Sand Dollar Thrift Store

This is one of the thrift stores that makes you itch when you go inside. Some items are definitely overpriced. It seems that this thrift store is pricing according to the neighborhood (heights) versus pricing to sell. I agree with Zack C. It does seem as if someone grabbed a bunch of stuff and threw it in the building and just put any price tag on them.

This is a very old thrift store. There are good finds in there but you gotta dig.

Waaayyyyyy too overpriced. Wide Variety but nothing is organized and the store is kind of depressing within itself. Its as if someone just grabbed a bunch of junk and threw it in a building with some price tags.

Friendly personnel and prices, there’s plenty of parking. Plan to arrive early to get the best items. See you there :)

Big EH. I’ve experienced so many better places for thrifting. I’ve been known to walk out of just about every single thrift store with at least one item. Here, I couldn’t find anything worth my time.
Found what I thought was a cute skirt on the rack but upon further inspection, realized it was once a maxi dress that someone took a pair of scissors to and did a shoddy job with it. Lots of outdated and out of style items here, probably won’t return.

This has to be my favorite thrift store in the Heights. Every month they have a «everything ½ off sale» which is superb (although, they lock the fitting rooms on those days so you have to guess precisely or try it on over your clothes).
I’ve actually found all of my favorite skirts there for very, very cheap prices. Even on days that they don’t have sales, everything is exceptionally cheap. But, one things for sure, if you’re looking for some good shoes you won’t find them there.
It can get pretty messy and unorganized at times, but if you have the patience and time I’d recommend you to take a visit.

I’ve always scanned through these Unilocal reviews before visiting anywhere, and to be honest a majority of the reviews for this place ALMOST deterred me from visiting here. I forced one of my friends to tag along with me, so I wouldn’t have to face the horror alone. It actually wasn’t as bad as I expected; maybe because I just enjoy the process of thrifting.
The Unilocal reviewers, were right on point when describing the common flaws of the clothes sold here and what to be cautious of (a few racks weren’t even worth going through, because they seemed so unappealing).
The good news is that we both ended up purchasing something for super cheap, yet there is a slim chance we’ll return for another experience.

Semi organized. Hit or miss on finding a gem but worth the stop if you have a couple of hours to waste. I stop in every time I’m in the area and their are different sales each day.

Very messy and unorganized. If you have the time to really move things around lift up other things you may find something decent. There are things here that shouldn’t even be sold, maybe just donated to those who can’t afford anything at all. I won’t be back as I just found it too junky and the items of very low quality. I mean some things just shouldn’t be sold and just given to those less fortunate. And the pricing was all over the place… they also write on the items in read color pencils… which works against you when you buy the stuff.

Tshirts organized by color. That’s probably the funniest thing about this place. Your typical thrift store. I never find anything in these stores… my friends have all the luck!

Sand Dollar has super cheap prices but it’s pretty messy and unorganized. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty and digging around you can find some great deals.

This is where you go to dig, dig, dig for hidden treasures among the racks. Love that they organize by color! Everything is super cheap and they’re always putting out more stuff. If you have any sort of fashion sense, you can put together some really cute outfits from the stuff you find at Sand Dollar.
I wouldn’t consider some of the clothes they sell to be resale-​worthy, though. A lot of pit stains, tears, and pilled fabrics.

Sand Dollar is the last remaining thrift store in the Heights. I used to shop here all of the time when I was a teen, when Purple Heart (later known as Value Village) were right down the street. It hasn’t changed since the 90s.
You can find some good clothes finds here, but be prepared to make an event out of coming here. You MUST dig. LOTS. And if you love the rush you get when you find that awesome vintage item, then come here. There’s plenty of so-​so items to wade through, but it’s worth it. Also, if you want to score on some second-​hand books, then this is a GREAT place for that.
Happy Thrifting!

I can’t really give this place a good review considering I spent 10 minutes in there. The things I did find were overpriced and the place was pretty filthy.
Haha. Doubt I’ll give it a second shot.

This is the best place to find adult clothes and ahemmm… ladies this is where I score Lululemon tops, pants and water bottles for a $ 1.85– .99 cents, yes I said lulu for a $ 1.85 or 99 cents…
Yes my secret is out… I love Lulu but love it even more for than less than two dollars… Sometimes the stuff still has the original tags on it… It even go’s half off once a month!!! Score!!!

I’ve gotta admit it. I’ve found some of my favorite pieces of funky clothing from this Sand Dollar. You gotta dig, but not too hard, and then BAM. You come a cross a kewl tee or retro looking dress.
Lots of unique finds here, from clothing to housewares.

There is an overwhelming amount of items in a dirty warehouse. Do the usual thrift store prep: wear a tank top & skirt so you don’t need to use a dressing room unless necessary, eat before you come, bring snacks and hand sanitizer, and leave plenty of time to dig. Also, be in the mood to dig.
Either this place is really picked over, which is possible based on the steady stream of customers during the brief time I was there, or their sources are not exciting. There are aisles and aisles of women’s tank tops, blouses, shorts, jeans (multiple aisles), dresses. I noticed brands of clothing popular in the 90s and old mall brands. The jeans were not hip washes. The denim shorts seemed too large and unflattering off the rack. I looked through the few chambray shirts, mostly old and faded. I did not find any venerable designer goods. If you want old 80s or 90s clothing, this place is pretty helpful. They also have a large selection of dishes and glasses.
They have half off clothing days, even better with their dirt cheap prices. There is a small parking lot out front, a larger one behind the store that is for patrons of the nearby businesses, and street parking.

Dirt cheap & unique finds. Huge selection of clothes, but beware of stains. A friend was trying on some jeans and behold a stain on the crotch! Talk about nasty. Dressing rooms were dirty and small, but you are thrifting after all.
Fun to dig, red tags are half price. Will go again with purell in hand.

I tried this place twice but mostly the items that are falling apart. It’s really picked over.

This thrift store is a good balance of cheap, organized and selection. Shirts are organized by color and type. There are dressing rooms.
If you are a hipster looking for vintage clothes –might as well go elsewhere. In fact, just go elsewhere so I can grab all the good items.
