Kamloops
A large but less affluent than Kelowna, Kamloops supports a far number of thrift stores.
Starting up far north in the Westsyde (Westsyde Road at Mayne) is the Westsyde Fellowship Church shop, only open on a Friday 9-13h. It's a small shop on the top floor of the church complex with mainly clothes but some housewares, games and hardware. Reasonable prices but we've seen nothing of interest. Lots of free lot parking.
In the shopping mall complex on Tranquille Road and Desmond is Flutter Buys of the local Hospice. It has moved to the central building in the complex (facing Tranquille). Lots of the usual items. Free lot parking.
Back along Tranquille towards the bridge at Yew is the local Salvation Army. A medium-sized shop, it has the usual assortment except furniture. Quite a large housewares section. Free street parking.
A bit further down on a side street, Briar Avenue between Palm and Wilson is the local Saint Vincent de Paul. It is a smaller shop with the usual assortment at good prices. Free lot parking.
Downtown Kamloops has at least 3 thrift shops.
On Victoria between 1st and 2nd avenues is the Thrift Seller shop of the local Hospital Auxilliary. This medium-sized sho is well-organised and has everything except furniture. Good prices. Paid street parking.
On Seymour between 3rd and 4th avenues is Thrift City of New Life Mission. This larger medium-sized shop has something of everything. Good prices. Paid street parking.
On Saint Paul between 4th and 5th avenues is the United Church's thrift shop which has moved into new premises around the corner from the old one on 4th Avenue. This small shop has the usual except furniture. Paid street parking.
Reports of a Big Brothers Big Sisters on Seymour between 8th and 9th.
Up the hill on Cariboo Place between Hillside Drive and Laval Crescent is the local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. In addition to home reno wares, this outlet has a lot of housewares and collectibles. Free lot and street parking.
The SPCA is supposed to have one but I haven't been able to locate it.
