What the map tells us about thrifting in San Antonio

8 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
The San Antonio thrift circuit
Plot these 22 on a map and the day plans itself: Goodwill on 406 West Commerce Street, The Salvation Army, Thrift Thru on 2021 Ste 1 San Pedro Avenue, Junk Depot on 2608 South Presa Street, Boysville Thrift Store on 307 West Olmos Drive, Re-Sell on 1303 Castroville Road, Goodwill on 3401 Fredericksburg Road, and Salvation Army Family Store on 301 Southwest Military Drive.

Thrifting tips for San Antonio
Thrifting in San Antonio goes better with a little prep:
- Learn the colour-tag system at Goodwill. Many charity shops discount by tag colour on rotation. Ask which colour is half price this week — it changes regularly.
- Check for completeness at The Salvation Army. Board games missing pieces, cameras missing caps, tools missing bits — open the box before it goes in your bag.
- Shop the wrong season on purpose. Coats are cheapest in spring, fans in autumn. Off-season racks are picked over less and priced to move.
- Follow the shop if it's online. Some stores post new arrivals or sale days on social media. One follow costs nothing and catches the announcements.
Good to know

The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
Prices at San Antonio's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — San Antonio included.
