The Olive Tree Thrift Store - Lloydminster, Alberta

This is my favourite thrift shop in town! Great lighting/smell/music, friendly staff, and I think the prices are appropriate considering how other local thrift stores price items. I have heard many complainers about the pricing over the years, but I think these folks do not understand how much time and effort goes into preparing the donations for sale, not to mention the other costs of running any business. We have also become accustomed to ultra-cheap clothing from unethical corporations, which is not what you are supporting when you shop here.

I am always happy to support this local thrift store because of all the ways they support our community from food rescue to public meals to hampers. I thrift almost all of my clothing, and I have found some real gems and deals over the years here. Can't recommend this Lloydminster pillar enough!

Best used book selection in town! Also puzzle-lovers, they have a ton of puzzles. The store is so clean and organized, and the staff are sweet. Such a great gem with excellent prices.

Had an amazing time at this thrift store! Items were displayed so nicely, lots of variety and loved the book section! Our experience was wonderful, with a bag of items bursting at the seams when we left. I found the prices very reasonable, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Thanks for creating such a beautiful environment!

First time I've experienced a thrift store that doesn't have changing rooms. There were clearly stalls that had been used as changing rooms in the past that were blocked off. The staff were polite and friendly, even when I gave back an armful of clothing items I wasn't about to buy without trying on, though!
I also saw prices as high as $75 for a used jacket 😂

I don’t know who sets the prices for this store but they are waaaay off. 10 dollars for a knitted used, pre owned vest? 11-12 dollars for a used, crooked, 2 row jewelry stand You can get a 4 sheet standing brand new jewelry stand for 7 dollars from Shein, even from Amazon you can get better deals. These are retail prices in original stores. These women do not know the value of things or the market. This is a thtoft store. Nothing major here should be priced over 4-5 bucks.

This is a thrift shop for profit. This store is not out to help individuals getting back on their feet. The prices are unrealistic and if you have two items that are the same and one is price different or lower they won't give you the lower price. This makes no sense when everything is donated to this store and they will not even drop the price of an item that is the same item just marked different. Unrealistic and the workers are that's the price that's it.. again donated items!!!

I was buying message books and one is double the price for the same book it just had a couple more pages n was older. I seen dollar store things things in there priced higher than the dollar store. Written on with marker. Unreal. I always notice this store is not for the poor it’s for the themselves.
