Calgary Just Got A Brand New Thrift Store & Everything Is $1 Or Less
If you love thrifting, you're going to adore this. There's nothing better than getting your hands on eclectic, unique, and fashionable stuff without breaking the bank. This new Calgary thrift store takes it up a notch by selling literally everything for just $1 apiece. And the price drops even further if you buy in bulk.
The Women In Need Society (WINS) already has five thrift stores across Calgary. The latest store, named "More Store" is the only one offering the $1 per item offer.
According to a WINS media release from Tuesday, June 9, the store is officially open for business. The thrift store "offers a large variety of gently-used clothing," reads the description.
It goes on to say, "What sets More Store apart is its competitive pricing for shopping in bulk, meaning the more you buy, the more you save!"
You'd think it doesn't get better than just $1 per item, but amazingly enough, it does. If you buy over 100 items, they're $0.75 each.
And if you want to dish out gifts to all your family members, friends, co-workers, or literally everyone you meet, there's an even better offer.
It'll be $0.50 per item if you buy over 250 pieces of clothing. So if you do the math, that's a total of $125 for over 250 items of clothing.
You might need a closet the size of a Beverly Hills mansion to store all those pre-loved beauties. You might also be featured on an episode of Hoarders. Both are equally iconic, we don't judge.
The store is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It's located in the southeastern region of Calgary. So if you're ready for an epic day of shopping, you know where to go.
The announcement read, "Proceeds from our More Store go towards WINS programs, resources and operations to ensure vulnerable Calgary women and their families can emerge from poverty towards self-sufficiency."
The same release also discussed how the WINS organization contributes to sustainability through its thrift store operations.
"Over the years, WINS has rehomed, repurposed or recycled 3.3 million pounds of clothing and items, and that number grows every day," the announcement said.
Whether you want to check out the style of the latest thrift store in town or you want to get a bit of retail therapy out of the way, this thrift store should check all your boxes.
