One of my favourite thrift stores in Vancouver. It's a nice change from some of the other cluttered digs along Main, plus proceeds go towards charity. But one of my favourite parts about the store is that it is actually cheap, and the pieces inside…More »

This is one of my favourite thrift stores in the Greater Vancouver area because I almost always walk out of the store with a fantastic find. It's located right across from the New Westminster skytrain station so whenever I have a bit of time on my…More »

They've always got some sort of sale going on so you're bound to find a good deal here, whether it be shoes or dresses going for half off.

I've walked away with some great finds from Retro Rock. There's the pink polka dot fifties dress that fit me…More »

Their location right in the heart of downtown Granville makes it almost impossible for me to not pop in whenever I'm nearby. They've got a large selection of both new and vintage items so you can find almost anything in here: belts, scarves, leather…More »

It's a bit smaller than other stores along the Granville strip and easy to miss because it's upstairs, but it's definitely worth dropping into every now and then.

I like Used for it's selection in accessories, especially in jewelry. You can find…More »

I was walking to lunch with a friend one day when I finally noticed the storefront I'd walked past so many times previous. I can't comment on the clothing because I didn't glance at them at all. I went straight for the jewelery.

They have a great…More »

This is my neighbourhood consignment store. I haven't been inside recently but I took the time to cross the street from Guildford mall whenever I had the chance when I was younger.

They offer great quality clothing that keeps up with modern trends and…More »

Located right near the beach, it's a handy store if you happened to forget your bathing suit that day. Otherwise, they offer a plethora of clothing, brand name, at discount prices, like American Apparel and Kensie. I ended up picking up a flowy top,…More »

I popped in while checking out the Goodwill, Value Village, and Liquidation World located nearby. Overall selection is modest; the women's section is of the better stocked areas, taking up about half of the store space. Otherwise you have a small…More »

There really isn't much here in terms of a thrift shopping experience. Selection is sparse in terms of clothing and housewares. The only rack I thought had a decent selection was the women's dresses, but they were mainly wedding and prom dresses,…More »
