“Lots of tools and lots of garbage. Its worth sorting through if you have the time. Clothes are bottom bin so I rarely find anything worth buying in that section.”

841 E Main St, El Cajon“Quality Thrift is definitely more of an antique store rather than a thrift store. So if it’s really interesting antiques and vintage that you’re looking for, be sure to check out this store!”
“Penny is the sweet blonde gal who has run this shop for at least the last decade. I have come here at least that long. It is one of my Thrifting Honey-Holes. I always find something here, especially women's clothing. It's very nice to come to here and get a nice little pick-me-up sometimes for a good deal. I like their prices. I am glad they have the 50% off sales they do, thanks guys. Good people run this store.”

1130 E Main St, El Cajon“This classic old-fashioned thrift store that doesn't put on any airs,
yet it is always clean, safe, and pleasant to shop in.
Furnitre and kitchenware options are usually pretty great here.
Clothing is plenty and well priced, too.
There are always TVs and some kind of big exercise equipment, too.
If you are out thrift shopping in El Cajon, this is a GREAT place to drop in on!”
“So this might not be the biggest Goodwill but staff is friendly and it's not overpriced (like the Goodwill in Santee for example.) I found a few things so it was a good thrift day!”

2325 Fletcher Pkwy, El Cajon“I love this thrift store. The prices are some of the best of all the thrift stores around. A huge selection to choose from also. They offer discounts based on the colors of the week. The staff is very friendly. I'll be back soon.”
“After a couple times playing pickleball at Lindo Lake park in Lakeside, the good folks told me I could get free lessons at Red Shield, El Cajon. The place is new is clean! I remember it being built just a few years ago but didn't know it was a recreation center. Signing up was easy, and was promptly instructed to do practice drills. Within 15 minutes, I was playing doubles with other newbies. Then was told to go to the middle court to learn next level instructions. I learned a lot today from the three instructors and met friendly people too! Excited to keep advancing so I signed up for next Thursday's lesson.”
