St. Vinnie's - Albany Thrift Store - Albany, Oregon

St. Vinny's has a great selection of discounted items. The store is quite dusty and old smell fills the air, which some can be sensitive to being in for more than just a little while. I've found many of my favorite clothing here. I also found a formal dress for only $4, and ya can't beat that! I red gown, worn to my husband's military banquet. It fit well and didn't break the budget . I don't like paying over ten dollars for clothes, so this is one of my go-tos for thrifting. I recently scored this Grateful Dead ™️ ☆Halloween☆ edition top and black, cropped blouse with flower fringe. Just a few dollars!

Got double charged for a 30 dollar item and didn't realize until I got home. Called in expecting a quick fix. The said I have to drive back it there. 30 minutes one way. Great costumer service.

The staff pretty much jumped on me as I entered the store telling me I had to "leave my bag at the door" & that they "arent responsible" for damage or theft. It was my purse and I'm not going into a thrift store to steal stuff that was donated.
Prices aren't bad on some items.
Store was clean.
Shuffling of Christmas things was crazy though.
Staff needs to be a little more organized also... shouting across the store at each other didn't seem like it's a friendly environment either.

The two women who were working cashier today, April 4th, late afternoon, were EXTREMELY rude!! I complained to the manager, but I'm not sure anything will be done about it. Beware of rude employees!!

I see what the community donates. It's nice stuff. When you shop in the store you get bottom of the barrel items. Where did all those nice donations go to?

Large selection of used furniture. Prices range from decently good to grossly overpriced. I do not recommend purchasing large appliances here. Bought a home with no appliances and purchased refrigerator and electric range here, each being just under $350. No major issue with refrigerator, although the dryer sheets left inside made it smell weird for a while even after cleaning. The range didn't work, and would've returned if they hadn't provided then taken back my 90 day warranty card during loading. The unit was loaded on it's side, which isn't unusual. The only communication we had about the warranty being void was the refrigerator specifically it were to be turned on it's side (which makes sense) and we communicated coming back at a later date with another vehicle for this. Wasn't thrilled after paying and beginning to load into vehicle to learn this would apply to range too, and should have returned then. The stove top worked, but to get oven working we spent $180 in new parts and fixed ourselves. Could have bought a new unit for the total cost spent. Lesson learned. Should be policy to check larger and more expensive items for working condition prior to pricing and selling to the community and all conditions should be made clear prior to purchase.

I would skip this thrift store. The prices are ridiculous for donated, used clothing items! Couldn’t even find anything I liked, I will not be going back.

OMG!!!

This thrift store is out of control on pricing. Dont waste your time. What they have is more expensive then actual shopping at the mall. Skip this one…
