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.

The staff is nice, things are laid out nicely, it's clean, but the prices are ridiculously high…read more Twice the price of any other thrift store. I was sorely, disappointed, too expensive.

Aisles are vey cramp and only one shopping cart can fit down one. Staff is non existent to help out to look for items and aisles are not labeled which is kinda lame.

And that makes it AWESOME!…read more My favorite thing ever is hitting this place up with friends, splitting up and meeting half an hour to an hour later to see the treasures we discovered. Over-sized Chinese Dragon mask ring? Rock belt buckle? Mini donut pans? All things I have discovered in this magical warehouse at discounted prices. One man's crap is another man's treasure amirite? From make-up to housewares, Bianca Amor's has you covered. And for the hard-to-gift sword collector? There's an entire section devoted to that. Give yourself an hour or so and have some cash with no plan because you will impulse buy.

Parking has been no problem whenever I've gone, though I tend to go in the evening. I find this store easy to navigate, and the racks tend to be organized/well looked after. The few times I've been here I've found it to have good selection and I have always been able to find my size in what I am wanting. The staff here seem helpful and the do offer to grab alternate sizes if something doesn't fit when you're trying it on. I find Gap Factory clothes tend to fit a bit different and have different cuts and material qualities than original Gap (I actually googled this and see that Gap Factory clothes are made specifically for Gap Factory only), and I find some things are better than others when shopping at Gap Factory.I tend to find myself heading to the factory store if I need some basic tee's for layering, jeans and cardigans.

Located right inside the mall, on the second level, this Dollar store is DA BOMB!…read more In fact, I"ll be honest: I didn't even know there were ANY dollar stores downtown Calgary. To find out that this store is not only downtown but located right next door to yet ANOTHER dollar store was like music to my ears. I needed a random couple of things and lucky for me, this dollar store carried every single thing I needed. I'm a HUGE fan of dollar stores, and I'm an even bigger fan of this dollar store because, yes, you guessed it, It's downtown! Happy lunch hour shopping y'all!

I like this one for all the cotchkies and random things it has. It has a great selection of kids toys, which is perfect for gifts for friends kids but also for immature joke gifts for your friends. Nerf guns are hilariously fun. They have a decent selection of electronic equipment, like computer cords and some analogue TV stuff, blank CDS and storage items. It's no future shop, but if you know what you're looking for you can save a ton of money. They also have a bigger selection of bland gift-wares than the other, including candles and canada related items, which is perfect for secret santas and travelling abroad. I recommend taking the time to go through both to scope out exactly what it is that you want.

I am used to thinking that one gets better service in a mom and pop shop, and not to dis those at all, but the woman who helped us was so generous and truly helpful. She 'held' the 30 % offer for us for a couple of days, even though it had officially ended, and she even let us 'borrow' a cushion we wanted to try out at home, and she lent us the fabric sample for a couple of days to help us make a decision. This was all on trust. Also, the store, overall, is lovely, with a lot attention paid to detail in the merchandising. Their kitchen section is great. All the staff were very attentive. Highly recommended!
