Off the highway in the northern Okanagan, there are 3 thrift shops that I know of. Well worth visiting.
In Armstrong, the famed home of some cheddar that isn't made there anymore despite the brand name are, surprisingly, two thrift stores. Both are quite a ways off the highway in the middle of the old town.
The first one is Kindale, which was founded here to help developmentally-disabled people and employs them. Armstrong is still home. The thrift store is on Patterson west of Okanagan. Medium sized shop with a plethora of things. Good prices, fairly arranged though a bit shabby. Maybe something for everyone. Street parking as well as a lot across the street.
Across the rail track on Pleasant Valley west of Okanagan is the local hospital auxilliary. Medium size again. It has nice arrangement and a fair amount of stuff, perhaps a little more than Kindale. Good prices. Street parking.
Heading north to Enderby, the Twice But Nice community thrift shop has moved to Cliffe Avenue on the west side of the highway from its former home on the east side. Newly reopened, I don't think stock has been brought out during our visit in late June. Small, nice old-fashioned store. Fair prices. Street parking.
