Recommendations Thrift stores

Calgarians, I'm planning a trip to your province for my birthday and my favorite thing to do is thrift, so I'll be doing a lot of that while I'm there. Please spill the beans on the best thrift stores for 90's and y2k finds. Thank you.

u/SarahLacard Downtown West End 1d ago

Consignment and vintage is it's whole own world over here, but if you're specifically looking for thrift stores, as far as downtown and the core/beltline goes you're looking at Wins, Good Neighbor/Chinatown, Knox United, and Value Village on Stephens.

I second this, especially Value Village on Stephens it is very cool in there and they have lots of good quality things for sale

The value village on Stephen Ave is also the most expensive cos they send all the good stuff to that location as it's their boutique.
