I'm not the type who loves searching and digging for gems in vintage shops or even Marshalls or…read moreWinners, even though I love a good deal, I lack the patience to search through. But this recent visit might have changed my mind. When I needed last-minute accessories for a costume in spring, it never crossed my mind to check out Value Village--until my partner suggested it. Turns out, there were some real finds! I needed a beret and suspenders and ended up choosing a 100% wool hat and it was made in Germany and priced cheaper than a brand new costume beret, along with suspenders featuring buckles made in England and the stretchy band made in the US, all together for under $12 including tax for both items. Sounds like a great deal to me. Older items these days are much better quality and it's much more sustainable since these items are mostly likely gonna be used once. Don't overlook Value Village!

Went on a Tuesday. Not too busy, the change rooms understandably closed, but my main grievance is…read moreall about the abhorrent prices. This is a thrift store. You re selling second hand items. Why are making used shoes $24.99? Jeans $17.99? I love shopping thrift so I can help close the loop and give new life to items, but these prices make it hard to justify. Why would I buy used when I could buy new for nearly the same price? Secondly, why are some traditional Chinese garments in the "costume" section of the store for Halloween?

Good selection of items, some are brand new. Toys are packaged in bags for about $4.99 each. Items…read morewere well organized. They have a self check out so it's convenient. I was able to find a stack of pokemon cards for just $4.99.

The selections are just like any value village. It's random and you never know what you'll find. The reason I'm giving such a low score is because the service. I had staff walk into me, reach across me to stock shelves, etc during covid. Nevermind that, I found items not tagged that I wanted to buy. Lined up a while to pay because despite having a massive line up, they only open two cash and the other staff are wandering around the store. We get there and then she tells us we can't pay cause she can't price it. Frustrated would be an understatement. If you can't feely untagged items, why are there so many on your floor? There's like 2-3 staff constantly circling the sections checking the items and putting things back. Waste of time... And I've been here a few times now. Never a great experience considering your expectations for value village shouldn't be all that high to start.

I like the idea of this place. You bring in your gently used items and they will buy things that…read moreare currently trending (which honestly always seems to be forever21 type clothing), and you get a few bucks in cash right back. Sometimes they take a few hours to go through your stuff depending on volume of people. You can leave or shop around while you wait. Shopping here is interesting. It really illustrates how sizes can differ between brands because there's stuff in large that fit a small person, and vice versa. The store itself is usually organized best they can. A few time though, I did want to purchase something and it had tears or rips in them. But they were being sold at the same or higher price than other pieces of similar style. While I understand the idea is that these are pre-owned, I think they need to maybe review the seams a lot closer before hanging up for sale. It's a bit disappointing to think you found something great at a good value, only to realize it's damaged and you can't really justify getting it.

I found some clothes and handbags that I no longer wanted so I googled online to see if I can sell…read morethem instead. I came across this store and found out they have multiple locations around GTA. So I went to this location, they had a lot of second hand items available. They take brand name items. They don't just take clothes, they also take hand bags, wallets and accessories. You would simply just need to tell them you're looking to sell. You will need to provide your phone number and a piece of photo I.D. They will send you a text once they have gone through the items. Just be mindful that they don't take everything. They can be very picky too. Sometimes I would bring in a bag of clothes and leave with not being able to sell any of it. It really depends on what they need as they had explained to me before they don't want to over stock on stuff they already have or they don't need for the season. So far, I've sold to them 5-6 times and got back about $30-$40 total. It's certainly not a lot of money but to me it's still something. Before I donate the items, I might as well bring them here and give it a shot to see if I could get back a few dollars here and there.
