Value Village

[Rayeine]

how I love thee.

I've got a pair of VV pants on the floor beside me right now.

I recently found a wicked neon pink hat there. There are some neat things but you really gotta shift through all the crap. There is a lot of crap.

[*SunShyne*]

It's so much more expensive than it was back in Ontario...

My boyfriend did manage to find a pair of Greed phat pants for $14.99 though, so I guess that's alright

currently wearing a teal/pink/purple polo from VV. It's friggin hideous.

The one in richmond is the best...shh...don't tell anyone.

pussy. VV is a process. You need to go in there with the intention of finding something. I just walk up to the first rack and flip through every article in question until i find something i like. The key is to force yourself to go through every item. I only give each like 1/2 a second, but if the material feels nice, i might give it an extra second to check the label to see what i'm touching. Most of my good find are because i can tell the quality of the material, rather than from looking at it. I just picked up a hideous YOUNG, ANGRY & POOR energie Tee on the weekend for $5.

I'll usually find things, that i wouldn't personally wear, but i'll get them for my friends if they're nice.

I don't like the process of spending that much time looking for something that might not be there.

My brother's gf works at a consignment store that has wonderful stuff and when I went there she filled up a change room with everything I would like.

I am completley addicted...the one in Richmond is pretty good..
I love the Langley one..
heck..
even the one by Logheed...
........
I frequent..
It is my second home.
ooh even better POST PICTURES of what you have found at this motherlove of consignment heaven.

I went to value village to get some books...

I figured the books were around $1-$2.. WRONG..I picked out 22 books and it was over $100!! I definitely wasn't expecting that!

Barter next time. You can usually at least get like 20-15% off if you bring in 1 used item for them. I usually just give them the shirt i'm wearing.

I used to always shop at value village, but it is so expensive now.

My new fave place is Army & Navy. this weekend i went there and got 3 pairs of capri pants, 4 tshirts and a pair of sandals all for 50 bucks! and its BRAND NEW!!! VV Boutique cant beat that, unfortunatley

[mojo]

I am due for another trip, seeing as how my car ashtray is full of change.

VV Boutique and Sally Ann both rock. Have gotten some incredible deals there (Felt fedora for $1, no shit). One in Richmond is nice but the one in Victoria is frelling sweet.

[baby-phat]

^ It's been a good long while since I've hit up the VV here.. think I might just have to swing by there sometime soon-ish. :)

I used to have quite a few old school Adidas jackets that I found there.. wish I still had them. *grumble*
