Review from Lauren N.

Hey, fellow shoe-lover -- can you keep a secret? This is where beautiful shoes come to rest when their previous owners get bored of them!
Seriously, I was amazed at the selection of women's shoes they had in stock, and all in surprisingly good condition as if they weren't even worn more than once. My eyes first landed on a pair of lime green Guess sandals and I thought I was mistaken. Then I read they were priced $11 and I was sure I needed my eyes checked. Guess for $11 -- where else are you going to get that?? (Sadly no, I didn't get them as they were too small)
Goodwill has everything from shoes to furniture, kitchen gadgets and small appliances to home decor items, clothing and jewelry. I love perusing the kitchen junk section, cause it reminds me of stuff I used to see around the house when I was little. Lots of "Ohh, I remember these!" and "Huh, that's what those are for ..." There's also a large collection of vintage china and tea cups behind glass cabinets for those who like things proper and dainty.
I didn't get a chance to check out the clothing section, as I honestly was way too distracted by the endless possibilities of shoes to care that day. But needless to say, this Goodwill location offers an abundance of gently used items that anyone can benefit from. If you love garage and yard sales or thrift stores, check out this place. You might want to set aside a good portion of your afternoon just to allow plenty of browsing time. Have fun! -

This Goodwill used to be located where the Giant Tiger shop is now, on Stony Plain Road. It's moved, and the best Goodwill in the city has only gotten better. The furniture section and record sections are expanded, there's always something amazing to be found in the shoes, and there are even two entire bookshelf units devoted to vintage and classics! My thrift-shopping partner-in-crime always leaves with armloads of dresses and bathing suits for her collection.
It's huge, it's well-stocked, and I've never been disappointed by a visit to this paticular Goodwill location. -

I was shocked at how awesome the selection is at this Goodwill. It wasn't like Value Village, where I can go through 50 shirts without finding anything good. As I was going through all the racks, there was almost always something cool and different. I found this one amazing brown button-down dress, but I was so disappointed, when it was slightly too small.
I would also definitely suggest this place, if you're moving out for the first time and can't afford new furniture. I saw some really decent couches and coffee tables for super cheap.
While I was here with a friend, we found some awesome stuff in the book section. My friend collects those old Little Golden Books/Records, an he found a couple here that were in excellent condition. I also found an old Webster's hardcover grammar book that was in perfect condition.
I love Goodwill, but I do find some of the prices a bit high. Still, it's cheaper than buying anything new, and sometimes it's worth it, when you find something really unique. -

this is a really great goodwill store with a good selection of all kinds of things. everything is in good shape and the prices are right. no matter if you're looking for clothes, records, books or furniture, you'll most likely find it here and if not, you'll find some other bargains ;-)

I remember coming to Goodwill with one of my female friends who is a fashionista and a self-proclaimed treasure hunter. We would spend hours browsing through all the clothes an inevitably finding one or two hidden gems. We were so good at digging out amazing finds such as hardly worn, practically brand new jackets, tops and coats. We even managed to find several designer pieces...With time this treasure fining enthusiasm weakened, and now I hardly ever visit Goodwill. Enthusiasm gave room to sheer frustration and irritability as now I can't stand going through rack after rack of other people's old clothes. I like consignment boutiques such as Vespucci, but not Goodwill. Everything in the store looks millions years old, and all the clothes look as if they haven't been taken good care of.
For me, Goodwill is a good place to buy an occasional book or two... everything else - not so much, sorry.
