This place is NOT WORTH ANYBODYS TIME! I used to love this thrift store. I could find books for less than a dollar each and kids clothing for 1-2 dollars per item and then they changed something and everything is WAY overpriced. They forgot that theyre selling used items, I guess. I find clothes from Wal-mart priced for more than Walmart prices them brand new. Theres also no consistency in the pricing. One thing will say $3 and then there can be the equivalent thing from the same brand and it will be $9. I seriously wonder if they do any research on what things cost new and then discount that, or if they just pick a number willy-nilly. And more recently Ive noticed that they started at least trying to explain the overpricing on some items by labeling them vintage. haha Yeah, just because its old doesnt make it worth more. A 40 year old broken iron is still a broken iron. Its not worth 20-30 dollars. Certain things can be worth more even if theyre broken, but not the things this store has. Its impossible to get a good deal here. I have found the exact same items at other resale stores for a fraction of the price. So... From now on Ill just stick to those other stores. Dont even get me started on their stupid "policies".

It is a good store. I am rating a 3 because there are no returns and no switching out. Background. I am checking out, I hand the cashier the money and my boss calls and says that he doesnt want the shirts. I ask her if I can return them. (Meanwhile, i seriously JUST got them, maybe 2 seconds plus however long it takes to say "can I return this". I have to eat the costs of them now. I asked if I could switch for something else and she said no. Store credit? No. Its frustrating because a little kindness goes a long way and is this really how you want to raise money for Arms of hope? By making sure if people cant return or exchange things? I hadnt even had the chance to pick up the bags before he called. Be aware, NO returns under any circumstances. You could be on fire.

Thrift store that charges retail prices on anything home related. Seriously when did thrift stores start charging so much. Theyre charging insane prices for 0.50 items. To top it off their pricing system is so hard to understand and all written in illegable chicken scratch handwriting. So you have no idea what the cost of an item is until youre already in line. When I asked the price of an item manager was rude. Dont waste your time. Check out Salvation Army instead. Their store is cleaner, the employees are nicer, and their prices are more reasonable.

I constantly find items with a Goodwill sticker on them for a lower price and then THEY have written in sharpie a higher price. They have ONE cashier no matter what so you MUST put someone in line for you while you shop like at the Wal Mart return line. It smells VERY bad and its VERY hot. If there is no price marked on it at all, they will NOT sell it; often sighting that their "pricing person" is not available to price it. Then they put it behind the counter as if trying youre trying to buy beer without an ID.

Very strict stupid restrictions, i can not purchase anything without a photo id, so the cashier offered to hold it, only she didnt say she could only hold it for 1 hr when i called to see what they closed they said my stuff was back on the racks, they had a sale that day that everything was 1/2 off for the new year, the next day when ro look for my stuff again guess what everything was regular price asked to speak to the supervisor, she said that was their "policy!" two words: pissed off! $/@/%

The only issue I have is the prices on somethings.. It is a thrift store and if im going to pay $10 for a shirt then im just going to go get a brand new one... When they have deals on Monday thats a good time to go... If they price there things lower and not by the brand they could make more money...and remember you cant exchange or refund..at lease good will you can exchange and they have one set price for things.

EXTREMELY OVER PRICED(used 20 x 20inch picture frames $17), rude & very distrustful. Cashiers ask women to leave their purses at the front counter. Very disorganized & dirty place. Will NEVER come back. I spend any an hour here and witnessed one lady run out & falsely accused of theft and about 4 other ladies just leave because of their policy of the purses.

I found a pair of $100 Guess jeans for $6, and 5 dress shirts for $4 each. The employees have always been nice to me when I go there. The only rudeness and stupidity I deal with is the women shopping there who complain about everything, stand in your way, and forget their ID. Great place, great prices. Great job, Texas Thrift.

Everything except books for babies and small children is overpriced. If I wanted to spend $13 on a pair of jeans Id buy them new at walmart. This place is dirty and full of rude, racist staff who are keen on pushing past you "in a rush" while bumping into you with smirks on their faces. Not enough carts either.

I agree, some things are over priced, but they will have big discounts on certain days(.99 Mondays) and have 50% off on certain areas of the store. 50% off on some already low marked prices, or over priced items, but thats why the fun is in looking around and seeing what things you find by actually looking around.

We go every Monday for $0.99 tag day, and have always had good service. My only complaint would be that when they are stocking shelves they will literally block off entire sections of the store with carts, but have no one working there stocking. But we find almost everything there, some brand new.

Absolutely fantastic place for used Goods a large kitchen wheres section A large furniture Section 8 Miles and Miles of clothing boots accessories sporting equipment its absolutely fantabulous. And its support a very fun shareable cause so get on down there and buy some stuff.

Great thrift store with large selection and great sales. Military and senior days for additional deals and a good rotation of stock in the furniture department. Good place to pick up used kids clothes and shoes as you know theyll grow through the size quickly.

Always a HUGE selection, always a sale, and youll always find something. Prices are sometimes high for thrift stores, but if you hit a color sale it makes up for it. Seems they are working on cleaning up and remodeling, too and that makes a huge difference.

3 stars because I hate the fact they sell things at discount prices like retail stores with new unused clothes instead of a store with used items. But they do have really nice things, Ive gotten so much here with $100 for me and my boys in just a couple trips

Cashier closed her register after several minutes of me and other ccustomers waiting. They didnt honor the people already in line . Had to go to another line that was longer. Decided to put down what I was going to buy and just leave.
