Looking for huge places.
I love the feeling of being lost in the racks. Spending a whole day browsing and falling into a trance of looking at every hanger and tag.
I live in SF but open to anything accessible by BART or Caltrain. Yes, even all the way to Berryessa/San Jose.

I grew up dirt poor and got all my clothes and gifts and home decor from the Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc growing up. I was in a small area and we didnt have resellers or any of that so you could actually get useful stuff. Now I'm an adult and I'm still dirt poor, but this time I live in Toronto. You see the problem.
I basically can't afford to buy clothes new at all. I've been wearing things to holes for years.
Any time I try to look up thrift it's vintage clothes resellers. Always massive amounts of money. The stores that ARE actual thrift stores get bought out immediately by people who can afford to buy new but don't. And almost none of these stores have furniture, it's just clothes... it's a hostile landscape out here! Plus I can't get out of Toronto itself easily because I don't have a car.
Are there any recommendations for actually cheap thrift stores, especially ones that have furniture, home decor etc, in Toronto proper? Things that aren't either run by or descended upon by vultures? I'd be incredibly grateful. FB Marketplace and the like are hit or miss, and I'm looking for physical locations.
Clothes, furniture, knick-knacks, anything. The quirkier the better.
My niece is in Toronto for another week and she’s very much into thrifting. Does anyone know good thrift stores with decent selection and reasonable prices?
Trying to support a friend through a makeover! Looking for witchy, cottagecore style clothes that aren't overpriced! Any suggestions appreciated!
I’m relatively new to Toronto. Since I came here I’ve been having a really hard time finding thrift stores that sell anything other than clothes. I’m just hoping to find recommendations for thrifts that sell old nick knacks too, like tea cups or picture frames.
Hey guys! I will be visiting Toronto for the first time very soon and just wanted to know if there are any thrift stores you can recommend?
I have been looking for thrift stores that carry a wide selection of second-hand goods. Ever since Thrift Town closed shop during COVID-19 it has been difficult to fill that void (RIP El Sobrante Thrift Town). I tend to look for camera gear and old electronics. ECO-thrift in Vallejo was my second go-to spot, but what are some places you like checking out for fashion or electronics?
i’m so sick and tired of buying overpriced things on depop. what r some thirft stores that have actual like nice mcbling/trashy 2000s stuff like juicy couture, bebe etc ik thirft stores r usually a hit or miss but any recommendations would be appreciated 😊 also pls no plato’s closet been there done that🙏
This might be an odd question, but would anyone like to share their favorite thrift stores?
Eco thrift in Hayward
Menlo Park has a couple right downtown that are small but great for nice clothes - the ACS Shop and the Goodwill Boutique. The main chains (Savers and Goodwill) have started trying to compete with the resellers on price so it is not the deal it once was. I love vintage Hawaiian shirts and I have found that they're usually cheaper on eBay than from savers or SA any more.
Hi! My mom is looking to go to an awesome, quirky thrift shop while she’s here for a visit. What’s your fave?
toronto thrifting spots are pretty saturated and expensive and was wondering if there’s any places people in toronto go to to buy affordable clothing. value villages, salvation army’s, and plato’s or anything at kensington are so overpriced in Toronto that it’s hard to find cute and affordable clothes. could anybody please recommend any?
I love thrifting but haven’t found many stores with a decent selection for men
I'm heading to SF and heard it was great for thrifting, where you're fav spots to check out? thanks :)
Can’t find any recent posts on this. What are some of the best thrift stores in the Bay Area for good quality clothing (Not old navy, h&m, forever 21 clothes). I checked out the ones on Mission in SF but they aren’t usually my aesthetic - I am looking for stuff I can wear everyday, nothing flashy.
I have heard the “Rich people areas” like Palo Alto, Menlo Park have good ones. Would you guys recommend any areas/thrift stores in particular?
Was wondering if anyone had recommendations of places to go thrifting while here? Are there any areas that would have better stuff than others?
I’m heading to toronto beginning of June so if there’s anything else cool happening pls lmk <3
I've been thrifting here for 10+ years. Never full time but always a big hobby so I often hit a couple on the weekend and maybe make a couple stops during the week. I also have been going to the bins since just before covid.
I have NEVER found anything like what these people on social media are finding. A pair of nicely faded carhartts or pre-90s levis are totally out of the question. Any "grails" like a cool band shirt or awesome pair of Levi's seem totally out of the question. It seems like people elsewhere can find at least one decent pair of pants or a cool single stitch t shirt within a month of thrifting.
Is the bay area just really bad for thrifting? Again I don't do this as a full time job but still, the difference really shocks me.
I’m looking to upgrade my wardrobe but not a fan of aggressive consumerism and overpriced (albeit beautiful) products - any recommendations for good thrift stores/consignment stores that may also carry more luxury brands ?
