I stopped in at the Green Door Thrift Door last month to drop off some items for donation :) ! I…read morewas so impressed with my first visit :D ! This place is really a gem of a thrift store because it's very much a boutique of quirky and thoughtful items, as well as nice and high-end clothing items and shoes :) ! Perhaps its appeal could be due to its central location within Alamo Heights, which is considered upscale :) ! People tend to bring very quality and charming items that you might not always see in the standard Goodwill or Salvation Army store :D ! By the way, I still do bring donation items to Goodwill and Salvation Army, which I still think are great donation stores and centers ;) ! I even donated my prom dress a long time ago to Salvation Army :) ! The Green Door Thrift Store has cute trinkets, dinnerware, mugs, art and home decor that tend to stand out a little more :) ! I had collected some Fiesta medals over these past 2 years in San Antonio. But because I don't anywhere to truly display them, I decided to donate these to Green Door so that perhaps a Fiesta medal enthusiast might see these as great finds to purchase :) ! I also brought some nice party favors, like small vases, that I received before at bridal and baby showers. I also brought some mugs as well. I can only use so many vases and mugs, which is why I decided to bring the surplus in case anyone might want them or find them useful :) ! The Green Door is open for just a few hours on select days, mainly because it relies on the services of volunteers. A lot of these volunteers are super friendly, helpful and extremely nice :) ! When I dropped off my items for donation, they graciously greeted me and promptly gave me a donation receipt :) ! Since I was already enamored by the warm ambiance created by the friendly volunteers, as well as the excitement of customers within the store, I decided to check out the store items myself :D ! I ended up purchasing a cute wooden sign with the message "Friends are like rainbows. Always there to cheer you up after a storm" for a whopping $4 :D ! It was absolutely perfect for displaying on my mantle ;) ! There are also some nice children's books that are very reasonably priced :) ! I looked through some of their clothing items and was amazed that they have some fantastic brands like Tory Burch :) ! Some of their evening dresses are really beautiful and high quality for great prices :D ! I would say much more reasonable prices than the premiums you might pay for brand new dresses elsewhere! If I ever need to attend a formal event, I'll definitely check out their selection first before I go to the department stores :) ! I might just able to find a really nice dress that hasn't been worn, or has only been worn a few times :D ! I even came across a wedding dress that was priced at just $25 :D ! What a great deal for a dress that you will most likely only wear once :) ! Nowadays, it is no longer frowned upon when brides-to-be look first to thrift stores for affordable or vintage bridal dresses :D ! Some customers felt that some items here are pricier than they would like for their respective budgets. I would recommend never spending more than you think an item is worth. At the same time, I feel like some items are very quality that their price point seems somewhat justified. However, I can't say that for all items in this store. If you haven't been here yet, I recommend at least checking this place out if you are ever in the area :) ! You never know what you might find ;) ! If you also have items for donation, it seems like the volunteers truly take care of your items before these are priced and displayed on their store shelves :) !

I stumbled upon this place on Google Maps because it is near Trader Joe's/Quarry Market. It is run…read moreby a church, and the proceeds go to multiple non profit organizations. They have shorter hours than your usual thrift stores, so make sure to check those before you go! When I went, they had a great selection of antique glasses, dishware, clothes, Halloween/Christmas decor, home linens, shoes, ballgown dresses, and bags. The store is relatively small, but they pack so much stuff in it! I ended up spending nearly 1.5 hours here. The prices are reasonable. They are slightly more than some goodwills. The price ticket will show you the future price discount and the dates that those prices will be applied.

Located in a shopping center off of West Avenue and Lockhill Selma, Aplazzi Antiques is a wonderful…read moreshop where the owner has an eye for unique home decor. Everything from furniture to fine China to vintage furs, Aplazzi has items that you will cherish for many years to come. They were having a Galentine's event and the ladies working here are knowledgeable, but you can tell they also have fun. They introduced me to Victorian Majolica, which is earthenware with bright patterns and glazes from the late 1800's. The owner travels to French markets and Round Top and just has an eye for really beautiful items. For a small shop they pack a lot of punch, and they are always getting in new stuff. Her Instagram @aplazziantiques has new stories with all of the cool finds. Closed Sunday and Monday. Other days 11 to 4PM.

The tables are filled with jewelry, a good mix of vintage finds and new, modern pieces designed by local artists. I absolutely love that the owner uses her store front to Support and promote other local businesses. Then there are racks and racks of beautiful, vintage dresses, blouses and coats. It is curated and you can tell that a lot of thought has been put into finding and selecting each piece. I found three key pieces and was so happy with my finds! I love knowing I found a unique piece of vintage clothing, that Can't be found in any mainstream store. The service was great, no pressure, free to browse and then she offered suggestions and friendly conversation. I can not wait to visit the store again and see what other pieces I can add to my wardrobe.

I decided go this evening to experience 50¢ Tuesdays and I don't regret it one bit. It wasn't my…read morefirst time at this store, but normally I go on Friday or Saturday. Before you go, this store isn't like other thrift stores, things aren't often as pristine (I was looking for stained clothes so this wasn't an issue), and the racks aren't really sorted. There's normally a giant pile of clothes to right of the entrance you'll see people rifling through. I thoroughly enjoy this store, but you need to have a good feel to find quality clothes. Tonight I scored J. Crew pink pants with no flaws. It's in there, just hard to find. That being said even not-so-great clothes are easy accept when the prices are so cheap. This is consistently the cheapest thrift store I've been to and I really appreciate that fact. They price to sell.

Ok. In all honesty, I am fairly new to thrifting, about two years, so this place was too much…read more Arrived this Tuesday at 9, which is when they open, and there were already quite a few people in there. By the time I left, about 1 hr later, that parking lot was full. The amount and piles of clothing are insane, but as someone mentioned in the comments, you really have to be persistent and dig to get quality clothing, which, spoiler alert, I didn't! There were so many people, it was impossible to move around with ease, and I didn't have the patience to sort through all that mess for the perfect clothing item. Plus, the noise and assortment of running, crying and yelling children was not fun. After an hour, I could take no more, and speed walked out of there. I will say the value was amazing, though. On Tuesdays, they sell the clothing for .50! That's right, each piece less than a dollar, which explains the crowds and overflowing carts throughout the place. So the value is there, I just needed the endurance, know-how and focus, to find a great piece. Honestly, I don't know if I'll return. I may need more training on the Art of thrift. I was not impressed by the lack of higher end brands, so I'll continue shopping at my known spots. At the very least, because there's less of a commotion, and the thus an enjoyable shopping experience. Sorry! No pictures. I was too overwhelmed to take any. ‍

So you have to love this store and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying this stuff new or even from most used furniture stores. It's up in north San Antonio and not getting nearly as much credit as it deserves, because you'll find some real antique gems in here.

They had vintage guayaberas, hand made tops from Mexico, DKNY, Anna Klein, Farm Rio and many more brands that were in great condition. Two piece sets and gorgeous flowy skirts for vacation trips at very reasonable prices. I found a cute black dress with ladies in sunglasses stitched to it. They had leather purses like Coach, Patricia Nash, BCBG and rhinestone purses too. I was obsessed with their lounge wear rack. Loungewear as in pajamas and robes, not work out clothes. They had vintage silk sets and robes on one rack. I can't wait to go back and get some. They also had antique nick nacks like porcelain ballerinas, silver candle stick holders, retro glass drink sets with gold detailing, cute pieces of jewelry and sunglasses. The two ladies running it were very nice and so friendly. The space is small so please be respectful and careful when moving around. They take tap pay.
