Change Is Good

Zero bias, best thrift in the city. Change is Good is owned and operated by the Calgary Dream Centre and is a social enterprise. For those unfamiliar that means 100% profits go towards the addiction recovery programs offered through there. So literally every purchase is a donation. HOW COOL IS THAT. What makes it that much cooler is everything is local. A local organization that then donates (things not sold) to local organizations. The store is split into 2 parts. Downstairs is all donated clothing and shoes. Wholesale items and small wares and jewelry from local makers!! 80% of the store is local - Calgary or Canada - which is incredible to further support small businesses. A beautifully, dare I say, perfectly curated space. Not to mention the GREAT prices for clothes. Throw it on the top of your thrift list if you’re visiting. This is not a place to miss.

I love everything the shop stands for but my one biggest qualm is with the sizing, I almost never find anything in my size. XL according to them sits at around a 32” in jeans. Which is really heartbreaking, as someone who sits around a 36” waist which is not an uncommon size. The jewelry and house decor do help make up for it a little bit.

Damn this vintage store has the cutest stuff. Got. Really cute outfit together for a steal price

Wow! I am an avid thrifter, and while I love to sift through racks at any old thrift store, I did not realize how much I would LOVE shopping curated thrift. I've gotten so many Aritzia and brand name pieces from CIG and have loved shopping their local makers and vendors as well...I seriously cannot leave this store empty handed! Make sure you pop in to Change is Good the next time you are in Inglewood, the entire staff is so welcoming and there is so much to choose from!

Finally found a pair of black Levi shorts here that FIT AND DONT SUFFOCATE MY LADY PARTS for $28. Nice staff too!!!

Great store that always has an incredible selection and friendly, helpful staff!!

Great Store! Great Team! Always new (pre-loved) items on the floor. It is easy to find something to take home every visit! Support local and sustainability all in one place!

I walked in blind, not knowing what this store was at all; and after one of the employees (who are all well dressed and bubbly) explained the mission/concept to me I immediately fell in love. Their selection is top tier, the aesthetic is clean and welcoming, and the service is excellent. You’re doing good things. I appreciate you.
