Thrift Stores near Springfield, VA

“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.”

“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.”

“This is a new thrifting spot for me and I’m so glad! There’s a wonderful selection and the store is very spacious. There’s also free parking in the lot, which is a huge plus.”

“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!”

“Growing up very poor these type organizations, especially Catholic Charities, came to our aid and even supplied holiday dinners many times. Because of them we even had presents. So I try and support those who actually support others, not just take your donations for their own profits (like some others...GW). The nice ladies took my donations with a smile and thanked me. They did turn away a few items that were not appropriate for their facilities but that was understandable. The store was clean and looked like a place I'd love to stroll through when I had some more time. Would recommend.”

“The volunteers are so sweet and helpful. There are so many treasures to be found. Everything I purchased was lovely. I was so impressed I decided to become a volunteer in the store.”

“Great deals, great volunteers. The prices are more than fair and the volunteers strongly care about raising money for the hospital, and are friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to. There's a great selection clothes in good to new condition.One suggestion: I bought two t-shirts and realized the tag gun tore noticable holes in both of them after I got home. Perhaps using a gun with a smaller needle, or tagging at a seam would avoid this. I was able to sew the holes, but it's a shame they were damaged by the store's pricing processes.”

“For those saying the clothes are for older people, well, I'm about to donate all my young people clothes there! Lol have fun!They are mostly nice people working here, but only once they notice I'm donating. Before that, I don't get a very warm welcome. For a small business to stay strong, that stuff matters. Oh well, I know people can be kind, even if they aren't nice. I still donate.”

“St. Alban's Opportunity Shop is a true gem in the community. With its recent reopening, it continues its legacy of providing quality goods at affordable prices since 1955. The shop's commitment to supporting those in need is commendable, and I am proud to contribute to their cause. The weekly shopping hours are convenient, and the friendly staff always makes my visit enjoyable. Whether I'm looking for clothing, household items, or unique treasures, the Op Shop never disappoints. It's heartwarming to know that my purchases go towards helping the community. I highly recommend paying a visit to this wonderful thrift store.”

“I had no place to 2 grandkids and 2 children of my own butIt was a man's shelter they took care of us thank you Christ house family because of u we are all well. And will give back.”

“this is my all-time FAVORITE thrift store. I love the how friendly the volunteer staff are, I love supporting the community, and I swear I find the BEST items in this shop.”

“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!”

“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 couldn’t find any clothes for myself but there were definitely some really interesting pieces! The majority of the clothes weren’t for me though, and I’d say their pants section is lackluster. However! There’s not a huge selection, but there is a nice variety. I LOVE their collection of prints, paintings, and vintage postcards. They also had really fancy dishes if you’re looking for plates, cups, and bowls. The staff are also really nice. Would definitely go again if it wasn’t so far.”

“This is a small store that always impresses me with the high quality of clothing available. Most of their clothing is priced at either 3/$10 or 3/$20, and are sorted by price and type on the racks; these garments don't have price tags, which avoids the holes often created by other thrift stores. Shoes, coats, accessories and some boutique items are priced a bit higher than most other thrift stores, but the quality and condition tend to be higher also. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The Latin music is cheerful and upbeat, not too loud. The store is clean and well-organized. A hidden gem in Woodbridge that has rapidly become my favorite thrift store.”

“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.”

“Absolutely wonderful service and I found so many stunning glassware. I came in with no expectations but left with a cart full of boxes. I love this store and the prices are very reasonable.”

“Big sale right now. Open on some saturdays too. The staff are very friendly and stop to help you find what you are looking for. The building is very large but all items are VERY WELL organized on racks and shelves.”

“I have only had positive experiences here. The volunteers who've helped me have been lovely, interesting women. The inventory is pretty incredible, mostly jewelry and home wears. Many things will be listed well under market. To me, it's been a treasure and hope others have good experiences, too.”

“I love this GW. It is truly one of the best in the area. It's always so clean and actually has a great selection of pre-loved items. Highly recommend stopping here if you're looking to find some affordable gems.”

“Wonderful Charity to help raise funds to Prevent Blindness. We donate many items to good use here feels great to reduce clutter. They take small furniture jewelry mirrors dishes platter’s antiques household goods clothes. Repurpose Second hand is a win win for those that want to reduce trash & help the poor w/o $ or insurance. They always need men’s clothes - high demand.”

“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”

“Huge location. Some of every thing seems to always be available. Affordable, thrift store prices - on very usable items and clothing. I always appreciate a good thrift store, and this one qualifies!”

“Good prices, usually has fun finds, large store to peruse through. Cons- terrible checkout system and usually a huge line because they don’t have enough cashiers. They have self checkout but it actually takes longer bc of here’s usually some issue you have to wait for help with. Some of their items need a good cleaning before you use them- they aren’t that selective with that. Prices are randomly assigned sometimes and you can find the same item with multiple prices (like any thrift store). Bring your own bag- they charge for them.”

“Wonderfully organized Store with easy and efficient donation center, very helpful and efficient staff. Easy receipt for donation if helpful. Very easy and pleasant experience ‼️?‼️”

“This is my favorite Goodwill in the the area. I find that items are more affordably priced here compared to the the Goodwills in Falls Church and Arlington. There are only few items behind the counter so even brand name items are on the floor without any special pricing. I have found Yeezys, Vejas and other high quality shoes for less than $20. Books also have a standard price $0.99 for soft covers and $1.99 for hardcovers. Furniture here is also extremely affordable. I have seen a sectional prices at $30. Can't beat it! Unfortunately I often see resellers here who hoard items into carts and pick at bins before the are put out. The store should definitely regulate this”

“I loved my experience here. Everyone was helpful. Vast selection of everything! And I walked away with a great deal. To all of my fellow Thrifters, if you know how to thrift, this right here is a godsend.”

“This is THE place to buy furniture!! You have to be patient and go often to find exactly what you’re looking for but eventually it will come and you can scoop it up for a reasonable price. I’ve been shopping here for 30 years and I always walk away with a treasure!!”
