I love Saver’s! Monday’s are my favorite day to go, because it is $0.99 colored tag day. They pick a tag color and any item with that colored tag is $0.99. I scored 3 skirts for $3 for myself there a few weeks ago. You can’t do much better than that!
This Monday is one of Saver’s big 50% off day. Everything EXCEPT toys, housewares, books & videos are 50%. This means clothes galore, bedding, towels, bags, purses, and shoes are ALL 50% off. WHOO-HOO! I am hoping to make it there early Monday morning to score myself a new purse ($2 purse…I think I will…) and hopefully get Alaina a pair of shoes. She just had this outrageous foot spurt and pretty much jumped from a size 4 to size 6! (and I had these cute little Dora shoes in size 5 that I had bought her that only got worn once *SIGH*--well good thing I only paid $1.50 for those at Saver’s! Ha! No big loss!)
So a couple of things on how Saver’s works. Starting on Tuesdays, Saver’s picks a colored tag and makes that item 50% off. Then on the following Monday that colored tag is $0.99. If it is a popular item (i.e. kids clothes) you will have a hard time finding good $0.99 sales—HOWEVER—I do tend to find some good ones from time to time. I have found the $0.99 sales to be better for housewares and older kid/adult clothing. I save my kid clothing shopping days for the 50% off everything days!
My favorite Saver’s sale is President’s Day. (You know..the blahness of winter---February!) That day is 50% off EVERYTHING! I get there early and usually score big!
Saver’s has also recently adopted a “manager’s special Thursday”. This means they post an extra deal. This past Thursday it was “buy a pair of shorts, get one free.” They do not post the deals ahead, so you won’t know what goodie they might have until you get there.
If you are interested in saving additional money at Saver’s, you can start a card with them. For every $5 you spend or bag of stuff you donate you will get a punch. Once the card is full, it turns into a 30% off your next purchase coupon. I have never spent enough money to fill a card (you have to fill it in a certain time frame)—however, I have used my garage sale leftovers to fill a card. All donations are tax deductable (be sure to ask for a form) and go towards Easter Seals. So you get a little added bonus!
I love second hand stores. It keeps things out of the landfill, and is a little lighter on my pocketbook! Plus, they are so much fun to browse through—you never know what you will find. What is your favorite score at a thrift store?
