Savers

Really dirty merchandise. The store itself is clean. A lot of people recommend this place for kid and baby clothing and shoes but I would never buy something there for my kids. I found a pair of rain boots for $ 9.99 and turned them over and there was all kinds of mud (hopefully it was mud) caked on the bottom of the boots. So gross, a lot of the shoes were like that. I also think this place is overpriced. A lot of the cotton clothing was super used and had that frayed look, pilled and frayed. I checked this store out a few different times, the only time worth going might be during Halloween, because they do an amazing job with all of the costumes (although their prices are still a bit high) even so, the store is a fun place to visit on Halloween and that is very well done. The rest of the year, I will pass.

By far, one of my favorite thrift stores. I LOVE how organized everything is! I love that I can go directly to my size and browse. Huge selection! And the discount days are awesome!

Most organized Jean section I’ve ever seen in a thrift store. Cheaper than goodwill, MUCH higher quality.
Baby clothes are not a good deal here, but everything else is

Found the prices a bit high for a thrift store. It is organized pretty well but just not what I’d expect a thrift store to charge for things. Finding out this is a for profit establishment explains a lot. Two stars for organization but would not go again.

We just love this place. Where else can you go and get very lightly used clothing for pennies on the dollar talk about dressing like a million dollars even though I only spent a few bucks.

Found this gem in Vacaville from a co-​worker referral. Whaat. found a gold mine!
Location:
Easy to get to, across from Starz Bowling Center, next to the Nugget Marketplace
Private lot for parking, donation center what front and center, but not blocking the entrance.
Freeway to hop on 80 west was right at the intersection. Easy on and easy off.
Store:
It’s hella big, pretty organize and surprisingly clean. Rows and rows of clothes, knick nacks, larger items towards the back corner. They even had pillow covers. I went after Halloween 2015 and they had all the costume and accessories 50% off. most had tags on them and didn’t look like they were 5 seasons old #score
I will definitely go back and possibly even donate some items. This place rocks.

It’s really neat and organized except towards the back. It’s a mess! When you walk all the way back near the restroom. Things are thrown everywhere. They need to keep that section a little more neat. All the electronics and things toward the back. If you walk back there? You know what I mean.

I really wish that Savers was a national chain so I could visit the store more often. Tucked away in the East Bay off the I-​80 freeway, Savers is probably the most clean, organized and abundantly-​stocked thrift store to ever exist. Their operations and logistics really give the Goodwill and the Salvation Army a run for their money.
My mom turned me on to Savers. She is a foster mom and frequently donates clothing and household goods. She also buys new and gently used clothing for my three foster siblings who are constantly GROWING out of their clothing. I believe they pay a flat rate of $ 5 per bag (double check this) of donated items, so if you bring five bags, you’ll have a $ 25 credit to spend with the store. They also have a loyalty program/​rewards system in place to encourage their regulars to keep shopping and donating.
The best part of the store is what seemed like an endless selection of denim! Unlike other thrift stores, Savers takes the time to organize their denim according to size, and they hang the jeans by the leg so you can quickly see the name brand and size. Both my mom and I are shorties, so we are always searching for jeans that fit perfectly. They had plenty of Levi’s, Express, NY & Co., Gap, Armani, Lucky Brand, True Religion, etc. Basically, no matter your preference, they most likely had it. Prices ranged from $ 5 to $ 13. And a lot of their stuff still had the original tags on it. I ended up buying five pairs of jeans, some Aviator sunglasses (aka stunna shades) and a Hoover vacuum for my mom (she’s funny) and spending about $ 60. Hashtag WINNING!
If you’re in the area of Vacaville, stop by. It’s worth a look.

I’m not a thrift store shopper because I don’t have the patience to go through piles of things to find that one perfect item at a huge discount, but it doesn’t mean I don’t give it a good try.
I went here when they first opened and have been back a few times to donate items and walk around. There was one dress I wanted to purchase and it was 13.99, seriously? 13.99? I could go to Forever 21, or most stores, and find that same dress brand new for the same price or lower! Yeah, pass
Benefits are: it’s a huge store, they do carry new items (i.e. halloween make up and holiday things during Christmas), a lot cleaner than most thrift stores
Negatives: for profit, high prices, broken art work

Large and clean, but overall I wasn’t that impressed by Savers.
I didn’t come here looking for anything in particular, but I did notice that everything is organized really well. My favorite section was the book section. They had it organized by genre which was really helpful. Their selection of clothes is pretty much on par with Goodwill. Old grandma clothes galore! If you’re looking for more modern apparel, try places like Plato’s Closet and Buffalo Exchange.
Unlike Goodwill, Thrift Center, and Mission Solano thrift store, I don’t feel like they jacked up their prices. Everything is reasonably priced. Even the more expensive brands were very cheap. I saw a pair of Gap shorts for $ 4! They also have a rack of designer purses like Juicy Couture.
Savers gets three stars for their good organization, cleanliness, and a decent book selection.

Love this place. Found a lot of high price stuff with tags :)

I was very impressed on how organized this place was. There are some very good brand name pants to choose from. The ones I tried on were in very good condition. I wanted jeans and Savers had a good variety of jeans for the most I saw was $ 7.99. Some of the jeans still had the original tags on them. Great place to shop.

Huge. Clean. Organized.
Store Front —
Savers — Taking the thrift store concept to the next new level… ‘This is not your dirty, grime covered, junk heaps piled to the ceiling, local thrift store. You know the kind I’m talking about… The 3^rd world, looking shop that feels like a leftover yard sale that was relocated from the lawn to inside & you you need a full body dip in a vat of antibacterial goop. (i.e. — Opportunity House)
Bright lights, «decent» bargains, and did I mention clean?

It’s one of the few thrift stores that I’ve walked in where my sense of smell was assaulted by what I can only describe as pickled eggs.
«Hmph, what do you know… My stomach is turning either.» (That was a very promising sign.)
I recently helped out @ local non-​profit thrift store, Opportunity House Thrift Store (O House), off of Peabody Rd in Vacaville.
One word: «Nasty.» Yes, it’s all for a very good cause BUT not worth the risk of me catching Hep B or Black Lung… «NEXT!»
Opportunity House (Full review — 2 Stars) —
I figured that I would drop by Savers and take a look after hearing about it from the *TSGs during my short visit to O House.
*TSG — Thrift Store Groupies (Shoppers who are there daily, no joke. (Translation: Hoarder) TSGs generally fall under one of the following:
1. Retired
2. Reseller
3. Retarded (I’m joking… I believe the proper term is disabled. Yeh, that’s soooo much better.)
My first impression upon walking in — «THIS is a thrift store… Savers has risen the bar.» I was taken back by the large open spaces, bright lights and cleanliness… No sour smell of gym socks or funky Cheetos. It’s a thrift store with a retail vibe and I was digging it.

People have complained about Savers’ pricing, which I have to admit, is a bit pricier than most thrift stores BUT consider the following in comparison:
— All items are cleaned & washed. (Okay, most.)
— Public restrooms (Very clean)
— Overhead cost (i.e. — lighting, cleaning, maintenance)
— Electronics are tested (At least, that’s what I was told.) However, as the buyer, that responsibility rests with you. After all this is a thrift store.
— Shelves are kept well organized & orderly; merchandise is not merely piled on top of each other
— Paid staff (i.e. — Team members that care about what they are doing; if not «care,» held accountable for their actions @ work)
As in most thrift stores, the men’s selection is dwarfed by the women’s which is evident in the clothing and of course, shoes.
«Shoe fly, don’t bother me!» —
I’ve been back to Savers a few times since starting this review and the customer service has been friendly & professional every time.
**Be consumer savvy: A number of people have written about problems in regard to purchasing electronics, which is a pretty bold move to be buying used tech to begin with. Before committing to any relatively large purchase, be sure that you understand the store’s return policy… ‘And if you have any doubts, ask to see it in writing OR simply, don’t buy it.
As mentioned before, the pricing here is slightly higher than other thrift stores that I’ve visited but in all fairness it’s like comparing McDonald’s to In & Out, Kmart to Kirkland, or a $ 5 hooker to a Las Vegas Showgirl… ‘Without the rash afterward.
When I left Savers, I didn’t feel the need to take a long bath in a 55 gallon drum of antibacterial soap… ‘Again, w/​o a rash.
I’m presently helping out @ time @ the Yolo County SPCA Thrift Store in Davis, atypical thrift store, GREAT prices but nowhere near the size, layout, selection or cleanliness of Savers… «The bar has been raised.» (However, along with that comes a rise in pricing as well.)
Admittedly, some of the merchandise that I looked at was a bit on the pricey side… However, if I was going to purchase a bread maker, crock pot or DVD player, I’d do my homework prior to actually picking anything up. Again, the responsibility is on you.
Most neighborhood thrift stores DO NOT offer:
— Washed/​cleaned merchandise
— Public restrooms
— Returns/​credit (i.e. — All sales are final)
— This wide array of merchandise; organized & neat
— No guarantee you won’t catch an STD from browsing
— Big Aloha!

Nice large selection and a very clean setting.
As with a lot of thrift stores the women’s section eclipses the men’s but there’s a good selection. The jean section is massive with a lot of nice brands! Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren aplenty. The jerseys were well picked through but that could have been my timing, ok t shirt selection and tons of button ups. I even found a Givenchy tie, it was heavily stained but still lol.
It’s about an hour drive from my house but I’ll be back!

When they first opened, their prices were almost better than any other thrift store around. These days, their prices are getting insane. Be prepared to pay $ 30 for a good brand of jeans or if something has a tag on it, you are guaranteed to pay retail, if not more. Do they not know that more of their inventory would move if they keep their prices decent ??
Pretty sure I can go to the sale racks at major stores and get the same items for less.
So my overall rating for this place. Nice and clean but WAAAAYYYYYY over priced!!!

Went to Savers on the evening of 1-​17-​2015. There was an African American young woman that was my cashier with Operator ID 7333. Didn’t catch her name. She was the rudest person I’ve ever met. When asked if she could give a discount on a ripped shirt, she rudely stated no and that shirt shouldn’t have been out on the floor to sell. We could pay full price or the store would have to donate it. She treated us HORRIBLY! Then had a pair of roller skates with a price tag ripped half off. So I asked how much they were. She then lectured me that those can not be sold without a tag. She acted like it was my fault for it not having a price tag! She was extremely demeaning and has no business working customer service. The manager that night wasn’t much better! Will NEVER shop there again!

I bought a electronic Roomba Vacuum from this location. I asked the cashier what their return policy is and he said «two days». The vacuum doesn’t work so I took a look at my receipt and it says I may only exchange for a same day store credit. I called the store for clarification and the customer service rep confirmed that they will only exchange the item for a credit. If they would have told me that they only exchange items when I asked what the RETURN policy is than I never would have purchased it. I will never shop here again. I would give them 0 stars if I could.

Clean, organized, helpful & a good cause.
Every donation goes to help the Epilepsy Foundation.
The way the clothes are organized reminds me of a Ross or Marshall’s. They’re separated by size and sex. They have men’s, women’s, children’s and infant’s clothing. There’s housewares, books, brick-​a-​brack, electronics, shoes, jewelry and misc. items. You never know what you’ll find.
The jeans are hung so that it’s easy to read the sizes and see the prices. There are rows and rows of clothes. Can feel a bit overwhelming, but they really do a good job of keeping it organized.
They have fitting rooms to try on the clothes & I’m told they wash all the items prior to putting them out for sale. The store looks and smells clean.
Donations are tax deductible. Pull right up to the front and the staff is always helpful to unload your items. They also give you a punch card for additional percentage off.
It’s good to know that my donations go toward a good cause. Add the fact that it’s tax deductible-​everyone wins!

The store is clean. That’s about all that thrills me about this Savers. It’s WAY over priced, even for California. I would skip this place and hit up Goodwill.

I love thrift shopping and am willing to get down and dirty to get those deals. But Savers is so very CLEAN. My aunt told me they wash everything before they put it out, YES. When I walked in it looked like a regular department store, no allergies from the dust! I would say that they are a bit more pricey than other thrift stores but as a customer, the experience is easier. Everything is organized, again clean and spaced out. I would gladly spend a few more dollars (but only a few because I love my deals!) for this better experience.
If you donate you also get 20% off your purchase, yessssss!
Clean thrift store, great deals and rewards donations with more deals! Check them out!
