Thrifting in Ottawa

Ottawa has a useful combination of large thrift chains and nonprofit community stores. The locations are spread across the city, so shoppers can build a route around the west end, central Ottawa or the south and east rather than trying to cover everything in one trip.

Store type matters here. A large general thrift store may be the better stop for broad selection, while nonprofit shops can be especially useful for shoppers who want secondhand purchases to support a local charitable organization.

Donation hours and accepted items don't always match regular shopping hours. If donating is part of your trip, check the official store information before loading the car.
