Tyler Hand Me Ups is located in Tyler Texas close to Tyler Junior College. The store is just a couple of lights down on your right in a little shopping area with another store surrounding that. Hand Me Ups is a used clothing sale where you can find lots of good deals for very low prices.
The clothes are in very good condition and many are name brands. A lot of the time the store runs lots of sales store wide anywhere from 20% – 25% off the original price. There have been many times where I found clothes for $2 or $4 per item on really cute kids clothes. Trust me I love clothes and shoes so I would not lead you astray when it comes to clothes.
Besides clothes you can find shoes and I have seen name brands there and again for a reasonable price. You can also find, purses there, belts and some jewelry. They even have perfume.
If you are looking for baby clothes, usually they have very cute items that you can find there for your children, teens or adults. If you have no money to spend on clothes, then they have an opportunity for you to where you can take your clothes there and they will sell it for you and you give them a percent and you make some also. It’s a win, win situation, I think.
Anyways the people there working are very friendly and always ready to help you find what you are looking for. You can also choose to be put on their mailing list. And anytime they have a sell or something going on they give you a notice and sometimes they send you a card with an extra 10% off. I am truly a fan of this place. I seem to be able to find great deals, nice clothes for a price that I can afford.
If buying clothes that are second hand does not bother you, I would go and check it out. There have been times that I found items that still had their tag on it. Either way you can have fun, just going and checking it out, just to see what they have. It won’t hurt going by and besides you actually might end up liking it and finding lots of new stuff for yourself or for others.
Just like any other place you probably have to go there more than once. What I mean by that is, if you go and don’t find anything to your liking, I would not give up. I would go back several times again before you decide that the place has nothing for you. Like I said in the beginning, I love it and it suits me, and my price range. But you will have to go see for yourself to see if you like it or not. Everybody likes to look nice and I don’t think too many people like to spend more than they have on clothes.
I am a girl and one that loves to be girly but don’t have lots of money to spend on it so I look for good deals and they seem to have it.

Tyler Ellis Merchandise is located off Rt 31 going towards Chandler and it is on your left side. It is a used clothing store where you can go and find pretty nice clothes for very reasonable prices.
Of course, not everything they have there will you like. Think of it more like a treasure hunt. I usually have to go there over and over several times. And sometimes I find something and at other times I don’t. But for the most part I enjoy going and looking anyways.
Just a couple of months ago I found a very nice wool jacket for $7 dollar or so. I love it and its very cozy. They have movies there for very cheap and Cd’s. They range from $3 to $5 dollars a piece. They have different ranges of other stuff, like couches, shoes, kitchen supplies, jewelry. The other stuff isn’t that great for the price but if you want some good clothes and jeans this place can be a money saver.
Baby clothes for teens and adults of all shapes and sizes are also available here. The people are very friendly and are always ready to help you find the things that you are looking for. Men if you are working in construction or anywhere outside and, you are looking for carpenter pants or overalls…this is the place where you will find some.
For Christmas I went there to find my husband some pants and they had plenty of them. So if you don’t mind taking the time to go out there and look through all their stuff then I would suggest you go and check it out. You never know exactly what you might find there.
To me its like a thrift place. The clothes seem to be in very good condition. Also, if you are looking for baby stuff like high chairs, a crib, or a car seat they will usually have these things. Hey sometimes they have these baby items and much more.
Everybody knows that money is hard to come by and every dime you save counts for something. I appreciate being able to go to stores like this, because it suits my budget and my style. Not to lead you astray I don’t always find something I like.
Sometimes I go home empty handed but for me it was still worth it because I got to leave the house and get a break from life and shop at the same time. You can’t beat that. We all know that with the way our economy is going we need all the help we can get on saving money.
So if wearing second hand clothes does not bother you. I would go and try it out and see if you can find something to your liking. The worst thing that could happen is that you go home empty handed.

Pac Sun started in 1980 as a privately owned surf shop on Newport Beach but by 1987 had expanded to 20 stores. Pac Sun soon became a staple of suburban mid American malls, supplying resentful teenagers with an oscillating choice in pant width since the eighties. Pac Sun presents itself in the over worn style of beach fashion but can still supply clothing generic enough for your average skate park kid.
Although, Tyler skaters will have to look somewhere else for shoes since Pac Sun recently stopped selling most skate brand shoes due to declining revenue. But, Pac Sun has started carrying Nike again, I presume it is thanks to the cost effective results of sweatshop labor. Pac Sun has evolved from the simple surf shop it was into a combination of popular styles. Evidently unable to forge an original style for the mall going public, Pac Sun will simply infuse the latest growing trends with the painfully bright day glow color scheme of the modern extreme sports movement.
This emulation can be easily misunderstood as a legitimate comprehension of the desires of their customer, and many of those looking for the fabric embodiment of MTV2 will have found their destination. If Pac Sun can be relied on for anything it is the faithful adaptation to youth culture. Pac Sun surfs, if you will, the fickle waves of youthful desire, camouflaging itself in the trend of the most ideal demographic and capitalizing on the fact that suburban kids a thousand miles inland of any beach will pay to look like a surfer.

For as long as I can remember I’ve seen Tylerites of all ages wearing around the popular Racquet and Jog T-shirts. I have often marveled at their popularity, even seeing them as far away as Dallas. In spite of this effective advertising campaign, I had never actually entered Tyler Racquet and Jog. Well, that all changed today, and I have to admit to being even more impressed by the store’s ad strategy than I was prior to my visit.
The store is nice enough in appearance and very well stocked. They carry a lot of swim wear and running shoes, cleats and ball caps. Actually, they have fairly good selection of footwear in general. Customers can also find various brands of tennis balls, soccer balls, and softballs. And then there are those famous T-shirts, available in every imaginable style and color. And for the customer looking for these fashionable Tees, remember there’s only one store in Tyler where they can be found.
Overall however, I found the store to be essentially just a clothing store. If that sounds critical it’s because I expected more. I was looking for more equipment and better prices. What I found instead seemed more like a sporty, more expensive GAP, complete with high school students working summer jobs. Having said that, R & J is not a bad store, it’s just a bit too trendy for my taste and didn’t really live up to the hype. They carry very nice merchandise, but if you shop there, be prepared to pay a bit more for it. On a scale of one to five I’d give it a three. But don’t simply take my word for it. Stop in for a visit and judge for yourself. Racquet and Jog is located at 4007 South Broadway in Tyler.

As a mom of two young girls the shopping experience can become stressful. The Tyler Texas area, being so spread out, is inconvenient, to say the least, for the mother on the go. Second hand stores, to high priced brand names, to big chains, we have what you are looking for, you just have to know where to look.
As a second hand store “Mommy and me” is a hot spot for hot prices. You can get a cute out fit for a dollar, but you might want to stop and get some club soda to get out the old spit up stains. If you are willing to dig deep you can get your moneys worth. I have found outfits that were not torn or faded, or just out of date. Although the employees that work there are always helpful and polite, and answer any questions you might have. I do love a personal touch to a store and its services. If you do decide to shop “Mommy and me” expect to find great conversation and great prices but not the cleanest or nicest hand-me-downs.
!
If the name on the tag is more important than the price on the tag, shop “Snug as a Bug”. Honestly, I don’t understand why you should pay $50 for a pair of shoes that your kids will wear for three months, but maybe that’s just my opinion. There is more than just clothes at this quaint corner store, your child’s room could be filled with beauty and value. From furniture, to curtains, to diaper bags, they have it all. Though I love the style and look of the “Snug as a Bug” products, the prices are not worth my time.
At the big chain stores, you can be sure to find good products at decent prices. “The Children’s Place” (Broadway Square Mall) and “Babies R Us” (Corner of Loop 323 and Donnybrook) are two of my personal favorite stores in Tyler. Its easy to find what you are looking for in the right sizes. No need to get stressed or have to dig, which is very convenient when you have to shop with small children. You can always expect new items determined by the season.
!
The main frustration of shopping big chain stores is that the personal services are lacking, like the feeling everyone sees you and knows you need help but avoids you in hope that their shift will go by faster. I hate circling the store looking for someone to tell me if they have a 18 months size of the shirt I have been carrying around for ten minutes. The employees at these two stores are usually very helpful, but I have had times that I felt lost and frustrated. The shopping experience should be convenient and easy. When its all laid out or hung up on the RIGHT places its much more delightful to shop at those stores. You might even enjoy yourself!
Though second hand stores such as “Mommy and Me” have great prices, and top name brands such as “Snug as a bug” have great value, I will stick with the big chain stores so that I can always be certain of convenience, prices, and value with no let downs
