the clothing. I took away 2 stars for organization on items and the staples on clothing. read more

Found some good stuff here! Not very clean, but what can you expect from a thrift store. Just went looking for an old picture frame and found some great options. read more

I love thrifting. So much more fun to browse than department stores. This place is HUGE and everything is displayed on shelves. There seems to be more items than clothing but maybe I just ran out of time. I can't wait to go back. read more

One of the bigger thrift stores in the area and a little sad to say that the prices have gone up to much for a thrift store. The other location seems to at least be keeping the majority of there inventory more reasonable. I am impressed with how the staff does keep the store looking tidy and well stocked. Everyone working there is staying busy and accommodating if you need the help. I was also grateful that the store had working air and fans to keep it cool during a hot summer day. My wife and I go to multiple thrift stores on her birthday and usually always make it out to this location. Last year at this time we walked out with a whole shopping cart and didn't spend more than $40-50. This year however was a bit of a downer due to the higher prices and we only walked out with two dresses and a sweatshirt costing $30. It was disappointing and wonder why the cost of items are so different compared to the other location? I also found it to be less crowded then usual indicating consumers might not be happy with how much they're spending, just my opinion of course. You will be able to find some deals but will have to look closely. I recommend looking at the other location over this one and hope that this shop can find a way to make selections more reasonable priced for their customers. read more

I've been shopping here for decades but this was my first visit in several years -- I was blown away! The selection of items is just as vast as before but the store is now so well organized that you can easily shop for exactly what you're looking for and even casually browse along the way without feeling overwhelmed. 100% recommend! read more

Valley Thrift Store - Beautifully color-coordinated aisles - Thrift Stores Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The prices are way too high. There will be a tag from the dollar store on the item and it's priced higher. The percentage off system they use is a scam. They pull all the items once they reach 50% off, take them to the back re-sticker them as new items at a higher price than when it first time they went to the floor. Probably half of the stuff they have on the shelves is above retail price. read more

Selection was okay but way overpriced. Not a true thrift store. Service to check out was fast but no interaction from cashier (likely only due to language barrier). read more

Too expensive. There are used dollar tree items for $.99. You can go get a brand new one for $1.25. St Vinny is my go to. They are reasonably priced read more

Prices have gotten so bad here it's not worth going to at all. These are donated items being sold for MORE than retail. Not just more - but far more! This place use to be great to shop at, but management is running it into the ground. You don't make money by raising prices so high that you drive all your customers away. You make money with good deals and a lot of customers. Simple math. Also, barely anyone that works here speaks English. They also ruin old items with their price sticker placement. I could go on and on, but the point is this place is a waste of time now. It's obvious that they are sending the "good" stuff elsewhere. Shelves are not the same as in years past and it's extremely noticeable. Also, the owner donates barely any of the money to the veterans and makes millions. If you want to make millions by all means go for it, but don't pretend it's for charity. read more

This place gets talked up ALoT in my friend circles so I finally made a decision to go and I wasn't impressed. Yes they have a huge space but it mostly holds junk. Nothing is marked as far as sizes go for outfits. They may have treasures but you will need to spend most of your day doing that and I'd rather enjoy my weekend. Good news is there is plenty of parking! read more

The majority of the pricing is shamefully expensive. They receive these items for free and then try to sell at store cost or sometimes even higher. However, if you take time and search, there are many items reasonably priced. read more

I am a loyal Valley shopper for the past few years- it's always been unorganized but reasonably priced. Since the recent management change, their prices are criminal. This is just one example of many of a time an item (that is DONATED) is priced the same or more as the original cost. We saw a trinket box as well that sold for $6 at goodwill, and priced $16 at Valley. I will not be returning and am disappointed considering this is one of the main thrifting stores in the area. Stop at St Vincent next door- it's great read more

Last 2 times I was there things were either junk or over-priced. (Not to say other thrift stores have been much better lately.)

This place is huge so it's nice but prices are insane !!!! wayyyy too overpriced for a thrift store. $15 for a pair of pants? $10 for most shirts. $20 for a bed sheet! i got a very nice queen blanket from target for $15.... Mondays are 50% off but that is just what they should normally be priced read more

Very good prices but a little bit dirty. I like the variety of goods. its a good service for the workers read more

i absolutely love this place. people have recently been complaining about pricing, and i agree the pricing has increased and is still increasing but it is still much cheaper and much more variety than any other stores have to offer. We stop in about once a month and always leave with something. read more

This is the nicest cleanest thrift store I ever went to. It does NOT smell musty and its not over crowded. As soon as you walk in there is a TV screen by the front entrance and it show what color tags are marked 25%, 50% or 75% for that day. Each day the colors changes. I get really good deals and never leave there without good deals. My best deal was when I found a pair of lightweight Ray Ban mens Liteforce polarized sunglasses for 99 cents. I figured they were fake but they were barely worn. I was going to put them in the boat. When I got home I checked online and they were expensive. I cant wait to go back. read more

If you are going for customer service then you will be disappointed but if you go for the funds then you in the right place. Every time I go this place does not disappoint! read more

Super busy, great selection. They are constantly putting new stuff on the shelves. Kind of expensive on some things because the volume is so high read more

If your looking for a bargain, you won't find one here! As a thrifter for 30 years, my advice is don't waste you time or gas going to Valley thrift! That said, they used to be a great bargain hotspot... but in the last year their prices have gotten sooo High, that you can hardly find a deal at all! But if you don't mind paying Mall prices for someone else's junk that the greedy owner got free, then this is the spot to go! They have a lot of DollarTree items marked up to $5 to $7 per item, and used towels for $5 to $10, when you can get them at Kohls, Penney's, or Walmart new on sale for $5 to $7. I personally am pretty much done with Valley Thrift! If you agree please like this comment. It's important to let these greedy agencies know, we know your greed has made you no longer interested in serving the poor and more interested in padding their pockets, Don't forget to like: read more

Absolutely love the store but can no longer afford to buy clothing there! I've seen other stores like Goodwill keep their prices reasonable. A simple tank top should not cost 14 dollars! Isn't the reason for shopping and donating to help low income families? read more

Such a huge store with so many great selections to choose from. Lots of aisles with home items and decor! I can always find something here. The clothes selection is great too, better then most thrift stores around here. They also have days where certain colored tickets are an additional percent off the original ticketed price. read more
