Thrift Stores near Bell, CA

“Its a thrift store, dont expect amazing service. although there are a couple very helpful workers most are rude. Anyway, theres a lot of good known brands. A lot of everything, well mens clothes section is like 3 double sided racks but long racks. Like aisle long racks. Womans is like 7 or 8 double sided racks! A lot of purses. A lot of childrens books. A lot of dinnerware. They do color of the day! wednesday its 3 colors on all items, saturday is all colors except 1 but only on clothes. The biggest negative (besides the rude workers) is they staple the price tag to the clothes, not on the tag or label but on the clothes. Ugh i hate that”

“Super cool and cute store! Welcoming atmosphere & they have such cute things if you like betty boop & vintage this is the spot to go! Tuesdays are the best days for the $2 rack deals as well!!”

“I have to say going there is an adventure unto itself to go in there on Friday afternoons and throw blows with the old ladies who are trying to get the deals first is an amazing amazing feat of self discipline, it would be easy to punch one of those old ladies in the jaw just for looking at you the way they do looking at you the way they do, it's downright disrespectful and I say left- left- combination- right -right -duck- and then make your way to the cash register for your discount ,it's wonderful and I recommend it!!?????”

“The staff is super friendly, and you can find good deals. I once bought a collectible there like half the price you can find else where !!It’s literally a gem !I love going there ps they accept Venmo , which has been handy for me since I tend to not care cash .I always take family when they come out of town and tell my friends cause I love this place .”

“Such an awesome and easy experience! I am now more than ever motivated to seriously purge items I'm not using!! Fast, friendly and excellent customer service!”

“Lemon Frog Shop is an absolutely wonderful vintage store, and I highly recommend checking it out for any of my fellow vintage clothing lovers!! I've found so many incredible items there, and for excellent prices (especially by LA standards haha). The store's layout makes it extremely easy to shop efficiently- everything is organized by price range, item category (tops vs bottoms vs dresses vs accessories, etc), AND size, so it's very straightforward to find what you're looking for without having to dig through everything else! (but it's also still plenty easy to just browse/see what cool pieces you find if you don't have something more specific in mind). While the store itself and all the pieces there are fantastic, the biggest reason I wanted to write this review is the owner- you can tell how much passion has gone into this store just by interacting with her. She's very knowledgeable about her pieces, extremely helpful with any questions you might have or anything you might be looking for, and just super kind/friendly/a lovely person overall! She's truly made every one of my visits to Lemon Frog so far an above and beyond experience each time, and I'm definitely looking forward to going back again soon!!!”

“If you're looking for some very nice thrift this is the place to go!They have a great blend of different decades and everything is nice quality.I found an amazing pair of shoes but they were too large by a size.Their pricing is completely fair.I'm adding to my list of mystery stop at thrift shops!”

“Walking through the crowded aisles is like walking through that warehouse at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Whether or not you are looking for something in particular, you will find something here... Actually you will find many "somethings" as this place is a cornucopia of interesting items. Mid-century modern furniture seems to be in abundance, but turn of the century cuckoo clocks, lamps, and pretty much anything else you can imagine are yours to find; Just make sure you have a few hours to actually go through the isles, this is not a place for a cursory review. Staff is great. As for value... what is the value of a treasure?”

“I love love love this place. Women owned business, she is always there giving love to her customers!! She has such an amazing eye for vintage items. I can't leave without getting something. Fell in love with a set of curtains I bought there. I keep coming back!”

“Cool lil spot to do some thrifting! It's a cozy and welcoming location to explore and find cool pieces! I have found some awesome pieces for a great price (such as genuine denim jeans for less than $10!!). I will say though *some* items, not all, can be overpriced considering the wear and tear, overall design, and "age" of the item (I guess vintage will always be upped in price anywhere lol so no biggie), regardless they still have other awesome and affordable selection :-) CANT FORGET ABOUT THE ONE AND ONLY SUNDAY! Sunday is so cute, she definitely lifts the ambiance with her presence! I love how she lets you know when she's had enough petting Awesome place to visit for sure!”

“Wonderful Thrift Shop with all kinds of very reasonable finds. Clothing to toys and knick knacks and even some jewelry and more. I believe the ladies are volunteers and they're always helpful and pleasant. You won't go out empty-handed.”

“I purchased my bedroom set from Alameda Thrift &New Furniture and let me tell you it look better in person then it look in the catalog it exceeded my expectations. I have purchased many pieces of furniture for this and I will continue to come due to the excellent service,professionalism,and the price. If you're ever in this area give this little gem a try and I bet you will be really be intrigued with all the catalogs they gavefor you to fine the perfect piece for your home.”

“I've been going to this spot to thrift for years and I gotta say that even when i don't find what I'm looking for originally, I still end up finding something I wasn't looking for at a good bargain and just as cool. You get to know the owners for a while little by little, their respect and service keeps getting exceptional. If you know how to thrift, you know there are successes and misses, but Son of a Vet is still a fun place to find whatever attracts your interest and amusement.”

“This thrift store is amazing, to put it frank. Their selection and pricing are better than almost any other thrift store I've been to. I've gotten essentially steals like a $14 CD stand worth around $200 (although in somewhat poor condition) and a place to store tapes for only $4. I've gotten mugs, ice cream makers, vinyls, books, vintage TIME magazines, you can find a lot of stuff at prices that might beat stores like Goodwill or The Salvation Army.”

“Everyone has to check out this store you'll love it .the son and father are just too nice .and very helpul.and they have the best prices on there vintage stuff.”

“This boutique is beautifully curated with lots of cute clothes (sizes varying w an equal variety from S to 3X). Great deal for clothes mostly $15 with a few priced up or down slightly. I LOVEEE that it is sustainable resale fashion & a job opportunity program. The ladies running the shop were helpful and lovely!”

“I like the weekends because they have live music and in addition to going shopping you can dance and enjoy the snacks they sell there and because you have a beer”

“Been shopping here for 11 years and have always been treated with kindness and respect. Love the prices and the random rare stuff that can be found. I joined the assistance league ( organization that runs this non profit store) right before Covid because the organizations mission to help the community and the members passion really inspired me. "White women" that work here tirelessly although they no longer live in the community really inspired me. I have read some of the few reviews that claim racism and yet never once have observed this type of service. The prices are the lowest of any thrift store in the city.”

“I love this place, there is furniture at a very good price and good quality. I visit frequently and always buy something. The employees are very attentive and help you so that you leave satisfied.”

“I’ve been wanting to go thrifting and decided to try a new shop, the ladies there are so kind and the prices are unbeatable found some lovely things there!! Will be going back (: peace and love”

“Finally a community thrift store ACTUALLY helping the community. Love the staff here and the opportunities given to those with employment challenges in a positive and nurturing way. I’ll only take my donations here and love to peak at the revolving inventory.”

“Was there on Friday, 16th June, 2023, at 5:00pm and the store was open. Entered the store of diverse antiques and collectibles. I enjoyed the variety of items available and my friend and I did make some nice fun purchases. The gentleman that helped us mentioned that they hadn't been opened much this year but were going to try to have regular week day later afternoon hours and some on the weekend. There are two phone numbers listed on Google maps. Not sure if the numbers are active or answered. We were at King Richard's Antique Mall, Whittier, CA, that Friday afternoon and this shop is just north about three blocks. Enjoy!”

“It is the best place, I have not known any better than this store, in the others they serve you reluctantly, very affordable prices...
I highly recommend it..”

“I love all the out of the closet locations so it's hard to pick a favorite but this might be it. (The weho used to be but things change, it's still my second fav) Reasoning: they have items in usually the best condition(Atwater location has the worst, most things are worn but they do get good inventory as well) & it's more lowkey here. Spacious and low lit lighting. Doesn't really get packed unless there's a sale. There's always hidden gems and I find the pricing to be fair - and they don't mark things crazily like the weho & East Hollywood ones do sometimes. Super festive during the holidays! They always decorate the store especially on Halloween and Christmas. Parking is awkward as to get here you'd have to enter through a one way street full of industrial companies with trucks taking a lot of the street parking. It's usually not a problem to find a spot however on street cleaning hours you might have to walk a bit. Overall, excellent condition items with fair pricing and friendly staff. Worth coming to!”

“I recently purchased a patio set from Habitat for Humanity which I saw posted on their FB page. I immediately ran over, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. Not only did they help me find a great deal on the set, but they also went above and beyond by assisting me in loading it into my car. They had some cute furniture pieces. Their customer service truly made my shopping experience enjoyable. I highly recommend Habitat for Humanity for their excellent service and quality products.”

“Hidden Treasures Await at Pair My Swap MeetPair My Swap Meet has become my go-to destination for an eclectic array of finds, and it never fails to deliver. From the front section brimming with discounted items, returns, and Amazon finds to the hidden gem of the back section, there's something for everyone here.The back section, particularly, holds a special charm with its second-hand market offerings. It's like embarking on a treasure hunt where you never know what gem you might unearth. From finding a missing spoon to stumbling upon a complete set of china with just one plate missing, the surprises are endless.The variety of items available is impressive - from tools and clothes to dishes and toys, Pair My Swap Meet truly has it all. Personally, one of my recurring favorites is the selection of used towels. Sold by a vendor in the back, these towels, though unsellable for uniform companies, serve us perfectly well at an incredibly low price point. They're durable enough for regular use and disposable enough to not fret over wear and tear.What sets Pair My Swap Meet apart is not just the items for sale but also the experience it offers. It's a chance to get some exercise, stroll around for a couple of hours, and immerse oneself in the thrill of discovering random treasures. Even if you don't end up purchasing anything, the experience alone is worth the visit.Pair My Swap Meet has undoubtedly earned its spot as a weekly destination for me, offering not just goods but also a sense of adventure and excitement with each visit.”

“What is going on! Amivet on South Street in Long beach, the Prices are sky high, an item is triple the price. What was $1.95 is now $3.95. NO LONGER any $,95 items. No longer the loyalty program , seniors now get a 10% discount rather than 20%. Only 1(one) color give you 50% off and there only about 10 items to choose from. Why are they asking for change donations when ALL the items were donated in the first place? Its cheaper at the $ dollar store.”

“Awesome small thrift shop. Great deals for beautiful antiques, dishes, appliances, and whole lot more of second hand items and collectibles. Employees were kind and chill and lent a hand when we needed help.Luis, the Owner of the shop helped my family out. We were looking for a hospital bed for my immobile sister and he actually had one. We told him how she became disabled, and how we had been struggling to look for a hospital bed. Luis had sympathy for us and actually offered the bed for free. Initially we denied and tried to compromise for such a resourceful item but he insisted. He told us that if we truly needed it to take it. At that point we didn't hesitate to agree. He willingly put his intent to profit to the side, and for this we could not be any more grateful. Thank you, Luis.”
