Goodwill Industries

They are hm… ok but I do find them being overpriced for what you get — you need to look and look to find decent quality clothing. As to ‘stuff’, plastic is way overpriced, so are baskets/​china etc. I stopped shopping there. Besides, I find it really annoying that kids clothing that is of ‘toddler size’ but is not marked with a ‘T’ would be charged at older kids clothing prices — seriously??? (You know how some brands have different sizing.) I switched to buying at sales/​Marshalls, rather then second hand to find some good deals and save some money. Two stars is because I did find Pierre Cardin sweater 1 time for 5.99, which was neat.

Want designer jeans, shirts, etc? You can have them but you wont pay normal goodwill prices, they will mark them up and put them in the «boutique» section… which i find rather confusing because looking through the «boutique» section you will find things with holes or a st johns bay circa 1982 ugly vest. But if you take a look at the normal rack you will find the same exact items for normal goodwill prices. I think the boutique section is a waste of time and no one buys from it. A very disturbing thing happened last time I went here. I found a pair of bebe jeans on the normal jeans rack for $ 7.99. Great deal! Used jeans, not brand new, not fancy looking. When I took them to the counter to checkout, the cashier decided to change the price, right in front of me, as im about to pay!!! Now my bebe jeans were $ 15.99. So be careful when shopping at Goodwill. They never used to have this «boutique» section. I thought shopping at the thrift store buying used clothing was supposed to be thrifty???
