3220 E Anaheim St Unit 3240, Long Beach“Yes, they have a clean and well presented store. Yes, they have a great staff, many of whom are in their program.Yes, they have great otems at great prices.But the best review is that we had Beacon House pick up at an apartment this last week that was vacated. The team that showed up wasn't just nice, efficient, and hard working. They were great ambassadors of what not only what Beacon House does for the community but what they do for their clientele. To be able to hear how Beacon House had changed their lives was heartwarming. I had to engage them with this conversation to hear about their program. It wasn't any type of planned "pitch" about Beacon House. The comments from the drivers were heartfelt and sincere.Please donate items to them, buy from their store, and/or donate cash.This program is working and we need to support them.”
“Love this place so much. 3 tag discounts plus discounts on the weekend please don’t ever change that! One of the few thrift shops that don’t price gouge you. Plus it’s for a good cause!”
“Olga and her husband are great people I've been customer sinced I moved to Wilmington they been fair and loving caring professional customers service I recommend them to everyone who likes quality in merchandise antiques and basically good service”
“Great way to clean out your closets for some$ and do good for the people in Costa Rica. Owner was very friendly and process took no time at all. Forklift driver was a hoot! Nice guy! Overall good experience.”
“I don't know why I have not shopped here more often. This is probably the cleanest thrift store I've personally ever been in, right down to the fact that it doesn't even "smell" like a thrift store. They do not accept clothes that smell, and they may wash garments before putting them on the rack. Sure enough, all of my new-to-me blouses smell like they've been laundered. And, of course, great prices for lightly used clothing--much of it name-brand. Also, the staff is the BEST! Super friendly, and they will ask you if you need any help. Indeed, all the staff were engaged in conversations with customers and they all looked happy to be there. When I happened to mention to one of them that I was shopping for clothes for a new job, she was curious enough to ask me where, and we had a nice chat. I'm not much of a shopper but I will make sure to go back to the Assistance League whenever I need more clothing.”
“First off the place had Very fair prices, the elderly man working there was super kind and understanding. Had lots of varieties when it came to items and clothing. I will be back!”
“We went there yesterday, and it was fantastic. The gentleman who was working at the time was very helpful and overall awesome to talk to! The collection of “Junk” in the store Made me feel like a kidney candy store! If we come back to Redondo Beach from Wisconsin we will definitely be back!!”
“I have to say this because is the truth. This shop is like none other. The employees are friendly, they talk to everyone and they like to make you feel appreciated. The merchandise is tops and the prices , spectacular! They have sales every day. You can get 2 huge plastic bags full of brand, semi used and new clothes for less then 50.00.
So if you are in town visiting or on vacation, stop by and see it for your self.
Compare to other thrift shops in the surrounding areas "OUT OF THE CLOSET TAKES THE GRAMMY".....”
“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.”
“This place has a great Lil food bank for peeps in need of food. Emergency food available! You call and they put on the list with a day/time. You bring a few $$ for donation, & then they give you a huge box of food! Wonderful”
“Very well organized, by colors, size, and pieces. The racks feel waxed and make it very easy to go through and see each piece (plus no metal screeching). It’s nice to see the brand transparency, which are visibly labeled on the price tags. There are some cool finds if you look thoroughly, but be prepared to see a LOT of low quality fast fashion brands like Shein and Cider. Overall worth a visit!”
“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.”
“Really enjoy it today!! They have a live musical groups..like gupo Miramar was there today ..Banda groups.for the next 3 Sundays !! You need to check this place out! Great food .beer.etc.must go!”
“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.”

“Nice thrift store in San Pedro. Very clean and organized. They have AC too! Very important on 95F heat. Run by volunteers. Some of them were teenagers. Everyone was so nice and friendly and very knowledgeable. And the price was amazing! Even less than Goodwill. We found some cute stuff here!”
“Very reasonable prices for a lot of home goods, clothing and books. I scored two lovely vintage necklaces and a gold braided belt. The employees are very friendly and go out of their way to help.”

18600 Crenshaw Blvd, Torrance“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.”

1232 N Blinn Ave, Wilmington“I love this place ! It’s my go to for tools and odd stuff for my art , they have it all and the family that runs it are the nicest you’ll meet. Kika’s daughter runs the business now I believe and does a great job of keeping the store full and orderly yet still gives the feeling of a treasure hunt! Stop by if your ever out that way or at the Pick a parts ! Everything is always 1/2 off the listed price!!!!”
“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.”
“This is a fun thrift store located on Narbonne Avenue just a short distance off of Lomita Boulevard. When you walk into this shop you will be overwhelmed with all kinds of items. They really have a lot of stuff. One of the main things about this shop is that the prices are not very high. Whereas some independent thrift stores tend to put a high dollar amount on their items, this is not the case with this shop. Thus, you can discover some really interesting and unique finds and not have to pay an exorbitant price for them. As can be expected, the shop has a wide variety of items. They have jewelry, books, electronics, clothing, you name it. You never know what you'll find here, and it is always evolving. In terms of parking, there's a lot of street parking in the area, so getting a spot should never be an issue. Overall, if you're in the area, this is a great store to come in and take a look, you never know what you'll find.”

24911 Western Ave, Lomita“Sure is great having a lot of many different kinds of items to pick from. Thank goodness the prices are higher than some people expect to pay 'cause I can swoop in and buy it when they do not. I worked in a thrift store and loved my job. They sure are super nice and smart workers here. I will be donating again real soon.”

13245 Hawthorne Blvd, Hawthorne“This is probably my new favorite thrift store in the South Bay area now. I called the Goodwill corporate number because I had a complaint about an incident at the Redondo Beach location, but it turns out, not all Goodwill stores are in the same region. I HAD NO IDEA!! Jose at corporate provided me with the Redondo Beach location's corporate number and explained to me that the Hawthorne location falls under southern California. I decided to stop by the Hawthorne store and was really impressed! I found some great pieces from some well known brands. A manager by the name of David was super helpful and explained to me the color of the week. I will for sure keep shopping at the Hawthorne location. Thank you!!!!”
“The ladies who work here were absolute gems and really nice! The place is well-kept unlike most thrift stores I've been to, and the prices are so good it's hard to leave without a basket full of clothes. Definitely our new go-to place for thrifting”
“I was there a few days ago, the Halloween decoration is really nice. It looks like there was a lot of time spent on the store decoration and it really draws you in the store. Overall, I always have a pleasant experience visiting this goodwill.”
