Austin Pets Alive! Thrift
If you love helping animals while shopping, this is the place for you. All proceeds from the store help fund the innovative life-saving programs at Austin Pets Alive! This thrift store is cozy, cute, and always plays great music.
Room Service Vintage
Born in 1981 off the North Loop, this vintage furniture store is the place to go if you’re looking to do some interior decorating. Their pieces do sell fast though so we recommend staying up to date on their showroom items via their social media pages.
The Next to New Shop
Clean, well organized, and some of the nicest staff are all found at Next to New. This consignment store has been open since 1959 and continues to donate proceeds to various organizations around town. Find clothes, furniture, antiques, and more!
Top Drawer Crestview
If there’s one thing that Top Drawer Crestview understands, it’s that less is more. While much smaller than the original Top Drawer, its showroom boasts super funky and unique clothing jewelry, and more. Proceeds from this location benefit Project Transitions, which helps Austinites living with HIV/AIDS.
Located in South Austin, Thrift Town carries a little bit of everything, except for furniture. Pro tip: check their website before you go so you know what kind of items are discounted that day. We also recommend joining their VIP program. You’ll get $5 off $15 for every $100 you spend, plus other great discounts.
Goodwill Outlet
If you have the patience for it, you can find all kinds of deep discount deals at the Goodwill Outlet, also known as “the bins.” There are two locations in Austin. The south location can be found at 6505 Burleson Road while the north store is located at 2300 Scarbrough Drive.
