Vancouver, British Columbia

Thrift stores: (thrift stores)
Burcu's Angels (on Main) is the "best store ever". Virgin Mary sucks, Value Vintage is good but overpriced, a few small ones on Main are great. Value Village Victoria Drive sucks, but VV Hastings is great. In Chilliwack, which is a 45 minutes outside on Vancouver, is a Value Village so good and cheap that it's worth the drive. Same with Liberty Thrifts in Abbotsford.

Places to get zines: (zines)
Two of the easiest places to get zines in Toronto are Pages and the Toronto Women's Bookstore. Pages is on Queen West kinda near Osgoode Station (go towards Spandina, sorry, I'm bad with directions...), and the Toronto Women's Bookstore is really close to the corner of College and Spadina.

thrift stores (thrift store)
There are lots of thrift stores in Windsor, including two huge Value Villages (and one is right next to a Salvation Army). But Bibles for Missions, although smaller, is my favorite. They have better prices
