Thrift City USA

After making a donation of two leather blue chairs one rug one child’s coat and an umbrella I was disgusted by the way I was treated at checkout. I had several items I was purchasing for my nieces when I was told a gap girls jacket size XXL didn’t have the tag attached so it couldn’t be sold. The chasier explained that she was unable to sell me the gap jacket due to the pink tag (50%) today making it about 3.50. I was appauld, knowing the tag was attached to the jacket upon checkout. I still purchased the other items and tried to negotiate some kind of option so I wouldn’t miss out on such a great deal. Unfortunately the cashier stated it was policy, she could not hold the jacket, or figure something out on the spot to accommodate me (the customer). I feel the cashier didn’t want to sale me the jacket for whatever reason for that price and instead ripped the tag off. I have never experienced this type of treatment, being I shop here at least once a week. I cannot see myself going back.

Great selection. Generally over-​priced, go there for sale days and it’s worth it.

I usually hate doing a «pros and cons» list for reviews, because I feel like it’s too simple, but it’s going to be the easiest way to sum this place up. Red, White and Blue is my usual thrift stop on the Westbank, so naturally I am going to compare this store to my «go to».
Pros:
They accept credit cards
They have fitting rooms
The store is really well organized. Not only are things organized by gender, but they are organized by size and style with big signs (noted improvement since Jennifer B’s visit).
No long lines
Cheap cheap cheap: they had some decent looking tops for as low as $ 2
Great selection of kid’s clothes for low prices. Considering how quickly little kids grow out of things, why waste your money paying retail?
Cons:
Abysmal electronics selection and a lot of what they do have is broken.
A lot of the things they have are stained or torn, so be sure to check each item carefully.
Quality of merchandise is less than other thrift stores, but there is much more of it.
Housewares are piled on top of each other and completely unorganized
I HATE the area where this store is located and there are pan handlers in the parking lot that store owners do nothing about.
There you have it– a solid three star rating. This spot is worth checking out, but don’t expect to find anything spectacular.

This place use to be the place. Now i see its a fraud. If you go there in the morning you will see the employees taking all the suppose to be 75% off stuff off the rack putting it in a basket. Why advertise 75%off tags and all you do is take them and bring them to the back. Keep your eyes open it never fail. They dont speak to you when they make eye contact. One time i spoke to heavy set guy hes the main one that takes the 75% tags to the back and he rolled his eyes. Most of the stuff is over priced as well. I say stay away.

I really like this thrift store. Today I went in looking for workout pants and second hand has never bothered me. I bought 7 pairs of work out pants and a cute top to wear out one night for $ 14! Can’t beat that. Most were name brand Victoria Secret, aero and dAnskin. If you like a bargain check them out.

I used to love this thrift store… it was my go-​to thrift shop.
Then they removed the fitting rooms.
Seriously.
There’s no place to try on clothing before buying it.
So…yeah…you just have to hope it fits, I guess?
Or buy a bunch of stuff and bring it home to try on and then bring back all the stuff that doesn’t fit quite right or doesn’t go together like you thought it would or whatever and then wait in a line to get a refund on all the not-​quite-​right stuff that you would have normally just put back on the rack after discovering you didn’t actually want it while TRYING IT ON IN THE NOW-​NONEXISTENT DRESSING ROOM.
I’ve never before seen a thrift store go from «pretty cool» to «utterly useless and absolutely annoying» in literally a single day.
With the removal of the fitting rooms, Thrift City has managed to accomplish this noteworthy transformation.
Not going here again to shop. Not going here again to drop off my never-​used or gently-​used clothes. I’ll start donating and shopping elsewhere.
Did I mention that this place sells clothing and has no fitting rooms?

Open on Sunday. That’s the only reason we ended up here. My daughter had to dress like an «old person» for school on Monday and I forgot about this until Sunday. Being one of the very few thrift stores open on Sunday, Thrift City as on the agenda.
It’s incredibly disorganized. I haven’t found a thrift store in NOLA to organize by size (irritating) but at least most of them sort by color… this place doesn’t have any sort of organization system that I’ve been able to see.
Good prices, though. I left with a dress, hat, and wool shawl for about $ 15.

This a great thrift stores. I have been to a few in the area and have to give this stores 2. Not only are the prices better but they have ½ sale off everything twice a month. Another for me

finally got to go. great prices (in comparison to red white and blue down the street) and great things.
alot of clothes (this is mostly what they have, i saw a great leather jacket for $ 7.99!), very lackluster on things like cameras/​electronics, tons of books

Great store and products! They are reasonably priced and offer military and senior discounts. Highly recommend visiting!

The store is large. LOTS of clothes and shoes. Large barrels of Mardi Gras beads and pre-​bagged stuffed toys (about 12 — 15 per bag for $ 5.99). The toys weren’t new, but most were in good to very good condition. The store could be a little cleaner. The clothes were well organized, but other sections of the store weren’t. It is open on Sundays and accepts credit cards for payment.

Three reasons why this is my favorite thrift store in N’awlins
1. The staff is super-​friendly, always willing to take a minute to say hello or help you shop. Can’t say enough about the difference this makes.
2. They have plenty of dressing rooms, so I can try on crazy combinations or items I might not normally buy straight off the rack for fear they would not fit right.
3. The prices are really cheap, so just in case I do bring an item home that hugs in all the wrong places, I can donate it back without feeling bad.
They also have a pretty good selection of books, toys and puzzels. I usually walk out with a few good steals. As an added bonus, they take plastic and give military and SC discounts. I haven’t noticed a good selection of furniture or household items, but I’m not usually looking for that sort of thing

Now that we have a house, it is time to stock up on Holiday stuff months in advance. Found a whole bunch of Christmas stuff here just after Christmas and the amazingly nice lady at the counter held it for us for an hour while we went to get some food. Really decent for a thrift store and you couldn’t ask for a nicer staff.

Another great Thrift Store on the Westbank!
There are always tons of treasures at this thrift store. You have to dig a little bit harder as they do not organize the clothing by color or size, but there is always great stuff to be found.
They have great clothes, accessories, household good, books, furniture & plenty of what-​nots!

Dude. So good. I like this place because it’s fairly well organized, and has new stuff every week. It’s cheaper than goodwill, and open on Sundays. They have a ton of «stuff» that isn’t clothes– small appliances, knick knacks, etc that keeps my husband occupied while I rummage through the dresses.
Minus one star because they used to have a «vintage» section and a «better» section, which would showcase their brand name or legitimately vintage items. Both were gone when I went 2 days ago. BOOO HISS BOOO.
Definitely check this place out. I usually leave with armloads of stuff. Most of it I actually need.
