Up, up, up! The prices are not thrift store prices. They justify pricing by saying, "oh, but we are helping people!" It is no help to the general public. Oh, and NO dressing rooms. Don't waste your gas money, folks. And they are an arm of Prestonwood Baptist Church pastored by Jack Graham, a Trumper. read more

Prices are pretty steep for resale and there were 2 common prices....$@12.99 & $22. One particular employee with glasses and black hair did however intentionally catered to only Anglo Saxons by packing up their items in shopping bags instead of trash bags. An offer was made as a request for shopping bags but was denied several times. Eventually she caved in with the use of a grocery bag. Decent selection but you just have to be really through and selective. The cause hopefully outweighs one bad apple read more

Nice thrift shop where they sell higher end thrifted items. Seems like they take time to find good stuff to sell versus just anything they get. Don't get me wrong I like finding cheap deals, and here things are a little more expensive than a regular thrift shop, but there is cool stuff and lots of books, dinnerware, art you don't see everywhere. read more

Prices don't reflect reality. Examples, old navy tank top 12.99, current pricing at old navy, 9.99. Another, John Mark tunic shirt marked 19.99, similar style on sale at the Dillard's outlet store for the same price. Keep in mind that what is being sold is previously worn clothing not new in the examples above. Their store, their pricing and their decision but they aren't the only store out there selling preowned. When I was in the store on Saturday the older lady behind the counter came unglued when she saw that I had tried on the "used" blouse on top of my own blouse. She informed me that they did not have a dressing room and that I can't try on clothes. When you don't offer a dressing room, how do you expect customers to know if the item will fit or not without trying it on? When a dressing room is not offered, this is simply what customers do - they comprise and slip on the clothing over their own before purchasing something that might not fit. I wasn't willing to gamble the $20 for the blouse I was interested in not knowing if it would fit without harmlessly slipping it on over my own clothing. I spent the entire day checking out different thrift/resale stores in the Plano/Richardson area. This was the ONLY resale store where I felt like I was in a scene from "Pretty Woman." There are so many other resale/thrift stores to visit - this one is off my list! read more

It's a tiny place, full of lovely items. Clean. Organized. Friendly & helpful people. They profile themselves as an upscale thrift shop and the prices do match this profile. read more

LifeSavers Foundation - June 2022 - Thrift Stores Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Very overpriced for very outdated average things. Whoever prices their things is not doing a good job. As a charity I would think they would want to sell and raise money. Used to find nice things there reasonably priced but not any more. Price it to sell or run some discounts. read more

Amazing store with amazing prices and student discounts! I would definitely come back here and I will be coming here every chance that I get! read more

LifeSavers Foundation - Thrift Stores Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I purchased two bags of mixed jewelry for craft, thinking of giving to an girly autistic teen who likes to make her own jewelry. It was embarrassing that one of the bags was just full of trash. For real!!! They were pieces of thin, cheap pieces "to make jewelry" but they were all glued to each other with a weird colored glue, I basically had to throw everything in the trash just because it was useless. I love charity stores. Sometimes I am in a mood for just donate some money, but sometimes I am in the mood to buy some bargain to myself or to give to someone. But when I buy, I expect at least to be useful instead of throwing money in the trash. With those 5 bucks I could have bought something much more decent for that girl. Hope the store stop selling junk, packed in tiny bags as useful craft jewelry. read more

Love this little resale place with a big heart. The process are right and the selection is great! The people who work there are always friendly. I go out of my way to stop here when I'm nearby. read more

I love this place! I wondered in a few weeks ago while making a rare outing and to be honest they could not have been nicer ladies working there! I found some amazing treasures and I will for sure be back. It seems like they have additional discounts off frequently, so you may want to check out the signs out front! I will definitely be back!! read more

Store has really changed but not for the good. New staff is particularly indifferent, one lady is just mean and rude. Areas are Organized but whole store is filthy. Considering their strict requirements for masks/ covid prevention it would be better served to clean the place, wash down everything and sanitize. read more

My first time here and I'm pretty impressed with all their furniture. It's relatively new, but kind of pricey. I don't think it's overpriced but it's not a place where you'll find a desk for under $100. They range from $50-600. I need to redecorate my room soon so I was looking around for good prices. I asked the lady and she said they have new stuff every week. There's other things too like clothes, shoes , and purses but it's more for older women and men. I'll come back again to see if there's anything for me. read more

LifeSavers Foundation - Really cool stuff! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Richardson, Texas

See all

Weird little place, not bad, just weird! Though they call themselves "upscale resale" they kind of are, and kind of aren't. Lots of furniture, some funky grandma-mid-century, which I like, but not exactly mid-century modern, and at pretty high prices considering it's not in the best condition and not traditionally collectible. Some really 80's stuff too--and way overpriced there as well. Clothing all seemed to be in good shape, they have their regular section, where prices range from 5-10 per piece, which is not unreasonable, but it is more than the good will or SA or Thrift Giant. Then there's the boutique thrift, with the higher-end brands, and prices there seemed quite good! There's also a decent variety of plus and petite for such a small store, though I didn't see any talls. Bottom line: I imagine this is a good place to go regularly to score that occasional amazing "find", but if you stop in periodically, you'll probably be disappointed. read more

I am always overwhelmed by how kind and helpful the employees here are. Fantastic store with a great selection!

I loved it! Got two sweaters and some jeans. SuPer kind staff. Very clean. And the atmosphere is very kind. A BOGO sale is going on so I spent ever less than I originally expected to spend. 10/10 would recommend and would go again! read more

This is a garage sale without the trouble of going to people's homes. This business sells high-quality donations. Profits benefit the Prestonwood Pregnancy Center, a faith-based non-profit organization. I shop here because I believe buying used clothing is better, for the economy and the environment, than buying new. I can count on this place to have a nice shirt or pair of pants. read more

I think because I'm an avid shopper of the gigantic Goodwill and Salvation Army, this boutique sized resale store didn't do it for me. As a curvy fashionista, I didn't really see anything that caught my eye. Good store for someone who likes the smaller shops. I'll stick to my thrift warehouses. read more

Sold something they were holding for me. Drove 45 minutes for them to be shady. An organization that lies isn't a place to buy from.

I found perfectly like-new jeans for $5.99 each. Seriously excited! Gap, Talbots (we're talking $70+ jeans!) and Eddie Bauer to name a few. I got adorable clothes for a new grandchild, also. There are some really great deals here. The proceeds go to help unplanned pregnancies. I love that. I tried to get a wardrobe into my car. I wasn't able to get it in but the clerk did a valiant job trying. I was visiting the area from hours away, so only had my car. I'm sad I can't drive down more than once a year to this store. read more

Lots of good quality clothing at uber reasonable prices. Also some gently used furniture and a few housewares. This thrift shop is run by the Lifesavers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports single and pregnant women in crisis. Would be worth a stop whether or not it was for a good cause! read more

Love this place. Shopped there a few times. Mink jkt for $60! Very nice shoes $15. Real amber jewelry $8. Good deals on furniture. What's not to like ?!? read more

This is ONE GREAT RESALE SHOP! Loaded with gently used and even more-gently priced designer clothes for women, in addition to lots of career pieces, casual, et al. Clothing for the ENTIRE family - great men's shirts - kids' clothes from newborn on up - shoes for everyone. Wide selection of Wrangler shirts (new) for men. PLUS - and get this - THEY SELL FURNITURE, and most of it's brand new! You won't believe the good prices. Nice staff to help you or just leave you to find your own treasures. The dollar rack is for items missing buttons or just out of season. read more

Overpriced place. It's a release store not a department store. A dollar less doesn't make it a better buy.
