They are well organized as well as the DVDs. You can't beat the pricing for hard cover books at $1.49 each. It wasn't until I left that I noticed I was charged $2.99 for a book and $4.99 for the Forest Gump DVD. These items had small stickers on the spine that I thought were hold overs from the person who donated the items. The other books were $1.49. The children's book I purchased was only 49 cents. I will be back because this is next door to one of my favorite ice cream shops!

Well Ive messaged directly before with NO Reply so this time Ive posted on Social media and online…read morereviews with my words and photos and I have tagged the Saginaw MI store as well as The organization and have left a one star review. Here's my Post The Salvation Army USA The Salvation Army Saginaw Family Store REALLY? TWO Big Gripes and what Im going to do about them: First.. Wed is Senior discount day and they lowered the senior discount from 20 to 10%. SO Tell me what population are you trying to serve? This is a shameful nickel and diming of your elderly community. Same goes for your Veteran discount. Yeah, give them 10% off for dodging a bullet... oy. Salvation Army on State Street in Saginaw Mi. The prices in there are nutty .. sometimes they are okay and sometimes its like squirrels priced stuff. I usually shut my mouth and shake my head, leaving alot of things behind. Today I was in this morning. They have stuff priced for more then I can buy it new. Yes, no exaggeration but here was one of the most JAW DROPPING price tags. Empty jars that candles came in .. for 3.99 each. YEP... completely empty clear glass jars that used to have a candle in it. Some even with the old label still on them and they are selling them for 4 bucks a piece! GEE I wonder how much you could sell a Tomato sauce jar for? I hope they have an explanation for this and please since I cant imagine that they could explain it.. I hope they have someone go through their shelves and price items like they are not on dope. MY PLAN moving forward Ive ALWAYS donated to Salvation army with $$ with household goods and by shopping there. Im going to start donating to smaller thrift stores that are not trying to match new store prices. There are Thrift stores that continue to do the work locally.. sell their donated items at a sensible profit without overpricing everything and treat their senior and veteran communities with a respectful discount one day a week. Seems like a small thing to ask of a MAJOR organization that we keep funding. Try out : AbleLight Underground Railroad Resale

There were also great smelling candles and neat purses.

This is a decent goodwill for knick knacks etc but it used to actually be phenomenal.. I guess…read moreeveryone got wind of how good it was because the last three times we went thrifting here were a total strikeout.. we left empty-handed... The last time the store looked like it had been cleaned out.. nothing restocked, rows of haphazardly tossed together racks of clothing (none of it worth my money, time, effort, energy, etc) and tons of empty shelves and open space. It wasn't even right after a half off sale.. very dirty, messy and boring...I was quite surprised, though I can't be shocked everyone else figured out this was the best thrift store in the area. Oh well.. I'll still give them three stars based on previous shopping trips here and the awesome scores I've had before.. hopefully, it'll return to the store it's been before everyone interested in discovering eccentric treasures, Target castoffs and vintage clothing found this place! We'll try it again in the near future......

The general notion that a reduced price location for new goods and products has fallen a bit by the wayside, anyway. Don't mistake this for a flea market or a charity resale shop. This is antique shopping and it's by consignment. Dealers have their booths, but they are not present, like at a flea market. It's a small suite with plenty of displays that offer an endless array of nostalgia. You could spend hours looking at all the memories. We have. As you would expect the prices are quite high. If it's something you really love, you have a decision to make! Unfortunately, the shop keepers have a policy against contacting the vendors to haggle or negotiate a lower price. 07/25
