Savers

Wow this place is really going down… management at this location is by far the worst it has been… items are over priced, they price their items based on ebay prices… they discriminate against the disabled, which is wrong since they «clearly» provide for them, look at posters all around the store. They probably pocket every cent and none for the disabled. I don’t know someone should look into this matter. They are firing all veteran workers and replacing them with young, high school kids so they don’t have to pay for benefits for the veteran employees. Someone should really look into this matter. Please anyone, help. These illegal practices need to stop! Corporate if you are reading this, you are wrong too. Change your ways savers.

Great thrift store I’ve been coming here for about 3 months now and I’ve found at least 1 – 3 items each time I come!
It’s a clean store and the employees are very kind and keep the check out lines as short as possible, one of the cashiers Brianna is always helpful and always has a positive attitude! Definitely my to go to thrift store!

This was my first time in savers, I feel like in south OC there aren’t any locations. But anywho, this place was pretty awesome. The racks were organized by sizes, NOT BY COLOR. Which was a big plus for someone who wants to save their time looking through clothes that actually fits you rather than ramsacking the whole color rack. And the price was pretty good too.
The only downside I would say is the try on section. It was crowded and even though it said 5 items only at a time, people were trying at least 10 because it took a long time for me to get a stall.
In the end, I left the store happy with a faux suede jacket, pinstriped shirt dress, a graphic tshirt, and a pair of acid wash jeans for $ 23. It was an amazing experience.

I showed up today and the store was very busy as usual. I did my normal routine and ventured through the shirts and dresses and then shoes and to the check out. To my surprise there was only one checkout going and noticed a lack of employees on the floor. Luckily it was my favorite girl Linda that also goes by Melinda. She has always been so sweet and compliments what I buy. if a manager needs to be called they are always quick to respond and i wish the store was a lil old fashion like it used to be.

Couple of weeks ago found two pairs of Converse AllStars for $ 11.99 each, one is hightops! Then yesterday, found two more pairs for $ 6.99 and $ 7.99. My daughter’s size… now she has a black, a red, a blue, and a tan pair for less then one pair at retail. All four pair look great without holes and minimal wear, great for a high school student!

This store is so well organized everything is sorted out by dept. It’s is nice and clean and is designed like a regular store. The only thing that I found wrong was the prices. The prices are too high on some stuff for itams to be donated it should be less. For the prices that some stuff was at I could get at a new store.

I’ve been thrifting for about 10 years now… and wow. How have I never heard of this place!!! I’m hooked/​obsessed. They have a HUGE selection, and for a thrift store they are very organized… Savers has good quality clothing, shoes, and household stuff. Diggin’ it.

For a thrift store, the place has a lot of stuff. I never really find «
cool» fashion but if I need a quick sweater and a book or something, I will stop at this place. It is a bit messy at times but mostly during special days like Halloween etc. The staff is ok, nothing outstanding but they do what they are there to do. I have donated tons of good stuff and the guys outside are always really nice. Overall, the place is ok, the prices are ok, I can’t complain, its worth trying the place out if you are looking for used items that are in good shape.

Omg! I was at savers last week. I have horrible experience with one supervisers. her name is toni cortez. I asked her for a price check, her response was that she was busy and I’m not the only customer
i asked to talk to the manager. and she said she was the manager on charge. not coming back to this place.

Savers over Goodwill
I really like how organized Savers is and how they don’t jam pack clothes on the racks. The clothes are in good condition and there’s lots of shoes! There were plenty of dressing rooms. I scored myself some good items!

Horrible, horrible customer service from a Supervisor where they price items. This person attacked me said I could not stand by electronics area and said I had to leave. If you want this persons name, here it is Toni Cortez. Savers corporate office please get in contact with me. This person was very rude and should not be employed there. She probably doesn’t treat her employees right either. Please don’t shop here any more and go to the Arcadia Savers or the Yorba Linda. Better customer service there I’m sure. Or I can try going to Godwill Thrift Stores instead.

why are they so much cleaner than goodwill?!! whatever it is, i hope they keep doing it! almost everything is in GREAT condition. everything is laid out by gender, then by category (tanks, short sleeve knit, short sleeve woven, blouse, etc.), then again by size. it is obvious they are constantly checking the racks because today i could not find ONE thing in the wrong spot! each day has a special discount going on (today it was 50% off silver tags and shorts, tanks and swimwear). all the kids’ toys for sale were clean and presentable. i wouldn’t be worried about all the germs on it if my girls had wanted something. i got 6 shirts, 3 shorts, 2 pants (both with tags still on!) and 2 board games for a grand total of $ 37!!!
i hear they give you 30% off coupons if you donate
goods. they do not refund anything but within 7 days of purchase you can exchange so long as their tags are still attached.
when i have time i will go check out the books! it looks like barnes and nobles on that side of the store!

Savers is a pretty neat place to shop. They are organized, relatively clean and they carry some good stuff. I always say that a thrift store is only as good as the surrounding community who donates to it, and this can be proven by this store. I’ve seen from really nice sports jerseys, to full fish tanks, PlayStation 3’s and even some higher end designer eye wear and jewelery.
The prices tend to run a higher than those at the Goodwill, sometimes being as much as purchasing an item brand new from a store, but this store is way more organized. All the clothing is separated by what type it is: short sleeve, long sleeve, pants, shorts, etc. And then it is all separated by sizes, which helps cut down on a lot of time that you would have to spend going rack by rack to try to find at least one item you like. This organization also makes it easy to come into the store if you are in a rush as you will be able to find exactly what you may be looking easily.
If you donate to Savers they will give you a stamp card. The more you donate, the more stamps you get and the high your discount will be when you use the card. The max discount you can earn with one of these cards is 30%.
I prefer this location over the location in Anaheim, but that might just be personal preference. Come check it out, I am sure that you will find at least one thing every time you come in.

I love this place ! Very close to my house ! Very organized. The price is way better than good will, very reasonable price and the services always good !
I love how they organized the clothes :) by size, Not color ! Make it very easy to find the size you looking for ! Big plus !

Bad customer service. Two girls working at the cashier just talking. didn’t even see me standing there I ended up walking out. Very dissatisfied with the employee service.

This is my favorite thrift store, but if you wear 34 30 Levi’s, or read Theology, then save some for me!

I came here since I knew I would be in the area and this has been on the list for a while. Clothes are nicely organized by size and style. The shoes section was pretty large and was sorted nicely by size. They have dressing rooms.
Large book section and housewares here with lots of frames. Price wise it’s about the same like Goodwill. Clean and there wasn’t a strong «thrift store smell» here.

I love THIFT stores, however, this one is hit and miss. I have been here a few times during my trips to LA for different reasons. I came here last year. I found a really cool tootsie roll shirt that was a medium size, however, left it at the hotel we were staying at which sucks. I did pick up a cool black used U2 pop mart shift = score. Staff are okay. The place is organized. It looks and feels a lot like a Value Village in Vancouver.

I am going to be honest, I was one of those bougie people that got itchy just thinking about thrift stores… in earlier years, you would have NEVER caught me at one. But thanks to Pintrest (and my tight ass budget), I start repurposing furniture and when I can’t get it free, I hit my local thrifts. Very recently I started venturing into the clothes section and since I scored an awesome vintage dress at the Goodwill (that everyone and their mothers rave about when I wear it) I keep my eyes peeled for unique pieces.
The first time I came to Savers I scored (and I mean SCORED) with vintage blazers. My friend said I have an «eye» for vintage (I don’t know about all THAT) but I just go for no-​name garments that tell a story and speak to me (Arleene, wear me!) My dry cleaning lady always tries to buy something off me when I take them in… maybe I should start a business? Possibly.
Anyways. Today being Veterans Day, they had 50% off pretty much everything. What did that mean for me? Two side tables, 3 huge frames, and a gold tray for $ 20! What!!! It gets crazy in there but I enlist the help of my 8 year old and together we elbow our way through the madness.
Pros: The place is HUGE
Great selection of everything
Great sales
Clothes are arranged by SIZE
They have a rewards card
Cons: The parking lot is cray
Tons of people on sale days
Sometimes they don’t have shopping carts
Service is hit or miss although I did get a great cashier… once
If you are in the area, don’t stop by. I want all the goodies for myself! Muahahah!

I have been coming to this Savers form years and every time I go in I always leave with bags full of stuff. Love how big it is and how bright it is inside. I recently went in and bought 3 dresses, a cardigan, a tote bag, a bag of happy meal toys, and 2 tops all for $ 28. One of the dresses I bought was from target and retailed for $ 32 so for less than one dress I walked out with much more. I could spend hours in here, if my husband let me :)
Only cons I have: 1) it’s far from me :(and 2) when halloween rolls around their costumes are sometimes pricey, they run you almost the same as if you went to the pop up halloween shops. Other than that it’s a good place to go thrifting :)

I frequent the Savers in Arcadia often, hunting for old film cameras, books, or other things that catch my eye.
I happened to drive by this Savers, and thought I would jump in real quick to see if they had anything I liked. Walked by a few employees, no words, no big deal. Asked for help from two people, and kinda of got shrugged off and pointed away.
Got to cash register to buy a couple of things and the cashier was just plain rude. It sucks, because the Arcadia location is night and day difference and has great customer service.

You literally become a ‘Saver’ shopping here!

I think the prices at Savers is significantly lower than goodwill prices. I’ve walked away with ankle boots, dresses, purses, comforters. Every item under 7 dollars. The place is huge and organized by SIZE. The last time I was at a goodwill, it was organized more by style and color than size. There’s nothing more disappointing than finding a cute shirt that’s not in your size! If you donate a bag of clothes you get a 30% off coupon. Its a nice incentive. I recommend signing up for a savers club card, its FREE to sign up and on special occasions you’ll get discounts that the general public do not get! I really like salvation army, much more than savers, but there is none close to me. I’m surrounded by 3 Goodwill’s actually and just this savers hence why I really like this place!
My only complaint is that when i come here alone and try on clothes with a cart full of treasures, my cart needs to be left outside unattended. I have to rush to try on clothes because Ive had two occasions where the workers moved my cart away from the fitting room and proceeded to put my stuff back on the racks and on another a separate occasion, a customer took a vintage purse I had lying in my cart which i rummaged through a pile for. I know because I saw her leave with it!!! I’ll never forget your face lady!

Good old Saver’s, remember when it first opened (I think back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s, because I use to shop there when it was an Alpha Beta grocery store… lol)
Any who, I was so addicted to it, that I went just about every week in there and got lots of great stuff bargain priced. And I remember the biggest times where their biggest sales they throw periodically through the year. They also have discounted color of the day. The other big time to go there would be Halloween when people are searching for that perfect costume or piece to go with it. Christmas is also another since they have great Christmas decorations and décor for the home at prices just a tad bit cheaper than Target or Walmart. I also remember how in the beginning it was set up differently, although always trying to be neat, it was a little on the disorganized side.
Well low & behold years later, how far it’s come! Nicer, wide aisles of items, nicely kept in order and in divided into their own sections, with big bright signs.
Prices as we all are aware, have gone up. But I’ve been there a few times & have seen cheaper prices that you wouldn’t at Goodwill & Salvation army.
But please don’t come here with high expectations, (I speak from experiencing it myself) because it’s definitely hit and miss, I usually go there w/​this attitude that I’m not going to find anything and it ends up being torture because they’ll have a lot of cute stuff that day. Other times I would expect to find something & «nada».
Place has also grown in popularity, the weekends are a mad house, weekdays, especially early morning/​afternoon are better times (except when they have those big sales).
There is an abundance of parking.
Donations are taken in the back I believe now. When they are closed, people pretty much dump their crap there anyways where you’ll see a few scavengers looking thru it.
They are other locations too, I’ve been to the Huntington Beach one, before it closed for good., now I think it’s Anaheim among others. They are also locations out of state, like Goodwill.
I don’t go there as much, if at all, but once a year, its just too crowded at times and I don’t have the energy I use to, when I was a hard core Thrift store junkie. That probably explains why I prefer going to thrift stores in the Inland Empire, because it’s the boonies and they have a ton of the non big chain, mom & pop thrift stores (unlike GW & SA). But if they put a Saver’s out there, I would definitely check it out!

Ahh yes! Another trip to Savers. Shortly after the Lomita opening
Again, another good store.
Savers offers the following
— clothing
–shoes
–electronics
–furniture
— wall decorations
–seasonal wears (new and old halloween stuff. Huzzah!)
–bric brac
–vhs
–records
–books
–housewares
–board games
By definition, Savers is a big store and their selection is huge and this store lived up to that expectation. Although there was a lot of stuff, for the most part, I did not find the quality of the stuff in the store to be as awesome as other savers I had previously frequented (still good though folks, still good)
Their strongest department was without a doubt, their bric brac. Although there was definitely a lot of junk, I managed to snag an awesome clock (though not completely working) for eight bucks. I would suggest hitting up this section.
prices were okay. books that were originally up to 7.94 were 1.99 and all books originally priced above that were 2.99; if you purchased four you also received one book free. most of the books were in okay condition. Bric brac was priced individually and I found it to be higher than many of the other savers than I had previously been to. Videotapes were a few dollars and so were records. Clothing was priced individually though I found most of the clothing to be overpriced for what it was. Wall hangings were in the camp of ten dollars. Although the furniture was in pretty grim condition I found some pretty awesome steals (
) such as this filing cabinet for fifteen bucks.
Again, Savers shines in it’s customer service. Although I only had one encounter with a service associate, it was a positive one. The cashier behind the counter was incredibly friendly and upon her noticing a part of the clock I was purchasing wasn’t working, she was quick to offer suggestion and advice over places or things I could do to get it fixed. Good work Savers!
Relatively speaking, this Savers was pretty run-​of-​the-​mill for a thrift store environment but not great for a Savers. The Bric Brac and housewares was a bit dirty and disorganized as were the furniture and the wall hangings. The books and videotapes were organized.
Savers is definitely worth a visit, but maybe not a mecca.
