You never know what you will find here, but you will always find helpful volunteers, clean merchandise that is well priced, and a genuine hello!

A friend of mine who volunteers her time with the Assistance League of Arcadia at the Bargain Box told me to check it out and so glad I did... 5 stars!!!!! If you are a fan of the Huntington Collection in Pasadena, you'll be sure to love the Bargain Box. Just like the Huntington Collection, I can't call it a thrift shop since it's not like any thrift shops I've been to! Looks more like an expensive antique shop when you step inside. I was blown away by the quality of the available merchandise, especially the housewares and decor. It's very evident that all of the pieces on sale were meticulously cleaned and staged by the hardworking staff. All of the furniture and housewares are excellent condition, not to mention very well priced. Make a point to visit before Halloween! The store is all decked out with Halloween decor! The Bargain Box is managed by the Assistance League of Arcadia, and one of their worthy endeavors is Operation School Bell, which provides much needed clothing as well as school supplies such as backpacks and books to children in need in neighboring local schools. There's a small parking lot but there should be plenty of street parking available if needed. Also, be aware that the store has limited hours since it's managed by volunteers. It's only open two days a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 10am to 1pm.

Not your typical thrift store. It always has unique items. Staffed by volunteers. The money generated goes to philanthropic programs throughout the San Gabriel Valley.

The best thrift store EVER! High end quality items for such an amazing bargain! The store ALWAYS looks amazing the way it is decorated, and so many new treasures on display weekly! If you've never been to the Bargain Box in Arcadia, you're missing out! You need to hurry up and get down there if you want to find unique treasures!

Great store, great price! Staff is very friendly and helpful. My only gripe is the clothes are not organized by size. But their prices are great!

Place is all but clean and well organized. It would be better if the clothes was racked by size not color. Also, the cashier/check out process is not effective or efficient.

In over 15 years, it was very rarely open. No predictability of hours. The merchandise and prices were good, though.

Seriously. As long as you have the patience and the tenacity, you are going to walk out of there with so much cool stuff. But just remember, there is digging involved.

The kindest, most helpful people you can imagine. Three different people assisted me to drop off donations, with care and friendliness. Felt safe in these times and thankful to have people like this to support. I will be back.

Literally the past 5 times I've tried to come here they've been closed. Go to the one in la canada.

$260 for a watch at a thrift store is too expensive lol. Seems like they are basing their prices off of eBay ... but not even sold Ebay items. Seriously insane prices here. Unless you want to basically pay retail save yourself the trip

Non-profit thrift store staffed by local volunteers giving their gift of time. How wonderful is that? I donate my castoffs here - I give items that are in good, usually excellent condition that is salable. Every time I ring the bell to give my donations, I'm always greeted by friendly women. Please note what items are acceptable to spare the volunteers their precious time. As far as buying anything from here, I haven't really seen anything except for a box of re-marks puzzle of a Parisian alley that was $2. Other than that, nothing has caught my eye in years. I have to say though that they're very organized and clean and the prices are much better than Savers up the street. Come here and explore. They get a lot of quality goods from the area. I like that they cherry pick what to sell for a purpose and not just sell anything they can for the money. All of the proceeds from the sales go toward the assistance league of SGV and not in someone else's pocket.
