I can see why the thrift store shopper would love this place and i would bet it's primarily due to how well organized their clothes racks. Their toy section is extensive. I did find it weird that they had a section of brand new products for sell so it's not 100% used goods. Now I can see why some might say their prices are not discounted enough but keep in mind they have a free membership discount card you can sign up for. They also periodically have 50% off coupons for selected times and categories. Another tip is to sign up for their email newsletter. Now as for the legal problems the parent company (Saver) faced a few years back, Savers will disclose that it is a for-profit fundraising company; label, track and segregate donations so it can accurately compensate the charity to which the donor intended to donate the goods; if Savers accepts non-clothing donations, it must pay the charity, and Savers will prominently display and disclose the actual amounts it pays charities for donations. read more

Value Village - Value Village - Thrift Stores Near Me - Fredericton, New Brunswick

See all

Value Village has gone down hill. There are no fitting rooms, and no returns. Only exchanges. This is terribly inconvenient and makes literally no sense for a mostly clothing store. Buying clothing without trying it on or being able to get your money back is difficult. Prices are crazy too, I saw a sports bra for 25$, old thin T-Shirts for 8-14$, and jackets for 20-60$. Also, I saw donated dollar store items prices as double the original dollar store sticker. For 25$ I was able to buy a plain shirt and a pair of pants with 2 holes in them (as I planned to fix them). These are not thrift store prices. read more

Some times you can find good stuff but most of their things are overpriced. You can find a better new pair of jeans at Walmart cheaper than there. read more

I'm not one to go out of my way for a thrift store but tonight was so my partner could show me how some locals stretch their dollar. I was rather impressed with the quality and pricing of clothing. They even had some big men's items. And what a great tie selection! Designer ties for $3.99?! Even better we went on 50% off clothing night! An added bonus is the tremendous positive impact on the community. read more

Value Village - My donations made it to the racks. I think most has sold! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Fredericton, New Brunswick

Used to be a wonderful place to get clothes as a student with little money. Now the clothes there is being sold for more than stuff at walmart and other low end, new clothes outlets. There's been multiple cases of old pricetags from new items being left on, and showing a value LESS than that of what value village is trying to hock it for. It wouldn't bother me so much if I and others hadn't donated things out of good will just to have them priced expensively and as if they were new. Your inventory is almost entirely given to you for FREE with the trust that it will help people in a rough spot who cannot afford new clothing. Things are no longer affordable and the store is far less accessible now than five years ago to those in poverty, and it seems to be out of sheer greed. I used to think the operators of Value Village had charitable and community centered intentions, but I've been proven wrong, it seems more these days to be a parasite making money off of others good intentions. The working staff however have always been kind and helpful. read more
