Another thrift store that cherry-pick all the good stuff in the back.

Gone down hill over the years. Hardly any discounts anymore. Prices are through the roof. No problem asking almost retail for things they get for free.

I love the store as well as employees and although some might think the prices are high and all is donated; I would like to remind people that although it is a thrift store they make no profit. 100% of sales go back into the community and the city mission. Try volunteering there at the mission and researching before passing judgment!!! THAT'S GOD'S JOB! HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

Some of the worst prices I've ever seen in a thrift store. All your items are given to you for free, why are you trying to bleed your customers for extra profit? Aren't thrift stores supposed to be nonprofit?

Do not buy here. I bought a baseball bat here yesterday for my son so he could use on his team. Coming to find out that it's illegal to use. They are rude and refused to return or exchange it. This place has no heart. These people call themselves people of God as if they do good deeds for others. They just care about themselves and no care for the community. Beware of shopping here. They will trump you.

Love this shop. Always very good merchandise. It's set up and staged well. The ladies who run it, personable and helpful. At very least you can get it a great book super inexpensively.

I used to love this store but over the last few months the prices have been jacked up to ridiculous prices. Not only that but they changed the discounts so now there are only 2 color tags on sale instead of 3 like there used to be. I have seen many items that are priced HIGHER than you can get them brand new in a retail store. I understand that costs are rising for overhead items like rent and utilities but it feels like you are taking advantage of inflation when you get all of your inventory for free. Get your prices back in line for a thrift store selling used items and you will sell more.

I usually donate here, rather than other places because I like what they do for the community. I enjoy shopping here, they always have quite the selection. The store is nice, clean & set up nicely. However, one time we stopped 20-25 mins before they closed, looking for 2 items in particular. The women behind the counter looked irritated because we were there. After only being there for 5 mins, one of the women came across the loud speaker saying they are closing in 5 mins. When they announced they were now closed & hurrying us out the door, they shouldve been opened for another 12 minutes! I just found it very rude for one and two, doesn't seem like they were concerned about making any $ when they are pushing paying customers out the door before closing time.

Tactless Donations Manager: no greeting and extremely short; walked away abruptly, without a care. Donated to this location many times before without a problem. Felt mistreated enough to report this. He was young and has an arm full of tattoos. First time encountering him.

The Erie City Mission Thrifty Shopper has got to be the nicest, cleanest, best prices and selection thrift store in the Erie area and beyond. It has everything you'd expect to find in a thrift store except all their stuff is really nice or brand new! And the staff is most welcoming and friendly, and is always ready to help you out. If you've never been there.. you might just be surprised, because when you go you never know what you may find. Great experience every time. Highly recommended. 10 out of 5☆'s!!!
