Value Village maintains its streak as best place to go for new-to-you clothes. A trip to VV requires some searching, but it generally turns up a treasure or two. It’s not uncommon to go home with a brand new outfit for $5. And VV is always the best place to go for Halloween costumes. 42 Canal Street, Dartmouth, 463-4054 and 209 Chain Lake Drive, 450-5134
