Value Village

What an awesome Value Village! It’s no secret that I love a good bargain, and when I popped in here on a Wednesday morning to look for a sock hop costume they were having their 50% off sale — so great!
I’ve been to the 50% off sale at the Merivale V and V and this one was much better. Busy and hectic yes (it was the week before school started), but everything was still really clean and organized and the staff were super friendly despite the lineups.
This Value Village is huge and bright and might by my new fave location. I found everything I needed for my costume, even shoes and jewelry. Can’t wait to come. Heck this place out for Halloween!

I love this Value Village!
It’s a huge store with a ridiculously high big box store ceiling. The quality of the merchandise seems to be higher than average for a thrift shop. My daughter & I delight in our alternative garage sale shopping excursions, picking up things from pretty well every department.
I bring home clothes for my wife that she wears! Seriously ladies!
This gets five stars for 2 different purchases that I absolutely treasure:
1) Randomly found a pair of pristine Clarks Wallabee leather boots in my size for $ 10 — about 6% of what it would cost me at Letellier. Even if they were used, I don’t care as they are coolest pair of shoes ever made and will never go out of style. I’ve recently stepped up my shoe game, but these go great with chinos or jeans. My Father & Grandfather rocked Wallabees ever since I can remember. The Wu-​Tang Clan made them fresh. I didn’t know what it felt like to walk on clouds till I tried on my Wallabees.
2) I picked up a great condition vintage Harris Tweed jacket for $ 12.50 during a recent 50% sale. Genuine Harris Tweed is known as the Rolls Royce of fabrics. It is so exclusive it’s protected by its own Act of Parliament. My beloved Grandpa Smith would often sport Harris Tweed. The kicker was the Harrod’s of Peel Street label, Montréal being where my Grandfather spend nearly all of his 98 years.
The price of these two items could not be beat, and wearing either of these items brings back great memories of the Grandpa who I miss dearly.
