Marshall's is a good place to buy kids clothing, comforters, kitchen stuff and latest furniture…read more I would find great deals on comforter sets. The comforters are usually branded and of high quality. Most of my comforters I have bought are from here. Over the last 2 to 3 years I have ventured out but haven't been able to match the high quality and the brand at Marshall's. I did ship by a coue of times here but wasn't lucky to find a good deal. Make frequent visits and go window shopping frequently to find your deals. Venture walking in the mall during the winter rather than home.

In town visiting and this HomeGoods/Marshalls store has great selection of items. The clothing part…read morewas a bit underwhelming but guess most stores don't have anything great. The HomeGoods part has a lot of good stuff. Service was good. This is Marshall's, so value is decent. I think their prices for the HomeGoods part was a bit expensive for stuff not really worth it, but we cannot get away from the inflation and tariffs, but Marshalls/HomeGoods should think twice about the prices they place on certain cheap items.

Happy to have two Targets near my home. Since I have a back issue, I like to use the Drive Up…read moreoption to purchase groceries, cleaning products, and toiletries etc. I have never had a problem with Drive Up being unavailable at the store in Glenville as it has been several times at the Niskayuna store because a particular exit "door was not working." When drive up is not available in Niskayuna, the options are to switch to Pick Up in store or cancel order. I like Target drive up because pickup can be made during any hour the store is open. You are not limited to a time frame like Hannaford and Market 32 set. I am pleased that several types of RETURNS can be made using Drive up. It can be done along with Pickup. I initiate the return on the Target app and get approval. Then I place the return item in the back of my SUV and return at my convenience. A Target staff member comes to my car and scans the code. Within a few minutes, the refund is noted on my Target credit card. The process is efficient and clear. Refunds are prompt!

Easy returns. I appreciate it! The guest desk was very helpful at the Glenville store.read more

How is this not in yelp? Maybe it's new. It's certainly well organized. It's also large. Next…read moreto a Michaels on one side and empty store on the other, so easy parking. 3 stars for this large chain. I default chains to 3 stars as they must be A-OK to expand as they have.

What-A-Bargain is a bin store that sells returned items from big box stores (I.e. Walmart,…read moreKohl's...) and online retailers (I.e. Amazon) and sells the items for a fraction of the price. I really love this store, it's like a treasure hunt every time you shop, you never know what you're going to find. The staff and owners are the definition of what good customer service is and they live up to their name with the bargain prices. You can tell that they truly care about making their community a better place.

When I moved to Albany a mere few-months-ago, I knew more-or-less full well what I was getting…read moremyself into. Dunkin Donuts. Crappy drivers. Crappier pedestrians. Sales tax. Pumping my own gas. Stop lights in the middle of neighborhoods. Cold winters. Potholes. Homework. What I wasn't banking in on, though, was the enormous H&M that just happened to be in Crossgates Mall. I mean, it's Albany. It's a mall. It's not *supposed* to have cool stores like H&M. Save that for NYC. Well, maybe that's the Oregonian in me, where H&M is all the envy, and if we get particularly desperate, we drive 3.5 hours north to Seattle. The last time I was at an H&M it was one of those crazy religious experiences (and at least three years ago), where I knew I probably wouldn't be able to wear most of the clothing, but dammit, I'd bring something home. I've treasured my scarf, socks, and costume jewels ever since. And today. It brought it all back. First of all, this store is shiny and ENORMOUSLY HUGE. I wanted to touch everything. And eventually, we headed back to the accessories section. I didn't want to spend any money, but, but...I got a sweet necklace for $3.50, and two flower fascinator clips for the same. WHAT THE??! That is a steal, if you ask me. Also got a really great bag for $15. YIPPEE!!! They had scarves and hats and socks galore. I was in heaven. For serious. There is a bright, shining light in Albany. The epicenter is H&M. Amen.

Great store, good prices, friendly staff. At this H&M shoppers find a ship-shape store with good…read moremusic!

This place is great but the front end help doesn't care about customer service. I was there today…read more(May 28 - noon) and whoever was working at the checkout was rude, impatient and could care less about delivering a terrific experience. I'm a Platinum customer and have been loyal for years. If Hallmark cares about sending the very best this person isn't helping you to deliver that message. Give it some thought they're not helping your business. Not sure I'm coming back when you're treated like this.

This is a nice Hallmark store. Admittedly, they are mostly of the cookie-cutter variety in that…read morethey have the same items, usually are arranged the same way, have the same prices, etc. However, this one was pretty convenient to get to when I lived in Clifton Park. The staff was always friendly, which is the most important thing in a store like this. One thing I missed about other Hallmark branches was the 40%-50% discount on Christmas ornaments the day after Christmas. Here, they offered a discount but it wasn't as generous. I suppose I shouldn't fault them for that, but I rely on those sales to decorate next year's tree!

In my efforts to downsize, I've been making some donations to the Salvation Army on Central Avenue…read morein Colonie. I like this facility. It's larger than many of the other locations. It's open on most days. They accept donations around the back. Due to staffing limitations they explained that donations of household goods must be dropped off before 11am on weekdays. They accept clothing donations throughout much of the day. They move a lot of clothing. Most of the staff is genuinely nice and helpful. I discovered that this center is also a good place to find cool, vintage glassware, especially from the 1960s. I love glassware. So while I make donations, I also pick up some fascinating etched stemware. Most don't match. It's hard to find sets but I can't beat the price which is 79 cents per glass. I also picked up some cute vintage dessert glasses at $1.99 apiece. I must sell or give away more than I purchase in order to downsize. The rule of de-cluttering is that you must donate or sell an old item before you buy a "new" one. The items at the Salvation Army are not generally new, but it is about people helping people and you can find some cool stuff.

I experienced a poor reception while donating. Sign outside said all donations must be brought…read moreinside. Went inside was told donations were around back. No signs in parking lot. Went around back. Sign said to push button for service. There was no button. Called inside and said I needed help with six bags (am elderly and handicapped). Told they can't take things from cars. No attempt to find a solution such as I take them out and give them to the employee(s). Dumped them in lot. Next time, I will go elsewhere.
