Super size thrift store that sort of forgotten that they are selling used merchandise. Their prices sort of make me chuckle. It seems like they set prices on used name brand clothing like it was new. I really have seen a lot of their used merchandise that you can actually buy new on sale for a couple of dollars more. Don't get me wrong they do offer a lot of fast fashion clothing at a decent price. Their housewares and everything else was a bit over priced. Coming to stores like this can be a hit or miss. Unfortunately it was a miss for me this time around. read more

Overtime prices have gradually increased. Depending on what you're looking to purchase, a new comparable alternative might be available next door at Marshall's Self checkout here is nice, if over 55 visit in Seniors day for an additional discount read more

Savers - Thrift Stores Near Me - East Providence, Rhode Island

I think this savers has some of the best stuff around. I've gotten many shoes, fun pieces, sweaters and more here! I'm always happy with this location! read more

I came here to get a laundry basket because I was trying to be more sustainable, there was one here priced at $8. So I went to the dollar store next door and got one for $1.50. Some of their clothes were also closer to $10. Thrifting is getting absurd, it's not just Savers but you still hate to see it. Organized though. read more

We have been to Savers a few times, both to donate items as well as to search for used items (mostly kitchen stuff)...but they do have a large section for shoes, clothes, home, etc. This store, located in a shopping plaza offers lots of parking and a nice footprint for shopping. Savers is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, and is a privately held for-profit thrift store retailer offering second hand merchandise. An international company, Savers has more than 315 locations throughout the United States of America, Canada, and Australia, and receives its merchandise by paying money to non-profit organizations for donated clothing and household items. Savers is known as Value Village in the Pacific Northwest, the Baltimore metropolitan area, and most of Canada, and Village des Valeurs in Quebec. Chicago stores and some locations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area are under the name Unique. In Australia and other regions of the U.S., the stores share the corporation's name. read more

I am very happy with Savers! The employees are very helpful and accommodating. The merchandise is very affordable, too!

Not usually in this area, we dropped in to look for some holiday decor. The store is quite large. Plenty of household items, including complete dish sets, glassware, knick-knacks, etc. They had several pieces of furniture. Definitely needing a coat of paint or re-staining. Some toys, plenty of clothes and lots of shoes. All the announcements here were in Spanish. Staff spoke English and seemed very nice. Parking is in a shared lot so you may need to walk a bit. read more

I found so many good name brand clothes here!! Slightly expensive for a thrift store but the quality of the clothes and amount to choose from made up for it. Was so so happy walking out of there read more

Savers - The haul - Thrift Stores Near Me - East Providence, Rhode Island

I vascilated between leaving a 3 or 4 star review, so it's a 3 1/2. This pricing is not an anomaly; I've seen it several times, and I realize the charitable nature of Savers, but, note to staff, you should take off original sticker so this duel pricing isn't so audacious. Regarding this location, staff/ customer service is hit or miss, there are 2 really nice/helpful staff; however, the surliness, and subtle near distain for customers is evident to quiet observers like me. i.e, about a month ago, a 60ish women, whose first language wasn't English (she had accent) asked for assistance with checking out as she approached lines, employee said "I'll help you" when customer got to the self checkouts she repeated again about needing help, and employee said gratuitously "I said I would in a low voice, I guess she knew better to sound too snooty". A little kindness, real customer service , common sense would consider: the woman not speaking and registering English as astutely as native speakers, like me; her age, and intimidation of register... that exchange was subtle and most ppl wouldn't have noticed but call me petty: I did, and it more or less encapsulates the "corporate culture" of E.P. Savers, which is nuts since 50 percent of their workload went away on the heals of Covid: no fitting rooms, and all 100 percent self checkout. I worked retail several years back and fitting rooms were the worst part of job. read more

Savers - Unworn "new shoes " marked higher than the original retail price...make it make sense - Thrift Stores Near Me - East Providence, Rhode Island

The senior discount day is great and I think it's on Tuesdays? However, be prepared to bag your own shit and make sure you bring your own bags if you don't want to buy them there because there's literally no one working and you're expected to do their job for them. Bags also have to be recyclable/reusable and you'll probably get kicked to the curb if you bring in plastic because of the douchebag mayor lmao. You're not helping anyone because the damage is already done to the environment. And I really don't see how making other people do your job helps that same cause, but hey. Energy-efficient for their asses maybe... Person I went with and I are disabled and we had to sit there locating tags and scanning for what felt like forever and bagging while her spine was bothering her. Really fucking inefficient to be quite honest, while workers were standing there by empty racks with empty hangers dwaddling on their phones and whining about hot flashes. Is this some new-age fuckery like Abercrombie and Fitch or whatever those stores are called in LA that make people scan and do the whole nine yards??? Older dude that works there is walking by and says to another female coworker 'it's been one hell of a week' or something and it's like... it's only Tuesday buddy. Maybe it was because the day was nearing it's end but.. lol They must be living in La La Land just standing there pacing back and forth. I feel bad for the stockers I saw in the back who actually have to do hard labor and push heavy shit around. Another thing... If something happens to not have a pricetag for whatever reason or you can't locate it to scan it (it happens with sheets where they'll put them between a fold or something) then they can't sell it to you. Things have stains and holes on them which is to be expected for a thrift store I guess but tbh I don't see how some things got past whoever they have check them, especially in the bedding aisle where a lot of things had yellow spots and discoloration. We come to places like these because mostly every kind of sheet is usually a poly-microfiber blend now that makes you sweat uncomfortably. I know they get what they get when they get it but very poor plus-size selection at least during my recent visit - they don't have anything above 1X it seems, and sizing is sorted weirdly and literally all over the place. And for what it's worth, even poorer alt/goth/all-black selection in general *regardless* of whether or not you're a bigger person with weird proportions read more

This is one of my favorite Savers locations. We've reliably found a good assortment of kitchen items here especially old school cocktail glasses as well as specialty drink glasses like martini glasses and margarita glasses. They have some cool retro stuff too if you're into that and the selection of cookbooks is usually very good. Clothes can be more hit or miss but I got some great skirts and scarves here recently. Awesome deal on two winter scarves - only like $2 each- granted they are going into storage for a few months since it's August but amazing deal! I also found some nice ramekins and bakeware here at various times. I love that there's a Marshall's next door so you can also check there and there's a Dollar Tree in the same complex too. read more

First off, I used to love this store and visited weekly until 2020. Once they reopened I avoided it and eventually just never went back. Decided to stop in yesterday since I loved browsing in there. Walk in and the lobby area is a mess. Get inside, I'm trying to grab a carriage and an employee gets in my way like 3 times. Very rude. They were never friendly before but she was rude. Finally managed to get a cart that's not sticky or full of trash and browse. Good selection of knickknacks and cooking and baking stuff. Lots of books. Found the hair straightened I've been wanting for $5 so I'm happy. Continue browsing and now I'm looking for an electrical outlet cause I'm not buying this thing unless it works. Use the bathroom. Filthy as always but there's an outlet. Grabbed the hair thing from my cart and plug it in. It works. Coming out of the bathroom a different employee gives me a look. Listen if you guys had a few electrical outlets people wouldn't have to try stuff in the bathroom and returns are credit only. Checked out the clothes. Unpleasantly surprised. Very few brand name items. Found a pair of yoga pants I liked. 12.99 same brand on sale at Macys 2 for 25 and they're new. Everything overpriced. Went up front to see designer bags. There were 4. Browsed eye jewelry. Was there a good 5 minutes. No employee came over. All self checkout now, that's fine. But 4 employees standing around and not one could come over and ask if I wanted to see anything?! There was one thing I kind of wanted to see but wasn't worth the effort. Paid for my item and left. Gotta buy a bag now too. Very disappointed in this savers and doubt I'll go back. May try another location but yesterday was so disappointing and the rude employees made it worse read more

Today I had an employee swear at myself, and my child, because we mistakenly tried on clothing in the restroom. (As many other people were, and the employees were milling about the area, so we thought it wasn't enforced. Again, our mistake, admittedly.) I admitted that was our error, but that we would not be leaving the restroom until my child was dressed. She followed us around the store, swearing at us and even called me a "dirty bitch," in front of her manager, who did nothing, as well as in front of other employees and customers. I called to complain just now, and was patronized by the manager who is currently on duty who continually called me "honey." It's just super disappointing because I do love this location, lots of good stuff, but this girl was trashy, psychotic, intimidating, threatening, aggressive...and the other staff watched, and I got no sense from my call this evening that anyone cared. Again, I was initially in the wrong, but the treatment thereafter was outrageous. read more

I mean... I love me some Savers and this one happens to be my favorite location. Parking is plentiful, the donation drop off is around back and makes it very easy to unload your donations, the staff back there is so friendly and the last time I went, the guy thanked us for our donation (a full car load from moving) and shared with us how our donation will help others. I love wandering the isles, full of everything you could need for your home. Great inventory, awesome vintage finds and reasonable prices (sometimes you pick up an item and wonder who the hell is pricing things cuz the pricing can be all over the place depending on the item.) I love vintage glassware and kitchenware and they always seem to have a great selection. It's never packed in there and I almost always leave with a fun find or two (that just ends up back there in a few months lol.) I wish I still lived close to this one as I would go a couple times a week just to take a look, but now that its a bit of a hike, It will make each visit and each find that much more special. read more

Thrift store heaven!!! Recently having moved to what seems to be a larger location, this Savers store displays racks and racks of anything and everything imaginable. Short sleeve shirts, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, blouses, blazers, athletic wear, jeans, pants, capris, shorts, undergarments, sleepwear, jackets, coats, shoes, dresses for all occasions, etc! And thats just the women's department! Women's, Men's, Kids, Furniture, Books/Cd's/Dvd's, Households, Shoes, Bags, Toys to name a few of the areas found in this store. Most clothing items are under $10. I've never gone into the store and not bought something! Great for creating halloween costumes, stocking up on pants and shorts for the new season, finding a shirt for an upcoming holiday, the list goes on. Made a Padme Amidala from Star Wars and Alice from Resident Evil costumes for Halloween from clothes soley bought at Savers! I was given a "Super Savers Pass" today entitling you to 30% off once 15 stamps are collected ($5 spent per stamp or a donation of clothing). Not a bad deal! Oh Savers. . . what deals/find will I discover on my next visit?!?! read more

Savers - Exterior w. tree :) - Thrift Stores Near Me - East Providence, Rhode Island

Excellent shop. Decided to start buying more thrift items. Was in there this week. Every staff person I interacted with was working hard, stopped to help me and was professional, knowledgeable and kind. Generally, one doesn't expect that level of professionalism in a thrift store. I was very impressed. Thank you, Savers! Well done! read more

Great place to shop for gently used home items. Always something new to look at. This store is well organized and clean. I came here looking for a gold pair of shoes for a Halloween costume and found exactly what I needed! I also bought a winter rain coat for under $20 bucks! Bargains to be had if you don't mind digging around! read more

I used to love this store so much. But ever since Covid they do not have dressing rooms and they only do exchanges which is a bummer. Also you only have 2 weeks to do an exchange which is not enough time if your busy or for inventory turn over. I still shop here occasionally but I don't spend nearly as much money as I used to due to the new policy. They should allow 30 days like every other business. They should also allow returns. Or at least bring back the dressing rooms since Covid is not as big a concern as it was two years ago. read more

This is a great Savers in RI! Open and wide isles & very organized making it easy to shop!

Good deeds good deals maybe Savers is a huge company with over 315 stores in 3 different countries. In the north west part of this country they are called Value Village but they're the same thing. Savers was founded in 1954 and has a simple business plan. It takes items from non profit organizations and then pays them a bulk rate for the stuff and resells them for it's own profit. The non sellable stuff gets recycled. Everyone makes out pretty well. This particular Savers is one of the largest and nicest that I've been in. And since it's so huge the store is filled with all sorts of stuff. Like most Savers you can find heaps of second hand clothes, books, toys, furniture, old electronic crap, kitchen stuff, jewelry, and weird stuff that is difficult imagining anybody actually buying. The prices vary a whole lot from item to item but overall the prices are good and if you dig around you can find some real bargains. Some of the stuff is crap but other things are pretty decent. Savers seemed to be quite successful until 2015 when the attorney General of Minn filed suit against the company saying it was being deceptive to the public and very little money was actually going to the non profit companies that Savers gets it's stuff from. Not sure how this suit will end up but it certainly makes Savers seem less altruistic than it likes people to believe. Reguardless of how the suit will resolve, Savers remains a good place for people that like to dig around a find a bargain. And just maybe, if you get really lucky, find something they will treasure. read more

Ever since the pandemic, they closed the dressing rooms. So now you can't try things on, and you also for some reason, you cannot even return things. You can only exchange for store credit. Makes it impossible to try a variety of sizes or styles at home if you're not sure what's going to fit because regardless of whether anything works for you, you have to spend the money anyway! Defeats the point of budget shopping. I have basically dropped Savers from my routine at this point. Such a weird way to promote heath and safety -- i don't think dressing rooms and return policies were the issue with the pandemic. read more

SHORT: Spent $100 and bought 20+ really tasteful and clean looking stuff from blazer jackets to nice dress shirts! Don't come here for shoes. But, for anything else, don't even think about going anywhere else if you're looking to buy second hand clothing. Got a nice light blue Ralph Lauren shirt for $3.99, a Brooks Brothers blazer for $4.99 and nice Madras short for $2.99... LONG: Ever since I graduated (in other words no more dolares de los parentos) I became that bargain hunting, penny saving grandma; looking forward to saving 5 cents each when I use my grocery bags; occasionally taking the bus instead of driving; going to the sale section at TJ Maxx etc. However, here was my dilemma: how could I save money and not look like a Salvation Army employee ? Well, my colleagues told me about a magical place called "Savers" where one can buy a classy Brooks Brothers navy blue jacket for... $4.99 or a nice madras short for $2.99!! I know you're like "Oh shut up! That ain't true buddy!", but it fortunately is my fellow Yelpers... I bought those two, 3 more jackets, 10 other nice dress shirts, 3 khakis shorts and a GAP sweater for under $100... That is twenty plus tasteful clothing for under hundred bucks! WELL, here is where the five star comes: Not only I was overjoyed at the register with the price I paid for all those awesome stuff, the cashier told me about a rewards card (they basically stamp a circle each time you spend more than $5!) and she told me I would be able to save 30% Off!! Like I needed more to be their loyal customer! Man, this place is awe-some! I really cannot praise it enough! You won't be disappointed if you keep in mind that this is still a thrift store. read more

Anyone who doesn't shop at Saver is crazy. There are so many high quality items here. Think of it as a new age antique store. I have gotten so many CLEAN and GOOD CONDITION items here I cannot count. I'm talking new with tags, Levi capri's $6.00 Bakeware for $3.00 All books are used but under $2.99 You really just have to look. read more

When I moved to Providence from California, I thought I died and went to thrift store heaven. I know it isn't a common view of the afterlife, but I would probably be pretty happy to spend eternity perusing the racks at any of New England's fine Savers Department Stores. I take that back, actually. I wouldn't want to be stuck in the Worchester location; there's never anything good at that one. When I lived in California, "thrifting" was a losing battle. Often I'd spend hours on end rummaging through stained dresses, only to come up empty handed and smelling of dirty laundry. I know the concept is that you wade through rubbish until you find that one true gem, but I always found it disheartening in the Bay. In New England, it's another story. Going thrifting here, I always need a carriage to fill up with prime vintage goods to try on in the fitting rooms. In California, the attendants pester you the second they notice you've got more items than the limit. In New England, you can waltz into a dressing room with twenty 1970s secretary dresses and no one bats an eye. I took a friend from San Francisco to the EP Savers and she ended up spending $76.00. She walked away with 3 pairs of shoes, 4 dresses, 2 blouses and 2 pairs of pants. Try getting away with that at Target! read more

Used to come here all the time because they had such good deals. Wow have we changed. Browsing through the racks I came across a gap shirt with the tags still on it. $34.99 on the gap tag and $29.99 on the savers tag! Are you kidding me?! The shirt was probably from 3 seasons ago and now smelt like basement, the oh so glorious smell of savers. ::gag:: I went looking for some kids jeans for my kid, some had holes others were worn badly on bottoms and they were charging $7.99 per pair. Honestly you could get a better deal at Sears on a sale. Savers used to be a fave, now it angers me to see how bad they attempt to rip people off. read more

The kind of shopping you need to not just roll up your sleeves for... but purposely not shower beforehand, and be prepared to leave with your hands feeling like you've been digging in a backyard and smelling like must and metal hangers. It's a dig. And sometimes, you'll get a find. Their sales are awesome, especially when you get to fill up a whole bag. This is a bargain hunter's paradise, but you have to be devoted and you had better not be clean, because you will feel leaving filthy even if you've scored 15 items of clothing for $10. I once found a pair of pseudo-Frye boots in the East Greenwich location. This was about 8 years ago. They were $10. I wear them weekly. I have received many, many compliments over the years. Yeah, Savers! read more

i bought 3 t shirts. i wanted to try them on first but your fitting rooms are closed due to COVID. not sure why because only one person can be in a fitting room but 3 can be in a restroom but anyway i was not allowed to try them on in the store. so i tried them on at home. they did not fit so i had to go back to the store today what a hassle i get there only to be told you dont do returns only exchanges. you cant have it both ways you need to allow shoppers to try clothes on IN STORE or allow refunds. i will NOT shop at your stores anymore i just left the shirts at the store and walked out. read more

Under the glare of fluorescent lights, racks bulge with colorful textile wonders cast off from decades past, awaiting new, appreciative homes. It is rare that I do not leave with a giant gunny sack of goodies - electric blue blouses, fancy floral dresses, paisley scarves, soft suede shoes - all for less than 20 bucks. Sure, you'll have to pick through some ratty t-shirts, moth-eaten sweaters, and endless racks of mom jeans, but believe me, it's worth it. My most recent find: a cobalt coat made in "Jugoslavia" with matching leather kid gloves stashed secretly in the pocket. read more

Worst savers in the state in my opinion. Ridiculously overpriced for all around filthy merchandise. Store itself is clean but that's the only thing. Save yourself some money and go next door to Marshall's, you'll get brand new stuff for the same prices as this location. read more

Want to look like one hot mama and not spend a fortune? Going thrifting at Saver is quite an experience. They have some really awesome finds if you are willing to do some digging and are ok with clothes that are previously worn by a stranger. Whether it's for Halloween or a wedding, I've found some pretty great duds, and most run under 10$!. I'm pretty sure a dress I recently bought for a wedding was close to 100$ new and I paid 10$. Not bad, I say. Another great thing about Savers is that you can get some great people watching in. Think 'people of Walmart.com'. That good. They also have jewelry, shoes, household items, and more for sale. I also take my old unwanted items and drop them off at the donation center. It's fast and easy. So, as skeptical as I was previously for shopping for clothes at Savers, I now agree that thrifting is fun and well, cheap. Can't go wrong with that. read more

This Savers location is bigger and cleaner than the Branch Ave. one. In fact, it's one of the cleanest, largest, and most organized thrift stores I've ever been in! The store is giant, so you're bound to find something you "need" here, whether it be a piece of furniture, a board game, a formal dress, a jacket, a book, or any one of the many trinkets they sell in separate plastic bags. They also have a sizable Halloween section in the fall, so it's a good one stop shop for a cobbling your costume together. Savers seems to price its items more carefully than other thrift stores: some items can be upwards of $50 if they're designer/high demand/whatever. I also wish they had more mirrors, since the few they do have are so dingy you can barely see anything in them. read more

Ok, so this store is not as magical as the Savers on Branch Avenue, but I am still a fan of this place. It has a huge jean section, much like the Savers in Warwick. The dress selection is not as high end like the one on Branch, but I did find some neat items. The store really clean like the other locations. That is one of the main reasons I like to shop at these thift stores. Plus, this store is crazy organized, which is nice. read more

I think this Savers is very well-organized by size and color. I'm a new transplant to RI and a virgin to the world of Savers. Compared to Goodwill, I think Savers may be cleaner and more well-organized, but I always found the most amazing clothing at Goodwill, especially the huge, headquarters one in Boston :) On a routine trip to Stop & Shop, I stopped by this Savers. Most of the items seemed too old school like items you'd wear to an "ugly Christmas sweater" party. However, I did come away with a Betsey Johnson trench coat (missing a button and the belt) and a cashmere Barney's hoodie. Otherwise, I'm sticking to thrift shops in Boston. I found items fairly over-priced compared to Goodwill, too. At Savers, "name brand" items are priced higher when a shirt should just be priced a shirt. read more

This Savers is like any other. They have some great deals but it's mostly (to me) stuff I don't need. Once in a while I'll come across something worth buying. I guess that's the charm of a thrift store. The employee's are a bit rude but you will get your bang for your buck. read more

This is where I go to get 99% of the clothes I own. They carry great quality clothes in the brand names and that most people couldn't normally afford in a retail store. I recommend this store to most people I speak to almost everyone I hear of that's looking for good clothes at a good price and then when They have specials with certain color stickers that are 50% off the price of that color that is even more of a deal. read more

This was my first ever Savers and therefore my favorite. I found some many fantastic things while living in providence here. They have some of the funkiest home decorating stuff. If you are patient you can find some amazing clothes, but it requires a lot of digging and trying on of things. There 50% off holiday days are not to be missed. I bought a couch for 15 dollars here on labor day a few years back. It was gold crushed velvet. LOVE. read more

Pretty cool place! Large floor space. Everything's organized. And, more importantly, everything is dirt cheap. Very cool consignment shop. The staff are friendly and put up with a lot of weird characters who waltz in. read more

Do not be fooled by the vast size of this thrift store. Many racks are only 1/3 filled with worn out, "brand name" finds. I mean, I guess if you want something from Cold Water Creek 5 seasons ago, this is your place, but if you are looking to score some unique vintage pieces, steer clear. There were a couple of interesting dish sets in the housewares department, but the books warranted the 2 star rating. Although a bit over-priced at $2.99 ea, the deal is buy 4, get the 5th one free. The collection is organized by genre but make sure you look through everything because a lot of titles have been put into incorrect catergories. Also they allow exchanges! This the first thrift chain I've ever come across, at which all sales are not final. Check this Savers out if you need a good book, not a new look. read more

This location is large and well organized. It smells like a dirty basement which is expected of most thrift shops. It's hit or miss. Kids clothes are overpriced. You can buy new stuff at The Childrens Place on sale for less than some brand named clothing. They have a big selection of kids books but some were so dirty that I would never buy them. I typically buy summer clothes in good condition and vintage costume jewlery. My son has found some action figures in good condition reasonably priced. Once in awhile you can find a nice frame or vase at low cost. But I prefer home goods clearance section, prices are comparable. There's a ton of parking. read more

I always find what I am looking for I am constantly doing diy projects and they are the best places to find treasures. I love it.
