Hodgepodge Thrift Store - San Rafael

"Some of my favorite items I own are from this place! Super nice staff and great prices. If you enjoy thrifting, this is a MUST-GO!"

"nice selection of homegoods and we snagged a 50% off sale on many items we needed"

"I have been a fan of thrift stores since first started buying my own clothes. Something I've learned is that it's best to shop at thrift stores in communities that are more affluent than neighborhood's that have less money. This afternoon we stopped by San Rafael (an affluent area) to pick up some lunch. My partner pointed to a thrift store that was across the street from the restaurant, and said, "there's a good thrift store," (he had passed it by before, and noted that it probably had some really good stuff. That store was Hodgepodge, and he was correct. They have really nice items, that they sell for very reasonable prices. The volunteers there know how to create beautiful displays, too. I was looking for a pair of bell bottom pants, but couldn't find any--darn. I also had to promise myself that I wasn't going to buy anything besides bellbottoms (because my house is already FULL). I LOVE this thrift store!!! They offer really nice items (some very unique) for reasonable prices. The staff was both friendly and helpful. And the proceeds go to help with hospice care in Marin County."

"This is a very clean, well run, well kept thrift store for a good cause. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the employees and the merchandise offerings. Changing discounts offerings keep me checking in regularly. Examples in last two years: vintage cast-iron (Wagner #10) pan in very good condition for $20. This sells for $100 plus online. Bought a vintage solid mahogany/teak 4 drawer desk for $120, needed refinishing but is now beautiful !! Half dozen same size/owner unworn 100% cotton button down dress shirts for $12 each."

"Quality stock and I find something I "need" on every visit. Can't understand complaints about high prices. Goodwill is comparable and salvation army is higher, but neither of those have the quality if goods. It's a good thing traffic and parking dissuade me from too many trips or I'd be bringing stuff home every other day."
