Value Village on Ellice Ave is a great place to shop if you're looking for affordable VCR players…read moreaccessories, and VHS tapes items. They have a wide variety of secondhand goods, and it's easy to find unique pieces and good deals if you take your time browsing. The store is generally organized but during busy times the aisles can get a bit cluttered and some sections become messy. Still, the selection and pricing make it worthwhile. The checkout process is smooth, and staff are reasonably helpful. Overall a solid thrift shopping experience with plenty of variety and value.

We thrift-shopped and camped our way from Montreal to Manitoba, and while I know that's not…read moreeveryone idea of a dream vacation, for me it was heaven. I love seeing what a community is discarding or donating for a second life, and I love the people in thrift stores who are all, like me, looking for a treasure, however they'll define that. And I especially love the community spirit of these small town shops where folks - mostly older ladies - are hanging out and exchanging news and giving old items new purpose and raising money to help each other out. The MCC thrift stores are I think my favourite. Mennonite Community shops in prairie towns. You have to get lucky here just like everywhere else, nothing in life is guaranteed, but anywhere you can thrift with an older community that values quality goods, and where demand is low you are going to find some beautiful things at very low prices. The Kildonan MCC is a Winnipeg example of the above, not as exceptional as the ones in smaller towns, but it's not in the city center either, and it's quite large and we did find some gems here and definitely found good vibes.

I did a survey online for Faveri's in exchange for a coupon for our next visit. My husband was…read moredriving through from Mtl to YYC so I asked him to use the coupon and purchase two pieces of furniture. He made the purchases and forgot the coupon. He went back before the store closed an hour or so after the purchase and they made an excuse not to honour it, saying the salesperson who helped him had to do the transaction. Well, my husband was on a schedule for work and could not stick around until the next day the salesperson returned so they said they would call us and honour the coupon. They never called. It is a year and 2 months later. We were regular customers at the Calgary store. We are disppointed at the service.

Staff are super friendly and kind. Just an update for those who like gifts that matter They are selling the cutest wooden houses in support of mental health . All the proceeds go the maker which is really amazing. They have a map of Manitoba and come with a little star so you can place your town on the map. For 15-20 dollars they are a steal and will look super cute in my kitchen. The staff said you can email the maker for custom provinces. I think they would make a great gift for a great cause.

[In all fairness, I can't really review this place since I didn't shop there.... but my boyfriend…read moregave me the most amazing present from here so I just wanted to show some love] Here's a tip for all the guys: It's the little things that count. Yes, you can show up in a flashy car or buy rounds of drinks for my friends or take me to $300 dinners... but what I'll remember in 10 years... what will make me want to stay around for 10 years, are the little things. You can make me feel like I hung the moon by remembering a special moment. My S.O did this with a trinket from Out of the Blue. It was a beautiful necklace with a sand dollar pendant. It was so special that the moment I opened it, it triggered a proustian memory and I was back to that beach in Africa. back to 2007 when he was Obama-ing it up meeting long lost relatives in the motherland and I just happened to be staying at his birth father's house while I was volunteering in the village. You know... the usualboy meets girl story. I left for Kenya and got trapped in the makings of a civil war. Passport stolen, city locked down, the sound of sirens and the smell of burning filled the air. This man, this guy who knew me not even in a biblical sense for just a few weeks took a 16 hour bus ride across 2 countries to make sure I was ok. We ended up hiding away at his cousin's beach house on a empty strip of sand in a remote village while he fed me pineapples in the day and at night I would wake up crying from memories of men with machetes burning down churches full of children. All he could do was tell me it was going to be ok. It was our morning ritual to make the only footsteps on the beach and collect sand dollars whose bodies wash up on the shore after their death. Every little sea creature skeleton wiped away a fearful memory until there were no more night mares... and after awhile they weren't marine corpses anymore but reminders that though life can be horrid, heartbreaking, gruesome, unfair, dire, terrifying, it still has the capacity to be beautiful and birth love. When I opened that sweet little cardboard box, all those feelings came flooding back to me and that necklace isn't just a necklace, but a visual reminder of a memory of the heart.
