The Salvation Army Thrift Store

Low prices, better than value village

The staff was SO friendly and kind. Just nice to just poke around and get out of the hustle and bustle.

Friendliest staff, most unique merchandise, literally on the ground providing much needed services to those in need...WHY WOULD YOU GO OR DONATE ANYWHERE ELSE IN VICTORIA??? Why? Ask yourself that at night, ok? Why

Update: No fitting rooms. And the prices are pretty insane now. They used to be really good and affordable ($5-10) but seeing some things priced at $14.99 up to $30 I'm like dude this is a thrift store. It's secondhand. People have donated this stuff. And it's a little disheartening to see it so expensive.I love seeing the knick-knacks, the glassables. It needs more kids stuff. And it's little off-putting to see cards, papers/art stuff and religious books get ripped up and thrown into the bin outside. Because people don't agree with what's being donated or whatever, but I don't think people should be ripping up the books that are donated to them You could donate them to another place... Or use it as arts and crafts material.Previous:I personally find this one that I visited in Brentwood Bay one of the best thrift stores even while it's small it had a lot of selection... And the prices were epically amazing.

Very nice thrift store. Clean and bright.Find prices are creeping too high for donated items but still a good place to shop for so many things

My boyfriend and I went to donate a ton of good quality items to this store in Brentwood Bay and the woman working there was so disrespectful, and rude. She seemed annoyed taking our stuff in and very rudely denied some of our items. Not kind, or welcoming at all and it seemed like we were such a bother to her.I almost wanted to donate our things somewhere else.

The store is reduced in size, fewer hardlines (household) items and focus on clothing.Good selection of quality items for the whole family at good prices. Winter wear on sale while it's still winter in rest of Canada; got a Gap winter jacket for $8.Staff are friendly. The wasn't too busy when I visited.

I purchased a leather belt from here, many years ago. I have worn it hundreds of times, and often remember the wonderful Salvation Army, and their cool little shop, in Brentwood. I am happy to donate, and to shop there as well.

Large selection and friendly staff!! :)However warning to those with epilepsy- The only reason I took a couple stars off is because I couldn’t stay in the store long unfortunately, the lights have a fairly strong strobe effect going on (might not be as noticeable for some but I noticed it right away) and I have a seizure disorder and despite being seizure-free for 5 years now within a minute of being in the store I could feel a potential seizure coming on (once I left the store I was fine). The lights towards the tills seemed to function fine but something funky is going on with the lights towards the back right corner of the store, as well as by the toy section.I just felt it necessary to put this out there incase anyone else with epilepsy or seizure disorders plans on going to this particular location as it’s a potential safety/health concern.Edited to add- when I was in here a few months ago the lights were fine so this must be a fairly new issue.
