Best places: Thrift stores in Canada

👍👍 The owners are amazing people! They truly care about their customers and are very knowledgeable about each item they have in the store. I am a regular customer here and probably always will be. Such a great vibe in the store and Tina’s cute Pomeranian puts the cherry on top of the shopping experienc...

👍👍 Excellent customer service, fair prices. Good quality!

😠 Not worth dealing with awful staff attitudes. Use to find some good deals on books but I wont return. Least friendly workers Ive ever seen in a thrift shop. Was in this morning, several of staff were very rude, staring at me, following around store, cant say hello back. Last time Ill visit.

👍👍 I’ve been to Mission Thrift Store 3 times in the past few months. I’m always so impressed by how well laid out, clean, creatively styled and welcoming this store is. The prices are so good and lower than most thrift stores that I go to. The quality and selection of clothing, accessories, books, shoe...

😠 I'm really not sure what happened to this place. It used to be the best thrift store in the city, and now it has prices so outrageous it makes Value Village blush. $70 for a second hand toaster? $50 for a VCR? $60 for a tape deck? $50 for a dial up modem? I'm not sure what decade they're living in.

😐 This used to be my favorite thrift shop, but the prices are outrageous these days, and there doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to them (teacups can vary from $2-$9 and I have seen the same $9 teacup sit there for months because it definitely wasn’t a “$9” teacup). That is higher than antique stor...

👍👍 New items regularly makes it awesome to shop here more frequently. Prices are much cheaper than Value Village across the street...if you're looking for something, definitely check here first! Furniture is a great deal too, some super finds to restore Or for someone just moving out.

👍👍 Great stuff here, good selection of clothes and accessories/shoes. Price is good too I got a nice shirt and jeans for $50. Also Frank Ocean was playing when I was there so 10/10 music choice.

🫤 I used to really love this store - I’ve been shopping and donating here since I moved to Vancouver nearly 8 years ago. It makes me really sad to see the price gouging that is happening there now. I used to go in and see plenty of quality items (donated by the people of Vancouver) at very reasonable...

😠 Very disappointed with the pricing. In the past, FIND used to be affordable, but they became the next “Value Village” spiking their prices! $30 for a worn-out chair ! Very unreasonable!

😐 This used to be my go to thrift store! But now I find it... more centered in greed. Examples: I was going to get a big space book for my classroom, one of those physically big ones! It was clearly secondhand, it didn't have a price so I asked the person at the counter...they said 25.00!!!! I did not...

😐 Great clean store only reason for my 3 star review is because some of the prices here have gone way too high. At the front there is racks with higher end shoes and clothing, just simple mall brands like levis, gap, Nike, under armour etc. I saw USED men's levis t shirts with price tags for $18 each!...

Long-standing nonprofit chain with a range of pre-owned clothing, housewares & more.

😠 They've removed their change rooms. This simply does not work for me. I live too far away to work with the exchange only policy. They were friendly enough when I tried to find a way to make it work, but in the end, I am unable to shop here if I can't try things on. I appreciate their perspective, bu...

😠 Dropped off a huge load of donations. Accidentally gave them the wrong box, of things that were very important to me. Called immediately once I realized, returned right away. They called back while I was returning to say everything had been sorted, marked and sold (5min since drop off at this point)...

😠 Went on Wednesday and was told my two year old wasn't allowed to walk beside my cart holding my hand, that she had to be in the cart and that my 11 year old son wasn't allowed to look through the boys clothes on his own that he had to be with me the entire time. I was completely flabbergasted, left...

👍👍 Last summer, I decided to take a quick trip down the Louis Riel Trail (Hwy 11) from Saskatoon to pick up the perfect vintage red Pyrex mixing bowl that I'd purchased online from Kinder Surprises Antiques near Davidson. I was definitely surprised at the delightful little village Erin has created! My...

😠 Prices are insane. 25% of items are stained, torn or missing parts. Really disappointing second hand store. It does NOT help the environment at all when everything is priced for insane profit and not to move out the door.

😠 We were major supporters of gleaners until we heard they were spreading rumors about one volunteer WE SENT THEIR WAY! I dont like giving bad reviews, but... Abusing someone's good nature and overworking to the point of sheer exhaustion, when this person couldn't help anymore they began spreading rum...
