    Good selection and well organized. Kind hard working staff. Prices were good. Found a couple of treasures to take home.

    Tiny shop but packed with goodies. You have to do some digging but the items I got were amazing and the prices were unbelievable.

    Her prices are terrific because her main goal is to keep things out of the landfill - I believe the shop name stands for "Green Earth Matters".

    I've been a regular shopper at Savers since I started shopping there during Covid. There are SO…read moremany good clothes to be had. One might be surprised by what people donate. I like that I'm choosing a more environmentally friendly option while also enjoying the savings to our budget. The only thing is, you have to look the clothing over really well before you buy. Some people donate clothes that have holes in them. I don't understand why people do that, but they do. I've told my husband that I have the best wardrobe I've ever had in my life since I started shopping at Savers/Goodwill. It can be a little overwhelming when you go in, so go with the idea of shopping for just a few items. Then, if you have the time, browse a few other areas. It is always so much fun to see what you might find. The return policy is exchange only. If you can try it on in the isle, then you know if it fits. If you cannot try it on, then plan carefully for a return (exchange). Buy used!

    I came here for the first time on a Monday with my mom, who's more familiar with this store. She…read moreasked a few staff members about the "color of the day" discount, but the experience wasn't great -- the first person was dismissive, the second just guessed, and the third at the register was pretty snappy, finally telling her that the discounts aren't until Wednesday. That miscommunication set the tone a bit. The store itself is fairly organized for a thrift shop, but I'm not sure if the clothes are cleaned before they hit the racks. Pricing was on the higher side for secondhand items. I found a top for $13 that easily felt like it should've been $5 or less. Unless the money goes to a good cause (which wasn't clear), it felt a little overpriced. Location-wise, it's in a rougher part of town with a visible homeless population, and I honestly didn't feel very safe walking in and out. That's not necessarily the store's fault, but it did affect the overall experience. Overall, I may or may not come back. There were some decent finds, but between the staff interactions, prices, and location, it wasn't the most welcoming visit

The person who gave a bad review due to rudeness must have different expectations than most. The people who own the place are not there to entertain you, but there to help only if needed. When I went in I got to wander around without being bugged by the staff. When I did have questions they were more than willing to help. I found newly made Mexico furniture that was just outstanding. I bought two pieces that would have cost hundreds more elsewhere. When I told the owner I was looking for a Southwest table he said "just text me the pictures of what you want & I will send it to my Vendor in Mexico. He can make it to order at a much better price than anywhere else in NM" When I went there to load my heavy pieces the owners family member came out to help me. Totally not required by them, just great people. Some prices were high, but there are many things there consignment so owner has no control over them. This is a must stop.

Thrift stores, much as they can unveil diamonds in the rough, are indeed labor-intensive and exhaustive. Good flea markets refuse to allow worn and torn merchandise to sit on any shelf. The Family Indoor Flea Market offers booth after booth of delightful finds, and yeah, a lot of this stuff might be sitting in your grandparent's cabin in the mountains, but there's plenty of retro goodness tucked alongside at prices that compare or often beat what you'll find at your local Goodwill. I didn't buy anything here, but I spent about a half hour admiring the goods and I can think of four or five items I'm itching to pull my consumer trigger finger on. Albuquerque is awash in flea markets, which makes a ton of sense because, hey, this entire state is about two decades behind the times and so there's plenty of Rubik's Cubes to go around. There's a ton to find, here: furniture (not couches, but tables and chairs galore), decorations, lamps, comics and kids items, you name it. And again, I was often astonished at the cost. Here's a nudge: some of these vendors are seriously desperate for a sale. Cheap, you hear me? And I can dig that. I'm cheap. Sounds good to me.

    I would return. I love antique stores where you know there is a deal waiting to be found. This…read morestore is more high class than a thrift store but not as over-priced or pretentious as a Brass Armadillo (big city antique store chain). Items were responsibly priced. Each Beanie Baby was $4.00. It's a bit cluttered but that's the adventure! As another reviewer mentioned the owners are wonderful people. This is the type of place you should visit and purchase something at because you want to support local business owners. Some items you would find here: toy collectibles - beanie babies, my little pony, Barbie, McDonald's toys, cookware, really unique items like a wooden tic tac toe board, Christmas ornaments, furniture, and some great tea pots.

    The owners are a sweet elderly couple who don't sell anything online. I like shopping here just to…read moresupport them. I think their business is REALLY struggling with the construction on 4th St, so I'm hoping this review will help get some locals in to keep them going. It's mostly smalls... figurines, knick knacks, glasses, decor, collectibles, some art, etc. Not too many things I'm usually in the market for, but I did find an amazing early 1900s coat rack, and they let me buy one of their display cases. They had a good selection of southwest jewelry for awhile, but last time I went in some savvy shopper had swooped nearly all of it up. They usually have some rusty dusty antiques out front, so it's easier to spot from the road. They have a small dedicated parking lot too. Give 'em a look!
