Savers

This use to be my go to thrift store, two years ago. I’m not sure if maybe they have since undergone new management but wow have they changed (for the worse). Their prices have become completely ridiculous. $ 20 for used infant shoes that had stains?! I for sure thought it was a typo — but the employee was like «we just got those in that’s why». Uh, sorry last time I checked I wasn’t in the actual Nike store and these aren’t just released special edition — this is a thrift store and these are used. Pretty sure I saw them being sold at the rack brand new a few years ago for less than that. Plain toddler t-​shirts with stains sold for $ 4 when you bought them brand new at target on the clearance rack for $ 2.49. I don’t know who is making these prices but they are laughable. The staff has become unpleasant, seeming irritable and burdened by the slightest question or even ringing you up. It’s a sad day when you realize your favorite thrift store has become an overpriced resale store in the middle of LA.
Oh, also let me add. I know make the drive to the Anaheim savers because the prices are so much better and the selection is bigger/​better. I also think it is much cleaner and organized. Hopefully they don’t go in the same direction as the Riverside location!

Probably one of the best second hand stores I’ve been too! It’s very organized and has a huge variety of kids/​baby clothing in decent condition left the store spending $ 35 dollars and I got 3 pairs of children’s shorts (all known name brands) a romper a bathing suit a Disney pajama 6 plates 4 cups 3 bowls 2 coffee mugs and a small baggy of plastic cars about 5. I think the most I paid for one item was 4.99.

Saver! Exactly what happened to me today when I went in there and what a pleasant friendly feeling I had here. I was greeted and told the colored sale tag of the day and was explained the 50% I could save on all winter items by using my «Savers» card and was explained how easy it was for me to get a savers card by going to the cashier and giving her my email address so she could give me my little red card I can put in my purse and use next time and they will send me emails with coupons or event sales! I already like this place let me tell you the prices were great! Toys that another store I frequent were sold at 5 X that price. The clothes omg! What a deal! Everything is pretty organized lots of pants tops. Not to much little girl dresses but a selection. Their selection of bag toys were also color coded and come up for %50 off on there color sale day! I loved that!
All and all I want say is «Thank you» to the thrift store that Threw me out of their store because of a Unilocal review, yes my fellow Unilocalers «I was thrown out for leaving a honest review» & I was singled out, and sought out, approached while shopping and told to leave the store, I was not the first to leave a review like it I did, if you look at other reviews before mine I was not the first to mention their «over pricing» not to mention the way customer are treated by Security omg! Scary! Please read my other reviews to see which thrift store threw me out For saying they are overpriced. And let all other reviews tell you were you might want to shop at or stay away from…
like I said in my review previously «I’d rather travel 30 miles then pay the prices I have» at that other store And I donated to that store many times
Savers My new «Go To Thrift store!» I will be donating all my items here from now on!

This location is not organized and messy. Sizes are in the wrong sections. And you really have to dig to find one or two quality pieces of clothing. I recommend another location if you don’t mind the drive.

I found a place in Riverside called Savers (Hope Services (, polite young, man well dressed, met the car, answered questions, helped off-​load the car, without asking gave us coupons and donation receipt …
I will never again give to Salvation Army or Goodwill, both being polar opposites of of Savers (Hope Services)…
Cheers

Well, thankfully some stores still organize by size. I’ve found several nice things here. It’s worth a look. They also have a huge book section. Some things are overpriced for used, but some things are priced nicely too. They also have nice mark downs. Found a decent leather purse here. I think this place might be connected to Value Village. We had V.V. in WA, and this is comparable. Check it out!

Great selection. Men:‘s section includes xxx as well as xxxx sizes. These are hard to find in most thrift stores. Prices are very low and quality high. Great community resource.

Love coming here to donate but also to shop for books. I clean out our closets and toy bins often and like donating to organizations like Savers which give back to local charities. And donate 6 full bags worth of clothes or goods and you get a coupon worth 30% off a future purchase. Every now and then they have 50% off sales, often on major holidays. My guilty pleasure are books and there is a great selection, well organized by genre and in like-​new or new condition. Always buy 4, get 1 free. Keep an eye out for 50% off books days too, those are like Christmas! (For this nerd anyway.)
My only complaint is I went in the bathroom recently and it was really unkempt: floor was in desperate need of mopping, dirty toilet seat, seat covers and TP trash on the floor, including a dirty diaper. just gross. I nearly ran out screaming (Ok, I’m also a germaphobe). Doesn’t match the rest of the store though — seems like a very neat and organized place otherwise.

I came here for the first time today and I was so surprised at the size of this store! This store is HUUUGE! Even though it’s a Saturday, it wasn’t that crowded so my trip was overall pleasant. I like the fact that the store is organized and doesn’t have that strong funky thrift store smell. Lol. Some of the items there were a bit too pricey, though. There is one item I saw that had an original price tag of $ 1.99 and Savers was selling for $ 2.99 I left with only 2 items for my 2 y/​o… and that was it.

This was my first trip here today. While looking at the jeans I found a ROACH on one of the pant legs. I handed the jeans to the lady and she freaked out, «EW THATS DISGUSTING, IM NOT TOUCHING THAT» and I told her, «well I don’t want to put them back with the other clothes» she ended up taking them to the back.
It really disgusted me as I visit many thrift stores on a regular basis. Only reason it got two stars is cause I found some decent work clothes pretty cheap.

They filter through the items before they get onto the floor, generally higher quality than what you’d find at a Goodwill. Join the membership program, steep discounts make it worth it. I love Savers!!!

I love going to this store. I always find a good deal and love how organized it is. Its very clean and you don’t feel like you’re looking through used items like you do at a good will. Have to do a lot of digging to find the gems there but its worth the hunt.

Hands down, best frickin’ thrift store in Riverside…
The only place I know where I can find some $ 6.99 (mint condition!) Franco Sarto pumps, H&M dress new w/​tags still on, .25 cent children’s books for my daughter, & a retro 70’s fridge lamp for the house. He he.
No boutique-​y prices, just radical pieces (both clothing, shoes, & accessories galore)
& an amazing housewares and furniture section. This store is CLEAN, ORGANIZED, & BRIMMING with gems at unbeatable prices. **They even have a «Designer Section» up front where they carry high end brands & designers. That’s where you can find a vintage Channel bag, Ray Ban sunglasses, or donated wedding dresses, etc. Very cool.
They have ½ off entire store sales on Mondays I believe. That can be a good time to go because Sat & Sun are normally a little crazy. But the store is HUGE. If you like to browse, set aside a good hour and a ½ or so.
Completely cost effective and über fun. Staff is always very nice and check out lines aren’t long. Plenty of rooms to try on clothes, and they even do returns.
I love you Savers. Don’t ever change.

Prices ok a bit on the higher side but clean organized and friendly staff. Had allot of Halloween stuff but the same prices that they have them in the store overall I like the store.

This place used to sell tees at 1.99 and within the past couple months they started jacking up the prices up to $ 10 for a tee. Might have to stop coming here and go back to Goodwill.

My mom and I like how well organized the store is. I feel on some items they could exaggerate on the prices. Lucky jeans were $ 59.99. C’mon now…
But got my niece some Disney books for 50 cents, so that was nice.

This is my new favorite thrift store! To start, it’s huge! It’s pretty well organized too! I shop and donate here! If you donate you get a 20% off coupon!
I love buying children’s books here, you can’t beat $ 0.69 per book!!! Plus if you buy 4 you get the 5^th free! And there are tons of books in practically brand new condition! Some reviews advised the children’s clothing was well priced, but the Goodwill store is at least $ 1 cheaper. But there is a huge variety! And in mostly great condition.
I don’t normally buy used toys, but I actually found some lightly used ones here and for a great price!!!
The other day I spent just under $ 20 and buy 25 books and a toy for my daughter! You can’t beat that!!!

I LOVE Savers! I can’t believe I just discovered thrifting just about a year or so ago. The awesome part about this thrift store is that they not only categorize in apparel but in the size of the apparel. It makes thrifting a lot easier and there’s always something I walk out with because there’s so much displayed out for you. Definitely recommend to go here if you haven’t!

Compared to the Salvation Army on Magnolia? This place is the Ritz. This Savers store blows away the La Mirada and Anaheim Savers stores as far as size. I was shocked at how big it is. The housewares section is nice and has much less useless junk in it than your average Salvation Army or Goodwill. Cute vintage stuff like dishes, vases, tins, or candleholders abound. I noticed quite a few 80’s country goose décor and kitchen items. When the hipsters decide geese are «in» instead of owls, this is the place where they should come.
My major beef with this store: the children’s clothing area is really in trouble. It is only organized by «boy» and «girl» and the pants on the bottom. There is no rhyme or reason to the organization of the clothes, and that’s a huge problem because the sheer amount of clothing is insane and you feel like you will never find what you need. The store really needs to divide the clothing by size, because it makes no sense to try and find the size you need in this mess. The clothes are well-​organized for adults, but searching for a size 9 months in racks that have everything from newborn to size 5 years, it’s like a tiny needle in a freaking haystack. That said, you can sometimes find very nice Old Navy, Gymboree, Baby Gap, and Children’s Place clothes here. It is clean and not very rowdy or crowded compared to other area thrift stores.
Savers employees are friendly and helpful and generally available to help you in my experience. They have never done me wrong. On some holidays, like Memorial Day, Martin Luther King Jr, Labor Day, all clothes are 50% off. Check their website. The Anaheim Savers is popular because of their Unilocal Check-​in that allows you 20% off your purchase, this store needs to implement that! It will help people who search for deals nearby find the store.
The only reason more ppeople are not here is, no one knows about the store or what it is yet. Organize kids’ clothes by size and 20% off check in deal, and I would give 5 stars!

The wife and I enjoy going to thrift stores from time to time for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the wife’s a plus-​sized gal and finding clothes that fit large and lovely ladies can be VERY expensive. Just go to Lane Bryant or Torrid and you’ll see what I mean. Secondly — we like to find fun clothing for my teenaged niece. She’s pretty easy to shop for abd we;ve found some really great finds for her at some of the local thrift stores. The age of the clothes doesn’t really matter as long as they are well-​maintained; because as we all know. vintage stuff always comes back in style.
Another reason is that over the past two years the wifey has lost a good 60lbs or so, and has decided to try her hand at selling her larger clothes on E-​Bay. Having a good deal of success, we decided troll around thrift stores in the area to see what we could find that was saleable. This past Saturday we decided to drive around Riverside and see what we could find.
Saver’s was the first store we visited… and it was quite an interesting and pleasant experience. The store is located next to a Best Buy, and driving up to the parking lot we were both impressed with how big the place seemed from the outside… as big as any department store!
When we went inside, we were equally impressed. The place is hue! Rows ad rows of merchandise’ mostly clothes and books but also housewares, furniture and electronics. More importantly — everything is sorted and labeled incredibly well! The clothes are all organized by type and size. It was soooo easy for my wife to find what she was looking for and browse. The books are similarly well-​organized.
The prices were quite reasonable. The wife found a few choice items both for herself and to possibly sell online.
The employees were all very friendly and helpful and helped explain how each store helps a particular charity or group of charities in the local area.
They even offer a discount loyalty card program… as well as a card they stamp. so when you get to a certain number of stamps on it you get a 30% discount! And if you donate items to the store — you get a 20% discount on a shopping day!
I wish they had one of thse stores closer to us… it’s on the far end of Riverside, near the Tyler Galleria — but we certainly intend to come back from time to time and explore their offerings.
A solid 4 stars for anyone wanting to find good-​quality second hand items at good prices!
