Savers

Today there was an older man working (wearing a lavender polo shirt) stocking the kitchen supplies area. He came across an item someone had broke and just left on the ground. He then proceeded to YELL at all the customers around him «YEAH THAT’S GREAT PEOPLE, JUST BREAK SOMETHING AND LEAVE IT ON THE GROUND, REAL POLITE PEOPLE, JUST BREAK IT AND WALK AWAY FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT, REAL NICE! RUDE RUDE RUDE!!!» He seriously would NOT shut up. Had he shut up, I would have turned around to tell him the man who knocked over that item did inform a staff member and they were on the way with a broom… How an employee would think it is acceptable to yell at all the customers is beyond me and was very uncomfortable, I thought he was a customer at first until I saw him going in and out of the back room to stock items… He didn’t have a name tag on, like MANY of the other workers… And yes I agree that would be annoying to stumble upon, but someone else was already taking care of it. Many employees here are constantly buzzing in and out of the storage room with carts full of things to be stocked and they are seriously rude about it. Treating customers like an inconvenience… HELLO, who do you guys think is going to buy all this stuff you guys keep bringing out? Don’t treat your customers like they’re in the way!

Can get some good deals here if you get in at the right time. Though some of their items are a bit more than you might get at garage sales, it is nice that they sort it all out so you can go to the particular sections that you are interested in.

Savers is hit and miss.
I always check outerwear, jackets, tank tops, athletic shirts, sometimes long sleeves and I glance at the exercise pants.
They have lots of items from lots of reputable brands. The clothes are usually in good condition.
They also have lots of jewelry, bags, and shoes. I’ve even seen guitars here.
What I don’t like is that they keep an eye out for brand names and jack up the price, so it’s usually not a great deal.

Donated some old clothes and they gave me 15% coupon. I went in and browsed around found a lot of nice gently used items. Before going make sure you have the extra time to shop because there’s a lot to go through. Each day they also have 50% off select colored tags.

Be warned-​they don’t thoroughly inspect their items and their items are infested with bed bugs

Heard about Savers through a coworker so I thought I’d check this place out. Very clean and we’ll organizations staff is friendly at the check out. This place makes you feel as if you not in a second hand store. It’s such a great treasure hunt you can find so many great things. They also have a donations area right in front and the guys are really helpful. They give you a coupon with your donation to use in the store. Prices are very fair. Really worth checking out.

I did some cleaning last week and the result was about six trash bags FULL of clothing, DVD’s, movies, college books, shoes, blankets, purses, ties, and tons of random things in our home that we just hadn’t gotten around to using.
I had previously dropped things off for donation at Goodwill, but wanted to try something new. I looked up thrift stores that accepted donations on site and came across Savers.
They had a very helpful website that talked about things they needed for donations. Luckily, everything on their site was everything I had stuffed into those bags, so we were good to go for our donation process. We drove over and were able to find the donation center with ease. The gentleman working happily approached our truck and helped us unload everything. We got a nice coupon to the store in appreciation for our donations.

This is probably the best thrift store I’ve ever been to. I don’t live in the Bay Area and don’t have a Savers near me. I was so happy to see how clean and big the whole place is. I’ve never been in a thrift store that wasn’t overcrowded and dirty. The prices on a few items I saw were a little higher than I would want to pay, but only because the price for the items new would have been very expensive originally. I think it’s fair to charge more for a more expensive brand. The prices for the quality of the items isn’t any different from what I’ve seen at thrift stores at home. I’m definitely coming here again when I’m in town.

As a person who loves shopping at thrift stores, I’ve come to love Savers. Got some nice shirts, jewelry, and loving them. Went on the 50% off day, and had to wait nearly a half an hour for the dressing room, but the employees are very friendly and helpful. Every Savers I went to (Redwood City and Berkeley) the staff were kind, but they were even more so in Dublin, going out of their way to assist my sister, who’s temporarily disabled due to accidents.
The jewelry, I think, might be a bit too costly, but I often find items I fall in love with.

The prices are expensive but I got a North Face jacket ½ price for only $ 10 and got a thick San Leandro High School jacket for $ 15. That was quite pricey! I also purchased a portable IPod dock for $ 5.99.

Oh boy, oh boy.
Let me edit this post.
It’s Dec. 2015 and the prices of this store are still outrageous, at least for a thrift store.
Savers was one of my favorite thrift stores. It had decent prices, nice labels, and a huge selection of items. NOW, it’s severely overpriced, and by overpriced I mean $ 12 button down shirts, $ 59.99 jackets, and $ 29.99 pants. Regular tee shirts and tops range from $ 3.99-$ 20+. Yup, you read that right. Dresses basically start at $ 8.00.
Savers– you’re a THRIFT store… not Forever21… not Target… you’re a second hand store.
Don’t forget that.
As for the home and kitchen items, prices are «reasonable» but still are a little steep.
Dishes and cups start at $.099-​$ 2.99+ a dish.
Items with mystery stains, snags, and lint balls should NOT be $ 15. Get your act together, Savers!

One of more well organized and clean thrift shop locations I’ve been to (as long as you don’t go near the electronics area). Why buy new when there’s stuff with lots of life left in it and you’re keeping things from going into land fill.
They always seem to have a wide stock of stuff, when the family goes in we’ve had good luck finding things we want. They do a better job at keeping the clothing sizes sorted than some of the local name brand locations (I’m looking at you Sears and Target!). In general I’ve had good experiences with the staff as well. Must more helpful, and generally more friendly, than some of the other thrift stores around as well.
Tip: If you are going to visit take a bag of clothes or stuff to drop off. They will give you a discount on purchases made that same day if you come in with a good donation. Give some, get some.

5 stars for:
1) friendly staff
2) 20% off for Seniors on Tuesdays
3) 50% off different colored tags daily
4) volume of merchandise offered
5) the quality of the majority of the items being sold is fair — good.
6) it doesn’t have that «thrift store smell»
Negative 5 million stars for:
1) FAKE «Gucci» handbags being sold for $ 29.99. FAKE «Coach» wristlet for $ 20. I’m from SoCal, I’ve seen these plastic, vinyl things being sold at «the alley» downtown LA for $ 20
2) Brooks running shoes (cost of avg new pair $ 110) with the soles so worn down that you can see the midsole layer. The person who donated these should have just tossed them in the recycling bin. But the Savers employee who tagged these should have been like «ew, these are JUNK». But no, instead they were chillin on the shelf for $ 10!!! What the actual hell???
3) some of the items are raggely, not raggedy, RAGGELY, it’s the next stage after raggedy. Then Savers havs the nerve to overcharge said item (insert «wtf is this» face here)
I’d probably stop in again, but I would only consider buying whatever color tag was 50% off that day… Or I could wait until 2030 when I can come in on Senior citizen Tuesday for my 20% off…

This is a well organized thrift store chain that carries everything from knick knacks to clothing to books. I stopped in here with a friend and we were impressed with how much stuff they had here. Prices are somewhat reasonable so if you feel like hunting for a bargain you may just find it here.
My brother ended up buying a gently used walker for my mom for $ 5 and a cane as well.
Most of the things here are in decent condition so if you’re in the mood to hunt, this is your place.
They also take donations so clean out your house and bring all of your goodies here — electronics included.

Woosh!!! This is like the Bloomingdales of thrift shops. its huge! Scored myself a few nice action figures, a couple of them were animé. so clean and wide aisle. employees always paging customers when they roll out new items. tons of clothing, shoes, housewares, electronics and vintage items, baby stuff everything you need. I wish they have one in San Mateo or near my neighborhood. next time I’m in this area, I’ll stop by again.

Cleanest Savers/​thrift store I have ever been in!
Employees are nice here too!

This is the largest thrift store I have ever been in. It is huge and actually very well organized. The employees were all really nice and anytime they saw something out of place or even on the floor they stopped to fix it. You don’t even see this happen at a lot of department stores. Wish that they weren’t so pricey compared to other thrift stores though.

This is the mother land of a Thrifters Dream! I’m sure my Husband is happy that we don’t live close by. My Bestie and my Daughter and I came here for the day because my Bestie knew I would be in awe of this place. We spent at least 2 hours looking at every section. Searching for great deals and the blue tags since they were 50% that day.
I found some great clothes for my husband and my daughter. I also found some Finding Nemo sheet set, a Minnie mouse fitted sheet, a Piglet flat sheet, and I also found sheets I used to sleep on as a kid. It was a trip! I wish it was the set and I would of bought them.
Some of the prices were a little pricey but a lot of good deals were found.
I can’t wait to be back in the area and do some more treasure hunting.

This is like a super thrift store; I’m really impressed by the size of this place, because it’s seriously massive in comparison to other thrift stores I’ve been too. They have everything ranging from furniture to clothing to toys or even books and movies.
As for as consignment stores go, I always considered myself to be rather picky, but this place is great! You’ll find some quirky things here and there, too. One time I found the Andriod robot stuffed animal, which I was tempted to buy, but ultimately decided not too.
Staff is helpful, too! There aren’t many places that offer a wide variety as this store, so it’s kind of nice to have options in what you’re looking for! My friend got the cutest leather jacket here, so I’m hoping I’ll find some fashionable gems next time I meander by!

Savers is one of my places to shop. I (almost) never buy clothing used but consignment stores are great places to get jewelry with personality and out of print books. What you find really depends on your luck.
I was a little annoyed when I received a labor day sale notice from them. It said everything was half-​off in the store for the weekend. When we actually went, they were like, «No, today is the pre-​sale and only tagged items are discounted. And then tomorrow everything is half off EXCEPT books, and a few other things.» That seemed deceptive, since I’m pretty sure that was NOT in the email.
I’m not sure if this is something they do habitually, misleading customers with deceptive promises about how good a sale actually is, but that really put me off.
Prices here apart from that are pretty good. Better than Goodwill, I’d say, which is pretty infamous for ripping people off. Books are a little expensive, ranging from $ 1.99-$ 2.99 unless you want to get a bunch of terrible harlequin novels from the 1970s and 80s, which are about 75-​cents/​ea. The designer bags are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. I saw a Betsey Johnson bag there for about the price I’d bought it NEW from the Stoneridge mall when it was on clearance. I think if they see a designer label, they slab a ridiculous price on it because they know that people will be dumb enough to pay.
The jewelry is a good deal. They overprice the sterling silver stuff, but if you want cheap costume jewelry, there are a lot of really great gently used things. I recommend checking to make sure that all the pieces and jewels are in place before purchasing. I bought a pretty crystal necklace only to realize that there was a chip in it later. Oops. (Luckily it’s not super noticeable). Another time I found a bracelet I really liked that was chipped, and when I showed them the mark and said that it was a little too expensive for the damage, they gave me a discount.
Consignment stores are in it to make a profit like everyone else. If you are careful and shop wisely and don’t buy things for their labels, Savers is great. It’s the size of a Target or a Walmart but a hell of a lot cheaper, and part of their profits allegedly go to charity, so you’d be doing someone, somewhere, a good turn, too.
