Goodwill

This is my favorite goodwill!
if your looking for Around the house items like Coffee table, book shelf, couch things like that, they have a pretty good variety of that here. Maybe not variety but good quality items. They have tons of cups, mugs, vases, Picture frames, soap pads, books, sunglasses, cards (birthday, get well. so on)
For some reason it’s the one with the most clothes for women and it’s always nice stuff. Even the plus size clothes for women are cute! I know this because so often my size is mixed everywhere else and I say to myself damn that’s cute, look at the tag crap not my Size. The woman’s clothes are pretty Well organized.
Now if your shopping for kids… That’s a mess!!! They don’t put it by size, boys or girls; it’s just all hanging together randomly.
If your shopping for men, the selection is HORRIBLE but feel free to check it out. They have things sized properly that’s not the issue it’s that the clothes that are donated by men are just seriously old and tattered. You have polos, shirts, sweaters, jackets from like the 80s/​90s it’s horrendous unless that’s what your looking for. A lot of mens tee shirts that must have been just lounging around the house, or painting in. Really horrible. Like… I know someone needs clothes bad but damn refrain from putting out really gross stuff in a goodwill bag.
*My theory when I donate is, if I saw my shirt that I’m donating or pant does it actually look like it would be worth even 50¢ (for a garage sale) if not and of I think it’s junky I trash it because I don’t want a crappy option for someone who is trying to buy decent clothes. I hardly ever trash thing but there’s points I have. There sense in donating something with holes, stains, bleach marks or excessively OVER washed and looks ancient.

Ugh. The prices have gone way up. Really? $ 4.99-$ 8.99 for a used t-​shirt that isn’t even a named brand? I can get a brand new one for $ 5 at Old Navy. Nothing in this stores is less than $ 0.99, which is a ripoff for a bunch of items. Just for point of clarification — the Goodwills in Los Angeles (the ritzy areas of LA) are no where near expensive and have much higher quality of items at them,
Also not liking how everything is separated by color. Not by kitchen, housewares, frames, glass, garden, etc. But by COLOR. So you have all reds of glass, housewares, kids, and holiday is the RED section. Makes for not very conducive browsing unless you’re looking for a certain color.
Staff is very helpful and friendly though.
