Goodwill South Lacey

It’s a goodwill, can’t expect anything new here.
Always good deals, hard to find items sometimes. Not very much staffing is a negative for me.
The store doesn’t seem to get much in the way of donations. It always seems like it has a smaller inventory then say the south hill and spanaway branches.

THIS is a horrible store… the products are usually nasty looking… smeared with fecal matter or something. why cant they clean the item before putting it in the shelf? charge for bags, high ass taxes and have the audacity to ask for a donation… would rather throw the money away than donate here… MOST of the ltems are OVER PRICED! This is not Nordstom! a broken, stained, raggedy shelf for 29.00?

As secondhand and thrift shopping goes, this is definitely one of the premium spots. The people who donate here must be quite affluent because we continually find high-​end brand name stuff in practically new condition here!
We recently decided to change up our furniture and found a vintage leather chair and a beautiful microfiber couch here. I’ve also seen brand name mountain bikes that would sell at a used bike shop for ten times the asking price here at goodwill. Pretty much a thrift shopper’s dream, although i hope it stays a guarded secret so that we can continue lucking out!

Clean and organized thrift store with helpful staff. There’s a lot more women’s than men’s clothes though so not much selections for me. At this particular trip though, I happen to run into a $ 7.99 pants (Goodwill price) that I got for only $ 1.40 taxes included, because of their pink-​tag, $ 1.29 special for the day so I’m a happy shopper. :)
I will be back if I’m in the neighborhood but would prefer to go to the one by Capitol Mall.

This goodwill has pretty good variety and is well staffed usually. Dressing rms are clean and everything is marked well. My only beef is the cashiers sometimes give me a hard time when using a coupon etc. when I generally have no trouble at all at other locations.

I frequent this Goodwill as its nearby, but its definitely hit or miss. Their items seems a little overpriced, and not carefully edited. I find more stuff with holes and stains than not. There is really only one friendly staff member, the rest are sullen, rude, and seem to ignore you. Sometimes its a hit, sometimes its a miss.

This Goodwill location has a pretty good variety, even though the store is not really big. One of the things I like to shop for is board games; they usually have a lot to choose from. Sometimes you can find older games or games that are hard to find. The furniture selection is fair, depending on the day you go. Some of it’s a little overpriced, though. One of the things I like about this Goodwill location is the drive-​up donation which allows you to drop off your donations without even getting out of your car. It can’t be much more convenient than that! The attendants at the drop-​off site are prompt and courteous, so the experience is usually a pleasant one. If you’re looking for a decent thrift store, give this location a try.

This GW is a nice size, not really busy, has a good variety, friendly staff, and lotsa books/​videos. I got my hopes up the 1^st time I went because I was able to find a lot of men’s jeans in my size which usually is a big deal because the men’s selections at most thrift stores are mostly slim pickins. So I stocked up. The last few times I’ve went, I haven’t been able to find any men’s clothes worth the money. The pants and polos usually look so picked over now that I give up before I get to the end of one aisle since it’s like you touch one hanger and 6 pairs of pants fall on the floor. Maybe I need to learn to be patient with the hunt for good finds and hidden treasure, but this GW doesn’t make it easy. What is easy is the search for movies (which is normally what I go for). The dvd/​vhs are right in the front next to the books and usually I find a couple of videos I don’t have so it’s not all a lost cause. This GW does have nice staff though.

This Goodwilil is pretty large, but deceptively small inside. They have a separate drive thru donation drop off which took no time at all with two friendly employees. Inside, the stock was a bit disappointing. Very small housewares section with most of the floor for clothes. They also had a number of new items (basics, like socks and belts). I like the gamble of random stuff. Some days you got it and some days you don’t. This was one of those days.
