This shop also has a nice selection of unusual jewelry, T-shirts, and other gift wear.

The store, although packed with delights, was so well and simply organized that it was not overwhelming and easy to peruse through. A cute nook at the front for children's books and toys that felt like it's own little room. Rows of books organized in all types of sections including one with Totoro/Miyazaki books ( a favorite of my niece's). A selection of records and inexpensive paperbacks towards the back. A small glass display shelf with gifts including some gorgeous crystal crowns. I especially liked the little extras I had noticed. I had come to see the murals in town which had a chance too see a few behind the shop where I also saw their cute, little free library. The staff although busy, made sure to greet and assist quickly with any questions. When I have more time next time I'm in the area, I will make sure to visit again, meet their store cat, drop of some books from my collection and purchase some treats to either add back to mine or gift out.

And during our most recent June stay, became 'the' shopping place for what was needed, when it was needed. It is a bright, well-laid out, rather large store, with very friendly and helpful service, located on the 'main drag' of downtown Hope -- very handy to anyone visiting, or staying within the downtown area. Like many pharmacies these days, it carries a "whole gamut" of offerings - from pharmaceutical requirements, though other personal, and general household needs -- and at this store, a rather nice, and varied selection of fun, and/or souvenir 'stuff & such'. We had often enjoyed browsing there, and when more was required, 'Pharmasave' worked well for us.

The owners are local folks that truly care about community relationships. Owners and staff just know how to make you feel like you're important. Since my first visit, they've made me feel like I'm part of their "family"! I don't like being pressured by annoying sales people who try to sell you something just to sell something even if it's not what you're looking for. I tell you right now, that's not the case at Grand Pappy's. The knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff have listened to my needs and helped me find exactly what I was looking for without pressuring me. Like many people, I like getting a deal especially when you spend thousands of dollars. For that reason, i have a tendency to shop around, compare prices and quality, etc. Now knowing that I'm a very happy customer at Grand Pappy's, it should tell you that after doing my homework that's where I bought. This has been the best experience I've had so far and I can't see any reasons why I should shop elsewhere!! I should add that the delivery staff were fantastic. They were very professional, careful with the furniture as well as were cautious not to damage anything inside my place. Thanks to Brandy, Matt and the whole staff for making me feel special!!

Overall Impression Nuway Deals is a budget‑focused,…read moredonation‑driven thrift shop known for its low prices, fast turnover, and no‑nonsense layout. It's smaller than the big chains, but that's part of its appeal: you can sweep the entire store quickly, and when a good donation batch hits, the finds can be surprisingly strong. What Nuway Deals Does Well - Very low prices -- One of the cheapest thrift options in the region. Clothing, books, and household items are often priced far below Value Village or Talize. - Fast stock rotation -- Items move quickly, and new donations hit the floor often, making it worth checking regularly. - Compact layout -- Easy to sweep in a single pass without spending an hour inside. - Friendly, community feel -- Staff are approachable, and the store feels like a local staple rather than a corporate chain. - Good for household basics -- Kitchenware, décor, and small home items are usually priced to move. Things to Expect - Inconsistent inventory -- Some days are completely dry; others feel like a jackpot. Donation timing heavily affects the experience. - Electronics are rare -- Speaker hunters won't find much here; the electronics section is small and unpredictable. - Limited space -- A smaller footprint means fewer categories and less variety overall. - Condition varies -- Items aren't curated as tightly as Talize, so you'll see a mix of great finds and things that should've stayed in the donation bin. Who Nuway Deals Is Best For - Shoppers who want rock‑bottom prices and don't mind inconsistent stock. - Thrift hunters who enjoy quick sweeps between bigger stores. - People looking for household essentials or quirky décor. - Anyone building a multi‑store circuit and wants a fast, low‑risk stop. Quick, Review‑Ready Summary Nuway Deals is a small, community‑driven thrift store with excellent prices and fast‑changing inventory. It's not the place for electronics or massive hauls, but it's perfect for quick sweeps, household finds, and the occasional hidden gem. A reliable budget stop in any Surrey thrift circuit.

For us, a stay in Harrison Hot Springs is never complete without a visit to the CanWest Gallery,…read moreand this recent early-December trip, with 3-night stay was no exception. Daughter and I did a stop and shop at the gallery on the last day of our stay. We enjoyed checking out the various offerings, and acquiring specific information on some of the offerings displayed. I had some purchasing thoughts in mind with this visit to the gallery -- gifts were to be for daughter and myself -- not to be Christmas gifts, but more like lasting remembrances of this pre-winter, and pre-holidays stay. I had taken care of Mom's gift earlier that day. When I saw what I thought each of us would like, daughter was asked to "leave", and purchases arranged -- then I caught up with her for more walkabout, and dropped back later for pick up. Everything, including the earlier purchase, was kept under wraps and hidden from any peaks during the rest of our stay. My purchases: - for daughter: 'Crystalline Glazed Porcelain Vase' - by Holly McKeen, Studio Potter, at Greendale Pottery, Chilliwack, BC. - for me: 'Blown Glass Figurine - Polar Bear' - by Daniel Vargas, Maestro glass blower, at Arte Vargas studio/gallery, Maple Ridge, BC.
