Be prepared for it to be dingy, but there are great finds! Wear tights or leggings so you can try pants and skirts on.

Salvation Army Northside Chicago – I here there are more underpaid workers in the back room of the second floor of this store. Lots of illegals or workers making under minimum wages between 7hr or 7.50hr and no union. The store rakes in millions and the directors are pocketing under the table moneys. Largely donations from corporate sponsorships are being side track to several pockets. This store is said to make 5-7million a year which is pure profit only to have it run like a third world country. The climate is that the mon... read more

excellent shop but parking lot security... – On Friday Oct. 14, 2011, between 12pm and 1:30pm, at the Salvation Army Thrift Store 2270 N Clybourn Ave, my Honda Civic was broken into in the parking lot. After leaving the lot I noticed that the coin compartment door was broken off (and taken?) and a shopping bag with with various computer cords, adapters and an Apple mouse was missing. The thief appeared to gain entry to the locked car by "jimmying" the driver's side door lock as it was damaged. Fortunately the thief overlooke... read more

Thieves! – I am a frequent shopper at Salvation Army Thrift Stores, particularly Clybourn and North Avenue and Karlov. I have witnessed managers and cashiers allow family members to purchase two full carts of clothing and shoes for $25! The managers and cashiers ring a $2 item as $.02! Jugo (former manager for North & Karlov) would charge friends and relatives half price for each item purchased (I always watch the register and the actual price of the item). Salvation Army is no longer a place for poor people to shop because ... read more

Big Selection, Great Prices, Way Too Crowded! – I'm a big thrift store shopper. So, while visiting Chicago, I had to check this place out. On the positive side, there is a huge selection - almost too much of one. The clothing racks are so jammed that you can easily miss something great. The prices were great, I didn't pay more than $6.00 for an item. But, this place is not for the weak of heart! It is crowded with racks, and even in the middle of a weekday, enough people were there to make it difficult to negotiate the narro... read more

Great selection, location, value – I have a flexible schedule, so do most of my shopping weekdays. I went on Cyber Monday - part of the Thanksgiving day weekend, when it was probably busier than usual, but not terribly crowded. I literally found every specific item I was looking for, and more: long, neutral colored trench coat with a removable liner; zip up lightweight athletic jacket to wear inside other jackets; 4 white salad plates; a lightweight brown suede jacket; 2 sets of excellent rust colored pillow shams to match a... read more

Best quality...cheapest prices! – I love this store! I've been to a lot of thrift stores and this has the best prices and a lot of good clothes/shoes. I regularly find long-sleeve silk sweaters from Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Gap for $4-5. And Gap jeans can be gotten for $6. Lots of outside jackets and coats for $8 and up - many name brands but those may cost you $12-$15. There's no place to try on the clothes but for these prices you can afford to make a few mistakes and still come out way ahead... The aisles are close to... read more

Thrift seekers dive – I went to the Clybourn store which stays open until 9-9:30pm. The location is not great for those without a car, unless you live in the area, since at least one CTA transfer is required. It is also tucked away off the street in an odd intersection of Clybourn Fullerton & Ashland. I went with an open mind, so I was neither disappointed nor suprised. The location has two full floors, the first floor is mostly clothing, the second is housewares, furniture, kids clothes and shoes. Despite the location, the ... read more
