where our junk go
It has been a while since I went to value village but since the pandemic our house is in dire need of decluttering. I like the fact that I can donate my unwanted items there and they sell it and give profits to charity.
Great store!
I love thrift stores and that includes Valu Village. I always walk out with a bag of amazing finds. I love sorting through the various items until I find MY piece. From new items, to antiques, clothing to furniture, Valu Villge has something for everyone at a great price!
Overpriced junk
I used to love shopping here until I knew better. They have a great variety of merchandise making it a fun place to browse. Their prices however are ridiculously overpriced. I could buy brand new clothing for cheaper in most cases. They do not seem to test their products at all since nearly every piece of electronics I've ever bought there straight up just doesn't work. There are far cheaper more reliable places that actually donate profits, I definitely recommend looking elsewhere.
I like shopping there alot. I always find things that I like and their prices are good. Of course, you have to spend time there to find good merchandise but i think its worth the time and effort.
value village is an awesome place to find absolute anything in varieties but I'm often pissed when I see the prices of their goods. they are highly overpriced most times. its sometimes cheaper to buy it from the main store when on sale or clearance than to buy it from the so-called thrift store, I think something needs to be done about their pricing or better still they should stop calling themselves a thrift store. for heaven sake, these goods were given to you freely.
it should be affordable for both the rich and not so rich. I once saw a used baby dress for $8 whereas I got the new one at the store for $4....
and why would a thrift store be charging so much tax after the high price???
I use to love Value Village but they are no longer my go too. Can you say prices are sky high. I don't like the fact that they charge tax on top of their already high price. I only shop there on sale and even then its not even worth it. I normally end up with 1 or 2 pieces.
I can't even remember the last time I was in this store and I've only ever been a couple of times. It doesn't appeal to me at all. It's either junky items or items being sold for double the price on the original tags that are often still on them. Rip off.
I have bought many things from value village. It is always good for shoes and books. It varies for clothes. Some I find much too expensive for what they are worth, but I actually prefer buying second hand. Makes a smaller ecological footprint.
I have found so many cute mugs and plates for my kitchen at Value Village as well. Generally, the cups and plates are VERY well priced. It is expensive buying things for your kitchen, so this will be the first place I look.
I like Value Village but have found that the prices have increased terribly it the last few years especially for a thrift store. I find that paying $10 for a pair of pants second hand when you can get one on sale new is a little bit odd to me. However, they have a wide selection. I like that it's well organized by sizes and colors. They also have lots of other stuff like toys, books, shoes, accessories, dishware, ect.
Now this company does help out with the community by donating. They also donate left over clothing to other Countries. So in a way it's a good cause. They do have a reward card now and sometimes have some great sale. I find that the customer service has always been excellent at my local Value Village.
I have been shopping at my local Value Village for a long time now and ive never really been too impressed. A few years ago you used to be able to find some really great deals from clothing and shoes to house decor and appliances. i have noticed that the prices just keep going up everytime I go there, like they have used items but the prices dont match. I havent shopped there in quite some time because some of the prices are outrageous for used items! I was looking at a small glass vase and the price tag said .69 cents.. so I said okay ill come back in a few days and grab a few things...I come back 2 days later and the price tag was changed to $2.99! for a small glass vase that was used!? no thanks... Ive also seen some clothing items that you can tell have been worn several times and they are asking 17-23$. Im sorry but I hope they realize you can find this exact same shirt brand new for less than 10$ at another store? I thought it was a thrift store...? Just not impressed. lol
