American Way Sav-Mor Thrift Store

Great local thrift store. They also have a great furniture selection for new and used. Definitely going back next time I need new dressers. Got a great pair of heels named brand barely worn for $ 8. Great quality store.

Great thrift store, a plethora of items to discover. I always find stuff I want and there is also little house cleaning items up front you can find. Lots of furniture items too. I only dislike the cleanliness of the floors if I had to be picky.

I love thrift shopping! This store is pretty big, but not always filled with awesome bargains. One week it may be wall to wall packed, filled with donated merchandise, the following week it looks very bare. So in that regard, it’s hit or miss. Which means they had a dull donation week (s) In my opinion the furniture is way overpriced for what it is. They have both brand new and used furniture. The best selection and variety of product is definitely womens clothing, then kids, then men. Knick knack type stuff, dishes, household products are well priced & usually abundant. They have weekly color-​based discount sales, ie-​one week all yellow tag items are ½ off so that’s pretty cool. Overall it’s a pretty decent thrift store. Customer service is far from exceptional. Mediocre at best, but could definitely use a pep talk from me;)

Lots of room, often crowded. Their «specials» and prices change on Mondays (they color code and go half off like goodwill does). They often have great purses, decent furniture. LOTS of good quality name bran clothes. Generally clean and organized. No dressing room Some of the cashiers are not very polite.

This store sucks ass… they have signs that you can’t bring in your drinks but the owner brings her dog and allows other people to bring in there dogs. They are not special dogs for the blind, she’s just selective in who can come in with their dog. The ladies at the register are so rude; especially the heavy-​set one. Job requirement for this job entails of having no customer service. Will never shop here again. They have junk and junk prices.

still the best in prices and employees… I go all the time, never feel its a waste of time. Managers and store is clean and friendly too! Only wish they had a bathroom, many elder people shop there and leave because there isn’t one and doesn’t return. Im sure they lose biz because of that. I know I have had to leave many times because of that.

Used to really enjoy American Way, but this store has slipped like most others in the AV. A hit or miss place now but still worth an occasional look-​see. Harley the dog still mans the register every now and then. Good bargains available if you follow the tag colors and special days!

Rude cashiers and employees, never make you feel welcomed, act as if they’re doing you a favor. Place is kept up like a dump, never mop the floors, and what’s up with patrons not allowed to use the restroom, I hear people say they can spend hours there but are not allowed to use the restroom. Shopping elsewhere!

This is the best thrift store since the old AV thrift, which closed years and years ago. If you go on the right day and dont mind spending some time here, you can find some real treasures. Tuesday and thurday are 50% off all clothing before noon, but everyday they offer 50% off on select items. Dont EVER go on wednesdays unless you hate yourself and want to spend an hour stuck behind packs of slow moving, bitter old ladies before you inevitably drop whatever you planned on buying and walk out in frustration. Mondays and tuesdays are the best days to go. And earlier is always better.
I’ve seriously found some awesome shit here, such as: an almost brand new black peacoat ($ 10 on a half off day!), a pair of sperry topsider deck shoes, countless designer dress shirts (perry ellis, kenneth cole, ralph lauren), several pairs of wayfarer sunglasses (not ray ban but so what?) and a rockin’ poncho just for kicks.
It doesnt get 5 stars because its inconsistent and the loud white guy that loads/​unloads the furniture is probably the most obnoxious person I’ve ever seen.
I should mention that they take cards but the minimum purchase is $ 10 for debit and $ 20 for credit.

This place is a diamond in the rough. Yes it looks bad and the layout of the store makes you want to walk right out, but if you dig you can really find some great, great stuff. Its quickly becoming one of my favorite new places to shop

We were ultra excited to visit this thrift store after reading the previous review. Unfortunately we were not as lucky. Not sure if it had to do with our visit being around Halloween when most thrifts get thoroughly ransacked, but we found absolutely nothing but used up old stuff. No quality used modern things, no vintage, no cute bric-​a-​bracs, nothing. The shelves and racks were mostly empty, punctuated with random unappealing, mostly broken, things. They are very spaced out since the place is so huge. This makes for a lot of unnecessary walking for very little rewards.
No hatred for this place all in all, but we are not planning to visit again anytime soon.

This place has been my secret, apparently, until now…
I had hesitated to write a review for it for a long time, because I didn’t want more competition in my thrifting expeditions, but now I’m moving back to civilization (read: L. A) so I can let the cat out of the bag!!!
First of all, it’s way in the back of the parking lot, a big building that says THRIFT STORE.
(There is another (little, lame) thrift store in the front of the same lot. I think it’s called Twice is Nice, Twice is too many in my opinion for that place)
American Way is a big, dirty-​ish and occasionally smelly place… not for the faint of heart! But if you are a digger and are persistent in your pursuit of buried treasure you will find it here!
Over the last two years I have found:
~ An immaculately clean & gorgeous Hermes skirt from Paris.
~ Bakelite bangles
~ several adorable vintage 50’s & 60’s dresses
~ a sumptuous black cashmere coat from the 50’s
~ many nice items from designers such as Ralph Lauren, Coach, Versace,
Michael Kors, etc.
~ a pair of killer Versace shoes
~ an Anna Sui suit
~ and many other great items, both vintage and newer.
These treasures are hidden among miles and miles of total crap!
You really have to dig!
Also, some tips:
Tuesday and Thursday mornings are 50% off most items. They also put a lot of new stuff out on these days.
Wednesday is Senior Day… avoid like the plague unless you are, in fact, a senior… it gets crazy in there. Those senior ladies will stab a b*&%ch.
It gets hot as heck in there during the warmer months… go early!
Don’t park along the curbs in any unmarked spots or you’ll get a nice fat parking ticket.
