Savers is a global thrift store that offers a wide selection of gently used clothing, accessories, and household items. The store follows a Rethink Reuse business model, which involves purchasing, reselling, and recycling items to help communities and reduce waste, keeping over 700 million pounds of used goods out of landfills each year. The stores operate in various countries under brands like Savers, Value Village, Unique, and Village des Valeurs, with over 300 locations and 22,000 employees. Customers appreciate that the store is a good place for the whole family to find interesting items at a fair price. They can earn points on purchases and receive coupons for donating items, which grants discounts. However, some reviews mention that prices for used items can be high, with concerns about the cost of used towels, sheets, and other household goods. There are complaints about certain items, such as broken electronics or rusted cookware being sold at prices that seem too expensive. The organization of clothes is also criticized, along with long wait times at checkout, especially at self-checkout stations that often need assistance. Despite these issues, many customers enjoy shopping at Savers and appreciate their efforts to promote reuse and support community organizations.
