Hit up Zoe's during their 'brown bag sales'! All you can fit into a huge old-style brown bag for 10 buck! When looking for second-hand house/kitchen ware, with this sale, you can't go wrong! I've picked up 3 bags worth in the last year and a half, and haven't needed to buy anything anywhere else!
It's also the kind of place that you can find great finds -- You've gotta really look, and best to pop in often to scope them out before they are gone!
I once got a lightly worn portable BBQ from Zoe's for $10 ... we replaced a few parts and got it working (extra $25)... the same one is still in stores new for $180!! steel of a deal if u ask me!
Great jewelry finds.. and I always love their window displays!! :) GREAT pieces! -

Zoes store on 14th is the best!! I love this store!! I go in at least once a week because their is always something new i want and always more coming in. Real prices, not crazy ones like in 'consignment' stores. I go there first for alot of my needs and wants now. I love the jewelry!!
OH and my first bag sale! Everything you can fit in a good size brown paper bag for 15$? I'm soooo down, and they have them every month!!
I am in love with my ceramic hippo salor figurine!!! -

Zoe's store on 14th is a mish mash of everything, there is always a sidewalk display akin to a garage sale and this always seduces me. So today I decided to check it out. It has everything of course, clothing, shoes, kitchen appliances, jewellery, and knicky knackies but for such a small place I found everything surprisingly organised.
This is a Thrift store folks don't expect anything less than junk and this and that but what I didn't expect were such high prices. Come on a jacket for $100 , you can pick one up at Divine down the street in better condition and at 75% lower in price. This wasn't even vintage and it wasn't even leather.
The dishware was ridiculously expensive as well, Value Village has stuff below a buck that Zoe's was selling at 4 to 5, even Winners could beat the prices here, and it would be new and in better condition. Big no no Zoe.
On the other side of the coin however was the furniture, now I saw a chrome table 50s go for 30 dollars then a 70s retro dining set at 60. I mean both would sell for well over 300 dollars in Vancouver or Toronto. So there is this huge imbalance in pricing.
The women working there are extremely personable, I believe the owner or manager is from Russia and she is very friendly and sweet and the girl behind the counter is fun and attentive. So I guess shopping at Zoe's is the luck of the draw, I mean you can find what you are looking for, stock comes in daily but you may not want to pay for what you find or you may wonder why you paid so little.
What absolutely floors me is that for a thrift shop they have this amazingly hip cool website up, where you can ask questions to Zoe and even find out what has come in and what collectibles they have. Zoe strange.
