Thrift Stores near Lorton, VA

“I have received the best services at this facility starting from the emergency financial assistance department down to the food distribution department. All the people that work at this facility are very helpful, kind and very considerate. All the people that work at this facility also walk that extra mile to give you all the help that you need at the time. Thanks for all that you do for me! God bless!”

“An absolute lovely gem in our community. They always have stuff that make my visits worthwhile. The employees are kind and helpful. I love their rotating discounts!”

“Prime time has great merchandise and a lot of it.
The staff is very helpful.
It is also quite clean considering the amount of foot traffic it has.
It's conveniently located, being immediately off Richmond Hwy.
There is a different sale every day of the week.
Some thrift shops put on the floor all the items they receive, so buyers need to thoroughly examine merchandise. I have never found the need to do this with purchases from Prime Time. Lastly, the profits help the veterans, who protect us.”

“small & homey feeling store, comfortably and wide selection of clothes and houseware, incredible cost to value. the wonderful ladies volunteering are eager to assist, as well to compliment your new fit.”

“This is one of the most upscale and most expensive thrift stores I ever went to on a military base & in general. The staff is one of the most professional and knowledgeable in customer etiquette and in organizational & pricing skills. They are very thorough in curating & displaying high quality items, researching the items displayed, and placing a fair price on items sold. Some of the items are priced at what may seem outrageously expensive yet it is not. Mint condition or well known high quality items are priced at 50% (most of the time) of their selling price online used or new ( at this thrift store’s highest amount price). I found an elegant Mikasa bowl for $8 there that seemed over priced, yet it is selling for $60 online used and a discontinued style.If you want dirt cheap and super low prices, you are better off going to a yard sale, typical thrift store, gimme a five, or general dollar store for a bargain or steal if you want items at a low price. If you are looking to resell items for profit, I would NOT recommend this place as well. According to my experience, the most superb deals and low priced items sold here are usually low key high quality luxury brands and not desired or well known by the general public.Once in a blue moon, you will find rare and spectacular items at a stellar price; even though, you might not realize it until you research or know the item’s worth. I have purchased a vintage Rolex brand leather - brand new wallet with fine detailed & metal engraved hardware for only $4 there. I just bought it because it was red, real leather, and well made. I also found a low key yet high quality British luxury brand - new leather - wallet for $3.75 there too. Retro style curvy wood bar chairs for $35 each - was one of my most desirable finds here. I couldn’t find the exact chair online because it might be vintage or no longer manufactured. The closest duplicate to it was priced at $244 a chair and had an unattractive cut out design on the chair back.Their book selection is always amazing and always have a buy two books & get one free deal. I always find the best giant coffee table photography books there and fascinating books. Another rare yet wonderful find here is vintage vinyl records in mint condition for $1 each.It took me a long time to write a review for this store, because I didn’t think it was like your usual thrift store. It seemed that most of the items I was drawn to were consignment boutique or antique store prices - not at my price range except for the books and certain items. I realized this thrift store excels in customer service and had a lot of hidden gems & high quality items in the end that people usually disregard.”

“This thrift store is set up right now for the holidays. They have a large amount of clothing,glass wear, tvs and some awesome furniture.They run specials different times and do offer senior day during the week. The check out line moves good from cash or card. Happy Shopping”

“Found some of the best items I have discovered at a thrift store here. I love that all the items are standard priced which is fair to the community and also people who thrift as a hobby. Overall the staff were great and it was easy to navigate the store. Definitely worth a visit!”

“They have a wide variety of clothing and household items. There is a big collection of pet supplies, lots of harnesses and collars plus small animal supplies. Prices are either on the item or listed on a sheet at the entrance of each room.”

“I really enjoy perusing the shelves at Acts! This isn’t one of the cheaper thrift stores I’ve been too, but the selection is good and less picked through than the larger stores.”

“What can I say... Thrifting a.k.a. recycling is the way to go. I can't tell you how many things I find that are brand new with tags & this location is no different.I went in specifically looking for some French onion soup crocks, and I found them in brand new condition $3.99 a piece whatta baaaaahhhgin!This location has a bunch and I mean a bunch of brand new with tags George Mason University spirit wear aka shirts & sweatshirts, so if that's your U then go get some gear here for dirt cheap...waaaay cheaper than the campus store!I will say I find Salvation Army, at times, a bit more expensive than Goodwill or Unique but they also have a different selection so you just need to dig. This location also has a drive-through drop off for donations, which I utilize all the time, and they actually retrieve it from your car for you which is amazing. Profits are re-purposed into the programs that they support and used for the good of all concerned.”

“i'll guess i'll start with this as a story (my testimonial if you will) so i had just moved from front royal to alexandria in the fifth grade of elementary school (yeah with mrs brown with her catch phrase save the drama for your mama and in hindsight maybe learning it could be a 'sanctuary city') my parents and i were looking for some cleats for weight league football (it was the bucknell tigers i think 75lb the next up from 'ankle biters' as a offensive lineman) and i found a pair that i thought after that all my troubles would be gone (later getting my military benefits that solved basically everything) so today i have my military benefits (eg paycheck healthcare health insurance etc) and am a mostly happy worry free veteran (a huge part as a kid was mil beneficiary kids in public school guiding me to maybe a better future to hear warnings or suggestions too) maybe things like those cleats helped me get to where i am today (home owner too and a pretty good car that i have to pay off) it was actually a red pair of baseball cleats but i wore them for a few games and got my parents money's worth out of it and met a neighboring business in the process and they were warm gracious and kind and realso there's three personalities (i think those are all the 'old heads' here) i like here a korean veteran a light skinned manager and a black female cashier they're all very helpful and charming and inject style and taste to this place with good personalities and good attitudesso through the years i've had some great times here for example i remember once before i left for the army i found a awesome unisex leather jacket (it was dark red and had stitches all up the back and may have been a little like brad pitt in fight club before rethinking if that was a good movie or not) while i was rock and roll skinny (btw there were many things i saw here that i wanted that i was certain would help me i don't know if it was the kindness of charitable donors or social workers community efforts to guess but there's been times where their selection really nailed it) later when i was about to move to luray i found another leather jacket that was pretty chill um it reminded me of a picture of a newer music group i saw twice the orwellsone story was when i was on cavalier drive which is sort of a famous neighborhood in a way that's where there's some long term locals at like i think the founder of the 29 skate crew thing so i saw one family (the wife of a couple who lived really long) would regularly come here and load up with that in mind what i later thought was if it works for them it'll work for me so when i was having my awesome lively artistic days on the block (regular dc nightlife or hobbies too ergo family barbeque movies i shot) i'd come here and load up on some stuff to bring home sometimes just the novelty of it but there were times where i'd really read into it and think 'this is a great deal' 'this looks like this will actually work' 'this is really thought provoking' 'this'll probably circulate and it'll get used' 'yeah that makes sense' 'that saves me some time' 'this is better than the alternative'there could be a lot of good aspects and traits (firm prices quality goods rarities um) here that i appreciated i found some vinyl records for exampleam vets are by the fort hunt neighborhood and the newer costco i've rode my bicycle here before it's farther from outside the gate of fort belvoir it's off rt 1 it's on sherwood hall lane also it's by some section 8 housing and a church and police department too and the library is further outi've donated here before and thought that was probably rewarding too also the military style here is cool to think of that influence some korean things i really like are the barbeque another would be the celeb irwin winkler he did rocky”

“I went in specifically looking for a scriptural signage. Couldn't find that, but I found items that would look nice in my new home. I also found the nicest couple! They were an added joy to my spirit.”

“Usually decent prices and customer service. Lately, some of the employees and customers seem to just be hanging out instead of working or shopping. Prices have skyrocketed to capitalize on trendy thrifting…. I found a hat I liked that had to be marked wrong. Among 20 hats for $3.99, this one was marked $15. Asked for a price check bc mistakes happen. Waited 15 min for a manager that never showed up. Hopefully its just a low period and works itself out.”

“Not your typical thrift store. It is upscale but very well displayed and organized housewares, clothing, books, decor, etc donated by people to benefit Inova hospital.”

“I’ve always found some cool stuff whenever I’d come here. Some of the items are a bit overpriced but for the most part, I think it’s pretty reasonable. Their staff is very kind as well!”

“Gyselle the worker (idk if I spelled her name right) is so kind. Really went above and beyond to make sure my experience was 10/10. Give that girl a raise ?? So helpful, her customer service was unmatched.”

“I purchased the find of the century here, a brand new navy LoveSac sectional that had been previously used in staging. I’ve also found Afghan rugs that did require cleaning but were a very fair price and oyster plates and blue and white china and vintage tennis racquets for decor. They have a fantastic selection of furniture for someone on a budget. Today I spotted two solid wood twin four post beds from a very high end brand. They have a great selection of pre owned doors and cabinets and their mirror selection is good too. The staff and volunteers are very helpful and it’s easy to pull behind the store and have them help you load your items. They treat everyone respectfully. This store benefits a nonprofit so I like keeping items out of a landfill while helping individuals and families secure housing.”

“Cleanest thrift store I've been to, with a wide selection of clothes and pictures. The staff is also really friendly and helpful. I hope they can add more home items in the future.”

“Very wonderful place! Reasonable prices (just a few marked way too high) but a WIDE VARIETY OF ITEMS. The clothes were decent/ok but the accessories are where the gems are at!! Great place, just no fitting rooms and wished there were more mirrors.”

“Superb Salvation Army. I travel the US. All of these stores have different sale days and amounts. Not universal (comment for the woman angry it wasn’t 50% - note signs clearly state 25%)
I shop twice a month. Staff is amazing - kind - helpful - Wednesdays the place is typically packed so expect a little bit of a busy atmosphere. They are open late - fun to wind down a day to just look. Prices have creeped up but I have to accept that. Do NOT argue prices or switch tags. Just don’t. I’ve found outstanding - I mean outstanding - furniture and housewares. They seem to get truckloads of stuff so good stuff comes in and out fast. Still - takes a good eye.”

“This goodwill is very good it has very nice merchandise due to the higher class. The kids like to toss the toys on the ground yet that is just the failure of the parents. Yet the staff were quick on cleaning and organizing the message and was very nice when I found something unmarked”

“Lots to choose from here. The store is huge! Even the men’s section has the largest area I’ve seen in all of the thrift stores I’ve ever been to. Good quality merchandise can be found here such as Ralph Lauren, Nike, Adidas, Kenneth Cole etc; The only downfall is that they have closed the dressing rooms and the prices are considerably more than Goodwill. Prices fluctuate from very high to moderate to low. They have specials once in while that will give you 50% off from Friday to Sunday. Other times it will be 50% off on a certain color tag.

I’m assuming this store receives donated clothing so I don’t understand the price gouging to the consumer.”
