They have large selection of clothes and if you have the time to look through you could find stuff. The stores cleanliness I question. Fitting rooms are not open to public. The quality of items are hit or miss. Lots of cute things but I dont think they check for Knicks/imperfections/holes/oil stained/wine stains on their clothes. Alot of the clothes are found with these imperfections which I hardly ever see at a Goodwill/Savers. So they dont have high standards when putting their clothes out to the public. Plus the grossest thing happened I tried a couple of dresses on over my clothes and as I took them off a bug from one of the dress crawled onto my chest. Looked like a yellow bug with six legs super tiny. So my friend and I were constantly pushed and the employees are cutting in front of you to clean with no excuse me swiping dirt on you. We right away went to the laundry mat to wash our clothes ASAP for fear of bring bedbugs. Dont come here not very clean.

Great place to shop for donated clothes. Can get crowded fast, so I recommend going during the week and not on the weekend unless you like that kind of environment. No fitting rooms right now due to the pandemic thats the only bummer. Other then that happy hunting!

There’s clothes on the floor. Manager assistant is so unprofessional and rude she is no help at all. She should reallyWork on being a little bit more nicer to people. Avoid this place!

Not sure why Google lists this place as a non-profit when they obviously are for profit and say so in the store. Pretty gross for-profit thrift store. Goodwills are cleaner with a better selection.

Has all assortments of stuff. At this place you can find all sorts of high quality Donald J Trump apparel... exactly where youd find Trump stuff. I got a original Trump clothing line dress shirt for $2.00.For all other stuff, this place has it.

Very large selection of products for sale with things organised nicely.My only issue was that an employee singled me out for not wearing a mask when I passed by many other employees that didnt say anything, plus many other customers werent wearing one/had it on their chins near us as well. I found it a bit strange that I was the only person the employee spoke out to.

Review №14

Good selection BUT they’ve continued to increase prices over the past year and now youre not allowed to try anything on. So you have to hope a used pair of jeans for $16 will fit because you cant return them. There is no good reason to not let people try on clothes other than to force people to buy things that they are unsure about. I wont be coming back until they open up the dressing rooms again or drastically reduce their prices. Only about 20% of what I bought fits properly which is not cool in this economy.

Good prices here, but OH MY GOODNESS if you get anxiety from too many people in a small space, avoid this place! People have no boundaries and will reach across you to start shopping the same rack you are looking at. Social distancing is not a thing here!

I’ve been to every thrift store in the book and this one is my favorite local one. You can’t expect luxury living in a thrift store so it’s definitely a little dirty and you have to look hard but that’s the fun of thrift shopping. I found lots of stuff at decent prices.

Texas thrift is by far my favorite thrift store ever. They have daily promotions and on holidays they do 50% off. I went today and they had their 4th of july sale event. I got alot of really good stuff and barely spent $60. The staff is super helpful and friendly.

You can fully outfit your home and body by shopping here. Great for toys, decor (cheap picture frames!), sheets and towels (I always find 100% cotton when I dig), clothing (my go to for my kiddo, clean unstained cute pieces), coats, home goods, office supplies, holiday stuff. Furniture is hit or miss, you got to keep checking in because they’re updating their stock throughout the day (or just never leave which isnt hard to do). I will go here with a specific thing in mind and often find it. Staff are great, there’s a couple bathrooms you can use (not always clean), ample parking and bonus: they open at 8am. I love donating here and how they’re not affiliated with a religious organization but all about protecting the environment.

The Texas thrift is one of the better thrift stores in Austin. They always have new inventory, a wide variety of items, and their prices are reasonable. Every day they have a discounted color tag so you’re bound to find a deal here. Monday is their blue tag day, which is 50% off clothing with blue tags!

I love this store! Its very large, clean and has a wide variety of clothing and accessories for men,women and children of all ages. Its a must visit more than once, kinda store. I got 5 shirts,in excellent condition, for 15$. Super cute and my dude found some good stuff as well.

Review №30

This used to be my favorite place in Austin to find deals. In the last 3 years it’s become my least favorite. The prices have gone up and the quality of clothing way down. The last straw for me was finding a jacket and bringing it home to find it just infested with bed bugs. There’s no more dressing rooms and no return policy, the manager is rude and unhelpful, the clothes are racked too low to the ground in some places it’s hard to look through them and the place just keeps getting dirtier. I’d be surprised if it lasts another year or two.

I found a silver antique bowl here made by Paul Revere (the company NOT the man!) It was tarnished so bad I dont think they realized what they had. Bought it for $2.50 (original price of $4.99 got it 1/2 off). Googled it for 200.00. Had it appraised for 350.00! What a bargain!

I came here and I loved it sooooo much, yes the clients are usually weird but the haul definitely worth!!! There’s so much variety in clothing for young people and kids! I love it.

Yes you have to be comfortable in thrift store environments in order to shop here. However, they have a pretty good selection of home textiles and clothes with affordable prices. I usually find some piece of home decor or furniture here as well. Their hours are longer than other thrift stores and they are local! The employees are super helpful and friends too.

Poor customer service, if a customer calls y’all should probably have someone speaking English answer the phone. She couldn’t even understand my simple question of “ are your dressing rooms open”. It’s very frustrating when you have to call 4 different times to find or something so simple.

Very clean and welcoming atmosphere. The ladies that employed there were friendly, polite and responsive. The selection of style, brand, colors, and items were massive with something for everyone in the family to enjoy. I can say the shoes were waaay too expensive (I didnt look at the price before purchase...). I did walked out extremely happy with my purchases and my experience. Will definitely pay the establishment another visit. Highly Recommended!

Great thrift store! Huge but still very organized. Has a great variety of clothes in different sizes and styles and cultures. Many attentive workers, know what theyre doing. Average price for a clothing item about $5.98, but all in great condition. A lot of parking available, has deals for certain color tags on certain days of the week.

I have loads of fun every time I shop there. Ive been a customer for about 5 years.. The staff is ALWAYS friendly. If perhaps a staff person CANT assist they in turn will find 1 that can.. The store is ALWAYS clean just cluttered . The only issue that I have is customers that come in with numerous children , they dont tend to them. Therefore, they ALWAYS go into the toy area & destroy it for others , whom like to shop in that area as well. I NEVER let my grandson out of the basket, as its courteous & hes MY responsibility . The staff are not to BABYSIT. Also during the summer months its ALWAYS HOT inside . It would be helpful too have a gigantic cold fan.

They have lots of stuff but change they change prices right in front of you. The tag says one thing they changed it to another. The cashier tried to pretend she didn’t speak English. Thank goodness I can speak Spanish. Then the cashier charged me for items I didn’t purchase. Scam scam scam. Luckily I did get my money back. I will neverGo again.Imagine if you don’t look at your receipt howMuch extra they charge people.

I always find something here that I just cannot leave for anyone else. My friend and I went today for some birthday thrifting, she scored a bunch of VHS tapes and some cute heels. I found a great maternity dress and some skirts. Love this place. It gets a little hectic on 50% off days, so I just go on regular discount tag days. But youll always find something here you want!

I prefer this thrift store to any Goodwill. There is tons of stuff to look through and great deals. We come here twice a month at least to check out the new merchandise. There are daily specials with 30-50% off the already low prices. You can get furniture, clothes, shoes, electronics, housewares, movies, and so much more. I also like how we can drop off donations in the back instead of throwing it out.

Get ready to dig, theres a lot of treasures here mixed among the clothes, purses, shoes, bedding Etc! Make sure to pay attention to whatever the sale color is so you can find the half price or 30% off items. This is one of the better thrift stores in Austin as far as selection and price, definitely worth a visit!

I discovered this place from my mother in law who goes on 99 cent Mondays. I had gone and as a previous reviewer says it does smell a little funky, but the deals there are very good. I always see my mother in law buying something nice there. I usually go to browse the book sections but I have not gone on Mondays yet as I am working late and it is an hour drive for me to get there but I will eventually get around to going at that time. Overall its a pretty good place to find deals if your strapped for cash.

Review №69

The prices were decent but I was appalled at the behavior of the employees as I shopped on Saturday morning January 5, 2019. A group of 4 female employees, all speaking Spanish and laughing loudly and pointing (not sure if they were pointing at me, other customers or something else since I dont speak the language) were clustered near the entrance between the two cash registers. Their loud laughter convinced me they were having a very good time. They were blocking the door and entry and I veered around them. They made no greeting or apology. After selecting items, I got in line. The one cashier was surrounded by 3 other female employees. They were all speaking Spanish and laughing loudly every time one of them spoke. The cashier did not smile, make eye contact, greet me, or thank me. Without acknowledging me in any way, she took my items and rang them up while she continued to participate in the Spanish-language conversation among the employees, speaking to me twice. When I handed her my credit card, she said ID. She looked at my ID and wordlessly handed it back. After processing my payment, she pushed the credit slip toward me and said Sign. I have been to Texas Thrift before and it has always seemed casual but well organized and the employees are polite and attentive. I cant give todays experience Zero Stars although it deserves it. Ill give two stars because of past visits and because I know they can do better. Todays experience left me feeling unwelcome and out of place. It was not a good experience and made this a place Im not anxious to revisit.

Its a thrift store it has lots of really good bargains and it always has days where they have percents off. Its not the kind of stuff I would cherish in a thrift store. Theres a lot of shirts and clothes lot of dust catchers typical thrift store. The prices are reasonable too cheap. Go check it out if youre a thrift store type of person. It will be worth your while.

This is my go-to thrift store in town. I love their selection and the staff are all nice, but really what makes it great are the prices. I think they have things organized well also. They organize clothes according to color and type, which ends up working really well because most people know what color works best for themselves and their style. They have plenty of space, so it never feels too crowded.

Great thrift store! Good prices, HUGE selection, occasional really nice stuff, good sales every week.I shop here myself, first. If I cant find it here, I try the other thrift stores (Savers, Goodwill), and if I still cant find it, then I go to a retail store. I recommend the same to my friends.

I recently shopped here on 6/25/19. And this place is NOT suitable for people who use wheelchairs.The isles are WAY too narrow & cluttered & I could BARELY get into the fitting room with my wheelchair. I was running over goods that were laying in the floor of some isles that I could not see! I could not shop well as much as I wanted! The OTHER MAJOR problem was when I was paying for my clothes... The cashier asked to see my ID/Drivers license, I was ONLY buying clothes! NOT liquor or cigarettes I am 47 years old! The cashier told me it is store policy! This is the FIRST TIME I was ever asked this when buying clothes! OTHER places would only ask for my email address or phone number.. Nowadays, Stores want SOME form of personal information when you buy things! You cant just quickly buy & leave out the door anymore, Not like in the OLD DAYS. Im NOT SURE if I will return to shop here again! Because that didnt make sense! I UNDERSTAND this is a thrift store, But I wish they would AT LEAST have it so that a handicapped person in wheelchairs can navigate through the store better so we can explore every isle. I AM DISAPPOINTED & INFURIATED about the store policy. In the PAST I called their home pick up service and they never even called me back OR came by to pick up a lot of goods I wanted to donate to them! SO... My overall experience of shopping here is unsatisfied since I couldnt reach SOME ISLES! I will just have to stick with other places I have been going! I only wanted to try this place because I got caught in rain & I just happened to be passing by in front of here! 😲😔

Review №78

Aside from not having enough room to maneuver the carts through the aisles, I love this place! As most parents know, kids grow so quickly. I was tired of spending hundreds and hundred of dollars on toddler clothing just for them to be able to wear the clothes a handful of times, then I had to give them away. It becomes expensive and tiresome. My brother introduced me to this place a few years ago, and Ive bought nearly all of my clothes and my girls clothes here since.They have a wide array of nice, sometimes brand-new with original tags still on them clothing for all sexes and ages. I can go in there and get a weeks worth of clothing for myself, and both of my daughters for less than $100! Ive walked out of this place with really nice clothes and have spent so little money. It is astounding! The store is not as clean as Goodwill, but the selections, and the prices more than make up for it. I would definitely continue to shop here. Ive gotten many people hooked on it. If youre ever in Killeen, they have a REALLY nice on up there!

Review №79

Just went in today and I must say, Im impressed by their new layout. Theres a lot more room in the front and the clothing racks have been spaced out more so the feel is far less crammed. I like where they put the front registers, it lends more space for the fitting rooms. Selection is still good, I can still manage to walk out with something cool for under $10. If you havent been over there in a while I recommend a visit.

This is a pretty awesome place. Ive found some great tech items for a steal here. I picked up a 15 Dell LCD monitor for $6 here for use with a server. They also have a 40% off everything deal for students and seniors on Tuesdays that makes the deals even sweeter. I was actually astonished by how friendly and helpful the staff is here. Everyone is cheerful and glad to help. One caveat, dont stop by here unless you have a couple of hours to spend. Youll be looking for quite a while and expect to spend at least a half hour waiting in the checkout line. Normally, Id never approve. But hey, at these prices, I can wait!

Review №82

Yes they have a pretty big collection of random thrift store items, but if your not Hispanic, or at the very least fluent in Spanish, I dont recommend a trip here. They will be more than rude, and laugh about it to your face as they continue to make fun of you in Spanish. Stick with the classics, Goodwill and Salvation army.

Review №84

Overall the prices were a little high although its nice to have such a huge selection. If you shop with a basket its difficult because most of the store is cramped and your constantly moving out of the way for people. The worst thing about this thrift is the employees. I havent found any nice ones. All RUDE. They didnt say excuse me to pass by. They definitely wont let you pass by first. In their mind the customers are in the way.

Review №85

If youre looking for womens clothes or shoes, this is a great spot. They have a super-organized stock, not only sorted by size, but also by color! Each day they have a half-off special on a certain tag color, so theres always good deals. Near holidays they have even more things on sale! Dresses range from $5-$12, or half that if its the right day! Shirts are closer to $2-$5. Theyve got a good selection of home goods, too, although thats a little more pick-through-to-find-a-gem.Check out their selection of cowboy boots in the front window!
