Update - 9/25 - 25% still on Wednesdays. BUT not on furniture necessarily - furniture discounts will vary by day. check website. I think new furniture - not on sake on Wednesdays. Superb Salvation Army. I travel the US. All of these stores have different sale days and amounts. Not universal (comment for the woman angry it wasn’t 50% - note signs clearly state 25%) I shop twice a month. Staff is amazing - kind - helpful - Wednesdays the place is typically packed so expect a little bit of a busy atmosphere. They are open late - fun to wind down a day to just look. Prices have creeped up but I have to accept that. Do NOT argue prices or switch tags. Just don’t. I’ve found outstanding - I mean outstanding - furniture and housewares. They seem to get truckloads of stuff so good stuff comes in and out fast. Still - takes a good eye.
Love the back room with all the home items. Some of the prices are high. Really need to hunt for the bargins. The clothes are arranged by type and color which makes it hard to find the size you are looking for. You would need to spend all day searching.
When I first arrived there were loads of clothing, and loads of people. The lines were long and the prices were high. Until I found out that It was half off on everything. It was a holiday and the only reason I shopped was because there It was half off otherwise I would have walked out. I have been to many salvation army's, but I have never seen the pricing this high before, it was baffling. They do have lots of name brand, but a lot of the clothing is torn, stained, or old. Yet, it is still priced high. It's unfortunate, and they could seriously consider repricing to bring in more sales. This is not helpful for those in need nor those shopping.
I'd give it zero stars if I could I had a scheduled pickup date for items. They came to view it and said we will see what happens. Never called back had to call them to schedule a date to pick up. The day of the pickup date they called me 6 am for some odd reason to confirm the date for pickup when they should have called the day before. When they finally arrived the same driver from the first time told me he could not take the items, he was now telling me it was not In an accessible space. Also saying last time he told me that I needed to move items and make room which he did not say. It's funny because he said he told the person from the viewing this and I was the same person the first time and he told me no such thing. Don't waste your time with them its a good cause but only if good people are working there very disappointing.
Shoes 13-20$ mostly! same as ross but used.(can find more expensive and cheaper) Kids 2-8$ but mainly 3-5 per item walmart 2-10 but new ross 2-15 depending on brand and sets. You can find more expensive at the store but you get new for cheep! Dresses/skirts I believe the skits are a good price usually 6.99 and dresses usually 8-15 you can get new for a few more dollars but you are saving more here! Shirts are from 2.99 to 6.99 woman and men but men are usually cheaper! Accessories I've seen some items that are more expensive then brand new so I believe it would be very difficult to buy with a good price! FURNITURE! This I don't recommend if your looking to save they have some nice pieces but I would say they cost a couple hundred but used. I've shopped here for years because I send clothing to my country, and because it's more economic then to buy new, but I think I'll be shopping at store with new item if the prices almost have no difference! This is a post for people who need cheaper options kids grow fast and clothes get worn out somtimes it's hard to feed everyone, pay rent, and get them clothes constantly. But if you just like to buy the clothing to find fashionable items I think you can find some cool things!
