Welcome to

Buddy With A Thrift Store!

Looking for pre-loved treasures that still have plenty of life left in them? You’ve come to the right place. Buddy With A Thrift Store, a thriving thrift store located in the heart of Aldergrove, BC, offers a wide range of second-hand goods and furniture that are just waiting to find a new home.

Our store is a friendly, community-driven place where you can find anything from vintage clothes and antique furniture to home appliances and unique collectibles. We believe in giving items a second chance, reducing waste, and supporting our local economy.

Introducing the Cooked Spoon Foundation

As many of you know, we’ve been operating a food bank within Buddy with a Thrift Store, and we’re thrilled to share that it has been a tremendous success! Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to help many individuals and families in need. We are excited to announce our plans to take this initiative further by opening a dedicated food hub in Aldergrove called Crooked Spoon Foundation.

MAJOR ACCOUNCEMENT! Join us on February 28th for our Station House Hub Pub fundraiser in Abbotsford, BC.

Who We Are

Buddy With A Thrift Store is an extension of the well-known and trusted local business, “Buddy With A Truck”. Owned and operated by Jim Romeyn, both ventures share a common goal – to ensure that less waste ends up in our landfills and more goods get a new lease on life.

After years of running a successful junk removal service, Jim realized that many of the items he collected were still in good condition and could be reused. Instead of sending them to the dump, he decided to give them a second chance by selling them at affordable prices. Thus, Buddy With A Thrift Store was born!

Our Mission

We are passionate about sustainability and believe in the power of reuse. Our mission is to promote a circular economy by providing a platform for the community to sell used items at a great rate, reducing the demand for new products and minimizing waste.

At Buddy With A Thrift Store, every purchase you make contributes to a more sustainable future. By buying second-hand, you’re not just saving money – you’re also helping to save our planet.

Our Vision

Crooked Spoon will be a welcoming space where everyone can feel at home. In the beginning, we plan to provide several microwave ovens for those who may not have access to cooking facilities, creating a cozy environment where people can heat meals that are provided in our fridge and freezers and enjoy them at a table—much like a make-it-yourself restaurant. This will be a place of comfort and nourishment for those in our community who need it most.

Ultimately, we aim to establish a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals for anyone who needs extra help. We believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, and with your help, we can make this vision a reality.

Officially A Charitable Organization

We are also excited to share that Crooked Spoon, along with Buddy with a Thrift Store, is now a Charitable organization. This means that Buddy with a Thrift Store will operate under the Crooked Spoon umbrella, allowing us to streamline our efforts and maximize our impact. Together, we aim to provide even more resources and support for those in need.

What You'll Find

Our store is a treasure trove of used goods. We stock a wide variety of items, including:

Every day brings a new selection of items, so you never know what you might find!

We’re reaching out to see if anyone would be willing to commit to a monthly donation or make a one-time contribution to this cause. Every little bit helps!
