You’d think this place would deliver great value given its name, but prices here are virtually the same as if you bought the same thing new from Walmart(their parent company, btw). Everything is messy and seems disorganized, but some things are useful to get from VV, like individual cutlery sets or random coffee makers(students should pay attention). If you’re out of school and can spare a few bucks, you’re much better off heading to Walmart at the very least and get something new.

Hmph. I have serious bones to pick with Value Village. However, it remains to be one of the few remaining second hand stores in Kingston and I’ll begrudgingly cart out to the wasteland of West Kingston every now and then to pick up some new duds. My beef is mainly the price. The prices have really gotten stupid over the last few years… However, they do occasionally have great steals and I have many a shirt, pair of boots and a few jackets that I count amongst my treasured possessions gleaned from VV boutique’s aisles. My other issue is purely philosophical in that Value Village is owned in part by(gasp) Walmart. BUT! My groaning aside, I still head out. Two to three hours later and fifty bucks down I’m usually set for another semester. Also, they usually have random housewares and knick nacks that I’m always forgetting that I need. 20L glass carboy for beer brewing? Right on!
