This is a non-profit thrift store housed in a former bowling alley. It is extremely well organized and the prices are legitimately low. If only Goodwill and the Salvation Army could be half as organized and competitively priced!

I love Abbots! You might have to dig deep to find your treasures but they are there and prices are great. A fun way to spend your day for bargain hunters.

I'd rather not tell you why I love this place because I'd rather you didn't come and swoop on all the treasures I intend to swoop on. I mean, for example, like this incredible one thing... that I can't tell you about. So... never mind. But it's one of the coolest one of those I've seen. Just forget I ever mentioned it, K? A great section of... scarves. And... candleholders. And... um, paperweights. Used matches. Used lightbulbs for the DIY lightbulb repair people. That's all you really need to know. The tools, musical instruments, furniture, mobility and physical assistance items, electronics and stereo components, bins full of power/USB/audio/video/HDMI/fiber and all sorts of cords and cables, multiple aisles of categorized books, glassware, cookware, flatware, crafting supplies, pet accessories (including equestrian items), small appliances, camping and outdoor gear, sports equipment, fabrics, lighting, collectables, games, and on and on... probably of little interest to you. Besides, who wants somebody else's used vintage stuff anyways, right?! Nonerheless, let's just go ahead and keep this to ourselves, M'kay? M'kay. Good talk. We never had it. Oh, but I do have to add an update here (Nov 2022): Apparently whoever *was* pricing the items no longer is, and the new person (if that's the case) is living a Neiman-Marcus lifestyle and thinks we should be, too. Prices, especially in certain departments like tools, have shot up to being often unreasonable. Books are still cheap, housewares are good (mostly), clothes still range from cheap to upper-end-reasonable. But the things I mostly shop for are often priced at nearly the same or just under what say Harbor Freight sells them for NEW, with a WARRANTY, and no missing parts. It's ridiculous. A medium size canvas Ryobi tool duffle bag - $15. A chain grip pipe vice without a mounting base - $59. A beat up extendable pole branch trimmer - $25. An old, dirty, beat up Harbor Freight shop dust collector without the canvas collection bag (necessary component) - $125... They're $160 new. You get the point. There's still some good deals to be found, but it's worth knowing the value of the same new items before falling into the price trap.

I live in Ohio, but I have been to this place twice. They are near Santa Cruz, which I really like as a city. I've bought some books and other stuff. I say they are good people
