I'm not sure what the bad reviews about prices are all about. I have visited most thrift stores in the area and I would say they just fall slightly on the higher end, but not by much.
However, the quality of items here, especially furniture is way above average. Very nice couches, dressers, other furniture. Really good selection of clothing and coats. Beautiful artwork and other nick-nacks for home decor.
Remember, all proceeds generated from UGM Thrift, auto, and other ventures go directly into their mission of helping the homeless and providing resources towards helping men, women, and children better themselves. Salaries have to be paid, rent and utilities need to be paid, some food items that don't get donated on a regular basis need to be bought, etc.
On top of it all, the staff at this location are very friendly and helpful.
As a current resident of UGM Men's mission transitioning back into housing, I applaud what this organization does for the community. Please keep all this in mind before writing negative reviews, they need all the financial support they can get. The prices are NOT outrageous.
