5 /5 Lauren Bouziane: This is the best thrift shop in Ellis County yet. Ive been thrifting between Waxahachie and Midlothian since I was a kid. Ive seen secondhand shops come and go, and many that have stayed have had to raise their prices and/or limit their hours considerably. They also accept donations and have a little free food pantry out front sometimes.
This shop has a good selection every time Ive been in, and their prices are almost always reasonable and the cheapest youll find nowadays. Its small, but packed and maintained well. The items arent junky or broken and stained.
Theres a counter with jewelry and higher end items at the registers, a shelf and rack of nicer shoes and bags, a shelf full of purses, totes, wallets, and backpacks. Racks of clothes for men and women and bins for the kiddos. Theres home decor, electronics, books, movies, CDs, toys, video games, craft supplies, etc.
As an expecting mom, I come here frequently to dig through the baby and kids stuff and always walk out with something. Theres a reward stamp card you receive the first time you spend $10, but because their prices are low for the items Im getting, I seldom hit $10, lol; however, after several visits and stamps achieved, you will get a discount off your next purchase.
On top of that, the volunteers who run it are incredibly kind and thoughtful; the Love Your Neighbor ministry really does a lot to help the Hachie community, whether its free food trucks or events to help folks with career needs or prayer. As a hijabi, theyre always so kind to me and I do love a good prayer.
As the economy gets harder to live in and our family grows, little local shops like these that help ease your pockets are essential; and the genuinely loving ministry that drives this place even more so.
