Editor's Review

Walking into Savers in Redwood City, you might expect a treasure trove of secondhand clothing and household goods, but the reality is a bit more complicated. Many reviewers have shared that the store feels like a mixed bag, with some items priced far above expectations for a thrift store. As Peggy G. succinctly put it, 'Thrift store but with absolutely out of touch prices.' It's clear that while Savers offers a variety of products, the pricing has left many scratching their heads.

On the flip side, some customers appreciate the family-owned touch that Savers brings to the table, providing a sense of community that can be hard to find in bigger chains. They've been around since 1992, which speaks to a level of reliability and trustworthiness. However, even this goodwill cannot overshadow the frustrations voiced by others. Anita Abeyta expressed a common concern when she said, 'Beware, don’t purchase merchandise unless you try it out in the store.' The store's policy on returns for non-clothing items has created more than a few unhappy customers.

While shoppers might find gems hidden among the racks, the overall sentiment tends toward caution. The potential for disappointment looms large, especially with reports of rude service and dirty conditions. For a thrift store, you want to feel like you might just uncover something amazing, but many felt let down instead. In conclusion, while Savers has its charms, those looking for a solid thrift experience might want to keep their options open.

Best for: Bargain hunters looking for secondhand clothing but willing to sift through some overpriced items.

The pricing of many things are completely out of touch with 1. the kind of store this is 2. the quality of items. It would be quite comical if not so outrageous and disrespectful to it's customers at the end. So for instance you want to buy some old...

They are entirely overpriced for donations. Especially their jewelry counter. Hundreds of dollars as their price(s) is absolutely astonishing and they are literally price gouging. So disgusting!
