Although, I love thrifting and finding affordable treasures, Goodwill is not one of my favorite…read morespots. I find that most of them have increased their prices to a ridiculous amount. Some of the items I find are over $20 dollars and not worth 1/2 that price. Unfortunately, the closest thrift store to me, is this Goodwill, so I visit it regularly. For this trip, I found a few items that I ended up leaving, and some were definitely too over priced. I have purchased some great items here and there, with excellent prices, but not today. The place has a good amount of items and staff can be friendly and helpful, so I don't mind ending up here once a week. Plus, they relatively organized and clean. I would recommend coming here because every so often, amidst the higher prices, there are some hidden treasures, such as a set of hard cover new books that sold for way less than the ones on the original sellers site. But it does take dedication and time, which is definitely a luxury.

You never know what you're going to find at Goodwill. I have been to multiple locations lately and…read moreit's always a fun event to dig through shelves and racks to find hidden treasure. I normally go for books, music and accessories. I'm always on the lookout for crafts but don't ever seem to find any worth purchasing. The only issue I've noticed is that most stores have an odor that immediately hits you the second you walk in. Perhaps the stores need to invest in deodorizers or something. The Cibolo location reeks of dog. The IH10 location reeks of old/dirty clothes.

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. ‍

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.

I interacted with 3 volunteer staff and they were all super helpful and nice! The store was clean…read moreand the large parking lot was easy to get in and out of. This store is exceptionally well organized with signs everywhere telling you what's on that rack. "Higher quality " items such as a sterling silver James Avery ring size 4.5 were beautifully displayed in locked cabinets and the staff were helpful and quick to let me see those things when I asked.

Boysville Auxiliary Thrift is a spot that I frequent a lot. I would say I come to this spot maybe…read morethree or four times a month. It is big and they have a variety of goods to sell. My favorite thrift in the spot is the books. They are very reasonably priced and you can get quite a few or under a dollar, which is pretty impossible in a lot of other thrift stores. The staff here is friendly and helpful. They have a little boutique section in the front where they keep the newer clothing with tags, and more designer wise items. I do think some of their prices are on the higher end, which is disappointing when you're trying to get some affordable items. Clothing, however, it's usually reduced, so along with the books a good purchase. Not so much their purses, and some of their other accessories. It's worth a visit to search through their treasures and find some good thrifts. This is not my favorite thrift store, but it will be some of the goodwill prices in a pinch.

I visited Texas thrift in Windcrest San Antonio area in Texas…read more I really enjoyed how everything was organized and clean. The discounts were amazing. The store is huge, so come with plenty of time so you can take a look at all of the sections. The checkout process was convenient, and there was an attendant who was very helpful in the checkout process. Thank you to Tomas for the help and the information. If you are visiting the area and you love, thrift thing, definitely stopped by Texas thrift.

This is a thrift store you can access right off of IH-35 when you are coming in or out of San…read moreAntonio and that makes this store super convenient for anyone who wants to stop in and take a look around to see if you can find anything that catches your eye. The last time I was here (in June) the store was hot. The a/c was on but just for the back half of the store. I saw employees fanning theirselves down as they checked out the customers at the registers. Like any other thrift store it is hit or miss here for finding items. I recently found some vintage floral gallery art pieces from the 1990's for about $4 each. Dish ware, glassware, and items that may have a pair will be priced per each item so keep that in mind. I didn't see many sets sold together. There is so much clothing here and you will need to browse through all of it to find something great. I will say there are a lot of plus sizes or 2x and up sizing for women here. Not many thrift stores just north of here have plus sizes. The expensive items can be found in the front right before the registers. I saw some vinyl records behind the counter and saw a couple of worth-a-look titles to check out. I was disappointed in finding a Zappa vinyl LP that was in rough condition and priced at $50. In my humble opinion they might not know what they got for records and are pricing based off of title alone so be sure to check your record before making a decision to buy. Parking isn't a thing here as there is a large lot. There is even a spacious drop off donation spot here too that would be easy for someone to drop off items in bulk without any issue.

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.

I did not take any photos here because I did not plan to review, but after thinking about my visit…read moreand chatting with my friend who was with me, I decided to make a few comments. I realize thrift stores rely on donations, but several items we picked up were marked boutique but appeared more than lightly worn. Many of the clothing items were heavily worn and not in good repair. A necklace behind the counter was missing more than a few gems. The store is organized by categories but the lighting is awful, and makes it seem dirty even if it isn't, and there are dead ends/blocked aisles that require you to turn around and go the other way. Staff seemed friendly enough. I interacted 3 times with a young male teen and he seemed pretty low key minimal interaction but by the 3rd chat we hit it off to to speak. He's probably just slow to warm up. I did try on a few clothing items that I purchased. My friend also found something. But I don't think we will add this to our list of shops to frequent.

Great selection of home goods, decor, books, clothes and small electronics at a reasonable price…read more Great place to visit if you are looking to furnish your place. What I love most is the daily deals. The employees are always super helpful. They also have an area referenced as their "Boutique" items which are higher end items that are a little more pricey but again very good finds at a fraction of the retail price and in very good condition.
