St. Vincent says goodbye
We’re bummed to announce it, but the jumbo-sized St. Vincent de Paul thrift store at 23461 Ridge Route Drive No. I, Laguna Hills, is closing its doors later this month. Patrons will receive 30% off their purchase; normal prices include women’s clothing items for $3.99 each, and books for $1 per paperback or $2 per hardcover before discount. We paid 70 cents for a paperback of Ian McEwan’s “Atonement” and $2.80 for a designer silk Language Los Angeles blouse. But hurry — the best deals are going quickly. Call before visiting, due to limited store hours. For more information, call (949) 458-3410 or visit svdpoc.org.
