Review from Karlie M.
4/3/2012 6 Check-ins Here
Count me in as another person who loves to go to the Bissell Centre for their wicked selection of books. They have lots of newer releases in amazing condition, lots of Oprah picks, paperbacks, and tons of Canadian authors as well. The prices are unreal. The most I've paid for a book (or seen a book priced at) was $2.99 for a hardcover copy of The Corrections in perfect condition.
I haven't had much luck with the clothes, but I got a nice H&M purse for $9. They have a decent selection of shoes and then all of the other random stuff that comes along with thrift store shopping.
I find their prices even cheaper than other big thrift stores (Value Village, etc.), and I feel good knowing that the profits actually go to the Bissell Centre and not just to some big corporation.Listed in: Underdog Challenge April '12, I like books

Ooh, I adore the Bissell Centre's Thrift Shoppe. As Paula mentioned, they've got an excellent selection of books - in fact, it's probably the best selection of books at any Edmonton thrift store, meticulously alphabetized and categorized. Someone's obviously putting a lot of work into that book section and it makes browsing an absolute pleasure.
Books aside, Bissell's got the usual clothing, linens, furniture and housewares on offer. Because it's located in one of the lower-income communities in town, the selection can be quite picked over, so visit often.Listed in: Thrifting The City

The Bissell Centre's Thrift Shoppe helps this inner city agency raise funds. There is a huge selection of clothes and shoes. There is also an entire room of books. If you look, you can find some good titles in decent condition. The small selection of CDs can sometimes bring good deals and surprises. I picked up a Broken Social Scene CD and a double Best Of Elton John CD, for three dollars total. When I got home, I realized the second CD of the Elton John package was missing, but it was still a good deal. You can also find some toys and household items here. The stock changes all the time and they are always accepting donations.
