Awesome Thrift Store
One of my guilty pleasures is to go to Thrift Stores, Garage Sales and Swapmeets; you can find great treasures and the hunt is always fun. From all the places in San Diego, this is the best thrift shop I've been to. Of course, you need to come with patience and go through the whole store, plan to spend a couple of hours and you will not be disappointed. The items are well organized by type of clothing so if you need a short sleeve shirt, a t-shirt or a dress, they will be in separate racks.
So far I haven't been impressed with the book collection, but I've gotten amazing clothes, some brand new with tags on them. I think the best is a Neiman Marcus cashmere sweater, also BCBG black patent pump, boots, jackets and at great prices.
The only drawback I find is that there are no changing rooms and no refunds, so you have to either guess at how the clothes will fit you or try them on top of your clothing. Because of that, I've had some misses, but I spent only a couple of dollars on the items so I normally donate them back.
