I've seen some things in life and many of them have been here at Dollar Tree. The vibe reminds me…read moreof Penn Station in Manhattan during its finest hours, where lawlessness meets randomness, and everything in between. While I'm mostly here for all things $1.25 and under, I'm also subject (without fail) to a show almost every time. This is far from the cleanest Dollar Tree and it wouldn't hurt to consider a complete overhaul. The parking lot has the kind of potholes would that would make NOLA proud and there's always some kind of odor just outside the doors. In spite of all of this, this location brings the traffic while so many of the other adjacent businesses feel dormant. To call the store a bit unkempt is one thing, but it really does affect the utility since things aren't the easiest to find. Staff is likely understaffed in some way, since there's always a line at the register and very few folks available to help customers find things. As a result, it's a slow burn perusing for anything here. It's mainly seasonal stuff I'm after, along with their balloons and helium. (#1) The part of me that loves people watching can't help but observe the mini-chaos here that happens frequently. I've seen shouting matches, people getting booted, random shoplifting, and kids that are causing a ruckus throughout the store. This could be any Dollar Tree frankly, but this one in particular attracts all sorts of folks from the nearby apartments. I'd heed caution on visiting in the wee hours, but one should be able to find most of the cheaper items here, but rest assured there's never a dull moment. ___________ (#1) Enjoy it now before helium floats away.

More exciting than Duller Tree, that's for sure…read more This Dollar Tree was closed significantly earlier than advertised. It's close to the stadium and it's in a pretty iffy area despite being close to the medical center and to a lot of fancy areas. Not our favourite part of town by any stretch of the imagination.

It's hard to find a thrift store that sells high quality items AND a large variety at the same…read moretime. This place has both, and despite its impressive array of goods from clothes to furniture, it's well organized and easy to navigate. I'm normally a neutral-color dresser but some of the clothes encourage me to step out of my comfort zone into some louder designs. Additionally, the walls are all lined with non-clothing items for sale -- books, movies, glassware, water bottles, and more. I don't think I've ever come a cross a thrift store with this much versatility. Out of the Closet is serious about HIV/AIDS advocacy and they prove it by putting their money where their mouth is. Like many other thrift stores in Montrose, you can expect marked up (but still fair) prices compared to the larger ones with piles upon piles of clothes to sift through. 96% of all proceeds at this store, however, go toward supporting the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Free condoms are offered near the cashier counter; free HIV testing and a not-for-profit pharmacy sits in the back. The roots of thrifting inherently lie in supporting the community. This is usually accomplished through the affordability of everyday items, but this shop takes it to the next level by showing their dedication to safe sex and access to healthcare. Give this place a visit the next time you cruise through Westheimer -- they deserve your time more than you know.

Shopping in Houston, Texas…read more.. I had some time to spare, so, I decided to check out a 99 Cents Only Store. There were three stores nearby to choose from - and I picked this one because it had the highest rating: four stars! I haven't been having much luck finding artificial flowers, recently. This store had some red roses! I bought them all! Other stores had no artificial flowers. I got some autumn colored flowers from the Dollar Tree... And that's about it! This store was also good because it had all of the regular things I look for: greeting cards, reading glasses, and gifts for my nieces! There were a bunch of other things that I got for Lisa's new apartment... Yes, my friend, Lisa, will be living in Houston for a year... I just want to help her set up her new home! By the way...

It's the holiday season. I got lucky on one of the Sundays. I walked into this Nordstrom Rack Store…read moreand heard on loud speakers about the $10 off coupon on that day only. I quickly pulled out the app and bingo! I found it and bought a shirt for $2.98 on that day. I came back today and hoping to strike another luck. Not necessarily the coupon but I had a good experience on the clearance rack at the other Nordstrom Rack in Westchase. But there weren't any thing for me at this Galleria store. Then, I went to the shoe clearance racks but there weren't any clearance shoes. Ok. I found a couple of shoes with special tags on the regular priced racks. Ugh. So unorganized. Back in the summer, it was my first time here after shopped at Westchase Nordstrom Rack and really liked the merchandise. I found a shirt with price tag from Kohls. After I pointed it out to the dressing room attendant, she found a Nordstrom tag to put on there. Then upon check out, the cashier tried so hard to sell me the store credit card. I told her politely as I needed to pay off my current credit card debt before I would apply for their credit card. She said "I'll be watching you next time you come in. You're going to apply for the credit card." I stopped going there during the day.

My latest trip to this Nordstrom Rack location has me thinking the operation has gone downhill to a…read morelevel of mediocrity I never anticipated. In the past, I would say shopping at Nordstrom Rack was always a good experience. I've been able to find gifts here and also items for myself. During previous shopping trips, the clothing and accessories selection was top notch. The Madewell earrings I purchased here were reasonably priced - like a real sale and good value. However, during my latest trip, I was actually unable to find any jewelry I liked and almost all of it was overpriced. The purses were also overpriced, and the main discounted items in that section were basically Steve Madden brand, which makes me laugh. I was able to find a beautiful scarf, but most of the other scarves I looked at were unremarkable. Hardly anyone else was in the accessories section aside from me. In fact, there were very few shoppers in the store on a Friday evening, which is a bad sign. In the past, this store would be crowded. In the shoes selection, there was no middle ground between heels/platform shoes and more sporty shoes. Hardly any flats! This is so odd and off to me, but maybe other people like it. Regarding clothing, I was able to find a cool brown shirt, but the way most clothing is organized in this store is counterintuitive and not helpful. The cashier did not greet me at all and had very little to say on the back end, so I just grabbed my bag and walked out. I doubt I would return to this location and have found shopping online or in person at the regular Nordstrom to be a much better experience.

That said, as much as I enjoy TJ's, this location could use a few improvements. The checkout setup is one of the worst I've seen -- the single-line queue just doesn't seem to work well here and tends to back up. C'mon, this is Texas, everything is supposed to be bigger... the checkout area included. Another thing I've noticed is that the store always seems freezing inside, which makes browsing a bit less comfortable than it should be. Overall, still a good Trader Joe's for the products we all love, but the layout and comfort could definitely be better. Saluti.
