I was in the area having lunch when I came across Junk in the Trunk, thrift store in Ogden. I…read morealways love walking into thrift stores and seeing what people have discarded, only to be rediscovered by someone else. As soon as you walk in you realize this isn't your average thrift store. The store is well laid out, organized and has that fantastic smell of used gear (but in a good way); it all brings back good memories of the past. They have a good assortment of records (yes vinyl is making a comeback). And they are dirt cheap; mostly costing less than a buck! I picked up two records and it cost me a toonie. How great is that!! The store shelves are organized in a great way, great friendly and inviting owners, wonderful jazz music was playing in the background, housewares, books, clothing, toys, electronics and even furniture were available to snap up. Be careful, walk into Junk in the Trunk and you'll be walking into a time-warp that you may not want to leave.

It is obvious that effort goes in to make sure that stock is not junky or dirty. Staff and volunteers are very willing to help and prices are better than most second-hand stores. Fun to check out the on-going silent auction of artwork, jewelry, collectibles, etc. Furniture tends to sell very quickly because of the prices and value. Several stores and businesses donate to it as well as ordinary folk decluttering or downsizing. You can find everything from Ikea to antiques.

Urban Thrift is a great little store with a friendly, approachable proprietor. I am really…read moreimpressed by the layout of the space, which is attractive, thoughtfully arranged, and easy to navigate for shoppers. There is an awesome process in place for those who want to submit clothing for consignment and an easy, transparent way for people to see whether their consigned items have been purchased. I have felt intimidated when dropping clothing off at other thrift stores, but Urban Thrift is definitely a welcoming space! I was told that the store holds a variety of special events and promotions, all of which sound very interesting although I have not yet been able to attend any. Still - lots of cool ideas that demonstrate out-of-the-box thinking. I'm looking forward to becoming a regular at this clothing store.

Zoe's store on 14th is a mish mash of everything, there is always a sidewalk display akin to a…read moregarage sale and this always seduces me. So today I decided to check it out. It has everything of course, clothing, shoes, kitchen appliances, jewellery, and knicky knackies but for such a small place I found everything surprisingly organised. This is a Thrift store folks don't expect anything less than junk and this and that but what I didn't expect were such high prices. Come on a jacket for $100 , you can pick one up at Divine down the street in better condition and at 75% lower in price. This wasn't even vintage and it wasn't even leather. The dishware was ridiculously expensive as well, Value Village has stuff below a buck that Zoe's was selling at 4 to 5, even Winners could beat the prices here, and it would be new and in better condition. Big no no Zoe. On the other side of the coin however was the furniture, now I saw a chrome table 50s go for 30 dollars then a 70s retro dining set at 60. I mean both would sell for well over 300 dollars in Vancouver or Toronto. So there is this huge imbalance in pricing. The women working there are extremely personable, I believe the owner or manager is from Russia and she is very friendly and sweet and the girl behind the counter is fun and attentive. So I guess shopping at Zoe's is the luck of the draw, I mean you can find what you are looking for, stock comes in daily but you may not want to pay for what you find or you may wonder why you paid so little. What absolutely floors me is that for a thrift shop they have this amazingly hip cool website up, where you can ask questions to Zoe and even find out what has come in and what collectibles they have. Zoe strange.

Definitely one of the best thrift stores I've been to. The selection is the main selling point but…read morethere are other things to consider. Cleanliness, organization, variety, pricing, and quality of products are all important when debating a place that sells used goods. This place is clean and organized. Each area has a clear purpose/product. The selection of items in each area is good. They don't put out items that are at the end of their life, worn, or damaged. Seeing poor quality items is common in most second hand shops like Value Village so it's refreshing to see good items. They only offer the large shopping carts instead of the handheld baskets but I guess we can live with that. The pricing is noticeably higher then other similar stores but I guess it's warranted because the quality is so high. Free parking lot, but it can be challenging to find a spot when it's busy.

This is so corrupt! second hand table lamps for $25+, used athletic shorts for $20+, frames prints, not even original art work going for $50+, table tops books for $25+. It was absolutely price gauging and I am shocked. I walked out without buying anything at all because it was so overpriced. I recommend the WINS across the road as it's priced more affordably and donates to women in need within Calgary.

I had a blast rummaging through all the clothing, and I ended up picking up this jersey. I also found an instant camera, but I'm docking two stars because it was missing a part--the charger and battery. If you buy electronics (or anything here really), beware. I ended up buying a charger and battery online which pretty much ended up costing as much as what's listed on eBay in USD. Otherwise, not a bad place to burn time and have fun. Now I can rep Canada!

They have some outstanding goods and the prices are excellent. My complaint is that I am old-fashioned and pay by cash. I am hopeful that a number of poor Calgarians shop at Value Village and also pay by cash. Why is it so difficult to pay by cash? Most of the times the machines won't take cash. Today the self-serve had one or two customers while those of us paying by cash had to wait in a long lineup that took 20+ minutes. It is so frustrating.
