TRU Thrift Shop - Boulder, Colorado

When they opened in a different location the prices were high but then normalized. In the current store the prices were fine but have steadily out-paced inflation so they’re nuts. Sure, there’s a fair amount of nice stuff but it isn’t worth it.

Thrift stores have gotten trendy and prices reflect it. I’ve shopped antique stores with better prices and more accurate assessments of the value. I don’t expect thrift stores to try to sell a “fine (it was decent) linen (it was cotton) tablecloth” for $95 or an set of vintage napkins and placemats (not sure what they were since they were hermetically sealed) for $85. I won’t compare the merchandise to walmart because I think they’re a disgusting store but there are plenty of department stores that sell similar products for less but I’ll echo the other reviewers who point out that yes, these are donated goods and AFAICT the store seems to rely heavily on volunteers. smh

Good finds and good people! It's getting harder to come by a thrift that feels like it's for the community, but I always feel helped out here

Incredibly friendly staff, awesome prices, and some of the best selection of furniture I’ve ever seen in a thrift store. I was able to almost completely furnish my new apartment for less than $150, also looked like a massive selection of clothes and other items. Would highly recommend for anyone trying to find cheaper but still high quality alternatives in Boulder!

The cashier Laura is very rude I give her my money in her hand and said hi She ignored me the customer before me.She was just talking.Happy joyful laughing when I came up.I said hi, do you guys have a sale with the jury?She's still ignore me. After paying and giving the money to her in her hand she sets my money down close to her register.And my receipt I let her know this was not acceptable.That is rude.If someone hands you something in your hand hand it back.

This place used to be so great, but the prices have gone absolutely off the walls on a lot of items there. I mean seriously whoever is pricing the toys is out of their mind. This isn’t a thrift store, it’s a retail store on a lot of items.

Usually the employees are really friendly and super kind, that’s why they’re getting 2 stars.

Well organized, full of interesting finds. Pretty busy on a Tuesday afternoon, so it must be a local favorite

This is by far my favorite thrift store. The employees are always so welcoming as are the volunteers. This is a true gold mine for name brand clothing and clothing in general. My kids love the toy section and books and I frequently find some treasure I would of spent 4x as much new. It’s worth the stop and I advise stopping back frequently as the inventory is constantly changing and you never know what you’ll find. I just bought a kids North Face coat and Marmot jeans for $15!!!
