Salvation Army Costs & Pricing

The costs associated with housing through the Salvation Army present a notable contrast when compared to both Erie County and New York State averages. For instance, renting a studio unit through the Salvation Army is priced at $3,031, which is significantly lower than the county average of $4,223 and the state average of $4,532. However, for one-bedroom apartments, the Salvation Army's rate of $3,455 exceeds the Erie County cost of $2,855 while still being less than the state benchmark of $4,307. In terms of two-bedroom accommodations, at $4,295, the Salvation Army's pricing remains above county rates ($2,736) but is again more economical than what one might expect to pay statewide ($4,786). Overall, while some room types are more competitively priced in comparison to local and state averages, others reflect a higher cost structure that may warrant further investigation into services provided or demand factors influencing these prices.

Bargains and great prices

Shoppers consistently say they find good deals for a thrift store.

A recurring theme is that prices feel affordable and worth the trip, with multiple reviewers calling out bargains, great finds, and sales like percentage-off promotions. Some reviews compare value to other local thrift options, while others simply say they keep coming back for low-cost items and choice. There are also a few notes where people feel certain items cost more than expected, but the overall tone on value is positive.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Some pricing feels too high

A noticeable minority of reviews complain about overpricing.

Several reviewers describe items as overpriced or greedy, including specific comments about high prices for used goods. Others say the store can be more expensive than competing thrift options, and a few mention that prices were a little high for the category. There are also concerns about how items are priced and handled, which can sour the value even when the store is otherwise organized.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Friendly service, but rude complaints

Some residents report rude service or unhelpful interactions.

While many reviewers praise staff as friendly and helpful, other reviews are sharply critical of customer service. Complaints include people being treated rudely, staff refusing help with larger purchases, and an account of an arranged pickup not going as expected. These negative experiences appear alongside repeated praise for cleanliness and bargains, which makes the staff/service reviews feel inconsistent.
