In this video I put two of the biggest thrift stores head-to-head: Salvation Army vs. Goodwill. I went in person to both spots here in San Diego and shopped them like I normally would—scanning the racks for pieces that actually make sense for spring 2026 outfits (cute, wearable, and still a good deal). It’s a full thrift-with-me style shop, so you’re coming along for what I’m noticing in real time: what the stores have the most of, what sections feel worth your time, and what’s giving “leave it on the rack.” After the shopping portion, I take everything home for the haul reveal and try-on so you can see what the finds look like styled on an actual person (aka me) and not just on a hanger. I also give my honest review on which store is actually better overall—selection, vibe, and how easy it is to pull together outfits. And yes… there was a very clear winner for me in this matchup, so if you’re trying to decide where to thrift first, this one should save you a trip.
