Savers

Haven’t shopped here yet, so will have to comment on that at a future date. Today I dropped off several bags of clothes, throw rugs and decorative knick knacks I finally culled out of the closets. (How do these things breed like bunnies when you’re not looking!?) Usually we just do the Planet Aid drop boxes on the side of the road, or arrange for Epilepsy or Big Brothers to do a pick up. But I saw in our local paper that Savers had partnered with the Kingston, NH recreation department to raise funds for their community programs. Between Feb 27 and March 1/​16, Savers will donate 20 cents/​lb of soft goods and 5 cents/​lb of hard goods to Kingston.
I pulled into the donation center drop off area. Didn’t see anyone around and it all looked really cluttered (thought maybe people were ignoring the «no dumping» sign) so wasn’t sure if they were even receiving at that time. But a moment later a friendly young man came out and helped unload the Jeep. Good thing I mentioned my stuff was intended for the Kingston program, because that huge pile was what they had received so far. They were keeping it all separate from other donations. After the cut off time, they will weigh it all and determine how much the Rec Dept will receive.
He took out a rewards card — you get a percentage off in the store for each big bag or box of goods donated — and punched it in full for a 30% discount. Should have only been 25%. Thank you! :) I had no intention of going in today and trying to fill up the closet space I had just opened up! But the card is good until the end of the year, so I’m sure I’ll be back to have a good rummage. Not that I need anything… Famous last words! ;)

This is a consignment shop that I frequent almost every weekend. They have the best selection of kitchen ware. I bought Pyrex glass baking dishes for Thanksgiving there for around $ 1.99 /​$ 2.99 each — also have bought many random «cool» coffee mugs and wine glasses. I wish the merchandise was (somehow) washed and dried first before placing on the racks for customers, but it’s a rare thing to find at any consignment shop anyway. During Halloween they had a HUGE selection of new and old Halloween costumes and items at a decent price for good quality. I also have found many pairs of shoes for myself here, that were almost new for less than $ 10 – 20. And I have never experienced bad customer service. I would recommend this place over Salvation Army or Good Will any day of the week.

Great store and very clean and organized. Do not understand the bad reviews for John, and his staff, that i read. He has always been so friendly and helpful, and as far as the staff goes, have nothing but good things to say about them also. i have been going to this store since it opened, and think that they are all doing a good job. i try not to go too often because i buy things that i really do not need.ha. and i am trying to downsize not upsize, if there is such a word… ha… but it is one of my favorite thrift stores… i also give very regular to this store which has helped me in my downsizing process., and feel like i am helping others at the same time. which makes my heart feel good.

Since this store has opened I have found many bargains. The store is very clean, organized and the employees are more than willing to go out of their way to help you. I had the pleasure of meeting John the manager and he is nothing like what the others have written about him. Take a visit in there and see for yourself how lucky we are to have a store like this in our neighborhood. I have visited other Savers stores and none were as nice and clean as this one.

I do find some terrific items in there… I love going there an I would also like to add that I always spend a lot of money. and I also know it goes to a great cause. but the staff is very unhelpful very RUDE. especially the manager JOHN. THEY ALSO SHUT DOWN THE DRESSING ROOMS A HOUR BEFORE THEY CLOSE. which I also think is unfair because there is no returns and I’d like to try on the items before I purchase them. and they’re always rushing you out of the store I think it’s great that they’re open an hour later but you would never know it because they’re always pushing you out the door… thank you I hope the problem gets fixed quickly because I know a lot of people feel the same exact way

First off, in my experience I have encountered several rude staff members. I have found some OK stuff here, but it is kinda overpriced. I can get new stuff on clearance for these prices.
That being said, they DO have decent items in good condition. I can’t bring myself to pay the high prices for used clothing, but sometimes you can find decent kids stuff. I got a pretty good tricycle for $ 9.99. That’s the only thing I have bought there.
Don’t ask if they have sales though, cause they don’t. The cashier girls made that rudely clear to me.
