Coquitlam proper seems to be lacking in thrift shops, the only one I've ever visited in the municipality being up in the north.
Two in the southern part, along Austin Heights came to my attention (near Maillardville if you ever wanted to know where it is).
The more interesting of the two is the Como Lake United Church at 535 Marmont Street, open just two day a week, Tuesday 09-13 and Saturday 09-12. The shop is in the basement of the church and is on the smaller side, though seemingly average for a church thrift shop. It has mostly clothing but quite a few housewares and collectibles too. Prices seem a little high though.
The other shop, around the corner at 1206 Ridgeway Avenue, is the Joy thrift shop. I haven't been able to find out too much about this one except it is Korean so a lot of the offerings are Korean or Korean-oriented. Nothing interesting so I didn't see what pricing was like.
