Shopping Tips

  • Visit Friday, Saturday, or Sunday mornings right at 11AM for the first look at newly added inventory before the best items get picked over.
  • Go back more than once — Treasure City Thrift's stock rotates regularly, so a visit that comes up empty on furniture might be followed by one where you score big.
  • Bring cash as a backup, and come with a general idea of what you need but stay open-minded; the best finds here are usually the unexpected ones.
  • Check clothing sizes beyond your own — East Austin's donor pool is diverse, and great pieces sometimes get misfiled or overlooked in neighboring size sections.
  • Don't rush. The store rewards browsers. Give yourself a full hour, especially on weekends, and work through the sections methodically rather than skimming.
