About

The Salvation Army’s Dunedin City Family Store is at the southern end of Princes Street, which puts it on the same walking line as Dead Souls (393) and the Downtown Book Exchange (426). It is the cheapest stop on that route: a general Family Store where books share the floor with clothing, furniture and household goods.

The Salvation Army explicitly lists books among Family Store stock, and profits fund its community work in Dunedin. Expect a turnover-driven shelf of donated paperbacks, cookbooks and kids’ books rather than a curated range — good for a quick check after the dedicated shops.

Price tip: Family Store pricing — paperbacks usually a few dollars.

What you’ll find

Donated fiction, cookbooks, children’s picture books and general non-fiction among clothing and household goods.
