Aberdeen Goodwill

I have found a few bargains here as far as furniture. Stuff you can repurpose. The Christmas stuff is AWESOME. I bought over half of my Christmas décor stuff here. Mind you, I will spray paint anything… some of it is dated, but if you are handy with paint and stuff, you can find some fun stuff.

I usually donate here, but don’t shop here. I had an hour to kill so I decided to check it out. I was impressed! The best looking Goodwill I have ever seen. I tried on a couple pairs of jeans, couldn’t find one to fit, oh well, but I have decided no more shopping for jeans at high end stores, I’m coming to Goodwill for jeans!
They had a very nice book section, almost as good as the famous «you know who they are» book stores. The DVD section was a little weak. Didn’t see any DVD’s I’d want to buy even though I donated four yesterday.
On the other hand, if you need cheap dishes for your RV, good place to buy cheap dishes and pots and pans, and even wine glasses.
Plenty of room to park an RV! Although it’s easier if you are going East on US Highway 12 as opposed to West, because it can be a busy street and if you are going West, you have to turn left to get into the parking lot. Little dicey to turn left.

This is probably going to be the only time I visit this location but it left a fantastic impression!
Coming back from Seabrook, we knew we had to stop by this Goodwill. Sometimes Goodwills that are outside of large cities don’t have the greatest stuff, but this one had the important stuff I look for: vintage kitchen stuffs.
I found a vintage West Bend penguin hot/​cold server for $ 8. A vintage milk glass bowl with interesting shape and design for $ 8 (I haven’t taken a better look to determine what the brand is). A cast iron skillet for $ 14 (finding cast iron anything in GW is rare), and a vintage drink carrier complete with 8 glasses also for $ 8 (in antique stores, these complete sets tend to go for $ 30+).
You need a key or employee to get into the restroom which is semi-​annoying but they were ever so nice. The cashier was also nice and handled the growing line of customers for a good while before calling for backup.
I had a little difficulty finding the dress section but since I already found so many good things, I was ok with leaving on a high note.

Visiting from Lacey and needed to stop on our way home from Ocean Shores. An avid thrift shopper myself, I had to check it out! It’s HUGE! Lots of inventory, the racks were tight with selections. I found a bunch of good deals and was tickled pink. Good customer service, quick at the changing room and register. A must see place if you’re a thrifty shopper in Aberdeen!

I have found some great finds here! It’s pretty tidy inside. The cashiers have always been delightful. Good addition to Aberdeen.

This GW wasn’t in Aberdeen the last time I drove through. Good think I stopped at Top Food & Drug and saw it across the way in the parking lot. I went on a weekend so they had double color tags (50% one and $ 1.29 for the other color). I agree that some of the same was a little empty, like in furniture and the selection was a little wierd in the artwork section as well as toys and furniture. But I was really surprised at their men’s selection. There were so many shorts and jeans in my size AND this GW knows how to move merchandise with those prices. There wasn’t hardly anything that I bought that was over $ 6 and mind you I got some ½ off and $ 1.29 stuff too. Well, I lie… I bought a very nice quality juicer for $ 8.99. I mean… come on…$ 9 for a almost brand new juicer!!! The staff was friendly and there seemed to be an abundance of staff putting out a lot of new stuff. Again, I found the prices really really reasonable prices and good selection for what I was looking for.

Goodwill needs to bring more stuff down from their other collection points. The offerings at this new store are weird. Not your typical Goodwill stuff. The space seems a little empty.
I’m sure they’ll get it sometime soon, but right now it’s a rough start.

A brand new Goodwill, opened in June 2012. Big, clean, and spacious!
The only downside is that it’s so new that there aren’t a lot of great deals or markdowns. There were no half-​off discounts for a certain color tag, and no grand opening specials. A lot of the merchandise seems to be clearance stock from Target and other stores, so there’s not as much of the vintage and quirky, though I’m sure this will change as donations come in and the stock turns over.
If you’re in Aberdeen, you should go. What else are you going to do there?
