Thrifting in Texas

[ggmsmolly]

I clicked on this link hoping to find a plethora of information about thrift  shopping in Texas and was shocked to see the section blank. Come on ladies and gentlemen, Texas is full of thrift shops, especially in our area outside of Houston.

Share where the best thrift stores are in your area.  This fall I'm going to be in Livingston Texas and plan on heading down to the Houston area.  It's a long drive but I hope it will be worth it.  There are only a few thrift stores in Livingston and a few up in Lufkin that I've been to.  

Which side of Houston do you shop on?

In Dallas, I've found a lot of quality stuff at Goodwill. There are several locations in the metroplex, and they always have sales. I've found a few things at the Salvation Army on Inwood, but their prices are higher. At the Genesis Women's Shelter thrift store on Lemmon ave., I found some nice sweaters from the Gap and Ann Taylor. Haven't seen anything at the St. Vincent Thrift store, but it has a nice view of Bachman Lake from the parking lot. The Garland Road Thrift Store tends to have some nice things as well.

Try going to Waxahachie (About 30 miles south of Dallas on I-35E). There are 4-5 small shops and a couple of large ones. Prices are way cheaper than Goodwill or Salvation Army. (I like going to Waxahachie to see the carved faces on the courthouse.)

Hello,

The best thrift store I have found is the DAV. Located on Rock Island in Irving. Goodwill on Beltline is a good one just a bit pricey on some things. Upscale Thirft on Cheyenne is another great one. There is also one Beltline and Walnut Hill called Upscale Resale, I haven't been in that one yet. If you have, let me know how it is.

Hopes this helps out.

I like Garland Road Thrift in Dallas.  I also like the Goodwill in Mesquite but you have to watch the prices however their half price days are awesome!!!

I'm in Dallas. I like Garland Road Thrift too. Garland has some of the best thrift stores. Mesquite has a new one on Gross Road. I saw a lot of urban men's clothes really cheap with tags still on.

I see a trip to Garland Road thrift in my future..

I finally got around to Garland Rd Thrift and was somewhat disappointed. Some of their stuff was high. Like a no name pea coat for $49.95. I got a few nice things though.

I went across the street to that one and they were high too. I didn't get anything there.
