Savers

I’ve been coming here since it opened a couple of years ago… For a thrift store, Savers is bright, shiny, and extremely clean. There are no typical bad smells or possible «critters» crawling around. BUT, the store is practically always near empty. This store is LARGE, but there is usually no more than 5 to 10 customers shopping in this store at one time. … So what’s the problem here? There is no daily Color Tag Specials!!! And, the PRICES ARE HIGH !!! Today, there was a Black North Face Bubble Coat (with a small rip in the sleeve) for $ 150!!! And, I have seen a set of simple gold Dining Chargers for 4 for $ 9.99… Way too expensive for this Thrift Store Queen!
Needless to say, I love Thrifting, so I still stop by this Savers once a month. Again, you never know what you may find. Plus, there are coupons for $ 3 off of a $ 10 purchase when you donate. Additionally, there is a «Hero» donation card, which you earn stamps to fill 6 spots that start at 5% off and lead to 30% off. The card expires at the end of the year.
Savers is a good place to shop for Halloween though. They have a huge selection of new and used items.

WOW is this place super over-​priced for second hand, used merchandise. WHY would I pay $ 17.99 for a pre-​worn dress, when I can go to Walmart or Target and pay the SAME amount? NEWSFLASH! Not every knick knack is Antiques Roadshow worthy… an $ 8.00 price tag on a beat up candle? They have TONS of clothes… the racks were packed. What a disservice to over charge the people that REALLY need to shop here.

Large and plentiful selection of items, worth a visit. They like other thrifts are getting a little greedy with their book prices.

These reviews :(I’ve never had any troubles up at this place. It’s always clean and once again empty? (why do I always go to places when they’re empty lol wowooow okay) They have such a good collection forreal I found so much Tommy H. And Nike up here. You just have to dig for it! There’s so much Tommy I wanted to cry lmao brand new too. The coats are so cute too like yaaass vintage and 90s .They got a good selection! Even on the day they had a sale on their winter clothes it was still empty and clean as fu-​, you get the point. This is babe and rad af.

Last week I decided to stop in. I had to use the restroom and the first stall I entered had feces smeared all over the toilet. The second one had urine soaked toilet paper all over the floor. I was pissed because I stepped on some of it. The third one was not much better but I had to go. So I did a hover over. Upon finishing up one of the employees was about to exit and I said to her… this restroom is DISGUSTING!!! She said, «what do you mean?» Are you kidding me!!! Now one of two things could play into her reaction… She either knows and her give a damn is broken… Or she keeps a filthy home herself. After I asked her if she’s in the same bathroom as I am and told her about the feces smears and soiled soaking urine wads of toilet paper she brused me off with a «I’ll tell my manager».
Lastly the prices are way to high for second hand items that look second hand. Some of the prices I’ve noticed are higher than in regular retail stores.
Just NO!!!

This place is pricey, smells bad, staff is not friendly and the bathrooms smell DISGUSTING and are filthy. GOOD WILL on 159^th and harlem is way better.

This is a «bottom of the barrel» thrift store. They barely ever re-​stock. The same pilled, faded, outdated sweaters hang on the racks for weeks. Occasionally they have high end stuff that they price ridiculously high. One time they had a Tory Burch dress priced at $ 69.00. You may as well go to Nordstrom Rack if you want to pay those prices at a thrift store. Because they never have new merchandise, they do something funky with the crap they do have hanging on the racks… They shove it all together and push the crap clothes in the middle of the rack… I think that they (they being the employees/​management) think it makes the store look neater or something, when it simply further emphasizes the lack of merchandise in the store!!! Even the so-​called «books» and «magazines» section sucks… Its okay I guess if you want Oprah Winfrey or Parenting magazines from 2004 that desperate souls donate in order to get the dumb 20% off coupon for donating!!! Further, I believe that the management/​powers that be at Savers put stuff that they think is of «value» on Ebay and/​or the employees pilfer the «good stuff»…Thats why they have crap on their racks!!! How can I say this? Well, let’s just say I donated to them about forty pieces of Juicy Couture clothing, basically tons of Juicy Couture tee shirts/​tanks that were a little too juvenile for me at this point. I went in there on a frequent basis after donating these items, and they never ended up on the racks, so obviously either all the employees took them before they even reached the floor and/​or some genius put them on Ebay. What a fraud they are!!! All Savers are alike… Stupid!!! If you want outdated JC Penny’s/Kohl’s/Sears/Old Lady frocks at ridiculous prices shop at Savers!!!

One of my favorite resale/​thrift stores. When you donate, you get a 20% off coupon and donations benefit the Epilepsy Foundation. You can also get discounts with a Savers Club Card and shoppers over 55 get a discount on Tuesdays. Recently on Labor Day, all clothing and bed and bath was 50% off so I’ll definitely be coming around during holidays!
This store is very big and very clean. Savers reminds me of a «better» Goodwill. Of course, you do need to hunt, but treasures can definitely be found. I almost always find something here. I’ve found brands such as Zara, H&M, Forever 21, LC Lauren Conrad, Ann Taylor, to name a few. I’ve also spotted designer purses behind the jewelry counter before. Their book selection is also quite good!
Come when you’ve got some time on your hands!

I’m not too knowledgeable about Savers thrift store. Meaning, I don’t have a history of thrifting here. So upon entering the store later this evening, though the selection of items are vast, which is nice, I’ve discovered that the prices for the clothing are a bit pricey for thrift store finds… like $ 12.99 for a shirt that does not look semi-​new (faded, balls of lint) but because it’s Liz Claiborne or Ralph Lauren Savers is implying the cost of the item is justified. Also, one of the most important things that I find to be very unfavorable about Savers in Orland Park, IL. Is their customer service. After searching for an extensive amount of time in such a big store, for reasonably priced items that interested me, I went to try them on but to my dismay the fitting room was locked. I inquired about my concern with a store associate, he causally replied, «The dressing room locks when the store is closed. «I asked him why didn’t the store announce a courtesy call simply stating the fitting rooms will be closing please if you desire to try on any items come to the front. Thank You!(remember I’m a newcomer to the store I am not aware of the policies) He said, «No, we are not suppose to do that. REALLY??? You can’t at least make an exception for a customer or direct me to a Manager?!
Savers just lost a potential customer due to poor service. How disappointing. 1 star.

I like this store. A wonderful selection and good prices. The store is CLEAN. You hear me? CLEAN. And bright. I could shop and still look around to see if my boyfriend was coming my way to rush me out. Hahaha.
You get a coupon for donating to their store. I love it. The atmosphere put me in a friendly mood, so I made nice with the cashier on the way out. We acted like we were friends, chatting about clothes and jewelry.
This store reminds me of the one I saw on the Thrift Shop video.
I’ll be going back soon to redeem my coupon. Thanks!

I love checking out the newest thrift store and I’m glad I checkout this one. I used to go to the local salvation army store in bridgeview but compared to Savers it is awful.
Savers has a lot of good deals. It is clean, well organized and has good priced items. The Savers staff checks all items to see if they work before putting them on the shelf. I love the 2 walls of bagged things. They have one wall to the left with clear bags filled with office and home décor things and the other back wall is filled with girl and boy small toys. (perfect for any teacher looking to fill their prize bucket.) The clothes are nicely organized my size and the sizes are easy to see on the items. The tags are nicely printed unlike salvation army where you need to decipher every price tag.
When you leave the Savers store you don’t feel like you have to hose yourself down and I had no problem sitting on the floor to sift through the book section.
You always find a surprise here. I was able to get $ 50 worth of new office supplies like photo printing paper, glue dots, labels, etc. for $ 12.
They have good sales here too, on tuesdays people over 55 get a percentage off and you get 20% every time you donate something.
If you like going to garage sales this is the place for you.

I have been to 2 other Savers locations in the Chicagoland area and this one is pretty much up to par with the other ones. I’d have to say that this location is a bit more spacious and more «untouched» than the other ones I’ve been to. It’s kind of tucked away on a little strip next to a Charter Fitness about 2 minutes away from Orland Park Square. I came there midday on a Friday and there weren’t many people there at all. At least compared to the Downers Grove and Naperville locations.
I was able to find a lot of good books and some nice knick-​knacks. Some of the clothing was outrageously priced ($ 12 for an outdated and seemingly shrunken J. Crew sweater? No thanks). But I think this is a common occurrence at thrift stores lately. I’ve seen questionably priced items at the other locations as well so this isn’t something to complain about at this singular location. Though, you will find some nice designer items every so often, and in good condition too. You just have to look around and know what is worth the money and what is not.
Overall it is organized, clean, and doesn’t smell of mothballs.
