All thrift stores are getting out of control, but savers is the worst of them. It's so close to me that I still go from time to time just to see if I can find something good, but I definitely won't be going back. Over and over I find things from the dollar tree that they're selling for 3.29 or even close to $4. If the item has new tags, they jack up the price for more than what it's worth.
I hope they know how much money they're losing for refusing to price their items fairly.
There's so many things that I would've bought and I didn't because they were overpriced. Don't donate to this location. They are a for profit corporation that spends no money on inventory and sells it for more than it's worth brand new. At this point, I won't go back there to shop, but I will go back to take pictures and let everyone know to not waste their money at this store.
Ps. With the outrageous prices the thrift stores charged nowadays, you're better off going to an antique store. They have more curated pieces, vintage and durable stuff and most of it is in working condition or undamaged.
I find myself going to antique stores more and more. Comparing to the prices that thrifts used to charge back in the day, I would say antique stores are slightly more expensive. But, the way the pricing is now, you would probably find much better pieces than the trash savers sells for equal pricing. read more
