DAV Thrift Store

I have donated several times to DAV Thrift Store located on Centerville Parkway in the heart of Great Bridge.As thrift stores go, this is a pretty good one. The staff is friendly, the store is clean and well organized and they make you happy that you made a donation to the organization.

Decent selection of books, but too many cookbooks. It was raining when I went in and there were several areas in the store that had water on the floor. I almost slipped twice. I bought a very large wooden fork that I assume is meant to be a wall decoration. I plan on using it to poke a hornet's nest on my porch. It was only $12. The person at the cash register said that my wife had been in earlier. I asked how she knew it was my wife and she just laughed. Bathroom was very large. Pets on leash allowed.

I deal with them regularly. The store is close to my home, I am a Veteran and do all I can to help my fellow Veterans,

It was okay, The workers were super nice, the clothes were a bit pricy for a thrift store. They had lots of items to choice from but most of them were for older people but their was a section that catered to younger customers like the tank top section.

Limited selection and prices too high for quality of items. Need to add additional discount days. Only have military discount days. Pleasant staff.

I like to pop in here every now and then and appease my Gear Acquisition Syndrome. In this case, that gear is Digicams.This was my final thrift stop on Sunday and I arrived 5 minutes before closing. (4:55pm). The camera gear is always up front in the glass case next to the register and after looking at the bottom and middle shelves I finally hit gold on the top one. Literally. There was a newspaper on the counter top so I was unable to see the contents of the top shelf in the case until I moved the paper. Low and behold I found a beautiful Olympus digicam that looked brand new. It came with the the charger, and a stock battery that still holds a charge along with a xD-Picture card (anyone remember those things). Long story short after a little bit of haggling I walked out to my car camera in hand, for less than $15. I've had luck here several times. About a month ago I picked up Pentax Optio digicam for $5. Thrifting is easy. All it takes is a little patience and sometimes a little haggling. One of the other reviews said the prices are to high, more like retail. Au contraire mon frère. It's a game. Items are marked to move. Sometimes they're color coded. If you know what the mean, you're one leg up. Never be afraid to ask for a discount, of if they can do better... or ever flat out suggest your own price. I find 9 times out of 10 any thrift store will make the sale so long as it's fair to them to. Last but not least, this is the Disabled American Vets thrift store. Not only do I do buy here on occasion, but I'm more than happy to donate items to this location as the proceeds help veterans. It's a great place all around.

Nice selection, not sure of best time to get there. Friendly people, a good value on items.

This DAV Thrift Store is pretty similar to other local DAV store locations. The staff is friendly and helpful, the store is clean and organized, prices are clearly marked, clothing is sorted on racks according to type and size. The spacious private parking lot is well maintained and free of debris, the walk up to the entrance is always clear. Not all thrift stores offer dressing rooms so I appreciate that this one has them. I know the recycled clothes are very inexpensive and the money goes for a good cause (supporting disabled American military veterans) but it's still nice to be able to try on a garment or two to make sure they fit before purchasing them. Like most thrift stores, sometimes you can find great bargains on items you want and other times you just can't find anything of interest. There is always a good selection of items like clothing and accessories, shoes, dishes, flatware, toys, etc... It's more hit or miss if you're shopping household goods, small appliances, electronics, power tools, furniture, etc...This DAV Thrift Store location (like other local DAV stores) is among the better local thrifts. In my experience, DAV generally has a better selection than most other local thrift stores so they must have a superior system of donations and distribution. If you have a military ID be sure to check out their Military Appreciation Day on the 15th of every month and get a generous discount.

Disappointing prices. We're new to the area but just moved here from an area that's considered higher cost of living. I was surprised by the prices at this thrift store. I think the most surprising was almost $7 for a pair of Old Navy mens jeans. I might try again another time but the pricing is a big deterrent for me. The most I've paid for mens jeans in a thrift store where we lived was $5 for Lucky Brand jeans in good condition.

Good service nice workers, but some of the prices are pretty ridiculous better off going too marshall's or ross if looking for clothes at a decent price.
