"Thus to be my favorite local thrift shop. Now the staff is rarely friendly, and the prices are very inflated. They no longer have Christian prayers and holy cards at the entrance. Occasionally they have a small box or two of free bakery items to pick through, but I’ve noticed bugs in there several times. So disappointing for a Christian based organization."

"I have been coming here for years, not sure what's changed but suddenly it's super expensive. The lady they have as the pricer isn't very friendly and doesn't know how to look up comps for prices. They now have copies of Ebay listings taped to items trying to justify their high prices. That's not how to price items and it usually drives many buyers, such as myself, away. You have to go by SOLD listings. Anyone can price an item for sale at any price, doesn't mean it will sell for that price. Sold listing is how you find true market value. I hope they figure it out, it was one of my favorite thrift spots in Escondido and sadly, I don't think I will be going back any time soon."

"I used to love this store. Earlier this year they got a new manager. The whole vibe has changed since she took over. Today I went there to shop and donate. Usually the donation area has people to help you. Not today. The whole area was a mess. The prices are ridiculous. Small White Christmas tree 2 to 3 feet, $15. You could buy a new one for that price. What a shame!"

"I will always come to this place, I walked in with my baby in her stroller and I was told no strollers allowed, the ladies asked me to leave my baby by the door and they will keep an eye on her, who does that? I've never had a problem walking in a store with my stroller. Never coming back I felt bad. First time mom hopefully nowhere else they ask me to do this."
