Toronto is getting a thrift market this month where everything will be free!

The market in question, REmarket, is held by the St. Lawrence Neighborhood Association Waste Reduction Group to reduce waste in the community. 

On the first day of the 2-day event, there will be a market called FREEmarket where anyone can come in and take whatever they want from the available selection of donations and/or make donations at the same time.

Your ‘trash’ could be someone else’s treasure and vice versa!

Repair Café Toronto will also be fixing clothing, jewellery, computers, home electronics, toys, and more on location!

If you’re wondering, “What’s so spooky about that?” well, just like last year, the market is expected to have an assortment of Halloween-themed items available to shop. Such as handmade candles, thrifty Halloween costumes, and other handmade goods with a spooky flare. 

That’s not all, though! The organizers have also advertised that there will be some “scary-good” Halloween cocktails to sip on! Who doesn’t love a little sip and shop?
