Affordable Treasures in
Bellflower (CA)

Literally the best thrift store I’ve ever been to!

This is a genuinely honest thrift store with prices kept nice and low. Like any thrift shop, treasures are in the eye of the beholder—but in my experience, there just wasn’t much to browse through. They cover all the categories linens, men’s, women’s, children’s, home goods, boutique but the selection felt pretty limited. That’s not necessarily their fault, since thrift stores always depend on donations, but it seems like they don’t get as many contributions as other shops. You can usually get a sense of a thrift store by what they choose to keep up front behind the register. Here, that means a few small gadgets, some jewelry and sunglasses, a handful of nicer jackets (maybe five total), and a decent amount of shoes. They do have a $5 minimum for card purchases, which isn’t too bad considering some thrift shops are cash-only. I noticed this place had a 4+ star rating, so I decided to check it out. As a local thrift shop, it’s definitely cute and has a friendly, village-like vibe. That said, I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip from out of town—there are other shops with more variety if you’re looking for something specific.

Worker here I believe named Daniela was rude to me. Was my first time coming in here after wanting to come in this store for a while now always passing by and so I finally did & my experience wasn’t that great :(

This place has seen better days. I heard that they had a flea problem and did not notify their customers . The manager seems to be interested in the female employees. And if you noticed, most are females and they are young.

Went in here looking for furniture for my new apartment, ended up being followed my security where he then took a picture of me in an aisle and walked away. I saw and hesrd the camera click and he still denied it. This was just really weird and rude.

Great prices, great stuff, knick knacks, clothing, electronics, books, & other collectibles, friendly, polite staff ???

Charming, clean and organized thrift shop. Good prices and they have color tag sales as well as 40% off on everything on Thursdays. The staff is kind. My kids and I love thrifting and we always find good stuff here everytime!

I’ve been shopping and donating to this store since the day they opened and they’ve always been nice and welcoming not once have I ever seen or heard anything rude or racial towards anyone from the staff!!!! This is and has been my favorite store to not only buy from but just to come and browse to see what they have in new that I just can’t live without…… lol My favorite thing about this store is that they are Christian

Found some good deals. Only complaint is that store reeked of weed! Almost got a "contact high"! Hope the scent was from a customer. Don't think it was from their nice staff.

Came in to shop, was ready to pay, front cashier who normally works in the back end of the store was placed to work cashier today, (I shop here regularly) she had very snippy attitude, I heard her saying to customers in front of me, sorry “I don’t speak Spanish” but she said in a racist hurtful way that the attitude she projected was very inappropriate. ( I believe it’s not her fist customer talking to her in Spanish because she does looks and seems she does, and I’m not saying she does) but I think she should be more compassionate about her work especially working with the public. Management should be able to prequalify who would be most suitable to represent the store even though is a Thrift Shop we see as any other business.

This afternoon I had a horrible experience at Affordable Treasures. The manager is very rude and doesn’t respect her customers. I donated some things and when I left, the bags were thrown outside! If she didn’t want them she could have given them to me, she should have given them to me in my hand.If someone want to donate I recommend you to donate some place else. Because the purpose of a thrift store is to help each other. And not for someone to feel stuck up. It was not only the manager it was also the other employees. I don’t know why they have that attitude. DONT GO TO THAT STORE AND DONT DONATE THERE!!!!

It was nice better than the old thrift shop I bought my self a few decorations a tiffany decor item that I never seen

My mom saw on your website that you guys DO take furniture. She even talked to someone, she **WAS ABLE** to schedule for someone to come and pick all our furniture up, just to wait all day today and be told that you guys don’t take furniture anymore. Ontop of that you guys did NOT call her, she had to call you. This is extremely horrible business. Especially because we have to move in a couple days. I’m just appalled that you guys don’t at least update your website and instead of apologizing or offering alternatives you just tell my mom “yeah we need to update our website” no duh. Never going here again and I’ll let my friends and family know as well <3 If you don’t accept furniture anymore she should not have been able to make an appointment with a person. I’m appalled at how horrible your customer service is. Now we have to figure out how to move two sofas, two glass tables, a Tv hutch, and a bed frame back in the house. Thanks for nothing! I wish you all the worse, especially whoever picked up the phone!

It's the saddest thriftstores I've ever been to. They hardly have inventory and what little they do have is not that great. The workers there aren't even friendly. It was a bad experience for me. I can't believe I drove so far to get to it for nothing.

Love this place! Always finding great deals and the employees are so nice! Because they're a smaller store, I find that they offer higher quality products. I always walk out loving something so much more because I got such a great deal on it :)

Affordable Treasures thrift store The clothes were properly organized. I found a Calvin Klein red dress ($8.99)for me and a nice dress ($2.99)for my daughter too ? and sewing pattern for $0.79. The staff were kind and friendly.

I visited the store 7 years ago and now everything changed.. I love the new employees, they were very friendly and helpful. The store was organized and the prices are way affordable than it was before. I love vintage stuff and I found few items to add to my collection, this store can really find you treasures and you can still earn points. I will start coming back again.

Since it is a thrift store, the quality of the items are lower but there are so many things you can look at and maybe small trinkets you can find. Music, books, jewelry, tables, decorations, etc. I also love the fact that they take donation. I've dropped off so many things that I didn't need and they took everything.

Shopping at this store is always a treasure hunt! It is always clean. The staff are kind, nice and very polite/courteous. I'm a preschool teacher and I shop here all the time to get great deals which are even greater when you purchase items that are discounted because they have a sale on that color. Please shop here so I can stop buying up everything!

They get cool stuff time to time

9/13/18 @ Affordable Treasures (Owner) Thanks for taking the time to read and respond , it's good to know that your customer's voices matter. I am certain that those that visit and shop at your place of business appreciate your reassurance. **note added 8/9/18** overheard the staff talking and it sounds as if the staff may have first dibs on what is donated before it hits the floor*** but still, so far, the prices are more way more reasonable here since it's re-opening. The store is easier to move around in and you can find some really nice items here. The staff is helpful and friendly & they hand out 50% coupons that you can redeem on Wednesday or Friday + they have a color of the week that is 50% off.

This one is my favorite thrift store in the surrounding 20 miles lol This store ALWAYS have specials going on. You can ask for a calender, and they have all of there special days on there. This week they had 50% off PINK. & also, today they had 40% off of everything. It is never too crowded and they have a variety of things. I love this store.

Lady cashier was very friendly, the moment i walked in she told me the specials for the day. Very organized. Some prices i felt were high but if u walk in in a sale day, prices go down. Dont know if u able to negotiate but worth the try.

I love this store. Staff is very friendly and they expain you what tags are on sale as soon as you walk in. Great management because they have a lot of sales and I love how everything is very well organized. The only thing i think is that the toys are a bit overpriced? but other than that i love this store. The lady at the register is very helpful and polite and i dont think the staff here is racist at all. One last thing today i had a bad experience because a lady kept talking on the phone in Spanish with a "Gloria" and she went on for atleast an hour it got on everybodys nerves it was just unppleasant. When you guys have that 20/ 5.50 you should make it a rule for people not to be on their phones. Thankyou Affordable Treasures for your great discounts.

I can say the staff is not friendly but some regulars are. I'm amazed at the blonde woman working the register- I read another review about the racial comments and I agree - she looks down on most people who enter the store like we're poor and undesirable. She works at a thrift store, she's going to experience a variety of people and if she can't handle it with class and decorum maybe it's time she found a job at Nordstrom- oh wait she won't last there they have excellent customer service. The person thrifting is doing it for many reasons re-sales, vintage clothes, good finds, for fun or because of need, she really shouldn't judge us as we are paying her bills by shopping there. The prices are just ok but shopping the discount of the day items only you can still get a good haul if you work at it.

It started with the lady in the donation parking lot yelling at me "you can't park here", after I told her numerous times i'm just turning my car around. I found parking and went in the store to be greeted by two ladies talking about this Hispanic lady after she only asked what tag color was half priced today. These workers continued with " why can't they just understand, I'm speaking english" there was no need for that. Keep your racial views to yourself. They just continued and laughing outloud. If I could give a negative ten stars I would

Their prices are ok. I can find something here and there. They have discount days which is cool. No dressing rooms. I have found some art supplies, but overall not one of my top stores.
