I’m reluctant to review this location since it’s where I find all my greatest deals and really, I don’t want to share with you. But I will since we’re friends.

50% off Saturdays are CRAZY. Be prepared. If you are clostraphobic you should avoid it at all costs. However, you can get smokin’ deals on pretty much everything if you’re willing to deal with massive crowds. This Saturday I got close to $200 worth of pristine Anne Taylor dresses, slacks, and shirts for about $15 — total.

This store is clean and doesn’t smell like dead people — a huge bonus in my book. It’s well organized and the people that work there are really helpful. One of the better thrift stores in the area by far.

Goodwill is located at 4005 N. 16th St. in Uptown — (602) 279.5870

The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.

Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 25 million viewers just last month!
