What They Sell

Value Village in University Place carries an ever-changing mix of secondhand goods spanning just about every category you can think of. Clothing takes up a large portion of the floor space — men's, women's, and kids' apparel sorted by size and color — but the real gems often hide in the housewares, furniture, books, and electronics sections. Shoppers regularly turn up brand-name pieces, vintage décor, quality kitchenware, and collectibles at a fraction of retail prices. Beyond clothing, expect to find shoes, accessories, toys, small appliances, media, and seasonal items. The inventory reflects genuine community donations, which means the quality and variety shift constantly — a feature that seasoned thrifters genuinely love.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit mid-week, especially Tuesday through Thursday mornings, when newly processed donations are more likely to hit the floor before the weekend crowd arrives.
  • Check the color-tag rotation — Value Village runs regular discount sales tied to specific tag colors, so knowing which color is currently on promotion can unlock an extra 25–50% off already low prices.
  • Don't overlook the housewares and book sections, which tend to be less picked-over than clothing and often hold the most surprising finds.
  • Bring measurements if you're shopping for furniture or large items — the store moves pieces quickly and returns can be tricky on bulky goods.
  • Sign up for Value Village's loyalty or savings program if available, as members often get early access to sale events and additional discount days throughout the year.
