re-Source Thrift Store (Barrie North)

Locations:

Address: 221 Cundles Rd E #6, Barrie
Address: 28 Commerce Park Dr Unit B, Barrie

The re-Source is hands down one of the best thrift stores in Barrie. Or should I say the two best thrift stores in Barrie because there are in fact two locations! The prices here are lower than the for-profit thrift stores (*value village*), and purchases actually help the community. It’s a good spot for budget-friendly clothes (kids clothes especially) and housewares, and perfect for treasure hunters. The shop is smaller but packed with finds at great prices. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The re-Source Thrift Store supports Christian Education and is run entirely by volunteers.

The Rummage Room

Location:

Address:272 Innisfil St Unit 1A, Barrie

The Rummage Room in Barrie is a family-run thrift shop offering quality used clothing for the whole family, sold by the pound. Prices start at $4.99 per pound, with a discount for purchases over 10 pounds. Open on weekends, the store has a large selection of items and a fitting room for customers to try on clothing.

Talize

Address: 400 Bayfield St, Barrie

Talize in Barrie offers a solid selection with prices that are comparable to Value Village. The store is well-organized, with clothes sorted by colour, making it easier to find what you’re looking for. Thrifting here tends to be more hit than miss, thanks to the variety. There are change rooms, and they allow returns for a gift card. Keep an eye out for the manager’s specials for deals. If you’re in the area, it’s a decent option for thrifting.

Stuff

Locations

Address: 44 Dunlop St E, Barrie
Address: 525 Bryne Dr, Barrie

Stuff is a unique blend of a curiosity shop and thrift store, owned and operated by a Canadian family with two locations in Barrie. The one on Dunlop offers a mom-and-pop feel, and has more of a curated boutique experience vs the Bryne location.

Stuff features a very large and well-organized store on Bryne Drive. This location stands out for its broad selection, offering almost everything at prices better than Value Village. The staff here are noted for being helpful and friendly. Cleanliness and organization are key highlights, making items easy to find. Shoppers also benefit from the convenience of change rooms.

Mission Thrift Store Barrie

Address: 504 Big Bay Point Rd, Barrie

Mission Thrift Store in Barrie stands out for its cleanliness and organization. Staff, all volunteers, are helpful and knowledgeable about the store’s operations, including auctions. It’s a go-to place for those hunting for treasures, known for its bright environment and competitive prices. The store supports charitable causes, carefully selects donations, and ensures quality. It offers an auction option, high-quality items, and maintains top-notch cleanliness, making it a favorite among Barrie’s thrift shoppers.

May Court Club

Address: 54 B Maple Ave, Barrie
Website

May Court Club is run by a group of women focused on supporting the community. They offer high-quality clothing and accessories at great prices. Only items in the best condition are accepted, and all clothing must be on hangers. They use unique lighting downstairs, so don’t worry if some items aren’t accepted. It’s important to know all proceeds go back to the community through volunteers, making sure it’s a genuine community effort. While it’s a consignment shop, not a thrift store, its community focus earns it a spot on the list. Stock changes fast, so there’s always something new to find.

Salvation Army Thrift Store

Address: 11 Essa Rd, Barrie

This Salvation Army Thrift Store in Barrie has friendly staff and good organization, even on busy 50% off days. Prices are generally fantastic, though some items might be overpriced. It’s a great spot for finding treasures. The store is quite small but worth a visit.

Habitat For Humanity Huronia Barrie ReStore

Address: 571 Bayfield St, Barrie

The Habitat For Humanity Huronia Barrie ReStore is a place with constantly changing stock. You might find bargains or just an interesting mix of items. It’s great for finding unique pieces like a brand new mini fridge for $50 or restocking on tools like screwdrivers. The store boasts a huge selection of quality furniture, lighting, kitchen and bathroom essentials, including doors, tables, chairs, cabinet sets, tiles, and more.
