    My girlfriend talks about this store the way my friends talk about their gym grind. Constantly. So…read moreI finally went, mostly to kill time while she shopped. Annoyingly, she was right. It's a discount spot but everything's sorted into actual sections -- clothing, appliances, household stuff, food -- so it's not the dig-through-a-bin situation I expected. Then I turned a corner and found the exact silver watch I'd been eyeing online for weeks and had talked myself out of buying like a responsible adult. Here, the price made being responsible irrelevant. So now I own it. Walked out with that, some work clothes, and a couple of household things we apparently needed. Prices were low enough I stopped doing the math and just grabbed stuff. Staff was helpful even though it was busy. Came to kill time. Left with the watch I told myself I didn't need. Worth a look if you like brand-name things without the brand-name price.

    IMHO Interesting…read moreplace. Finally got a chance to check it out after reading about it. I'd read that it is really cramped and unorganized. I found that there was enough room to move about and aisles were clear. Yes, product is stacked high but not dangerous to navigate. There was one gentleman working, and we said hello. He said if we had any questions, to just ask. We had no idea what to expect or what we were looking for. You really have to take the time to slowly walk around and look high and low. I suppose you can find great bargains if you know your prices and are willing to spend some time there. They had tons of bedding, kitchen appliances, light bulbs and fixtures, huge rugs, weighted blankets, shoes, Water Piks, name brand luggage, and a ton of clothing on racks and some piled to be picked through, plus a bunch of other stuff. I even found some packages of pepperoni, but they were just thrown on a shelf. I guess they're shelf stable... All of these items are close-outs or returned to Costco, or just out-of-season (like the Christmas trees and wrapping paper I found.) If you like going on a treasure hunt, this is your place! I'm sure I'll go back, one day...

Selection: 9/10 - high quality brands, but of course you'll still see Forever21 and SHEIN stuff. 5-10% of pieces had stains/tears so take a close look at everything before buying. Organization: 10/10 - things are actually sorted by size, as well as color! The racks aren't so overcrowded that it's an arm workout to look through things like some other places (*cough* Goodwill). Honestly this alone makes thrifting such a better experience here. Fitting rooms: 7/10 - they're large and have mirrors but there are no hooks to hang garments, and they're fairly dark. They also stay locked so you have to wait around for an employee. Checkout: 3/10 - cashier appeared unhappy to be at work and frustrated by questions.

    Some of the items don't seem to be priced right for the quality and the children's area has quite a…read morelot of gross (visibly dirty) & stained items. $3.99 for a single STAINED baby onsie. There was a girls sundress for $5.99 with a tennis ball sized yellow stain on the front. I feel like if there was an area for stained stuff, or even if it was like $1 per stained piece, or fill a bag for $X, I would take a chance buying to spot treating it. When I asked at the front checkout if they would give a discount because of the stains, they said "no it's priced the way it is because of the stain", acting like that was a low price!

    Went thrifting this afternoon and my first stop was Black and Brown. I'd never been there before…read moreand wasn't sure what to expect. Wow, what an amazing store. They mainly sell vintage and modern secondhand clothes, bags, and shoes for women and men, but they also have new pottery from a designer called Familiar. The store is spacious and carefully curated. There is no thrift shop smell and it looks more like a cute boutique than a secondhand store. You can sell your clothes there, too. There are two floors of women's clothes and a separate men's shop across a little courtyard in the back. Most of the customers when I was there were young adults of both sexes. The store was busy on a Saturday in the late afternoon. Fortunately, they have a dedicated parking lot behind the shop with plenty of spaces. The staff welcomed me immediately when I walked in. I was interested in looking at purses and they had quite a few vintage and newer ones from designers like Coach, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Dooney & Bourke. I didn't buy any, but enjoyed checking out what they had to offer. I didn't pay too much attention to the clothes, except to notice that women's pant sizes on the second floor only seemed to go up to size 11/12. If they had bigger sizes, I didn't see them. Overall, I was impressed with Black and Brown and would like to go back.

    I kept driving by this store and finally stopped in yesterday…read more The store is organized and clean and I found the staff helpful. It took some time to find items that interested me as I looked through the entire store (two floors for women and one for men). Some items were over priced but you can find some good gems here. Overall, I would recommend!

    I have probably made 100+ trips to Savers in the last couple of months. Moving out of a house that…read morewas loved and lived in for more than 46 years, required a lot of donations. The process of being able to pull up to the curb and load a rolling green cart and have the staff help and give a coupon too has been so easy. My mother-in-law asked me where she could easily donate items this morning and I recommended Savers to her as well!

    I used to enjoy shopping at Savers because thrift stores were supposed to be places where families,…read morestudents, seniors, and budget-conscious shoppers could find affordable items. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case. The biggest issue with Savers today is the pricing. Many of the items on the shelves are donated goods, yet the prices often feel closer to retail than thrift store pricing. In some cases, I can find the same item new at a department store during a sale or clearance event for the same price, or even less. One of the most frustrating things I see regularly is when an item still has its original retail price tag attached, and Savers has priced it higher than the original selling price. How does that make any sense? If a brand-new item originally sold for less, why should customers pay more for it at a thrift store? The pricing on shoes and clothing is especially hard to understand. Seeing used shoes priced at $49.99 or more is becoming increasingly common. At that point, why wouldn't a customer simply buy a new pair? The same applies to clothing. Many items are marked so high that I can go to Nordstrom Rack and find brand-new merchandise for the same price or sometimes even less. Part of the fun of thrift shopping is finding a bargain. That feeling has largely disappeared at Savers. More and more often, shoppers are looking at price tags and wondering who approved them. Used merchandise should be priced like used merchandise, not like premium retail inventory. I understand that Savers promotes its community partnerships and charitable efforts, and I appreciate businesses that give back. However, it does make me wonder how much of these high prices actually support those causes versus how much simply contributes to revenue and executive compensation. From what I understand, the amount going back to those services is far less than many customers assume. The reality is that I hear people complaining about Savers' prices almost every time I shop there. Customers constantly talk about how expensive it has become. These are donated items, yet prices continue to climb. At some point, it starts to feel less like serving the community and more like maximizing profit. What is most disappointing is that it feels like Savers has forgotten why many people shop there in the first place. Customers come looking for affordability, value, and an opportunity to stretch their budgets. Instead, many are met with price tags that make them question why they are shopping at a thrift store at all. I still enjoy thrifting, but these days I find myself shopping at other thrift stores far more often because the value is simply better elsewhere. Savers may still have a large selection, but selection alone isn't enough when the prices no longer make sense. Until pricing becomes more realistic and customer-focused, I'll continue taking my business elsewhere. A thrift store should be about helping people find affordable items, not charging near-retail prices for goods that were donated for free.

    I've been to the San Jose Flea Market a few times with my family on Sundays. This place is huge,…read morewith plenty of parking, although parking fees have gone up $10 on Saturdays and $20 on Sundays. From what I understand, they're open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are lots of food trucks and plenty of seating throughout the market. It can get pretty crowded at times, especially on Sundays, but overall it's manageable. The restrooms have always been clean whenever we've visited, and there are ATMs available on site. You can find almost anything here clothes, household items, snacks, and more making it a fun place to spend a few hours with family. There's also a large produce section with a bakery right in the center, which gets very busy but is worth checking out. Overall, it's a lively spot with plenty to see and do, making it a great place to spend time with family if you don't mind the crowds. The value is decent if you plan to spend a few hours browsing, grabbing a bite, or making some purchases, though the high weekend parking fees do bring it down. One thing to note: we've occasionally encountered teens and sometimes older men approaching people asking for money, claiming they need it for food. Later, we've seen them gathered in small groups. Just something to be aware of stay alert and mindful of your surroundings.

When we asked workers can they direct us to like 2nd hand items, rummage or garage sale stuff, they couldn't direct us to resaleable items either. It makes you wonder how much are they charging their vendors. We are looking for second hand items, antiques and vintage clothing at low bargain prices. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY!!! It's not a place were merchants can sell second hand items. Go to Capital Flea Market Saturday and Sunday instead, parking is free, and $2.50 a person.
