I finally managed to visit one of the church thrift shops in Victoria. or rather the southern fringes of Saanich. It isn't easy as all 4 are closed over the summer and are open only once or twice a week at most, if even.
Off Cedar Hill Cross Road at Palo Alto Street is St. Aidan's United Church which operates its Freindly Octopus thrift shop in the basement.
We didn't make the Wednesday opening but instead a special and larger seasonal sale held on the 1st Saturday of November.
The shop's regular hours are Wednesday 10-14 and again from 16-20. Confusingly, the shop is also open on a Saturday: One source from the church states the 4th Saturday while another states the last Saturday (which could the 5th if the 1st Saturday falls on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of the month depending on if it is a 29, 30 or 31 day month..
