Goodwill

Stop by here when we are in Santa Cruz. The prices are okay. The store is always getting new things. Not a bad thrift store.

My husband and I stopped by here while visiting in paso today. We found the variety of everything to be very limiting. We didn’t look at the clothes because they all look old and not interesting, but we did look at the kitchen stuff at the back of the store. Maybe we came on a day when there weren’t that many arrivals, but there wasn’t much of anything interesting.

Smaller store, but very clean and organized! Mostly consists of clothing which is organized by color/​size. Found the housewares selection to be slightly lacking but not horrible. Pretty decent amount of books; picked up some paperbacks in nice shape at about $ 1 each.
Small parking lot next to the store but plenty of parking around the area. Favorite thrift store in Paso!

This is a great thrift store! Very organized and clean, items even organized by size. Big selection of clothes, as well as shoes, books furniture, kitchen ware. Friendly staff… I always find something to love at this store!

I think there best assets are there clothes. O usually go there for vintage and costumes

I was completely impressed by the quality, variety and prices of clothing. An extensive collection of books and movies blew me away right along with the three long racks of shoes. I almost died when I saw that it was color coded and even put in order of sizes (although a few were placed about but I doubt that was at the hands of the employees).
The stores were swept clean, everything looked brand new and the customer service was friendly and quick.
Overall it was a very nice shopping experience.

good service, good pricing, good selection

Lots of inventory. Nice clothes.

I recently visited this Goodwill with a visit to co-​incide with the Great Western Bike Rally. Boy, have the prices jumped on all their items!
I was a bit shocked and surprised, and put a number of items BACK out of my basket, due to the cost. A pair of colorful running shoes (used) for $ 20?
I give Goodwill credit for putting marganialized people to work and training those who can’t find job. And I also realize that minimem wages and healthcare put a cramp on EVERY business.
I guess the ‘good old day’s of cheap thift stores is gone with the invention of Ebay. Still there are ‘bargains’ to be had… but with a new Dollar store down the way, I thought twice about some of the overpriced items here and didn’t purchase them.

I went into this Goodwill recently and overall thought this thrift shop was okay. There are some bargains The selection is great here. However, the prices on the shoes and much of the jewelry is overpriced. I almost bought two crystal bracelets there for $ 5.25 a piece but then I reminded myself that I could buy similar bracelets at Micheal’s Craft store for $ 4 and at Beverly’s Fabrics for $ 3! Even the clerk agreed with me that the two bracelets were overpriced.
Also, the shoes are overpriced. I bought a pair of shoes for $ 15. I would normally not pay that price for a pair of used shoes but they were a good brand and they looked almost new. The sneakers at this Goodwill cost even more!
I like that most of the clothes are under a fixed price. For example, all men’s button down shirts are about $ 4. That is a good deal especially if you are aware of name brands.
Yes, the fact that there are some overpriced merchandise at this Goodwill is a major reason why I gave this thrift store 3 out of 5 stars but also during the time I was there, the jewelry cabinet that had their nicest selection of sterling jewelry was locked and some staff person lost the key. They were tempting their customers with merchandise that they could not purchase. It was so wrong. At least, they could have covered up the cabinet with a blanket so customers would not be able to see the jewelry therefore not feel so bad that none of the jewelry in that display could be purchased at the time. Seriously, this Goodwill needs to be better organized!
Pros:
–some bargains
–good deals on clothing as they are fixed prices
Cons:
–most items are overpriced esp. shoes and jewelry
— store needs to be better organized
–small thrift shop and difficult to find

Came to check out the Halloween costumes. They have quite a selection! Prices are ok, not so cheap but they have a lot of costumes and decorations! They also have camping stuff and tons of kitchen stuff and clothes of course. Not too much kids stuff which is what I usually go for mainly.
The store is a little cluttered but its pretty organized and while the staff isn’t friendly, they aren’t bad either. All in all, I would return!

This place isn’t bad. Just your typical goodwill store. They have the largest selection for kitchen supplies in comparison to other local goodwill’s.

This is without a doubt the best goodwill I’ve visited! The staff is always friendly and the store is very well kept. You never know what you’re going to find in the media departments: my wife and I have found countless DVDs CDs and video games, all in perfect condition. Definitely the best second-​hand store in Paso Robles.
