So much fun! This place is for treasure hunters who don't mind sifting through used items in bins…read more If you love the thrill of the hunt, this place is for you! You definitely need time to kill and openness to see something you might like. My parents and I have been here a few times. At first my mom was skeptical but now she gets excited to go. We've gotten a variety of clothes, toys, stationary, and household items. With some persistence and luck, you can find some pretty awesome brand names. I've seen brands like Nike, Adidas, Bench, Helly Hansen, North Face, Victoria Secret, Zara, True Religion, as well as brands from Aritzia and Anthropologie. I've also found some great Paw Patrol, Fisher Price, Leap Frog and Disney toys here. Items vary in condition from like new to very worn out. In general I have found most of the items to be visibly clean and without any bad odors. The other thrifters can get quite focused and somewhat aggressive when it comes to being first to pick from the newly stocked bins. The staff roll the bins in from the stockroom and into these allotted "parking"' spaces in the main room. You can gather around the newly brought in bins but the staff will indicate when you are able to dig into the items. Until you hear the go ahead, you are definitely not allowed to touch. After the initial rush, most shoppers abandon the bins and you are free to go through the bins at your leisure. You learn quickly where the new bins are coming in. It's pretty obvious when you see a group of people gathered around an empty space or full bin ready to pounce. They have large metal shopping carts but you are to leave these at the perimeter of the store. You are not allowed to bring these alongside of the bins. It makes me nervous to leave my treasures unattended on the sides of the store. They also have smaller black plastic shopping baskets on wheels which you can bring with you to the bins. This is definitely a unique thrift shopping experience. I joke it's like one step above dumpster diving. It's also a lot cheaper than going to a regular Goodwill store. When it's time to pay you roll your cart over this scale that's built into the floor. You pay by the pound. The cashier will then tell you what you owe. Don't get nervous because it's really cheap. I've paid $17-$22 for an overflowing basket of items. You can definitely get a big bang for your buck if you know what to get. I recommend bringing a garbage bag or large reusable bag to carry your purchased items home.

I do find it a bit concerning how often the prices seem to go up. I just hope we don't reach a point where folks start preferring new products over the amazing finds in the used items. thank you

I have mixed feelings on this one, but overall pretty positive!…read more This is a huuuuuge location and I was psyched to see the variety of products (and nicely organized, to boot!) Downsides: the primary staff member I spoke with about an ottoman wasn't overly friendly and definitely wasn't helpful, but the young man who lent me his measuring tape was a gem. I also found the "ambiance" of this place to be a bit yuck- the lighting was a strange shade of yellow that I think was raining on my parade. Overall I think this is a pretty great place to peruse for new household items and decor, and the prices are always great!

Lyndale Accents carries a wide variety of fun, practical, and beautiful gift ideas for the home and for children and adults. There are seasonal items, jewelry, greeting cards, and items for bath and kitchen. Most of the trinkets are small, but with large pricetags. There is a return policy with receipt (although I can't recall how many days you have), which was fortunate for me when I bought a decorative bookmark for a family member who did not care for it.

I am a minimalist when it comes to my home decor, so this store turned out completely useless for me. It was fun to browse though. There are picture frames and vases, figurines, clocks and jewellery, candles, plates and coin purses as well as hand bags and cute kid items such as books and little shoes. The selection at Lyndale Accents is indeed eclectic. It is geared to women, so ladies, make sure to shop here without a boyfriend or a husband who, chances are, will be bored and end up whining and ruining your shopping trip:) P.S. Customer service was nonexistent.

EVERYTHING This store actually Includes a Marshall's as well which is another feather in the cap for St. Albert!! We are the first point of entry for many traveling too and from Fort McMurray, Cold Lake, Bonnyville and so on. It isn't necessarily the exact route one would take but for those trying to avoid traffic of the larger Centres we are a great option and it really helps support the local businesses in town to have more and more draws next to to Costco!! Why go to Edmonton for all of that when you can easily avoid another hour of travel on a busy day. I would comfortably say whether a woman, man local or not this store is an easy solution to a huge variety of shopping needs. Stop in and see the selection, experience the subtle decor movements and see the fashion selection. Whatever else may fall into your cart is a bonus!!

Like the other locations, it's bright, clean, and crammed full of items for the home, from bedding to decorative items, all at good prices. I'm always surprised at the variety of items I can find, and that none of them hurt my bank balance. Some favourite finds have included cuddly-soft pet beds, towels, storage pieces, throw pillows and vases. I seriously never leave empty handed!

Other than Christmas decorations, Jilly's a bit of everything! There is clothing in the back (it's very expensive though - so expensive I almost choked on my gum). They also have numerous home decor items, candles, bath and soap products, they have a lot of stuff. The sale section towards the back of the store drew me in immediately (it had purses). I really liked Jilly's. I will be going back to shop soon!

Jaillis Boutique is packed full of goodies from jewelry, to candles, to clothing, and so much more! There is even a little kids section. You can also find Kate Spade stationary accessories here. This place is seriously jam packed! I took pictures, and when I looked at them after, I saw things in the picture I didn't notice in the store! You can, and probably should, spend at least an hour here! I was in there for about 20 minutes which is seriously a long time for me. I can browse a store and be out in 5 minutes. But this place was like a candy store for me :) My favourite sections in the store were the Farmhouse Fresh skin care line (get the Whoopie Cream lotion), the gurgle pots, and the Volcano candles. Oh! And the scarves! Such a huge selection of scarves here! So many great spring patterns and colours. This boutique has something for every budget. You can pick up gifts from $20 and up. What a great place to come for hostess gifts! And in addition, the girl working at the shop was super friendly and I could tell she loved working there. For real, I think this is as good as it gets for a local boutique in SW Edmonton. 5 stars all around! *Applause*
