However this place got 4.5 stars is beyond me. You can find some great stuff here, but you better be prepared to fight for it and stay at least a few hours. Its more like social experiment gone…

Ok, I've never shopped here but while I was out running errands last weekend with the ZipCar I decided to drop off the 4 bags of clothes that had been sitting in my hallway for god knows how long. I…

3.5 is probably what I would award if I could. This is probably one of the messiest, most cramped and crowded thrift stores I know. It's a place where you really have to dig. But if that's the thrift…

The key here: come in with a plan. I could easily spend 2, 3, or 4 hours here. I often come through and just look through the incoming clothes and the books, which can take 45 minutes on its own.…

It's two floors. They have a lot of shit... everywhere. But, it's a good cause and I was more than happy to help my friend clean out her closets and take 12 bags to donate. The man collecting the…

I've been lucky here, but other days not so lucky. Every now and then someone throws away a perfectly great shirt from the gap, banana republic or even express. Sometimes with the original tags...…

I wasn't aware that your RACE DETERMINES the PRICE. I had asked a man at the register the price on something. He turned to what would be a manager and asked her. She replied, "who is it for?" Glanced…

I've had good days, but more bad days here. Really hit or miss. A lot of the stuff here is broken, chipped, etc. The prices are very inconsistent also. They sell a lot of stuff from target here…

One of the better thrift stores located in central Chicago. Since the surrounding area is pretty bourgeois, people donate some quality goods. A friend comes to this particular location just to load up…

This place is great. But that greatness comes with a warning: it takes a second or third look, understanding and patience to be great. This is a thrift store, and not an organized one at that. If you…

I give this place 5 stars for being a receptive donation center, rather than a place where the employees are annoyed to take your donations (like the Unique Thrift on Archer). I always get assistance…

haha, fun. I've found Kenneth Cole boots, Diesel jeans, hand knit sweaters, awesome vintage belts, and weird knick knacks here. It's dirty, so beware if you have allergies like I do. All in all, it's…

Oooo, this is just one of those places. Bring snacks, and your thick skin, it'll take awhile. It's crowded, unorganized...but if you dig, you shall come up a winner, most definitely.

I went to the Clybourn store which stays open until 9-9:30pm. The location is not great for those without a car, unless you live in the area, since at least one CTA transfer is required. It is also tucked away...

I have only donated here, but I've donated lots of things and I've never had any problems. Scratch that . . . I've had only one problem. I always scrape the underside of my car pulling into the…

I have to admit it...I am a thrift store junkie! Just don't tell my boyfriend that you know this about me. It kills him. That said, this is one of my favorite and most frequently visited thrift stores.…

My favorite salvation army store. It's of course hit or miss, but good finds are indeed possible. People make tons of donations here (usually at least one or two cars waiting to unload "junk" in the…

Aside from being stuffed to the gills with some really nasty garbage, I have found Custo, Christian Dior, and even Versace in this Salvation Army, probably because of its proximity to Lincoln Park.…

Being thrift-store savvy, I visited the Salvation Army to purchase a metal bed frame. When I arrived, there were dozens stacked outside, but a man working the lot said I had to go inside to purchase a…

Lots of great finds at this location. You're getting items donated by locals so their salvage items could be your diamonds in the rough. I picked up a butcher block kitchen island from Crate & Barrell…

This isn't one of my regular thrifts but it's good on occasion. I've found some great stuff like the sunglasses in my profile pic ($1) and my favorite animatronic T. Rex. The clothes can be hit or…

As Salvation Army stores go, I have to say this one is probably one of the best. It is centrally located in the city. They have a good amount of parking. The staff is fairly helpful and of course…

This location takes in a LOT of the donated items, so they often have some good stuff. However, it is also often crowded and messy. Another inconvenience is that it is on 2 floors, and the stairs to…
