Savers

I shop here regularly & I love it because it’s all second hand items, you can get some really unique items. Prices are decent too. Last week when I visited, a lady called Ruby was working the self-serve check outs & was absolutely amazing. She made an effort to speak to every person that came through the checkout & made sure everyone was getting signed up to receive email offers to ensure we can get notice of all the promotional offers! Truly great to see staff members that go out of their way to help customers so thank you Ruby!

Fantastic range of clothes in all sizes. Very well organised store. Clothes are sorted into racks of tops, pants, cardigans, sleepwear, etc. ordered into sizes. You will find something you want to buy here. They have lots of household goods as well but I didn’t really look at them. Only problem is there’s only a few change rooms & there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how many items you can take into the change room. Some people take in whole shopping trolleys of clothing !! So you can wait a very long time if you want to try anything on. Even mid week.

I am clearly pregnant and despite there being signs all around the store saying “for your convenience we have bathrooms” when asking to use the toilet today I was told by the young staff member that there aren’t any public bathrooms and to go “up the road” with no direction as to where. What’s the point or having signs about toilets if you don’t have any.

Please note this is not an op shop. I keep hearing people say it is. They’re a business, that accepts donations, on-sells them, then donates 10% of their ‘profits’ not their income, to diabetes Australia. In business, this donation to a not for profit organisation is a tax break. Most businesses do this. Genius business marketing idea for Savers really. But your prices can not always be justified in this case seeing not all proceeds are going to charity and you don’t have the overheads of stock purchases. Still a good place to spot a bargain at times, just know what you’re looking for and what it’s worth. Or alternatively, shop at a not-for-profit op shop. Low stars have been given due to: *unwashed clothing being sold without being checked for defects and priced accordingly *offering exchange of products only *staff often being rude to customers and complaining about being at work. (People who volunteer at op shops are much friendlier)
