Hello!

Hi there,
Just introducing myself to the forum.

I am an employee at a Savers locally and I LOVE IT!
We see the most amazing things while working there.  I am so into my job lol.

I have been looking around online for tips on how to find the best things in thrift shops so I can pick out the good items at the store I work at. We have one of the largest ones in the country.

Happy to be here and a pleasure to meet all of you =)

Hi, you'll love this site, it rocks. Where in the country do you live? You're the 2nd person in 2 days now who has written in that they work at Savers & love it! That makes me think well of the store as a business, it's a good sign if people like their jobs there. Makes me feel good about shopping there. We have 2 Savers in Anchorage, but I haven't been shopping at them since they were Value Village. If I have that part right, Savers used to be Value Village, right? One reason I don't go to them so much is a large part of what I like to thrift is books, & Savers, or Value Village charges a lot for books compared to "cheaper" thrift stores. Like at Sally paperbacks are .50 each, & at another local Catholic thrift they are .35 each or 3 for a $1.00. Also the location compared to where I live & travel within Anchorage, the Savers aren't in my "regular routes", but I would like to make a special trip & check them out. One of them is right next to a Salvation Army, in a good shopping district, so that's a plus. I do have a wooden rocking chair that I got at a Value Village several years ago that I love. I donated some clothing & received a discount, so if they still do that, that's a cool thing to do for their business. They are quite trendy with teens here....Anyway, welcome!

From one newbie to another:  WELCOME!
Where do I find a Savers?  I am in Connecticut and since I never heard of this store I am guessing you are far away from me!

Hi Everyone thanks for the welcome.

Value Village is just another name for the store. It depends where in the country you are as to what its called I guess lol.

I am in Minnesota.
