1. Filmgo Sales
Vancouver, BC V5M 4T1
(604) 456-0515
Category:
Thrift Stores
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
What a find! Filmgo, as the name suggests, sells off former movie props...for cheap. The majority of items on sale are furniture or household goods, but you'll find the occasional pair of sunglasses or shoes too. Not much really to say here, except…More »
2. Button Button
Vancouver, BC V6B 2V2
(604) 687-0067
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Haven't been downtown much since I stopped working there, so I hadn't realized Button Button has reopened. Was so excited to realize that it has!
The glory of Button has always been that it provides the opportunity to find the perfect button you…More »
3. Winnie's Alterations
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R3
(604) 879-7213
Category:
Sewing & Alterations
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Remember my Alison Wonderland winter coat from Dream (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...)? In the end I didn't get the lining replaced last spring - everyone was charging more than I thought it should cost, and besides, it was spring. I didn't need a winter…More »
4. Bob's Shoe Repair
Vancouver, BC V6H 2L3
(604) 731-3890
Category:
Shoe Repair
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, Fairview Slopes, South Cambie
I grew up at 22nd and Oak, and it's safe to say that Bob has been repairing my shoes for close to 2 decades. He does good work, from simple heal tap replacement to more complex sewing or resoling jobs, all for a reasonable price. Not much else to say…More »
5. i-found Gallery
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R5
(604) 876-2218
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Jewellery,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
i-found Gallery is the new occupant of the space vacated by my beloved Mihrab Gallery. And while it's no Mihrab, it's pretty cool in and of its own right.
The bulk of the merchandise (according to their website) is stock from an old Toronto warehouse…More »
6. Beansprouts
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R1
(604) 871-9782
Category:
Children's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Beansprouts is top of my list when shopping for the little people in my life. These days I tend to buy their funky new styles for my friends' babies, but when I've got little growth-spurters of my own (whenever that may be), I know I'll be digging…More »
7. Red Rose Antiques
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P8
(604) 875-8588
Categories:
Antiques,
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I am in love with the sleigh bed in Red Rose's window. I must visit it once a month. If you see it, please don't buy it. One day I will have the money. It's my bed. It just doesn't know it yet.
What you CAN buy, is any of the other classy and classic…More »
8. Front & Company
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 879-8431
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I don't shop at Front as much as I used to, now that they're as big as they are, it can feel a bit daunting for a long time shopper who remembers when they were a quarter the size. But it's still definitely a great place to get a deal on gently used…More »
9. Ages Ago Used Furniture & Antiques - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R1
(604) 876-3055
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Antiques
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
There is one thing and one thing only to say about this place, and that is: it is cheap. It's cluttered, hard to find things in, and much of what's on sale is junk. But equally much is totally serviceable, and some of it is even fabulous. And because…More »

'Zza! (8)I love flatbreads with sauce, and toppings and cheese melted on them. I'm also pretty picky about them. |

Le Tour de Poutine (5)Fries. Cheese curds. Gravy.Since moving back to Vancouver, I've sampled the handful of establishments claimed by others to serve Vancouver's "best" poutine. Three of them were sampled in a whirlwind "tour de poutine" when a poutine-loving friend visited from Sweden. |
