Goodwill

As soon as I walked in I was given an unpleasant look by staff. I’m big on customer service and making people feel invited and comfortable so this turned me off right away.
The layout of the store is organized and for the most part clean. I didn’t find much especially not in clothing.
Over all I’m not a fan of this location and I’ve been here a few times hoping it would be different as far as staff and selection but I was disappointed.

This was my little secret when I was living in the area, but now that I’m not here anymore, I’m letting fellow Unilocalers/​thrifters know about this thrift shop. It was one of my go tos for nice clothing and for furnishing my apartment when I was in the area.
Although the proportion of high-end:random-stuff is lower than at the Goodwill in Westport, there are still plenty of great finds if you stop by periodically and have a keen eye — and for much cheaper than at the Westport location, too (sometimes as much as half price!). I’ve found a Coach purse here for $ 20, whereas the same Coach purse was $ 40 at Westport (yeah, there are a lot of Coach bags floating around secondhand shops in the Fairfield County).
Cleanliness-​wise, this Goodwill is about as clean as most of the Goodwills I’ve visited (not sparkling and pristine, but not grimy and gross either), and things are organized well enough that you can sift through clothing on racks and browse furniture without having to do much physical digging.
If you’re looking for nice/​interesting fashion and décor, need to furnish your place, or just enjoy the thrill of the hunt that is thrifting, add this store to your list.
