This is not my usual Value Village location but I was in the area and decided to pop in. This…read morelocation has a ton of great stuff when I went. Their shelves were well organized and full of great finds. I usually like to search for kitchen items and sometime some clothing items. This location had a great selection of kids books too! Some great find this time. The staff working here were also very friendly and pleasant. I ended up buying a cool handmade dress that fit me perfectly for $10, just a tad bit long on me. I also got 2 amazing condition Dr. Seuss books for $2 each, and a milk glass nut serving dish for $6. Check this location out if you're in the area.

I would assume that a place that is about vintage wouldn't associate with a place like Temu, the fast fashion empire of non-sustainability. Really breaks my heart. I loved this place, I came here for two decades making memories and spending money. Buying all kinds of "treasures". I don't know about any of it because the trust is gone. These Temu earrings were labelled "Numinous Nova" so I assumed they were a maker. Like so many "makers" in the city and on Etsy who I had to finally delete, these are all Temu. I feel pretty stupid for getting caught up in my favourite flower that I didn't take a closer look. I'm not coming back. They don't respond to any negative reviews, only positive. Why not work for a positive solution or at least explain things?

For beginners and antique aficionado's alike, there's something for everyone here! Whether you're…read morelooking for something specific or just love browsing antiques, this is a shop you don't want to miss. Down a set of stairs you'll find a this quaint, unique little gem! Margret has owned this fantastic spot for 27 years. She is welcoming, helpful and very friendly! She'll make you feel right at home. Regularly restocked with items from consignment, it's definitely worth visiting and revisiting time and time again! The entryway has incense and unique perfume. The array of books (all one of a kind) was what caught my eye next. You can find a book for any interest here. Around the corner you'll find unique home decor and magazines (some of which are possibly collectors items). Next you'll find clothes. Well stocked with one of a kind pieces, you're sure to find an outfit that will make a statement. Check back often as there's always something new! Prices are fair. Covid-19 precautions are in place. Give yourself more time than you think you need, there's tons to explore! Great for gift ideas if you're browsing around. Jewelry, furniture, typewriters, and more!! My new favourite shop!

The Old Strathcona Antique Mall is a fun place to check out if you're around Old Strathcona/Whyte…read moreAve. There's free parking lot for patrons, which is a bonus in this area of Edmonton. They are the largest antique store in Western Canada, and so there is a lot to see here. From vintage license plates to toys to furniture to everything in between (and then some). I like coming here just to browse and see what they have. The Old Strathcona Antique Mall is filled with different antique/vintage vendors so trying to hunt down a particular item can be hard, and might be in more than one spot. That said I've been on the hunt for vintage travel postcards from specific destinations I've visited (and there's a particular style I want). Postcards are in several different spots so when I come here I try to go through them all. I've done pretty well on my mission, but there are still some destinations I don't have. Oh no that means I have to go back to The Old Strathcona Antique Mall, probably pretty soon.

The St. Albert location recently opened this fall (2014) in the old Rona location across from GoodLife Fitness. It's as bright and clean as any thrift store could possible be. They have a drive up section, where you ring a doorbell, to drop off gently used items (VV gives back to charity every time you donate through the Diabetes Association). I have a friend who works at a different location and she had lamented that they were pulling all their best things for months in preparation of sending the best of the best to have the St. Albert store stocked for its grand opening. Be sure to sign up for e-mail notice of sales, their Super Savers Card, or bring a Senior on Tuesdays for 30% off if you're looking for a deal or going to be a regular. A word of caution/advice - you need to either know what you are looking for or be on a mission for something one of a kind. Buying George brand or Cherokee brand leggings for your little girl for $2-$4 used here is simply insane when you can buy them brand new for $3-$5 on sale. But for a pair of dress shoes likely only once or twice or a vintage jersey to wear to a themed party or the perfect ugly Christmas sweater - this is most definitely your place!

My family is doing a Christmas in July get together, and we're doing a gift exchange with a $5…read morelimit. Of course I've been checking out garage sales and thrift stores for the gift exchange, so I popped into the Bissell Centre Thrift Shoppe on 118 to see what they had. The store isn't is an okay size, but its pretty crowded, particularly in the household and random hodge podge aisles on the west side of the store. You can't have more than one person in the aisle, but on the upside I guess that means more stuff to peruse through. Apparently there can be good deals on books, but I didn't really check that out. I was more flabbergasted at all the childhood items of mine that were there, like the weird Ikea space lamp I had as a kid, or the very 90s floral jewellery box I used to own. It was like entering the twilight zone - or stuff from the 90s and early 00s are now thrift shop worthy. This is a thrift shoppe so prices are pretty cheap. It should go without warning that quality isn't going to be 100%. These are donated items so you have to decide if the cost is worth it for you to fix/upgrade/repurpose whatever you buy, since there may be wear and tear (or more) to the items here. Of course you could also pick up something in great condition - all part of the joys on thrift shopping. The Bissell Centre is a great local organization that helps low income Edmontonians . Everything in the Bissell Centre Thrift Shoppe is donated and the money here goes toward other Bissell Centre programs and initiatives. It's pretty cool to save some money, while helping the larger community at the same time. If you're in the area, and like a good bargain The Bissell Centre Thrift Shoppe is worth checking out.

Fantastic little place…read more The book section is not nearly as big as it used to be, it's downright tiny really (honestly, now likely the smallest of any thrift shop in the city), but I did notice that they seem to receive good titles, in great condition, and they are very very well priced. They do have many *new* goods as well as the standard used items you typically find in thrift shops, which is a result of many corporate donations. Something that I've noticed is more common in smaller true charity shops. Despite the size of the store, there is an impressive small furniture section at the back. A much better selection than you would typically find at Value Village. I feel that this is a good place to look for higher end labels, not priced as high as VV & Goodwill, and not as picked over as some other places, proportionally a great selection given the size of the shop. I spotted a couple of pairs of super cute Michael Kors wedges in brand new shape for $20 (black and tan, in 6.5 & 8, respectively - same style). I actually ended up buying a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs sunnies for $18, that are current season and selling at The Bay for $155. A bit of a hassle if you want to try anything on though, as there is a three item limit for the change rooms and you need to ask a clerk to unlock the door for you. Also, bigger ticket shoes are displayed in singles. I suppose both of these are a reflection of the higher crime rate in the neighbourhood. Free parking abounds though, which goes far to bring me in. Anyway, you can't really go wrong with a place like this: thrift shops have many social, environmental and economic benefits... the only thing they harm is my closet space.

I didn't buy anything: I was too overwhelmed by the volume of stuff for sale here, even though some of the items were close to what I was seeking. I reconsidered and decided not to purchase anything after browsing. But there were lots of deals on items there and I imagine it would be a good place to visit if I needed inexpensive themed party apparel etc.
