Savers: NOT the kind of thrift store you want to be seen shopping at!
Thursday, February 02, 2006
The Savers in Littleton is the kind of thrift store you have nightmares about. I’ve been in there twice: once when my mom and I were just in the area, and once when we were searching for furniture for my new place. The first time the place smelled so bad that I could have sworn someone donated a dead animal, and the second time – when I wasn’t chased out immediately by the smell – I was appalled at the poor quality of the things they had. Their furniture in particular was ratty and looked as though it had been around quite a bit. The atmosphere of Savers is also not one that appeals to me, as it seems so cold and sterile (except for the odor problem).
