Neat place to consistently check up on for finds. I lucked out on a dress worth $150 for $3. It was my first time there, and I went with my mother-in-law on a Monday. She paid for my items and we received 50% off our whole order because of her senior age. I felt super lucky!

This place has a wide variety of clothing. Not too many furniture items, but they do carry a nice selection of cups, plates, and other kitchenware.

Make sure you check out what deals they have on different days and plan accordingly to find some great offers.

Loved it. The half off back to school sale got me lots of good deals. I’ve found many gems at this store.

Great deals. Been finding amazing outfits for Summer lately and so excited about it ❤ bummed they no longer give coupons after every $20 purchase, but oh well.

By far the best thrift store in the area! Always discounts and if you’re a student or teacher, you get 50% discounts every Tuesday! Only affordable thrift store around the area cuz goodwills seem to be like you’re buying things new and it’s become unaffordable. This place though, ACTUALLY helps people out who need it. Wonderful staff too! Highly recommend this place

EVERYDAY has 50% discount on SOME items.
It's not known which items in advance. But usually they pick 2 sticker colors.
Every price tag is on a colored sticker, & whichever items have stickers in the color of the day, gets the discount.

THU:
1/2 price EVERYTHING!

MON:
1/2 price for SENIORS (55 or older) day!

WED:
2 X stars (on reward card) for your purchases!

SUN:
75% off the colored sticker of the day (instead of the usual 50%)

Ask for a reward card for the chance to enter a raffle for $100 gift card.
For each $20 or more spent, you get 1* star. After something like 10*-20* stars, you get a 50% off coupon, and a ticket to enter a raffle for a $100 store gift card!
No idea when or how often the raffle takes place!!

Staff is very friendly :-)

Purchase proceeds go to cerebral palsy.

Donations welcome M-SA.
Household & clothing, upon approval from donation staff.

Some really great finds and really good prices.

50% off every Thursday?? Done. This place is a lifesaver. Good selection, great prices, and each employee was polite and focused. My only regret is not coming here years ago.

Love this store! They have always have amazing prices plus lots of sales (my personal favorite is 50% off for students on Tuesdays). They have a great selection of items that are constantly being restocked. The staff members are super friendly and helpful. I really recommend going here, it's definitely a staple of the Santa Cruz community.

I love thrift center, it's a great little store. It's well run, fairly priced, and they have sales and discounts every single day of the week and you can get a stamp card for an extra 20% off when you fill it up after a certain number of purchases
Definitely go here if you like thrifting!

The only affordable thrift in the area. I’ve gotten a lot of my favorite clothes here for $2-5 from going on the 50% off days.

No dressing room but they let you try on in store, so I recommend wearing clothes that you can try on over

This place is awesome if you're looking for electronics, books, or furniture. Prices are VERY VERY fair, and they usually get tons of good stuff very often. Clothes I haven't had much success with but I rarely go for clothes.

As a benefit since they've moved parking is very, very easy as opposed to their old location downtown that was nigh impossible to park at.

One of the best thrift stores in the area.

The new setup inside is even better than it was before. They always have such great quality second hand clothes. I could literally spend an entire day browsing their selection. All the staff are super friendly and always helpful if I need a second opinion! Haha. One sad thing.... No dressing room. Not a deal breaker for me, but I know some people might be thrown off by it. It doesnt matter because their selection and prices make up for it!

This place is one of my favorite thrift stores! They have 50% days and coupons! Some days I find so many good things.

This is one of the best thrift stores in Santa Cruz if not the best. So much vintage clothing, so much great modern clothes, the prices are right. The new location on Water is much easier to navigate and has so much more on the floor compared to the other smaller location. Worth the visit.

Lots of clothes and lots of shoes, which I like. They have some furniture, depending on donations, and other odds and ends. The exciting part is that Thursdays they have 2 colors at 50 percent off and Sundays they have a color at 99 CENTS. Anything with that color is 99cents, no matter what it is.

Never sure what they'll have on a given day, but I always find jeans in my size. Dishes, appliances lp records, books, picture frames, electronics, shoes.
It's almost Halloween!

This store has been a favorite thrift shop of mine since it was located on Front Street and was known as the Front Street Thrift. The newer, larger location gives you the ability to mingle through thousands of used items. I almost always find something to buy, even when I say to myself that I won't. Best thing is, the majority of the time, you will never pay the full tag price. Prices fluctuate, but you can almost always guarantee around 50% off.

Lots of great clothes for good prices. There's also a 50% student discount on Tuesdays which made everything dirt cheap. Bring your student ID.

Great thrift store. You have to be willing to winnow thru everything, but there are treasures to be found. Their turnover rate is very fast, so there's always new stock, and the half-price days are worth waiting for.
