1. Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Shop
One more star for you, my friend, for years of good service.
My love for the Mennonite Thrift Shop continues to grow. With its weekly tag sale, huge cheapo book selection complete with recipe and craft pamphlets, and consistently the best vintage…More »

This little thrift shop on Stony Plain Road is very hit-or-miss.
Their stock, as could be expected,… Read more »
2. Bibles For Missions Thrift Store
This thrift shop focuses mostly on clothing for people in need, and as a result is pretty picked over, but the careful shopper can, as always, find bargains; I saw a Hugo Boss suit for $4 the other day.
It's usually the little items I take home; a…More »

4. Goodwill Industries of Alberta
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…More »

Super Flea is, hands down, the best flea market Edmonton has to offer. Although in recent years it's… Read more »
6. Value Village
I don't know, Value Village has really fallen from grace in recent years, and I can't remember the last time I actually left this location with a purchase in hand.
Actually, it was a few months ago - I found a few super nice vintage aprons. But…More »
7. Bissell Centre's Thrift Shoppe
Ooh, I adore the Bissell Centre's Thrift Shoppe. As Paula mentioned, they've got an excellent selection of books - in fact, it's probably the best selection of books at any Edmonton thrift store, meticulously alphabetized and categorized. Someone's…More »
8. Discount Thrift Store
This is it - my newest true love in the world of Edmonton thrift. I'm so into it I barely want to expose its existence to the outside world but they could use all the support they can get.
Located one door down from the west end Value Village,…More »
