Still has a very wide variety of merchandise. This year, fewer clothes for men, although curated and sorted very well. Perhaps our visit last year was during a good time, but it seemed inventory was down, and prices were up. The art selections were fewer, and the variety of collectables seemed fewer, too. The quality of merchandise is usually pretty high, but prices have gone up, reducing the perceived value, overall, of the merchandise. There is much junk, but it's easy to comb through. It's worth a visit. read more

I was impressed for how well organized this shop is. Very spacious with good ventilation and amazing music! I went in and discovered a Boutique towards the back of the shop. Well curated clothing and accessories with higher prices. They don't have a dressing room available but you can try the clothes on top of your clothes do dress appropriately. They also have a big selection on pet supplies and accessories. The service was on point. read more

I was really impressed with this thrift store! I like that for most items it's just a set price. For example men's pants form the regular rack were 3.99- I found my husband PGA tour slacks, Chaps Ralph Lauren, and Jos A Banks pants. They also had one of the better craft sections I've seen in tucson at any of the thrift stores. It's huge inside and well organized. There's almost too much to look at. The staff were friendly and constantly restocking. read more

Saw a cedar chest there w/ex-gf, who wanted it badly but price was too high. I went back a week later and the item was still there! I asked the nice young man about a discount, and after conferring with the boss, knocked $70 off; I bought it and it barely fit, but it did. That night I delivered my ex's Christmas present early. She was ver happy. read more

My review is for this organization. It's a thrift store that is connected with the Human Society of Southern Arizona. So when you donate your household items, clothes, jewelry, furniture and toys they are sold to raise money for all the neglected, hungry, abused, abandoned, unloved dogs, cats and all animals in Tucson and surrounding areas. Please support this amazing charity thrift store by shopping here and donating. I know they have quality items cause I donate nice things! There is value in buying an item that directly helps those in need. Adoption is the answer. Give a lonely animal a forever home. read more

One of favorite go to thrift stores. Getting a little crowded, but you sometimes get to see fur babies for adoption. While I am more of a PACC person, I do support any animal org (and HSSA has had some serious issues) and we do love the variety of items. Lots of pet items, guaranteed. Because people love animals, they get a lot of merchandise. They have a boutique area in the back for more top of the line items, next to furniture. Also they have an antique area to the right. In the middle right is the kennels for adoptable friends. Some of the middle of the store is getting cluttered, they need to take some time to clean up and reduce, but never know what you will find. Discounts for Vets, Senior and others, check the boards. Good place to visit and support local. read more

HSSA Thrift Store - South side interior - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Like all thrift stores, selection is hit or miss, if you're shopping for yourself. However, I personally feel like there are a lot of great items to choose from any time I visit, and I visit 2-3 times a month; always different days. Prices are always fantastic as well, even on the antiques. I love the entire staff. I definitely recommend thrifting for a great cause here! Better yet, bring a friend with you. read more

One of the most clean and organized thrift stores in Tucson, unless it's one of their big sale days which makes sense why it would be slightly messy. I have found some of my best finds at this store and as someone who is a frequent thrifter that is a statement I don't say lightly. Staff is always friendly and helpful in my experiences at the store. My favorite part of this one as opposed to others is that they have two sections a boutique with slightly higher prices and then their regular section, I appreciate this as it allows them to curate more of their items as opposed to having everything in a jumble. Also, they are one of the few thrift stores that still has a dressing room and if you're someone like me who needs to know how clothing fits in order to buy it that alone sets it above. Not to mention the prices are always fair and instead of individually pricing items everything has one sticker price for each category. Lastly, my conscience feels better fueling my shopping addiction when it goes to cats and dogs vs a faceless corporation's profits. read more

This was my favorite thrift store for years until they closed their fitting rooms. I cannot buy clothes if I cannot try them on.

Normally, I have such a good experience here. I do all my donations here and I shop here quite frequently. The young man or the older woman that helps with the checkout are always so polite and nice. But today the cashier Angelique R. was unnecessarily nasty and rude. I approached with a smile and asked about a price for a coffee mug, and she very nastily said that if they took the time to price every single item then they would be too busy and that I should know that it is $.99. Then she said that my total was six dollars, but the screen in front of me said 26.91, so I just verified that six dollars was what I was going to pay. She then felt she need to explain to me like I was an idiot that she can do nothing about resetting the screen, and that if I look at the receipt at the end, it will show six dollars. I think she needs to be given further customer service training, to match the same type of energy as the other employees. read more

This is an alright thrift store. If its on your way, I'd stop by, but I wouldn't make a trip for it. I love the cause they support but are wildly overpriced in some areas. I found more of what I was looking for price-wise at the other thrift stores in the area. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this thrift store, it wasn't that amazing, except for the funds to help dogs and cats rescue, etc. The parking very tight and not very plentiful. A parking area right in front of the back was blocked off, not sure what that was about. There is a flat price for various clothing. Prices looked reasonable for the clothing. Seemed like there was just a lot of junk. read more

I'm updating my review to say that the new location is bigger and better than the last location (that I had reviewed)! The footprint of the store is huge! It feels even more spacious and inviting because there's lots of room to walk around aisles and look at things now. The store layout flows well and makes sense. There's lots of varieties of stuff from clothing, books, sporting goods, household cleaners/appliances, tchotchkes, to furniture and more. The quality of the items vary but most stuff is in fine condition. The parking lot is also nice and large and way less chaotic than the last location could be at times. The staff is friendly, as usual, and the overall experience at the HSSA Thrift Store remains pleasant and fun. With the added bonus of finding treasures! read more

Great thrift store with everything from antiques to pet supplies. Huge selection and I always find a treasure.

As far as thrift stores go, this was a pretty decent one. A huge selection of various items that change probably on a daily basis. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable to where items were in, what groups, and the prices seemed fair. All donations go to a worthy cause, anything that helps animals is Top-notch in my book. read more

I was super excited to see the new store, I felt a bit let down that it was so small. My dog did love running around (on a leash) and saying hi to everybody, that was definitely a bonus. The store itself felt pretty empty, very neat and the prices were average. I loved all the jewelry, I did not see any good "thrift store" prices. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Casa de los Niños, which sadly closed! I did buy a necklace for six dollars, I would've bought more but for a thrift store the jewelry was too expensive. I also saw a few vintage furniture pieces that were broken or in desperate need of repair for over $40! Yikes. A good place to bring the dog when it's hot, some neat stuff to look at, and overall a decent experience. read more

Nothing special. Not sure why it gets high ratings. Mostly clothing. Miscellaneous items are jumbled up,

I was in this afternoon and the media is 50% off. There were books in bankers boxes. A reseller was going through the boxes and scanning books, taking what she wanted and putting others back. As she was finishing an employee came and asked if she had finished. She said yes. Myself and another customer started to rummage through the boxes. The employee told us that she needs to take the boxes and left and returned with another employee and a dolly. They took half the boxes stating that they were "special books". Um, ok. When I left the store the employee was at her car with yet another employee scanning the books in the boxes for resale information. I find it frustrating that a reseller was given the opportunity to purchase books but other customers were not. In my opinion not an honest or respectful business model. My cashier, austen was delightful. Kind, efficient and very polite and professional. read more

Came to donate some stuff and came in to look around.... They have some great modern and antique items and are super affordable! Best part you are helping the local animal shelter out shopping here! Definitely a better place to shop and donate to rather than the big corporation thrift stores! read more

This review is for the new location that recently opened up. I had been to the previous location that was in a strip mall, and thought it was fine--I really enjoyed seeing some of the adoptable dogs and cats there, but it was getting cramped. The new location is fantastic as it's absolutely huge. It was still definitely in its infancy due to the fact that the inventory was relatively small in proportion to the size, but from what I saw, I was very impressed. I spotted a nearly complete bedroom suite (minus headboard) which is rare even in estate sales, let alone thrift stores. Everything was tidy, organized, and was devoid of funky smell. Although I did not find anything to purchase in my last visit as I did the ones prior, it's nice to know that the funds used to purchase items from here go to helping our angelic, and very furry friends. read more

This thrift store exists in-service to all of the wonderful animals at the HSSA campus off of Oracle Rd. Purchases provide a steady stream of funding to feed and shelter them, and underwrite vet care. Because animal rescue is so important to the Tucson community, lots of terrific donations go to this thrift, which was voted Arizona-best last year! The new location holds much more. read more

Way to overpriced!!! Your a thrift store !! I event in there so excited to give my money to a good cause but damn there prices are ridiculous! read more

I love, LOVE, LLLOOOVVVVVVVEEE this thrift store!!! I prefer to call it ***MY PERSONAL TREASURE TROVE!!!*** I ALWAYS find a precious treasure to take home EVERY time I shop here! Just yesterday I was able to purchase an ENTIRE very gently used (looks almost new off the showroom floor) outdoor living room set that will very comfortably seat 8! I also found a beautiful acrylic set of dishes, drinking glasses & wine glasses too (perfect so if something falls on the brick patio it will NOT break!) All I need to add now are some guests and cheese & wine to serve on my new table! Inventory is richly replenished EVERY MONDAY so the store is CHOC FULL of new items EVERY TUESDAY!!! I can hardly wait until the store opens on Tuesdays! I am usually the first one in the store! AND on Thursdays they offer a substantial senior discount! Why would anyone shop anywhere else??? SAVE MONEY & SUPPORT AN EXCELLENT CAUSE ~~~I confirmed that 100% of the store's proceeds go to the Humane Society for the benefit (feeding, daily care & lodging, veterinary care, surgeries, etc.) of all the animals!~~~ I do not know of any other thrift store that can say the same! I travel extensively, always check out the local thrift stores and I have never encountered any other thrift store with a cause like this! ~Customer service: *****!!!!! LOVE THE EMPLOYEES & VOLUNTEERS ~Parking Lot: ***** (including handicap spaces & a lot of covered parking!) ~Store cleanliness: ***** ~Quality, quantity & variety of Inventory: ***** ~New WEEKLY inventory: ***** _Store layout: ***** Beautifully appointed decor and lots of room to roam (very nice because my husband is in a wheelchair and he always has room to meander down the isles while he scouts out his favorite treasures! ~Public Restroom: ***** Clean, great size to move around in a wheelchair, firm grab bar by commode and you can even get your wheelchair under the sink to thoroughly wash your hands! THIS IS MY THRIFT STORE AND I WILL GLADLY SHARE IT WITH YOU! read more

I have shopped at the HSSA thrift store for years, I like to be able to support a local animal charity. I also donate there most of the time even though it's a bit of a drive for me. I love their new location, much bigger and more choice. I find the items well priced and always find something I want. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. read more

HSSA Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Yuck this place is just sad and dusty! Your welcome to bring you pet with you while you shop for random stuff. I volunteered there and that was nice until one of my bosses left and a crabby nasty old bald guy named Craig took over! He made volunteering there miserable, I know longer felt welcome and felt like I was going to a depressing little hole in the wall of a shop. He had no social skills and an unfriendly face. I wouldn't bother with going to this place at all since its just sad and dusty and there is a crabby bald guy named Craig working there. This place is very unorganized and others who work there are very rude! Don't bother volunteering or work here because they don't care!!!! read more

Hawaii may be able to brag about their blue waters and white sand beaches, but they sure as heck can't say the same about their thrift store selection! That is why I was so excited to visit Tucson... thrift stores galore! If you are ready for a hunt in a trove of unique treasures, look no further than HSSAZ. I spotted brands like Talbots and Ann Taylor, browsed through an endless selection of books, and admired their large display of snazzy jewelry. Be sure not to miss the beautiful furniture donations they receive every now and then too. Did I mention I'm a craft enthusiast and dog lover? I left the store happily with a few zippers and fabric to sew and a lightly used dog vest for my little one back home. If I haven't convinced you to check these guys out yet, remember you are shopping for a wonderful cause! read more

If you know my reviews I tend to be quite generous to businesses. But this store gets a nicely deserved * star for pathetic customer service. The store has offered less and less interesting items in the last year, and it used to be so good. I like that it's for the Humane Society. I went in and found an item on the shelf, a M*A*S*H bourbon maker, but it was un-priced. At the checkout counter, the clerk examined it ,took it in back, then informed me the people who price check were gone, and he couldn't sell it today, but I could come back tomorrow for it. I asked if they would hold it and he said "no." So I would have to find it on shelf again, if it's still there. I mean, I get it, I guess, you don't want to sell something that could be worth a lot more. But that's a ZERO for customer service, not even offering to hold it for me shows utter disregard for the customer. This one star is for lack of customer service and the hope So thank you for that, I'm sure someone else will buy this item, and I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

This place is phenomenal. I donated some items to them and had a look around. The clothes selection is ok, not too big and not too small. Prices are super low $2.00-$4.00 for shirts, sweaters, dress apparel. You will see a price chart on the wall for certain categories. They also have: - home decor (vases, lamps, etc.) - hiking/outdoor gear (backpacks, plates, etc.) - pet supplies (horse halters, food bowls, bird cages) - furniture (couches, chairs, etc.) - Other (bicycles, purses, and more) I am a fan of this store. Their goods don't have holes or stains on them unlike some other secondhand stores I have visited in Tucson. The clothes they have there are very good quality and I have found some good brands too. Check them out you might find a great deal. read more

The only thing better than shopping at a great, easy to navigate, thrift store, is shopping at one that also supports a great cause! This is one of the easiest thrift stores to peruse if you have just a few minutes to kill. They have a little bit of everything, but not so much that you have to dig and search through clutter. They generally have a wider selection of both outdoor equipment and pet items than other thrift stores in the area, which is great for those of us who love camping and hiking with our pets. If I need something pet-related, I'll generally check here before heading over to Petsmart. That being said, some pet items are a bit overpriced for being used IMO (some things you can find at the 'big box stores' for less), but since it's for a good cause I'll generally cough up a bit more than I would at other thrift stores in the area. My favorite things here are their used books! I love exploring and finding great reads at great prices. .50 cents for paperbacks and 1 dollar for hardbacks can't be beat. They have a great selection of a little bit of everything, and their staff are always more than willing to help you look if you have something specific in mind. read more

Very friendly staff. Clean, well organized Thriftstore. Stock seems to change daily...which makes me wanting to come back to see what is new. Highly recommend. read more

I love the store and have donated to no other thrift store in town since they opened. It is such a worthy cause.

I donated some stuff here I currently have laying around my storage room knowing that the proceeds will go to the animals that needed our help and also provide low costs services to us animal lovers. Although some of their merchandise are being sold on a bit pricey level, it's still for a good cause so I frequent this store whenever I go thrifting. read more

Up until the end, our shopping experience was pleasant, we always find nice things at this store. However, when we went to check out the cashier injected herself into our conversation saying she only goes to "nice" stores to shop. This definitely offended the lady behind us, as she spoke up saying there was nothing wrong with shopping at thirft stores. The cashier continued to defend her statement by saying she preferred high quality items and thirft store clothes were inherently dirty. At this point I was beginning to get offended. The other cashier offered to ring up the lady behined us and their argument ended. Once she had finished ringing us up she proceeded to offer my 36 year old mother the senior discount (for people 50 and up). We were obviously red with anger. She picked up on this and tried to fix the situation by saying sometimes she gets mistaken for being 18 when she is actually 26... This lady should NOT be working customer service because clearly her "people skills" are lacking. read more

Very clean and organized store, found amazing things at unbeatable prices! I would recommend for sure.
