The Salvation Army Thrift Store

This place is pretty good - reasonably priced compared to the other chain thrift stores, relatively organized but often pretty busy. It’s a pretty small store but I usually find one or two things when I go.nLike most places, you’ve gotta stay on your toes.. noticed this empty bag of rice I buy this exact brand of rice at no frills, this is just the packaging priced at $2

I live in the area and have been popping in here for years but recently the store has been overrun by a couple of resellers that literally will be here every time you step in. I typically wouldn’t mind but they all wait around by the sorting back room and aggressively swarm any new rack or new jewelry items that come out.nIt’s a shame because the management clearly knows them well but doesn’t seem to care about it ruining the experience of the regular shoppers. It’s gone way downhill sadly

Smashing IT!nnAnother St. Clair Avenue West gem to drop off any items you don't want.nnThey also have a great selection of clothing.nnFrom casual wear to dress up for the work environment office look.nnThey also have a great selection of glass wear and other trinkets for glam up that favorite house spot of yours that may feel like a need of dash color etc.nnAmazing customer service. The staff at The Salvation Army Thrift Store are so kind and very friendly.nnI even bought a couple of nice dress shirts for the fall season. To give me that snappy snappy professional look.nnGreat spot to drop in, so take a peak you never know when something JAZZY might catch your eye.

A decent selection or goods and clothing, usually reasonably priced, but not always. The majority of the staff are great, but a couple work closely with the group of resellers hanging around there, all of whom will quite happily elbow you out of their way to get to the rack when it comes out from the back.nnIt would be a great place without the aggressive resellers treating it like their private source and the staff encouraging them.

Good selection of clothes but wouldn’t let me use the bathroom at 7.5 months pregnant which I thought was rather appalling!nnA shame they couldn’t accommodate, as the store had some lovely things and have shopped there for many years.
