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

We didn't find much at all. A good thrift store experience feels a little like a scavenger hunt. This one felt like a garage sale on the last day... of the second or third consecutive weekend! lol. We stopped because this place was recommended as fun... I'm sure they had a better experience than we did.

It's a little hard to find my size of pants because they just put it in medium, small and large. Instead of sizes. So I have to spend a lot of time searching for my size. Which is a little annoying. They have a very small selection of books which is why I gave 4 stars. They do seem to get a lot of brand new target items with the tag and they put very good prices on them. Lots of kids clothes, woman's and costumes brand new with tags and still low price. I would recommend this store for clothing and home decorating items and some furniture. The furniture I think is a little high on the price. Dented up dressers they wanted $50... I would price it more at like $15-$20. But I still recommend this store.

We are not going to support this community again until we get a satisfying response from somebody. here is the original review Verrrrry rude and racist. Manager of Saginaw Good Will; Ms. Sherry, refused to return this piece because I told her I picked it up for my kids and didn't pay attention it's a cross and we are muslims and can't have crosses at home. She got mad at me and treated me badly. She said it doesn't have any price tags, which I already bought it with none. It's on the receipt. I told her I can exchange it for anything or take points and she refused. I go there on weekly bases and spend hundred of dollars and donate. My family does the same. They lost us forever. Good luck, racists!

I got snow and winter clothes, snow suits, hats, gloves for a family of 4 for $90. They also have a discount program and for spending $90 I got $11 coupon I can use next time I go. I highly recommend this store especially for people interested in clothing. Lots of kids clothes!

Today was my first trip to this Salvation Army. The good point was that the store was really…read moreclean. I liked how they had color coded dish sets at the end caps. Unfortunately there was a lot wrong as well. I was told that this was one of the cheapest second hand stores to visit, however when visiting I really found the opposite. In fact, a lot of their prices were higher than Goodwill (which was mind blowing too me.) There were carts full of inventory sitting out which I felt was very disorganized. The prices were just uncomfortable high. So I went looking mainly for items that had the color sticker of the day. Also the toys were all up on top of clothing racks. I am 5'8 and had to stand on my tippy toes a bit to see the stuff up their. I can imagine this is done to keep kids from playing with them. However, this also feels like a bad situation for anyone who would fall under my height. What was really disappointing was that there VHS tapes were .99 cents. In this area (where most stores offer them at 10 cents each, it was steep) I did find a couple I liked and purchased. Had they been about half that price I would have probable helped clear their shelves a little better (or a lot). However, the worst part of this trip came when I found a Mixer, very pretty it had a sticker on it of 3.99. I plugged it in made sure it worked (which I think is a neat feature, most stores you are kind of taking a guess). When I got up to the register though the lady behind the counter discovered another sticker underneath(for 14.99). She called in someone else, and their tone was very accusing. I left the stores with tears in my eyes and will never return. I believe a class in how to handle people with Asperger's/Autism is needed at this store.
