Winner: Texas Thrift
Multiple locations
There are two types of people in the world: those who thrift and those who just don’t get it. If you’re in the former club and didn’t just arrive in Taco Town yesterday, chances are you’re well acquainted with Texas Thrift. Its multiple stores around the city are usually full to bursting with clothes, electronics, bedding, furniture and pretty much anything else folks tire of and want to unload. Proving that one person’s trash is in fact another’s treasure, our recent visits have uncovered everything from a cute pair of Winnie The Pooh overalls and an old quinceañera dress to vintage glassware and VHS tapes of ’80s horror flicks. Y’know, the kind of treasures thrifters just can’t live without.
