I love going to St Vincent thrift store. Before Covid and after they always had great prices. That's why I shop there and I only donate to them. Every week they have a color tags that are on sale. The color tags are half off or 50 cents. Other thrift store that I use to shop at have changed. Goodwill stopped having color tags sales, they also over priced the things that people donated. I talked to a lot of people that agreed with me that they will no longer shop there or donate because of their greed. Double edge has change. They no longer take back their products. If you bought something that didn't fit you are sol. They also do their pricing by looking up an item and price the item just a little less than the original price. St Vincent is pricing their things for the people. All these people are getting these idems for free. Please if you donate your things please think why you are donating. Are you donating to make that place richer or are you helping people that don't have much money and they need things to survive.

This is probably my favorite thrift store in town, despite the odd hours it's a great place to thrift! It's clean, has a great selection of items, the staff are always friendly and best of all the prices are great. Definitely check it out if you can!

I love donating and shopping here where most of my dollar goes toward helping the local community. SVDP does that through the help of their kind & giving volunteers. Unlike many other donation stores that have executives making exorbitant salaries.
I see some reviews complain about their hours. Those people must not realize SVPD is all volunteer. The volunteers at SVPD are an inspiration of how we should all donate our time volunteering for a local non-profit charity to help our community. Remember that and be thankful and kind to the people who are. Nice items, great store, friendly people, good prices!

Many different things, clothes, kitchen goods, electronics, books, along with a special section for Catholic religious products. Nice clean, friendly store. When purchasing use cash and donate your change. Every dime and dollar helps!! They open at 10:00 and are only open Thursday through Saturday.

TLDR: Very short hours, great deals for great cause.

Pros:
Size-wise, this is probably the largest thrift store in all of the TC area, but I think that Goodwill has more inventory. Very eclectic variety of items, about %50 was clothing. Great selection of crafting supplies. Fantastic religious gift store inside. The employees are some of the kindest and most helpful people you'll ever meet at a thrift store. Prices are very good; so good I'd recommend making an additional donation if you can afford it. Store is organized very well.

Cons:
Shortest working hours of any of any thrift store I've seen.

Good people truely helping the community and doing God's work!

One of the best places to go thrifting in town! Amazing selection with a ton of variety. The only downside is the weird hours. And it can be very packed with people at times. If you can get in to shop, it’s definitely worth it!

Love the people that volunteer their time there to the community! Good prices compared to other local Thrift Stores. Would recommend them to anyone interested in garage sales all year round!?

Friends of mine needed emergency help with their electricity and were directed to this place. They said that my friends more them qualify for the meap program. They waited a week to send in the paper work and the electricity was turned off on april 15th. Today is may 2nd and my friends still don't have electricity. It was supposed to take 10 days for an answer. Not 18 days or more. They cant go anywhere else till they get an answer about being denied. When my friends call they won't answer the phone. We call and call and get an answering machine with no return call. Very irritating. Supposed to be a place with people who care. I see it differently.
