    I was in the mood for a little retail therapy, and as I love to thrift shop, I stumbled upon this…read morestore--only to stumble right back out empty-handed. Chiiile, these prices were outrageous for a second-hand or consignment store, at least in my opinion. On a positive note, the store layout was impressively organized. I was greeted by one employee who kindly asked if I needed assistance, which was refreshing--especially since the rest of the staff didn't seem too interested in making eye contact, let alone speaking. They do have an impressive selection of high-end brands in mint condition, but overall, this place just wasn't for me.

    Honestly, I used to love this store, but I have noticed it becoming more narrow to a particular…read moredemographic. They carry an abysmally small L & XL section compared to the bountiful S & XS section (probably because they are not buying L & XL sizes from people who bring them in - I've brought in tons of very gently used and sometimes new with tags larger sizes and they only bought 2 things in total from me). I also have received increasingly more snootiness from the people who work here - they are nice, but they have a lot of rules. The fact that you cannot return anything for anything but in-store credit, which makes sense for Goodwill, but not for these prices, and also that the rewards are only applied to other locations makes my experience feel less and less buyer-friendly - almost like I am supposed to feel privileged to get to shop at their store. If I'm going to pay this much for used clothes, I honestly might as well use ThredUp online and save myself the hassle.

    I have shopped this store from years and it is consistently fair deals and friendly folks. I love…read moreWednesday shopping because they give me a 25% senior discount and they also have a reward system. They have punch cards you get and for every $!0 you get a spot punched. When your card is full, the card can be used to apply $10 toward your purchase. This is a clean store and things in my opinion higher quality goods for sale. I recommend them often to people I know. Lots of parking. Thank you Nu2U

    I love exploring Pantego and now I can add Nu2U to my list of thrifting and donation spots. It's an…read more"upscale resale shop" run by the local non-profit, Arlington Urban Ministries. Their mission is to "provide emergency assistance for utilities, rent, and food for those in crisis in Arlington." Pretty awesome. Open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10-5; Thursday and Friday from 10-6. It's nice and cozy in here. It seems like everything is placed with intention and there are cute displays. A lot of resale shops feel pretty unorganized and disheveled, and I get it because there's so many goodies moving in and out all the time. Nu2U is true to its "upscale resale" claim and feels borderline trendy-boutique-thrift. Home decor, furniture, clothes, books, jewelry, electronics... come shop, donate items, or volunteer your time.
