Salvation Army: I-35

5329 N I H 35
Austin, TX 78723

Closed Sundays

I'll come right out and say that I don't like The Salvation Army. Their politics suck, and their stores generally do, too. Occaisonally they are good for furniture (there's another Austin location I'll review at a later date that has some good furniture options), but usually they aren't worth the time and self-loathing shopping there requires.

This particular Salvation Army, located right across the parking lot from the Texas Thrift Store, is worse than usual. The stock is sparse and the store smells really bad. The most recent clothing I saw was at least a few years old, the quality was bad, and the organization was, as far as I could tell, non-existant. Even the furniture stock was poor, nothing worth a second look.

I spent less than five minutes in this store, yet felt pretty confident I had seen everything they had to offer, and I left feeling vaguely unclean. This is one you may as well skip.
