The Goodwill Store

Good prices and items. Magazines and books are in good conditions. Some things are broken and they want like $ 10 dollars for them. CDs are a little overpriced.

Good deals.

I love goodwill and other thrift stores just to walk through them and see what they have. It’s always like a treasure trove for me even if I don’t buy anything. I like the Portage one because it’s the cleanest in the area (it’s also the newest though I think) and because they occasionally get target overstock stuff somehow and I’ve scored some cool stuff that way. However the like the previous reviewer said they charge way to much for stuff. For basically being a huge garage sale their prices are really quite high. It is well organized though for a goodwill and not as crowded as most so it gets 3 stars.

I understand the whole idea of helping people, don’t let my profile fool you, and hell I’ve even donated alot of things to Goodwill, but their prices are waaaaaaay f***ing out of line. They would get rid of a lot more of that SHIT if they sold it for less and therefore help more people in the long run. I mean come on, a box of frickin plastic stick on bling for your car (who in their right mind that is old enough to drive a car would buy that shit anyways?) was $ 6.50. It is fun to walk through and laugh at goofy crap like that though. I think that’s why we go. It is also fun seeing what they are charging for the stuff you brought in a week before that wasn’t good enough to keep. We try to donate useful things, but some of the swag in there is rediculous. Maybe one day I’ll find that priceless painting like them lucky f***s on the Antiques Roadshow do… I think not.
