This is an old-school thrift store, more like the ones of my youth and less like Austin's rather uppity Goodwill network. There is a lot of crap here. Clothes that are torn, stained, or just plain nasty. Things that smell like moth balls or need to be washed really badly. The whole place is fairly dirty and not very well organized, and the dressing rooms are tiny and atrocious. I wouldn't even attempt to use the bathroom here. The book and houseware sections are not worth your time. This is a store that requires patience.
However, if you are a patient type, it's worth a gander. Why? Because it's cheap. Shirts are generally $.99 to $2.49, pants and dresses under $5.00. Plus they do that thing were a certain color of tag is 50% each day, so you can definitely find some bargains, if you are willing to look. On my last trip, for example, I found a fantastic mod-style vintage dress for $4.49.
There is no seperate plus-sized section in this store and in general the larger sized offerings are minimal. Also, the store has a no returns policy--everything is sold as is--so be sure of your purchases.
