Mission Thrift Store • Cobourg - Cobourg, Ontario

Store is clean and well organized with good selection. Prices seem a little high. Parking is just so so.

Why people don't shop more at thrift stores I'll never know. It's as if people would rather spend 10 times more money buying "new," than buying the same item almost new for much less.

(It's no wonder so many people are financially stressed.)

The Mission Thrift Store (Cobourg) is by far the cleanest thrift store I've ever experienced. There's no junk. All items are well displayed to the extent you feel as if you're shopping in a big chain retail store, the exception being the prices are significantly lower.

This holiday season instead of buying new, shop at Mission Thrift Store, not only will you be saving money, which you can donate to a local foodbank, you'll be keeping "stuff" out of our landfills.

Used to be really good, but recently charging insane prices. Currently stocking two sets of dishes at $500.00 and another at $999.00. What an insane pricing strategy for goods received at no cost.

A beautifully organized, clean, well run shop, and love that it benefits others so much. We did find prices to be very high on some things but very reasonable on others. I would probably give it a 4.5 out of 5 with that in mind, but it's such a nice place with friendly staff that I'll go for the full 5.

One of the better Mission thrift stores East of Toronto. Prices compared to stores closer to the big city are pretty fair. Staff is friendly and helpful. Parking can be tight when busy.

Very clean and well organized store. Prices a little high.

I wanted to speak about an experience I had:

One afternoon last week I entered the store and shopped around until I realized I needed a cart. when I went to the front of the store and placed the items in the cart one of the cashiers told me I couldn't have my laptop bag in the store and that I would have to leave it with her. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see there was a 'no bags' sticker notice on the door." I replied to her. She said there was and went to go check herself. When she returned she mumbled that someone must have taken it down and that I would still need to leave my bag with her. I did so without arguing.

I suppose next time I will skip a visit if I have work equipment with me. I don't feel super comfortable leaving my stuff with a stranger.

Also, I find extremely rude that I was picked out of a crowd as someone who could potentially steal just because I have a laptop bag hanging off of my shoulder meanwhile older ladies can walk around with large purses without issue.

Spoke with staff, was told the items on display are not for sale yet but to return at the start of the month when they will change the display. Returned and they refuse to sell to me as they want to keep the display up longer, silly to refuse a sale multiple times, terrible service.

Huge store, very bright and easy accessible parking. Not a huge selection on plus sizes (minimal), pricing reasonable but selection seemed to be picked over (could be day or time of year). Lots of staff to ask questions to and modern checkout system.
