Drew, agreed; I’m elated every time I find one. Of course, I want these places to succeed and labels and popularity often lead to profitability. However, I’m fond of Treasure City’s business model where the community is their top priority. Light on my pocketbook and high on customer loyalty.

It’s a shame that so many “thrift” shops have become trendy “vintage” shops. The junk has been reclassified as treasure, and the prices have been boosted accordingly. But believe it or not, even Los Angeles (where I’m located) still has a few hidden thrift stores with good deals. It’s great to hear that Austin has some too.

Thanks Betsy. Treasure City is where I go when I want to treat myself to a little gift. I’ve bought books, a fantastic swim cap from the 50s covered in hundreds of colored rubber flowers and a tiny ceramic hippo all for around a dollar each. It’s the most efficient way for me to win myself over on a budget.

I really enjoyed reading this post.
Treasure City looks like a theme park to me. I would love to go there.
