| - naa, Bad Savers! Bad!
I used to come in here all of the time and they had great stuff and not only that, they were at great prices. Now they have a lot of dumpy stuff to say it ineloquently. Ladies if you go in the back to find awesome purses, there are now only ugly purses or cheap knockoff purses that they price expensively. Right, like no one can tell these are not real.
Clothes, they just do not have anything good anymore, previously there were good brands and nice styles. Of course this is subjective but I'm just giving you a general idea here. Shoes are just as bad, brands are obscure and anything you would remotely consider, maybe just to say you have something, are priced way too much.
Men's ties are a wreck and so are the belts, you can however find nice ones for women. I can at least say their book selection is good, I found a lot of good finds there. Housewares, well that's another story. I understand that they are trying to make money here and that the money is going to a good cause, but what's the point if people can't afford or won't buy items that are priced too highly?
I saw a crystal pitcher in there that was nice, it was no Baccarat Crystal but one of those pitchers you might find at Ross for say $24 bucks, and I said to myself okay that looks nice, maybe $15-20 give or take would be fair. I turn it over to see the price and it was $50.00. The only thing I saw there that was a steal was a nice couch that they marked for $25, the next day was a 50% off day so someone got the couch for $12.50. Even another customer remarked, "Wow only $25? they usually mark up everything too high."
One man kindly gave me his coupon for 50% off. You can get these apparently by donating a large bag of items or clothing. They are only good for that day, and only good on clothing, shoes and linens. So not housewares that include dishes, appliances, furniture.
What happened to you Savers? I guess I have to break up with you before I cheat on you. I am now moving on to other independent thrift stores. It's not you, it's me.
