Thrift Stores in Sarnia, ON

“A wonderful place to find hidden treasures. Typically the prices are fair and reasonable for everyday necessities like coats, clothing and shoes.BUT! The last time I was there looking for large frames and vessels to diy, I couldn’t believe how expensive they were! Luckily it was the store manager who I randomly asked for help regarding the majorly inflated prices. She explained to me that she searches social media, Pinterest, tiktok etc to see what DIYs are trending. Then prices the items they have in store higher because of this. She said that people are buying certain items, recreating them and selling them for profit. So she feels that customers should pay a significantly higher price because St Vincent’s should be the one making money. I understand where she’s coming from, it’s a charity that helps people in need, and that’s amazingly beautiful. But the per item price on some (damaged,warn etc) items was the same if not more expensive than buying them new.”

“This is a great store to find old treasures. Or something that you cant afford but can here. The staff is always friendly and caring. It is very clean and well laid out. You never know what you may find. A store that's seems to be supported from the community for the community. Love thrift shopping here...”

“The staff is always nice here, especially the security guard who smiles warmly at you and the gentleman who wears the flower shirts. The store is always so clean as well.”
