Hands down the best thrift shop in the game! Always organized, and clean. No place to try on clothes but they have mirrors!

This review is based solely on the donation center. I love their drive thru drop off set up here. I just pull up, pop the trunk and they unload your bags. It is very easy,quick and convenient. The staff is very friendly. They offer a coupon to shop with your donation too! read more

5/2/2025 Saw a post on social media that they had put out a stack of video games when I arrived all I saw was 2 good games and the rest of the games are trash. But then I noticed 3 bins hidden full of video games I ask the girl working that department if I can see and buy what's in the bins ? She claim she can't till whatever it's on the shelves sell first. I also noticed her calling someone in the radio when ever I look away. Then I walk over to Richard and ask him the same question he said they can't do that and then he said his the store manager. I knew he was lying because all the games where put out last night and I know that Richard n the chubby girl are working together either holding the bins for someone else or for then to keep and resell them n keep all the money. Savers should look into this because they are stealing from the company and who ever is inside doing this needs to be let go read more

This store is very clean and has a ton of items to look through. It does not smell at all. The prices are way too high for a thrift store! They wanted $15 for a used squishmallow, when you can get a new one at Marshalls or Tjmaxx for $16! You'd be better off buying new stuff on sale at discount stores compared to the sky high prices at this store. I've been to other Savers stores and this one is completely overpriced and out of touch with their customers. read more

I drove far to check this place out to purchase something with a physical coupon I had after making a donation. They don't accept the paper coupon on the opening day. Any manager were not there honoring the coupon for customers. That tells you what you will be dealing with. Never coming here again. Also price is higher compared to other locations in OC and sales tax is higher as well so you are paying more. Parking is limited. You will be lucky to find one or park in other premise and walk. read more

Stopped by because I was in the area and was so surprised by the prices! Just because an items from Zara, h&m, Levi's etc doesn't mean it's worth 17.99+. I was lucky to find a pair of boots that were worth the price but everything else I left behind. Definitely won't make this a regular thrift stop unless I happen to be in the direct area, which is a bummer because the HB and la Mirada locations are great. read more

First time there today, so excited because it's close by. Very clean and well organized but so over priced! Like it's ridiculous how expensive everything is. Such a let down. read more

Savers - $10.99 for this kids size 4/5 Disney sweater. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Lakewood, California

Extremely overpriced. Idk who's in charge of pricing items but it's not right. Thrifting isn't for fashion or profit, it's for people to donate goods and others to be able to afford goods. Saw an item marked for $89.99, not exaggerating. read more

Mixed emotions about the new Savers. I went here on a Sunday morning, right when they opened at 10am. Most of the stuff in there is fast fashion and some vintage that ranges from $4 - $15. The items that are of substance or name brand are marked WAY up. Expect bigger named brand items to range between $20 - $75. Yeah, marked that much up. One plus about the overpriced items is it makes it easy to decide what you want because some of it is so expensive. Let's just say it's easy to pass up these items. A big plus is they have a good amount of inventory. It took me 2 1/2 hours to go through the majority of the store which consists of clothing, shoes, home goods/furniture and accessories. Although one huge frustration was the way they hung their pants/jeans. They hang them sideways which makes it difficult to shop for many reasons. An even bigger negative is they have no fitting rooms which makes it challenging to figure out if you want to spend $15.99 on a pair of H&M jeans because you don't know how they're gonna fit...and it's challenging to find a mirror because all the mirrors are taken with people trying on clothes. On the flip side of that, they do offer an exchange (on clothing and shoes only), with tags attached up to 14 days from purchase if it doesn't work out. Lastly, I was surprised to see they had no cashiers. It's self service only and they do charge for bags so be sure to bring your reusable bags! Overall decent experience but not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit again. read more

I am an avid thrifter so I was excited to check out the new Savers. On the plus side, the store is very clean and well-organized. The household section is quite large. What I really liked is that the art is all displayed on long horizontal racks vs stacked large bins. It was much easier to see everything. Unfortunately the art was generally new, mass-produced stuff. But I have to agree with the other reviews. The prices were all over the place and skewed towards the high end. I found a nice piece of original art for $9.99, which I thought was reasonable. But I saw single decorative ceramic plates marked at $19.99, which is crazy! I'll be back but keep my expectations low. read more

Savers - Got this nice original piece of art for $9.99 - Thrift Stores Near Me - Lakewood, California

I really love this location but I have noticed that they are being shady. I drive from Arcadia to this location twice a week to shop for DVDs but I have noticed the employees re-label the tags for the color of the week. For example, the color is blue this week but they re-label it to orange and do a very poor job of doing so and they just put the orange label over the blue. They should be held accountable for that. How are you ever supposed to get anything half off?? Someone higher than management needs to be aware of this. read more

Don't even bother. Everything here is stupidly overpriced. Dirty shoes that are falling apart for $15? Give me a break. Most of the items I saw were in terrible condition, but had above-retail pricing. I don't see how this place can even survive. read more

Several items were overpriced. Good luck staying in business .... Donated items should not cost more than the original price.

The prices are absolutely absurd. Thrift stores are supposed to be affordable, why is everything here priced as if it were brand new at a department store? Outrageous. read more

Saw a cute dress from target (it was the wild fable brand) it was brand new, and the clearance tag that came from target said $10.98, meanwhile the tag from the THRIFT STORE SAID $15.99. Be so for real. This thrift store is booty, as an avid thrifter I have found some decent items but they are way over priced. read more

I stopped by last week to see if their prices had improved since opening -- resounding no. 6.99 for a half-used candle from Target that still had its original price tag of $5. Garbage like that ALL over the store, and no employees out restocking the merchandise either... probably because the shelves are full of things that will never sell. I still like the other Savers in the area (especially Fountain Valley and Lomita) but this one is a hot mess. Do not shop here. read more

Whoever the pricers are here, need to be fired. There's no way I should see a purse here for $45 and when I search for it online, it's being sold for $16. A jacket I saw here was priced at $28 and when researched, I could get it new for $27. You guys get your merchandise for free but price higher than retail price and average resale price. These are not thrift prices, but rather a money hungry organization ripping off people's generous donations. read more

I had been here once before and was aware of their insane prices. They have Ross tops for 7.99 that only cost 5.99 at Ross. I went in anyway and actually found a new in package dremel tool for $2.99. What a miracle. It was worth the purchase just for the accessories!! Also noted that employees seem clickish and a lot of gossip going on. read more

Was a bit shocked at the prices on most of the items I was interested in, Definitely not living up to the name Savers! After a walk around looking and seeing these prices I ended up to the media section where I usually end up getting some CD's or DVD's when visiting other Savers, I found 4 CD's that I assumed were $1.99 like all the other locations. When I rang myself up at register it came to about $35, WTH! I then looked at the price stickers and one was $14.99 and the others were around $7.99!! Used CD's at those prices!! I kept the one that rang up at $1.99 and had the employee take off the others, he then informed me they have someone who prices the items up in the back who looks up values on the internet and prices the items closer to those sales rates. Unbelievable, might as well just get them on line and save the drive and time. Sad to see this Savers does this, I have not seen this at the other locations. Will not be back to this location again. read more

Do not waste your time!! Way overpriced you can buy most of the items new for cheaper

I am an avid thrifter. I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw they were putting a Savers by my house. Months ago when the sign went up I was driving by & I yelled in excitement & scared the heck out of my kids in the car with me. I called my thrifting buddy & we were counting down the days! I finally got in there today & I was horrified by the prices! I always expect Savers to be a little more expensive than other thrift shops but I've always thought it was worth a little more b/c Savers is incredibly organized & well kept. This store took the pricing to whole other level of ridiculous! They had so many things priced way over what their original price even was. They had, ratty, thin, pilled shirts that I would hesitate to even donate for 6 & 7.99! They had shirts that looked like 5.99 Ross shirts for $15! I went through every section & all of it was so incredibly shocking. I did find a toy I think my kids would like & then I went to the register to find I had to ring myself up...& it kept telling me it charged my card, 3x but didn't complete the transaction. An employee had to come re do it all & charge me again. Now let's hope I don't have 4 charges. I understand technical difficulties happen but that was just the cherry on top. They charge soooo dang much for all these things that were donated to them the least they can do is have cashiers & pay them well. I can't even express how disappointed I am. read more

EXTREMELY OVERPRICED compared to other secondhand thrift stores & other savers. They were selling a USED H&M Jacket for $69.99!! Are you kidding me? H&M is the definition of cheap like old navy or the swap meet. A USED dog sweater for $19.99! Lol RIDICULOUS, I'm another person that is Definitely NOT returning. Save your money and go to another thrift store read more

Did not have a great impression of this place. Usually when I go to Savers I walk out getting one thing for the sake of charity and getting an item. However this time I left empty handed and disappointed. Since this location is next to a literal mall, I don't understand some of the pricing of items. Don't get me wrong the store is nice and clean and very organized, but what is the point of that if no one buys anything. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it's their opening month and they're trying to make up for losses but you don't get people to return with inflated prices. I think workers and management there need to ask themselves when pricing things "would I really buy that for that price" and if there's any hesitation don't do it. I donated to this place before they opened and it's sad to see how high they marked my things up. Some that I even spent less on new !!What is really the point of this store ? TLDR clean and big store but overpriced read more

As all the other comments say, for some reason the prices here are pretty insane. I saw a blazer on the end-cap going for almost $70.. Luxury brand or not this is the most expensive Savers i've ever been to. Considering my favorite around the area is in Huntington Beach and all of their prices are reasonable.. I'm just a little unsure why this one is pricing things the way they do. read more

One of the best thrift stores around. Pretty clean with a good selection I Just wish they had dressing rooms.

I'm shocked at how expensive this (Lakewood) Savers is! Many of the items are priced as if they were new.

Huge store, lots of inventory, well organized, helpful & friendly staff. Prices are very high considering the items are freely donated. read more

Savers - Savers tag is higher than retail tag. This was the case for several new items. Overall, it was very overpriced for items that were donated. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Lakewood, California

They have too mediocre of a selection to have such high prices, they have an overstock of clothing that they can't sell because of it. Many of these items can be bought in store new at the same price, they're also understaffed and a drop off station is too overwhelming for just two employees to supervise. Prices should not be this high for free donation, thrift stores are not vintage stores read more

This place is way overpriced. The items are priced as if the items were new. No longer worth it, I much rather buy new.

Always clean and organized. I don't think the prices are too bad. I've found some good finds here like new balances for $8 in newish conditions and cute trinkets for about $3. read more

The place is very organized and big with a selection of items but the prices are not thrift store prices. Everything is overpriced, mugs are like 6-7 dollars and purses 14 dollars not name brand, might as well buy them new. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you want to spend a lot, better off going to other savers with reasonable prices. read more

The store is very clean and organized. I hope you guys are listening. I was utterly shocked at the prices here. I was excited for this store to open and am in absolutely no rush to come back. read more

Always find Great items at Great prices, Never disappointed, This Brand New location is in a great stop visible from the street easily( OLD BIG LOTS LOCATION)... read more

SO overpriced... I can literally buy it brand new for the same price. Absurd. I think I was shaking my head the entire time I was there. Baby clothes for $8+, a Sparts bra from Walmart for $10, small wall decor $10+. Who figured out how to price things here? Is this standard for a savers? Saw quite a few people leaving empty handed while I was parking... I get it now. read more

Good quality used furniture and clothing in plus sizes for men and women. I really love home decorations and I'm a purse lover.

Very overhyped by the local "influencers." When did thrifting get so expensive? Anyhow, I wouldn't go out of my way to check this place out.

Let me start off by saying that I have been thrifting for a good 50 years ( yes, I am that old) . I'm a firm believer in recycling, repurposing, and finding great treasures no longer made. I have been shopping at Savers in Lomita for many years. I'm a florist and try to buy many of my containers there for their uniqueness and value. The new location in Lakewood is a joke. They think it's fashion Island or South Coast Plaza north! The prices are erratic and mostly overinflated. It's Greed with a capital G!! " cheap" glass vases were as much as $15, and nicer ones as much as $39. I saw an old tarnished silver tray for $49. Tops that are usually $5 or so in Lomita were priced $14.99. Linens routinely found at $4-$7 were $12.99 or more! Absurd!! ( considering these are all donations) the store was clean, beautifully stocked and displayed, but will it be a museum because people refuse to shop at these prices? The charity these profits are meant for are going to be the ones to suffer, if sales are low due to seasoned thrifters knowing when they are being taken. I'm willing to return at a different time in case they get a reality check, but in the meantime, I'll coin my daughter's phrase that they should re-name it" Spenders" instead of savers. read more

I will not be shopping at any Savers thridt store from now on, very disappointed. The prices were exorbitant. Who is arbitrarily and high of drugs to be pricing these clothes, toys and everything else in this store? Yes, you are newly opened. The store is clean, organized, massive, and has a ton of selection. But your prices do not warrant the quality, style, and brand of the items in here. For example, behind their "exclusive" counter, there was a vintage Golden Barbie box with the incorrect doll. The clothes and accessories were in dirty af condition priced at $50! Another example, next to it is a box of vintage "Barbie" and Ken clothes and accessories priced at $99, whose accessories were not original, they were china dupes, they were not original Barbie clothes, they were china dupes, there was one skipper sweater with holes and a few Ken clothes (this was the only ones that warranted vintage pricing) but still not at $99. Do you even know what you're looking at? Just because you Savers, chose to invite influencers to shop your store first before opening, makes you deservable to price your DONATED items at a higher price point? No Savers, this makes you greedy, and it's not for charity anymore. Goodwill and Salvation Army only, and don't be like Savers. read more

savers has really gone nuts. not sure who is doing the pricing. dude you get it for free and charge pricing that are higher than if it were new. greed...straight up greed. I won't be shopping at savers read more
