About This Store
Uptown Cheapskate Austin is a go-to consignment destination for fashion-forward shoppers seeking quality brands at reasonable prices. The store features a constantly refreshed selection of women's clothing, shoes, and accessories spanning trendy contemporary pieces, designer labels, and vintage finds. Customers rave about scoring items from brands like Lululemon, Free People, Anthropologie, and Ulla Johnson, often at clearance prices or with additional percentage-off deals. The store is consistently described as clean, well-organized with items sorted by color and size, and staffed by friendly, helpful employees who keep the floor restocked and tidy. Beyond shopping, Uptown Cheapskate offers a seamless selling experience where customers can bring in their gently used clothing and receive a fair cash offer or in-store credit with fast turnaround times. A birthday month 15% discount sweetens the deal for registered shoppers. While the women's selection earns high praise for its depth and variety, men's shoppers may find a more limited offering.
