Double Take is a thrift store I visit often and encourage you to!
It’s downtown, students receive a 50% off discount, and it is
one the cleanest thrift stores in Toronto. Unlike regular second-
hand shops, Double Take occasionally has sales, so you can walk in and skirts are 30% and jackets could be 50% the next week. This is also my go-to place for belts which are $1, unless behind the counter like the few featured, but as you can see the prices are not much higher.
The store supports Yonge Street Mission, founded in 1896, whose “…diverse programs make a positive difference in the lives of families, seniors, socially isolated adults, homeless street youth, and the many children growing up in our low-income community.” So go shopping! It’s for a good cause.
Location: 310 Gerrard St. E (Gerrard and Parliament)

I’ve never been able to bring myself to go in here because I’m still mourning the late great buy-the-pound that used to occupy this space. I once got a pair of black leather roller skates for 3$. But your post convinced me, I’ll check it out.
I’m glad I inspired you to revisit! I didn’t live here when Buy-The-Pound was in that space. I’m trying to picture what black leather roller skates look like, awesome find!

Yeah Ryerson!! (I’m not in fashion, but in business.)
Found your site through UO…been looking for good vintage store nearby. I think this may be the one, thanks!
Yes! Foxy Boutique and another antique store are on the way if you walk down Gerrard. Great time-killer between classes
Very informative ideas. You mentioned some valid ideas that I had not thought of before. I’ll check back to see if you write any more updates.
