Goodwill Industries

I love thrift shopping to start with. This goodwill is my favorite! Very friendly and always clean. They always have new selection!
I could stay for hours and hours just searching the store lol. they always have certain deals with certain tags half off… can’t go wrong!

I thrift all the time. There are a ton of different locations in Tacoma, hence all the shopping. This locations has to be the most organized and clean. The only thing about this one though, is that there weren’t very many employees on the floor to help. There were a lot doing stock in opposite sides of the whole store. Another thing is that I noticed that there are a lot of things that are way more pricey than they should be. As I said, I’ve been to a lot of local Goodwills. I see price tags of everything. There were certain things that were $ 4.99 when really they could be $ 2 or less. This is a bigger Goodwill for furniture and homewares, but it honestly wasn’t a great selection today. That’s what really happens when it’s a thrift store, though. I highly recommend going to 38^th St. Goodwill for the best clothing, shoe, and bag selection for the ladies.

We went in today to buy work shirts and was told they will no longer accept checks at ANY goodwill after September first, and would I like to round up for job training… I thought our donations and our business helped job training. When will people wake up to the largest scam in America? They get stuff for free, jobs are basic for very low wages, and merchandise is sold for high prices, 3^rd retailer in the country behind wallmart and target! I loved Goodwill for fun, but no more!

We came in to look for knick nacks & random pieces for our home.
No associates were on the sales floor so I couldn’t ask for assistance.
The isles were pretty messy but hey it’s a thrift shop so oh well.
The line was extremely long so we just ended up putting our items down and heading out.
Maybe I’ll try shopping here again one day, who knows?

Very large clothing selection and I did find a few pieces that I had to have here, but while browsing I noticed that a lot of their clothing isn’t in the greatest shape — dirty, holy, stained, etc. I don’t usually notice those issues at the Lacey GW. If I’m ever in the area again, I will stop by, but since I have the Olympia and Lacey GW’s, it is not likely I’ll make a special trip.

So I was just driving along and looked to my right and saw the Goodwill sign. After gasping and nearly choking on my own spit I swerved across a few lanes of traffic (legally ;^)) and pulled into the parking lot. The windows to this GW are clear and big so you can kind of gauge what you’re getting into. The first thing I noticed was that they had another store to the right of the GW which was completely Christmas items. A GW Christmas store… what??? But anyway I’m not all that xmas-​y anyway.
So I walk into the GW. Whoa! Major! Okay of course they had their double tags sale going on. But there was so much selection I became faint. I saw stars and had to hold onto the rack of men’s clothes that was nearby.
So as you may know from my other reviews of thrift stores I go for VHS, men’s clothes/​shoes, sometimes linens, sometimes small appliances. and rarely furniture. It took me a good 25 minutes just to get through the VHS. I really had to take my time because oddly there were a lot of movies I don’t have and the movies kind of wrap around the corner.
Then the men’s clothes. I have been looking for some colder weather gear to get me set for the winter. I found 4 cardigans for $ 2.99 each and a few nice blazers for around $ 5.99 each. I think I was too overwhelmed to even bother looking through the jeans/​pants which there was a lot of. Then I turned to the right and BAM! shoes. There were more shoes than I normally see in GW for men. Jis sayin’.
I definitely will go back if I’m in the area. Don’t let the outside parking lot fool you. Wow! Wow!

A great spot if you are a thrift store enthusiast!
I remember finding some really great items at this Goodwill a few years back so recently I decided to drive down from Seattle to check it out. I am glad to report that it is still awesome. It’s one of the bigger stores and the bathrooms are accessible and clean. There is a donut shop and there is also a great espresso stand that serves Batdorf and Bronson coffee.
Furthermore, this Goodwill location seems to have a large and seperate holiday section dubbed ‘Christmas Shoppe’. I will definitely be back to check it out next winter.

This is a nice store with a good selection. But I have to mention it for the linens, in particular. My partner swears by the linens here and we come here just to check them out.

I hardly ever wear dresses and did not want to spend tons of money for one time deal for a special occasion. Where do you go? Yes to a thrift store.
Here I am with my bf trying to find the one dress to wear, instead my bf found a 3-​piece taylored suit that fit him perfect to a «T» for $ 11! That was great for him.
It’s a big, clean and spacious store. It seems going out of Seattle to a thrift store at times pays off.
A MUST GO!
