I’ve been coming to 129 Savage J for years, spending hundreds of dollars without any issues—until now. I went to buy a tree for over $150, paid with no problem, and everything was fine. But when I went back to make a $50 purchase, this older lady (who I’m guessing is the owner) had the audacity to demand my ID, claiming my debit card didn’t match. Are you serious? My wife and I share a joint debit account—why the hell would I need to prove anything? Her attitude was beyond rude—absolutely disgusting. She treated me like a criminal over a $50 purchase. This is not how you treat loyal customers who have been supporting your business for years. And to top it off, there’s no posted policy anywhere about needing ID, so how are people supposed to know about this ridiculous rule? This was a humiliating, infuriating experience. I don’t trust them with my information, and I’ll make sure everyone knows how poorly they treat their customers. I will be writing more reviews and posting updates. Stay away from this place—save yourself the frustration.

Great place to buy the thing you want but can't afford at full price. They are always rotating items, and their hard work pays off immensely. Very clean place. I always love that they start trickling seasonal things before the season begins so I can get ahead of the crowds. They were very nice to hold my items when I had an emergency and had to vamoose. My items were still there when I got back, so I ended up buying even more! Kind people, great workers, hard-working people who treat you like an old friend. You'll feel right at home in 129 salvage. The two young ones who somehow loaded a 7.5ft tree in my tiny sedan are true pros! I still don't know how they did it.

My FAVORITE place to shop when I come home to visit my parents. My family has been enjoying 129 Salvage for MANY years. The owner is a wonderful, generous person who has done a lot for the community. The store is always organized and tidy, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I specifically recommend 129 to families who are struggling to make ends meet right now due to inflation. I'm able to buy many grocery and household items I wouldn't normally purchase because of the price. There's no telling what kind of bargain you might find at 129, but it's ALWAYS worth the trip!

Has some good deals. Found some bird seed. They say it gets new items weekly. So you never know what you will come across. Plenty of cleaning supplies. Grills, cereal, drinks, tools, clothes, diapers etc. Lot of stuff cheaper than a dollar store. The cashier, Katie, was very kind. But, I do know her😆. So I just thought I'd mention her.

It’s always an adventure to go here. You never know what you’ll find. I don’t go very often, but when I do, I usually get a cart full of things (some that I didn’t even know I needed). I always find bargains on cleaning products, cosmetics and food. They have good prices on cases of energy drinks and unusual items (cheap sample sizes give me a chance to try new products). The selection of goods is incredible, but you should grab it when you see it, otherwise it may be gone when you return. Stock is constantly changing and being replaced. They have a little bit of everything in household goods, tools, pet supplies and gardening. From light fixtures and faucets, even paint, to car parts, fans and lawnmowers, you’ll surely find a bargain on something useful.

Great place for snacks for lunches. Customer Service is usually good. There is one person who spends too much time chatting with customers while ringing them up, and needs to be more attentive of those waiting in line.

One of my favorite places to pop in on a Saturday after payday. Beware, you might blow your whole paycheck! I've been shopping here since I was a kid. Like 30 years ago I saved my birthday money and bought a pair of roller skates from here. Now I'm buying discounted pull-ups, stuff to stock my first-aid cabinet, fishing lures, and snacks for my kids. My, how times have changed! 🤣

I love this store. I find great deals on lots of things. From batteries to makeup to animal needs..lawn furniture , shoes , jewelry, tools, kitchen wares. Gotta check it out! Its also pretty well organized and prices on everything to be this type of store which could be in caos. The staff is doing well keeping maintained while so many people are in and out.

This place is no longer a local secret. It has been very busy, especially on Saturdays (closed Sundays). Seems to me that the best time to go is when it first opens. UPDATE: They have rearranged and organized the inside. It's definitely an improvement! Don't miss out on the great buys!

I’ve enjoyed shopping here the last few years but lately I’ve been disappointed in the staff especially when checking out. There’s one girl that always friendly & that’s it (wish I knew her name)! Today I was overcharged $17 and when I questioned the price she said the $20-original priced snow pants were $19.99-NO! They were $3.99. Watch and check your receipt! I’ve thought several times I was overcharged and today I knew I was as I only bought a few items so there was no way. Not sure what’s happened to this place/staff but I hope it changes.

Mostly good prices. Have to take your time and look. Could be a bit cleaner. Looks a little junky, but if you're getting clearance prices on bulk leftovers then can't complain

Have a blast looking for deals. Never know what they will have when I stop by. 4/30/2024 Update: The owner has really cleaned up and organized the store with new shelving. Looks great! And still great deals!
