Salvation Army Family Store

Let’s just say this was the best 72 $ I have ever spent… And may I be so bold as to say, IN MY LIFE! I’ve been recently more into thrifting than ever before. I’ve had moods where I’d thrift here and there but this past few months, that’s all I’ve been shopping. So, I decided to check out other thrift stores in Dallas that Unilocalers enjoyed, and through Unilocal I discovered this gem.
As recommended by everyone, I went on a Wednesday, and my goodness, this place was packed! I was there at noon and there were no carts available, I did luck out as someone was leaving, I grabbed theirs.
Anyway, 2 hours later, I left with 5 pairs of shoes (Zara, Alfani, POUR LA VICTOIRE!!!, a brand spanking new pair of Nina heels and another random brand pair marked leather shoes). ALL in amazing condition! Okay as if that wasn’t enough, I left with a brand new pair of Ralph Lauren pants that fit like they were made for me, a couple of tops (2 j crew, pure dkny, freaking THEORY, banana republic, and a couple more). I had to stop myself cuz I had initially budgeted no more than 50 $ but who would deny these deals!!? The theory top was 3.99 plus 50% off!!! Whattttt! Oh and it was in amazing condition too! Right as I was in line waiting to check out, I catch a glimpse of this gorgeous skirt peaking out from a rack, I didn’t even try this on, I just grabbed it and left, turns out it had its original tags brand new costing $ 193 and I got it for half of 12.99 $
I swear my sister couldn’t believe my luck! I vow I will be going here every Wednesday if only to giggle at people’s faces when they realize I’m decked head to toe in awesome brands all under 10 $ for a full outfit!
Seriously RUN to this store! It’s the best in town!
Ps: excuse my dramatization, I swear if you had my lucky day you’d be this excited too!

This thrift store is incredible!!! Tons of everything!!! Super reasonably priced, very clean, friendly staff!!! I could’ve spent hours in here… And next time, I will!

That time I found a super cute, vintage Marc Jacobs bag for $ 14.99 that originally sold for $ 350 for myself, and a Tabitha Webb dress for $ 1.99 that originally cost £300 that fit my bestie like a glove. PS, both are gently used. I’m quite impressed with myself.
Seriously, I am not a good thrift store shopper. Hell, most times I can’t even stomach Ross (minus the kitchen and home goods section– that section is the bomb) due to the disorganization and things being ramrod together. I just hate digging through things. But I must say that striking gold is a super rewarding feeling. I must hit this place up on a Wednesday. I’ll let everyone pick up the labels while I scoop up the fabulous designers.

Wednesday is ½ price day on all
all clothing… as has been previously noted.
They get a lot of cool items… if you are looking
for «nicer» furniture… the HH location is best.
If you just need a cheap sofa for a college dorm
or because you do not have a lot of $ to
spend, check the other locations.

We live nearby and find this place to be a decent thrift store, with the footnote that on weekends it gets overrun with kids that don’t seem to have much supervision.
The selection is great and pricing is mostly fair. Worth a stop if you wanna get your Mackelmore on and pop some tags.

This is regarding furniture pick up. If I could give them no stars I would. And that’s sad… because on its face, it’s behind a wonderful cause. Where to begin…
I was in the process of cleaning out my apartment, and I decided to do some good in the process by donating some of my furniture. After calling in, they scheduled the pickup several days out and gave me an 8-​hour window when they would arrive. I blocked out my schedule that day to make sure I’d be home during this ridiculously long period of time. That morning I called at 8AM (as instructed) to see if they would give me a smaller time frame of estimated arrival. They told me between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Much more do-​able.
Still the driver never called me when he arrived. Instead he talked to a complete stranger (property manager) who does not have a key to my apartment, did not schedule the appointment, does not own my furniture and whose name is not Heli M. No phone call to me personally as I waited for my scheduled pick up in my car outside my apartment. I took off of work during this period for their arrival, waiting 2 hours for this no call, no show. When I called to see what happened and why they hadn’t come after waiting for them at the entrance in my car, the driver was extremely hostile claiming I had not been there. When I asked to speak with the supervisor, he initially claimed that he was not present. Upon being persistent, the driver handed the phone over to a supervisor who reprimanded me for not being home (which I was) and refused to return and pick up the items.
Aside from my own personal stress and inconvenience, it’s unfortunate that I had to throw away perfectly good, useful furniture (mattress, bed frame, dining table, book case) that could have gone to someone in need because of their driver’s incompetence. Furthermore, when I tried to contact their headquarters to address the matter, it was a lost cause. No response. Great cause… great store… god awful when it comes to scheduling furniture pickup. On that route, I’d go with another charity.

Ok this spot is official. 50% off clothes… all clothes on Wednesdays. That’s lovely. Furniture, couches etc were legit. Need to get your mom a simple computer to surf the web, they got’em for like $ 150. Only complaint… their Men’s clothing is pretty weak. Large basic jeans selection but that’s really it. Great clothes for kids esp girls.

Great location! This place is truly a staple especially on sale items. Please don’t overlook the room section in the back for women’s clothes. If you are in the market for furniture, then definitely make the trip here. You will not leave empty handed. The area is neat and organized for whatever you are looking for!

I needed to donate some household goods and clothes that wouldn’t fit into one of those drop boxes you see in parking lots. I finally found this donation center and I’m happy that I donated my stuff here rather than an impersonal parking lot drop box. The people seemed genuinely happy and thankful to take the items off my hands and I have a good feeling that the items will go to someone that truly needs them. I have not been into the store, but if you need to clear out you storage area this is a worthy place to donate good things you don’t need anymore.

This location has an amazing selection of furniture as well as clothing.
The options for all rooms are vast, but I do believe half the store is furniture. Which is perfect because I’m in college, and can’t afford big names!

One of the best thrift stores I’ve ever been to! They keep it clean and the staff are all friendly. The furniture is a bit pricy but they have 25 & 50% discounts if it is there longer than 2 – 4 weeks.

I think I found a string of rose pearls for 4.99! At least, they felt heavy-​ish and thus not plastic, and I think they were real. But I’m so excited!
Honestly, I think Genesis is more my kind of place since it has a lot more women’s attire, but this Salvation Army sports a lot of books, videos, appliances, furniture, and lots of other stuff!

This is a review of the donation area, not the store-​proper. I’ve been helping a friend unload the furniture from his storage unit (I have a truck, he doesn’t) to this place so he can get a tax write-​off, and so it can help the Salvation Army. The crew that takes donations does not just take ‘anything.’ They sent us away one day with some furniture that they realized was made out of particle board. There was nothing wrong with it — but it’s heavy and no one buys it — so they don’t take it. I can appreciate that. They are careful in unloading your vehicle and move quickly. You’re in and out pretty fast. This is a great place to get rid of things you’re no longer using, but that still have life in them and that can benefit someone else.

The clothing is priced a tad too high in the front of the store, but in the boutique section in the back it’s more reasonable. Go on Wednesday’s when clothing is 50% off. If you need furniture always check here first. They rock that scene. I saw a gorgeous mink coat for under $ 200 but I could never purchase with a clear conscious. Salvation Army is my second favorite charity so I frequent this place often. They do good things for people who need it most. Check them out.

This place just isn’t worth it, at least not for clothes. There are two areas for clothes, the front and the back area called the «boutique». Both areas are organized only by type and sort of by color, but not in any way by size. I truly can’t tell a difference between clothes in the front part of the store and stuff in the boutique, other than price. The boutique stuff is just priced higher. There is some pretty good jewelry in the cases, and every so often they get vintage brooches.
For me: lack of quality + lack of organization + overpriced = not worth it. From now on, if I visit here, it will likely be an in-​and-​out trip to check the jewelry selection.
Also, the guy at the front wouldn’t let me bring my closed water bottle into the store because they «don’t allow drinks», which is stupid.

One of the more overpriced thrift stores I’ve been, too. On Tuesdays, clothing is half off but still it’s slim pickings! They have some amazing pieces of furniture, whose price tags are unfortunately, a tad shy of reasonable. I bought a full length cast-​iron mirror that had pink nail polish crap on it for $ 80 — that’s not the type of deal you’d expect from a charity organization. That’s more of a sale at your Macy’s or World Market. But I was desparate for a last-​minute birthday present, in my case.
There are some things that will be priced thrift store appropriate. Like some of their picture frames. Random seasonal decorations. Brands that Salvation army can’t recognize. But things like Merona (Target brand) and other mainstream items will be priced much higher… for a reason beyond me (well, I guess I know why, but that’s besides the point).
The point: this place is a little more expensive than other places, say Goodwill. They do, however, have a large furniture and clothing selection. Buyer alert: You can always try lowering the price with the manager. Prices on furniture go down by 25% every 2 weeks that they’re still here, granted, furniture doesn’t camp out here very long. So if it’s the 12^th day of the 14 day period, you might be able to slide a very much needed 25% discount in to make the purchase more reasonable.

OK, so I’ve been coming to this place on and off for almost 15 years. One of the few purchases I ever regret not making in my life was this huge orange carpeted structural sofa that I saw here. When I went back 2 days later, it was gone :(That was seriously 10 years ago.
Anyway, this place is usually hit or miss. There have been times when I’ll go, and there’s NOTHING that I want. Sometimes their stuff is way overpriced. I’m sorry, but $ 22 for some used shoes (like Rampage or Unlisted) is NUTS. Yesterday I saw a little 1^st aid kit marked for $ 18, and I saw the exact same kit for $ 4.99 at Big Lots last week.
OK, I’ll talk about the good stuff now. 2 days ago, I found some truly amazing items here. I scored some BEAUTIFUL earrings for $ 10, some cute shoes for $ 8.99, a little fold up cart to help me with my groceries for $ 10, and some NEW BCBG wedges for $ 17.99. Also, on my way out, a bed caught my eye and literally stopped me in my tracks. My mom and I went back in to look at it, and while there is some minor (fixable) damage on some of the wooden details, this thing is probably the most beautiful bed I’ve ever seen in real life. This is a Rococo bed, and there are details on the foot board and the side rails, and I talked my mom into getting it for herself. I’m going to fix that baby up and make her the most beautiful guest room ever. I’m thinking black – heavily lacquered.
Anyway, awesome trip :) I’ll surely be back to find more treasures.

stopped by at the Sal on Wednesday after reading all the great reviews. found an interesting painting for $ 34.99 hopped in my hoopty and drove to the road show to find out the price vaule is $ 349,000,000. So I sold it and I am taking all 57 of my Unilocal friends on a cruise.
Ok wishful thinking, but Seriously I did find an Escada sweater for $ 4.00 and a cute lil BCBG dress ;0)
Parking was Crazy… Wednesday is ½ all clothing. Some tool shouted hey blondie. Other then that creeper my shopping experience was grand.
as the Terminator says it best «I’ll be bawck» and yes I can quote T I own the T2 pinball machine

Like others — this is one of my favorite thrift stores in DFW. I can seriously go visit this store every day.
They have some really good deals and some not-​so-​good deals so you need to shift through stuff when you go but ive scored a huge antique buffet for about $ 200 and various vintage pyrex bowls for about $ 1.
Customer service is spotty but I dont hold it against them.
If I’m ever in the mood to do some thrift shopping this is the first place I ever consider going.

Thanks for the tip on this place, Katie! This is a huuuuuuge thrift store! Expect the usual thriftstoredness? here like bored employees, and a certain stench in the air… but you should also expect a (like Katie C said) GIGANTIC space filled to the brim with men’s, women’s and kid’s clothing PLUS a lot of furniture. I would definitely stop in here before going to any furniture stores!
I cruised around the racks and racks of clothing for a bit before walking back into the «boutique» room where they have a selection of nicer name brand clothing. Was any of it good? Not really. BUT I did find a pair of designer jeans for $ 14. When I took them to the counter it ended up being $ 7 because unknowingly I was in there on their half off special. I’ll take it… after a very rigorous cleaning.
Besides clothing and furniture, they had a couple other rooms filled with home décor (very country), luggage, books, and records. I found a Steve Martin record for a buck! As far as thrift stores go, this place is hella good.
