Talize Thrift Store

Great thrift store! Very well organized. They organize by size and then by colour. Doing this makes it easier to shop, as it can be overwhelming when it comes to thrift shopping. Wide range of items. Super friendly staff. Great location, just off the highway with lots of parking in this plaza.

Extremely clean and well organized. Go here for clothes, and Value Village for home goods. The selections of home goods is more sparse here, but the clothing assortment is huge and well laid out by type, size, and colour. Also, great prices. Check out my phonies for more detail.

I use to work here and some of these reviews are actually a little disturbing. So for everyone who wants to know some truth here it is..

1. Shoes do not get glued back together!
2. Items are priced differently depending on the make, quality and the condition it's in. Therefore two of the same items can be totally different because of the condition it's in. You get what you pay for right!?
4. Anything that is ripped or has holes are not to be sold, if a customer mentions it for a lower price it will not be accepted as the clothing is not worth selling with rips, or holes. And that is not something they want there customers buying.
5. Policy is children must be supervised, it is not the employees fault that this policy is enforced, they didn't make these rules, but remember it is there job to follow those rules that were made out for them. Again they are jsut doing there jobs just like anyone else would do at there job following the rules. Obviously this rule was put into place as others have ruined it for the ones who's children are well behaved but what could you do. So don't blame the employees for doing there job. (I have a child as well so I understand the frustration, but it's not the end of the world.
6. Every item that goes into the fitting room is to be counted when it goes into the change room and when it comes out, and this is enforced so things are not stolen. Again not the employees choice it's there job to do so.
7. Things may have went up in price, but as the market goes up with everything so does every other business, but there clothes are not more then brand new clothes of there name brand. Such as ya maybe you'll buy Lululemon for $20 here, but you won't find lululemons for $20 at the actual store there pants start at $100. But yes of course you can go buy $20 brand new Walmart pants but they aren't the same quality of lululemons here used or not. So if you want to go buy brand new Walmart clothes go for it no one is stopping you.
8. They don't do returns on sale days as it's way to busy. Therefore come before that day or after.

Lastly, the employees in there are doing a wonderful job especially linda, she's my favorite, always so nice and offers help when I need to find things and very respectful. Even working with her, she had always been so nice and kind to not only me but the customers as well.

Great store with tons of stuff prices are very reasonable much better than value village

Clean store, Great prices and finds. Staff is very friendly

Huge store, awesome prices and friendly staff. Lots of parking, amazing clothing selection as well as lots of books and board games.

Very organized, great prices. Everything is in order by colour, very easy to find stuff. Way better than value village.

Fantastic store and layout! Very organized, including by colour, size and type of clothing. Super friendly and helpful staff! I never leave empty handed 😁 managers daily special is an awesome idea that not a lot of other stores have been doing - allowing great turnover rate! Always has different sizes, great prices and friendly staff 😊

I found the exact item I had been looking for (new) online within 10 minutes of being in the store! This is the easiest time I’ve ever had looking through a secondhand shop because the items are all fairly good (100% silk tops, popular brands, new with tags).

Amazing prices for baby clothes. We are expecting a little girl in January. Stocked up today on some clothes: sleepers, diaper shirts, dresses for very good prices. Signed up for the membership as well, so I will be able to rack up credits to use on future purchases. Selection of items is outstanding. For sure I saved over $120 just today on baby clothes. Omg I love Talize!

My first impression of Whitby Talize was how clean, bright and well-organized it is. Some prices for clothing seem a bit high if the garment is shabby, or a jacket is missing a belt. Other than that, I love shopping there.

Great donation experience this morning. The donations fellow was welcoming and pleasant. We chatted for a moment about the types of items I have to donate, as I downsize, and he was positive about how Talize can use all of them. Very helpful. I will donate here again.

Great place to find used clothing, housewares, etc. Everything is very well organized. Clothing is organized by size and colour which makes it very easy to shop. Store is very clean and staff are very friendly.

Value Who? Talize surpasses Value Village by a mile. The prices are comparable to smaller scale thrift stores, but the store is far more organized and bright. They always have a special going on whenever I go in. I've never walked out empty-handed. The prices are very fair for most items. Most items are in good condition and the store is set up as organized as a Winners or another department store. I really like it.

Beautifully big store, love the prices, love what they sell. the staff truly work hard and they are polite. I swear this is better then value village this is a genuine thrift store that sell the product. I believe salvation army/value village keep the good stuff for themselves because I can never understand why the crappiest junk is on the shelves.

My boyfriend and I come here every week at least once. We love checking out what's in store. My boyfriend has found some great electronics for amazing prices, and I've found some cute clothes and books! We love coming here!

Best thrift store in my opinion! I found a fully functioning 72hz monitor there for $15 and it worked without any problems. 100% would recommend visiting.

I shop at the store in Whitby and I love it. Everything is very clean and there is lots of room to move around. If you go on the 50% day the prices are unbelievable. I've picked up Tommy Hilfiger sweaters for $4 that were just like new. It's a great place for beach coverups, hats, belts and purses. On their regular price days I 've bought a lovely straw purse there last fall and it was $4 and a Tommy Hilfiger leather belt for $5. The quality of the goods and the prices are better than other second hand chain stores by far.

I love Talize! This is the best thrift store around here in Durham as far as I know in terms of clothing. They have great quality products and the selection is amazing! Also, I love their manager special! 😍🤩

Impressed by how clean and nice the store looked! I came and donated some clothes that didn’t fit me anymore since I’ve lost weight and decided to treat myself to some new(ish) pieces. Way better than Value Village. Prices are great too. I’ll be back.
