Goodwill

I overhead the staff talking about pricing products as close to what the retail price as they can get on a product. I found a pair of candle stick pillars priced at $ 20 a piece and they were chipped and not in good condition. I just don’t understand how they can make money for the nonprofit if everything is priced so high and not being purchased in the store. That’s probably why they have 30 bikes sitting outside that nobody can afford. I will never donate to this store!

I found lots of good deals here, but it’s more expensive than St. Vinnie’s.
My husband and I went in here and were looking for clothes. Of course, we had to wander the entire store, in case there was something we couldn’t live without.
I found a bowl that matches some I have at home and love. They’ve got handles and are perfect for microwaving soup in.
My husband found several nice pairs of shorts, both for everyday and work. Needless to say, he was pretty excited. He rarely finds clothes in these stores. It’s usually me. I found several pairs of Nike workout pants in my size, which is what I had been looking for. They were $ 1 – 2 more expensive than St. Vinnie’s, but still cheap and in great shape. They’ll serve me well.
All together, we spent around $ 45 here total. It’s not a store we go to often, and probably won’t go back to for a while. We just happened to be in the area and decided to stop in.

They do a good job keeping things in order here. Everything is sorted by size, which is very useful! The staff were friendly and helpful.

I would have rated this store much better until book prices changed. I’m very disappointed that book prices have gone up. Pricing changed from $ 0.49 per book to individual pricing. Some books seem quite expensive. I still shop for books (paperback only) because most are priced at $ 0.99 each. I’ve started using my library instead.
I only shop for books so I can’t speak for other items. However sometimes the store smells like well worn shoes.

I don’t really like Goodwill because they’re usually pretty overpriced (in my opinion, a used pair of jeans shouldn’t cost even 50% of what they would be new). I’ve found quite a few books there though, and at $ 0.49 a piece (hardcovers included), you can’t really lose. Otherwise, this store is like most other Goodwills – somewhat clean, normal compared to other Goodwill stores.

I like the one on Seneca rd. better
