I was so happy when a Plato's Closet opened near my house. It meant I no longer had to carry my…read morethings into the city to sell to Common Sort or Kind Exchange (back when it was still opened). I have been selling my clothes there since it first opened. It's a great way to get some pocket money with clothes you want to offload. Of course, do not expect to be able to sell every time if you do not end up having trendy pieces they are looking for. However, you are able to sell items from Zara and other fast fashion brands since Common Sort normally does not take them. As a buyer, they have a good selection as well at very affordable prices. It's a good alternative to the Value Village nearby. I highly recommend if you live in the area!

Although it tends to be geared towards the younger set; teens and millennials, 40 + can also find some treasures here if they are willing to dig a little.

A Great Thrift Store during inflation. I was not able to find any brand-new items. They do have a…read morehuge selection of male-female clothes/shoes. Plus, You will see kids' toys and items of luggage. The per lb price is 4.99 CND. Everything is very clean and organized. I felt safe with my family during the covid times. The parking lot is huge but busy all the time. No trial room so bring a measuring tape or know what you really want. Recommended mainly for people who like thrifting.

And i dont get why shoppers need to converse and ask so many questions to the person on cash it makes people wait longer. It's been like this every visit for me. They are shortage of workers here. Could be good finds you need to LOOK, LOOK. But its very chaotic here with the lines the stock may/may not be good due to location of area. Shop at your own Risk i like to say. But i do donate here often. The staff working here is very friendly and nice they are just short of workers so we cannot get frustrated at them its not their fault.

Value Village here is known as Savers in the U.S. They are a for-profit organization so their…read moreprices are higher than other thrift stores but you can find many more designer items here. If you're patient and persistent, you can even find new items with tags on them. This is one of the larger VVs around which means larger selection of items as well (they have a large curtain section). At least once a month they have a big 50% off sale. If you are a Super Savers Club member, you can go the day before a sale and get the discount (go early because it gets pretty crowded later on in the day) Haven't run into any problems with the staff but I haven't needed to bother them for anything either.

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?

And surprisingly the merchandise is well organized and I do not have a feeling that I am shopping in a thrift store. Since it is relatively new, the sale staff here was really helpful. Selection wise though was a little boring, but I ended up picking up a scarf and a top. Please note all sales are final: no refund no exchange!

I still visit it when I'm in the mall, but usually find better choices at Forever XXI or Banana Republic. Service is inconsistent and depends on who's serving you and what mood they are in that day. Not worth the trip for me but others may be luckier.
