Savers

Went to Savers and could not find any bargains. They have their clothing at near retail. No Savers here.

It’s been very few times in my like that I would talk bad about a charity thrift store. This is one of those times. Don’t go to Savers. They must have their heads in the cloud when it comes to the value of used goods. $ 130 for a ripped, dirty and stained wedding dress? My dress was $ 100 beand new from the store. If I wanted to spend $ 20-​$ 30 for a pair of jeans, I’d buy them new. The store is always filthy and the staff haven’t got the brains that God gave a goose. Not recommended at all.

I like Savers… they have good quality used clothing. They have special deals like members get 50% off days and other fun stuff. If you donate you get a coupon for a percentage off. I am a yo-​yo dieter so when I need big clothes savers it is!

It’s a Savers. I don’t see the good deals really except a few CDs and VHS. The books are so expensive but you normally can finds some good housewares.

Literally the most expensive thrift store I have ever entered in every state I have lived in, I would love to meet whoever prices and laugh at them — this should be called a antique store since that’s what you price it as just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s worth anything — prices like this– might as well go to a real store and not buy hand me downs — savers = lamest ever

Savers has been a staple thrift store for every state I have lived in and I was happy to find them in Boise as well. Like most other Savers, this one is huge with a large selection and that unique «Savers Smell».
We went here looking for some ugly Christmas sweaters and found quite a lot. There are old lady clothes a plenty and some for the kids as well. They were a bit more pricey than other thrift stores in the area… but they also had a larger selection.
The one thing that I did like (and was pleasantly surprised about) was that the staff was overwhelmingly helpful. I was shocked that it was easy to find assistance and *gasp* they were pleasant! Perhaps I am a bit used to the Savers in larger cities where they sort of ignore you and do your thing… but when I stated what we were looking for the girl behind the front register was happy to help.
All in all, it was a good experience. Be prepared to spend a bit more… but also know you’ll more than likely find that you are there for… and then some!

Great store, really good treasures, people are always very nice. All around a great store.

This place always reeks of mothballs and grandma’s place.
I’m always happy when I walk in and walk out, even if I don’t purchase anything I’m bound to have a blast trying on things and reminiscing about the past.

I am an avid thrifter and after reading the other reviews I had to try Savers.
The pros:
Huge Selection
EXTREMELY well organized
Items are in good condition
Get 20% coupon when you make a bag/​box donation
The Cons:
Most items were more pricey than I am accustomed to seeing
If I am in the area again I would probably stop by, but as I had to make a special trip out there I found myself kind of wanting, especially in the price department –hence my 3 star rating.
***Important to note, they seem to have special price days when certain departments have a percentage off. They were advertising a Labor Day sale for 50% almost everything in the store. A sale like this would definitely make it more affordable.

Yes, to Savers. Where else can you get a new DVD, a mini muffin pan, three books, and two pair of women’s jeans for $ 22? I double dare you to find a place, unless it is the Salvation Army! I was so excited to find a Savers when I visited Boise. It made shopping for clothes for my BD great fun.

This place smells like 1,000 grandmas, but it’s a real monolith of a thrift store. You’ll find everything from crappy romance books, to dated green glassware, to blazers and sports coats that your great grand pappy used to wear… and all at extremely affordable prices.
If you live in a hip place like San Francisco, New York, LA, etc…, you can tell the difference between folks who live in small towns like Boise. These people shop at thrift stores like this because they have to — not because they’re trying to make a statement. With that being said, there’s tons of amazing finds just ripe for the picking, and you don’t have to worry about trust fund kids beating you to the ironic NKOTB shirt that you’ve been eying on the racks of Savers. Easily one of the best thrift stores I’ve ever been to in my life. If the businessmen and women running vintage shops around the country are smart, they’ll invade small towns like Boise, rape and pillage the threads that cost about $ 3.99, then take ‘em to some hipster reclaimed clothing joint in one of the big three, and sell them for $ 20 a pop. Wait, maybe I’m onto something?
Go Boise!

Ah the hunt… in terms of second-​hand stores, this one is my favorite. DI, Goodwill, St Vincent, IYR: selection not as good. Ha, selection. It’s a second-​hand store! It’s all about, what do you need? If it’s there, CAN YOU FIND IT? It’s easier to find at Saver’s. No dedicated «new» section like at Goodwill, but often new items are around. A favorite source for long-​sleeved tee shirts for work, which, as I often say, are not an item I’m going to pay $ 20 apiece for, as I may well want to throw them away randomly if/​when they get poop on them. I’m a nurse, poop is something I deal with more often than most people. On the side of nice clothes I’d wear outside of work, I can find those too! And it’s more fun to find them at Saver’s. At Macy’s, it’s a case of, oh this is too small, I’ll get the next size up. At Saver’s, it’s a case of, oh, yay! It’s my size!!! I WIN!
