This Value Village has a great selection. Also most books are under $4! I am a student and have done a lot of thrift shopping and this value village is my favourite spot. I recently bought an Aeropostal fall jacket new with tags ($80 new) for under $10. There is tons of stuff new with tags that just requires a little bit of searching. I also really enjoying buying yarn and needlework supplies. In order to thrift shop well you have to understand quality fabrics and look very closely. I have found tons of brand name stuff here!

I don't get the hype about Value Village. I get it for Halloween - great things can be found here depending on your costume, and the prices are right. But all other time of the year, I don't quite understand what the appeal is.
The store seems dirty and sort of smells gross too. I have never found clothes here that have appealed to me - after all, someone else hated them enough to throw them away. Sometimes I am intrigued by their bags and accessories, but usually these things don't even come to close to something I would wear.
I also don't like the fact that I don't know where their profits are going. Are they simply selling my old crap, or is there anything positive going back into the community? I have no idea because this information is not advertised. I would feel better about shopping here if I knew that it was doing something good for my community. -

I don't know what it is about Value Village, but I can never find anything to actually buy there.
I don't go very often, but when I stop by to donate some stuff, I will check out what they have. I can never find anything!
This location is no exception. Although this location is a bit more up-to-date than some of the other locations I've been to, it's still not what I would call "modern."
The clothes, for the most part, are dated. I don't know how else to describe the theme!
Everything at every Value Village I've been to is dated. Even the dishes and candle holders!
With that said, I think Value Village is a great place for people who are struggling. Clothes are cheap and sometimes, we all need a break like that. Especially with an economy like ours today.
This Value Village is one of the better ones I've been to though!
