Goodwill

I have visited this store a couple of times and have never been able to find anything good. The store looks big on the outside but feels tiny when you go in. Their selection of electronics and used music is very small. I haven’t looked at the cloths section but I’m afraid that this goodwill just doesn’t carry the type of merchandise that I like to buy in a goodwill store.

I like this Goodwill, my second favorite after the one on Westheimer in Montrose. This one is smaller. I left with 3 items which should attest to my luck here! I found the perfect poster frame unopened for $ 2, a giant Christmas cofffee mug (seriously Goodwill is the place to go for Christmas-​y coffee mugs any time of the year), and a book I had been wanting to read for dirt cheap.

Good stuff but prices are to high for used stuff. But ive been seeing this all over the Houston area. In Dallas this prices are about half the cost. I think ill just shop at the Goodwills in Dallas when i drive up there.

This Goodwill used to be one of the best in town in terms of selection+price. I used to find high end vintage/​mod clothes, furniture, china/​silverware and knick-​knacks for a lot less. And then over the last year year or two, the stock started thinning and what you find now is more «new» stuff (things from the last 5 – 10 years). Which is still good in terms of clothes, but not other stuff. The prices have also been increased sharply over the last year and half (almost double). Not sure if this is in response to the increasing traffic to the store. The place is also much more crowded now, even during weekdays. The people who work here are very nice though – friendly, courteous and very helpful.

This store is awesome! I am in thrift stores several times a week and this one is now at the top of my list. Juicy Couture Tweed Jacket w/​elbow patches only $ 9.99, Hale Bob Dress $ 9.99, Free People Dress for $ 9.99 … click here to see pictures:

Omg!!! One of my favorite Goodwill locations. I found so many cute blouses and skirts for church. As well as a few cute outfits for my little ones. I was in a bit of hurry so I was only shopping for an hour and I feel like I need to go back soon with plenty of time to spare. This location is definitely worth the far drive. I bought 2 outfits for myself and 3 outfits for my little ones and I spent under $ 40. I got lots of compliments on my outfits. I love knowing that I’m saving my husband lots of $$$ now that I am a bargain thrift store shopper and a stay at home mom :))
I will be returning soon to check out their home décor and knic knacks and of course clothes.

Overall I like Goodwill stores… especially for costume shopping. While smaller than some of the others I’ve been to I found this one nicely laid out and didn’t have the moth ball/​dust smell some of the others have. The staff was friendly and while I didn’t find anything to buy this time around, I’ll be back at some point for sure.

Did NOT think I would enjoy shopping at Goodwill this much!
We were very tight on time, so we were only there for 10 minutes. But I got a nice Ann Taylor skirt for $ 6 and my husband got a nice Nike Golf polo for $ 4.
When I have kids, I’m shopping here for cheap clothes!
Next time I come, I’m going to bring in a bunch of stuff to donate!

This is kind of like a more organized Ross or Marshall’s. I come here a couple of times a week on my way to the gym just to browse. On rare occasions, I’ll find something worth purchasing. I recently scored a Kate Spade bag in perfect condition for a mere $ 10-​and yes, it was authentic! I got a David Yurman-​esque bracelet that I wear all the time for a couple of dollars, and a few Ann Taylor skirts that were the perfect length for my petite proportions. Not everything here is in great condition, but if you have enough patience to peruse the racks, you’ll definitely come across some steals. Of course, clean your pre-​loved merchandise thoroughly before wearing or using.

It is with EXTREME trepidation that I write this, because I don’t want all of you to rush over and take all my good deals, but I want to help my fellow Unilocalers! Let me preface this by saying I have never really been a thrift store shopper, but would go to garage sales with my mom when i was little and always got a thrill out of finding something fatastic for a buck. Fast forward 20 years, and I had just moved back to Houston after a 3 year stint in DC and needed a new professional wardrobe after landing a killer job. What to do with not a ton of money to shell out on $ 200 suits? A friend recommened checking out Goodwill in the Town and Country area. After giving her a yucky face, I wandered over to the Goodwill (turns out it was 2 miles from my house) BOY-​was i surrpised! Some of my recent finds there has been a gorgeous Tory Burch work dress for $ 9.99! Ferragamo shoes for $ 12.00, super cute suits from tahari, and Nordstrom for $ 9.99 and lots of cute button down shirts for $ 5.99. I get complimented daily from the people at work for the clothes I have gotten there, and get satisfaction in knowing that I have saved a TON on clothes! My friend bought some super cute baby clothes too. It’s my new favorite place!

Never having seen a ‘select’ Goodwill before, I had to go in and see what exactly made it so special. It’s not enormous, but it’s a lot cleaner and there’s more higher-​end items than other stores. And everything is ironed. That’s more than I can say about my own closet.
Of course the prices aren’t as dirt cheap as your standard Goodwill, but still reasonable. I paid $ 10 for a Gap shirt and a pair of Adidas track pants, so I consider that a successful thrift excursion. T-​shirts on the other hand probably aren’t worth $ 3 a piece.
