| - I admit that I have missed out on the gem that is Savers. They opened this location in Scottsdale not many years ago near where I used to work and my mom would tell me how great it is, but I never realized just how cool it is! My boyfriend and I have spent the last few months coming here sometimes daily. The beauty in these stores (like Goodwill) is that they're constantly adding new things to the shelves throughout the day, so if you weren't the early bird and missed something in the morning, you can still find good stuff in the afternoon. There's a Quiznos within walking distance so you can eat beforehand, then burn some calories coming here after and walking around the store for an hour!
Some of the staff are very friendly! They have a good amount of high end brands, if you're into that. I've seen LV and Coach purses, very low priced (there ARE ripoff brand purses, but if you know what to look for you can find the real deal). Same goes for jeans...lots of otherwise expensive jeans and shoes that are high-end brands for less than $20. I often times get stuff that is still sealed. I love how they have daily 50% off color-specific tags and Friday's are club card 25% off days. If you have furniture you want to buy, you can pay for it and have them hold it if you need to arrange for transportation to pick it up. and they will help you load in.
The only things that bum me out:
earlier in the summer, they had a punch-card promo. my BF and I were coming here daily and buying stuff, but no one told us about the card. By the time I found out about it (on here, actually!) and I brought it up to the cashier a few weeks ago, he said the promo had already ended. I'm not sure why no one told us the dozens of times we were in there, but now we know for next summer.
Some things are not fully functional. I wish they could be tested and noted on the product (sometimes they are), but we tend to look at the electronics mostly and an iHome I purchased for $6 was only partially functional (electronics are final sale). Radio works, but the actual dock is broken. I even tried switching it out with another dock of the same kind of iHome, but it didn't work. So now I'm stuck with it.
As some others have stated, yes, some of the prices can be marked up. You just have to know what is worth it, and what isn't. Use your judgement -- I can usually quickly tell if something is overpriced or not. Items that are obviously used and have dirt/stains on them should be marked much lower. Last week I got four nice tank tops for $11 after discounts. Now that's a good deal!
I've found a lot of other good deals at this Savers. So far out of all the other Savers I have been to, this is the only one I've bought anything from. I would come to Savers over Goodwill any day (and I DO like Goodwill). They have something for everyone!
