I'm revising my older review, dropping 2 stars. This used to be a favorite stop to look for clothing, crafting and holiday finds. The prices on clothing has gotten outrageously high. Many articles are damaged, and unless you examine every piece carefully, you will come home with unreturnable sweaters, etc. with holes, tears and runs. Whoever checks clothes as they come in is doing the organization a disservice.
Christmas items are priced ridiculously high for donated - they get them free - items. I resisted getting into an argument over whether Christmas pütz horses were Christmas items and therefore on sale or not. There are no bargains. They are trying to compete with eBay. And if you're looking to resell items, you'll have to hunt. I've spent a lot of money at the Collegeville store. I think it's a good cause, but after seeing quality go down and prices rise, I'm done shopping here.
