Great Thrift Store by Julie H. at InsiderPages

Savers is part of a chain of Thrift stores in the US and Canada. They purchase their goods by the pound from local charities and accept donations on behalf of those charities at the store. It is a small walmart sized store that is generally well organized and cleaner than most. Each week there is one tag color that is half price. They offer senior discounts and periodically have days where everything in the store is half price. They also have a large assortment of new items for Halloween each year at very good prices.

One of my favorite thrifts in ABQ!

I find the coolest stuff EVERY time I come to this thrift! They have a sale tag EVERY day and regular sales every month. They have a retro section which is awesome. Regular clothing can be tedious to go through because they have SO much. The women's shoe section rocks! It is huge! Also a huge purse/belt/accessory section. Downside... this place is ALWAYS busy. Lots of people shop here and it can be hard to get down isles when it is busy.

Most of the time they don't seem to have enough cashiers and you have to wait in line. On the plus side the cashiers are usually friendly and chill. IF you find something that doesn't have a price they will price it for you right there for cheap. They don't take it from you and not sell it to you like some thrifts do. Sometimes when they find some that they think is worth a lot they price it ridiculously high but you can also find treasures for super cheap if you look!

In Dec./Jan they sell a calendar for $1 that is full of coupons and is well worth the buy! They'll let you buy as many calendars as you want too!

Also, the BEST Halloween section during Sept/Oct.

• Pros: Great Selection, Treasures, Good Price
• Cons: Always busy, can be hard to sift through all the clothing
