A 3-block stretch of Johnston Road in White Rock is home to 5 thrift shops, a large number for any given street in B.C. They're all also located on the west so easiest to visit driving towards the water.
At the top of the hill is WorldServe at the NW corner of the junction with the aptly-named Thrift Avenue. This Christian world relief aid shop is very nicely organised and is rather spacious though medium size. There seems to be a nice collection of nice items. Apparently reasonable prices. Parking in the all lot out front.
Across Thrift is The Local Thrift Shop that assists local animal welfare charities. Though a small shop, it is full of nice items. Prices vary. Street parking.
Further down is the local Salvation Army store. It's the usual SA medium-sized store with usual SA prices. Street parking.
On Prospect Avenue just off Johnston is the White Rock Hospital Auxilliary shop. It is a smaller shop but has quite a few things. Very popular and prices seem reasonable. Not stuffed too full but has a good selection of everything. Small parking lot out front or free street parking.
Going further down Johnston is the Life Church thrift store. Though small, it has a items which may be of interest. Free street parking.
In nearby south Surrey, the White Rock Hospice society has its thrift shop on the south side of 24th Avenue east of King George Highway. Well-organised by volunteers though of smal-medium size, prices may seem high but there's always a sale on something as the inventory ages so check what the discount is for the coloured labels before buying.
