Savers

"Like so many other "thrift" stores (e.g., Goodwill), the prices at Savers approach or exceed full retail price on too many items. I have visited this store perhaps 10 times in the last two years. I made a purchase on only one visit. Will not return. Just not worth my time. Too expensive for a thrift store. They seem to have forgotten that all of their merchandise was received as a donation. Save your money and go to garage sales. And if you're hoping to find a deal on a "vintage" item, you are better off shopping at an antique store. Like so many others who try to sell vintage items, the prices at Savers appear to be based on the highest listed price for a particular item on Ebay, Etsy, or a similar site. Fortunately, many sellers at antique stores realize that online prices are the worst means by which to estimate what a used item might be worth. Bottom line.... Savers is not a thrifty place to shop."

"November 14th 2023 I went with a friend to savers. At the check out the employees monitor the area.To assist as needed I'm sure. But the manager interrupted me saying "ring up the bag miss" . I said the register will ask me to ring it up when I am ready to pay ma'am. She got super loud and demanded I leave HER STORE NOW! YELLING LOUDLY AT ME IN GRONT OF GOD AND EVERYBODY. I WAS MORTIFIED .. S"

"I used to go there more frequently before they remodeled when they had fitting rooms. I refuse to buy any pants/dresses/shirts when I can’t try them on. I also buy fewer shirts because not all brands/styles are easy to figure out if they will fit. I really could have used a shopping basket. I didn’t see any. I do like how nicely the household stuff is arranged. The self checkout was another matter. I had never used their self check out before and didn’t realize you have to pay for bags. My purchases didn’t scan right away and there were no associates in the area to ask. I could hear a few of them talking but couldn’t see where they were. I finally got all but 1 thing scanned and the last thing was a shelving issue with the scanning label on the second shelf. I had to peel the label off and cross my fingers it still scanned. I have donated here many times and it’s always been an easy process to drive around back."

"I donate trunkfuls of items to Savers. In fact the boys in the back know me when I drop things off. I recently purchased a picture just for the frame. When I got home an hour later, I realized my measurements were wrong. I called to see if I could return it and explained why. The clerk said under no circumstances do they return household items. If I wanted to donate it back, I could get a 20 percent discount coupon. I asked to speak to the manager who was very short with me and said they only return clothing and bedding and household , but not housewares, and that I should read the signs. Everything was self checkout so there were no clerks to inform you of any policies. I was really disappointed and the manager just said “that’s your prerogative “ and hung up. I won’t be donating anything to their store again."

"Savers in St. Cloud is one of my favorite thrift stores to shop at. Every time I come here, I like to bring in a bag full of donations to receive a 20% off discount. I like their selection of used items, and my Mom (RIP) loved shopping here too. It's always fun to see what you can find. As other reviewers have mentioned, the fitting rooms are no longer available, and this is an inconvenience for some who want to try on clothing. The self checkouts don't bother me, but no fitting rooms make them lose a star. Oh well, I still enjoy shopping at this location."
