Goodwill Store & Donation Center

Personally, this is one of my favorite Goodwill stores. It’s a large store and it’s fairly well organized. I find the prices to be excellent and I have found many awesome items here. It takes some time to find the great stuff but if you are willing to go through the racks, you won’t believe how much name brand items you will find for a bargain. I visit at least once a week and once you get to know the store, you get a better idea of where to look for the best stuff. Easter Seals Goodwill Store’s are my far the best stores. I donate tons of stuff here as well and have always liked the easy drive up and the people in the back always help. It’s a great store, worth stopping by!

Stopped in today with my mother around 2 p.m. One can usually discover a hidden treasure; my find today was a $ 6 roller coaster Anatex toy (used) which goes for $ 60. As we were leaving I spied a nice shirt on a mannequin and asked a young female employee passing by if it was for sale. «Everything here is for sale.» She appeared to be leading several trainees.
«Can I buy it?» I asked.
«Some girl will help you,» was her reply as the group drifted off. I peered around for some girl who was just sitting around — but alas, there were only the two cashiers. The line behind me grew longer. My mother was leaning on her cane, waiting.
At this point I told the cashier not to bother, but I really liked the blouse, along with being nonplussed by this girl’s attitude.
«I want that shirt, is there anyone here who can help me take it off?» The cashier called over a young male who carefully took it off, folded it up and apologized. to both myself and those in line.
Maybe someone there should manage the managers.

When you choose 3 stars for a Unilocal review the text next to the box says «A-​OK.» A-​OK is a perfect description of the Orange Goodwill. I’m a early twenties female so I can only say I buy shoes, clothes and trinkets here, but I always find gems. This place is not like the Savers down the road. It’s fairly cluttered and disorganized (which kind of gives me anxiety and I just want to put the movies in order) but it’s not horrible. The shoes are color grouped. The clothes are organized by style-​long sleeved shirts or shorts, etc.
All I can say is that if you’re willing to spend some time here, you can find some really incredible pieces. People donate some nice things here. The book selection is pretty good and most VHS’ are $ 1 and I’m proud to say I found copies of Friday, Ghost World and Zoolander. The lines are often long because most of the time only one register is open. Also, I donate my stuff often here and every time someone is in the back to help me. All in all this is a solid thrift store.

Poor selection of household goods.

This is a large, relatively new Goodwill store located right on Rt 1. It has a large parking lot and a drop off place in back.
I have to admit I don’t like these type of places but my wife has an absolute fascination with them. Many of the smaller ones that I have been in are messy, cramped and have unidentifiable but not particularly pleasant odors. i fell like I am getting cooties just walking through the door.
This one is actually much nicer. Perhaps because it is new and spread out, I don’t feel as if I am digging through a pile of crap in the local land fill.
They have clothes that are neatly placed on racks and everything looks clean. They also have some neat old records and books and tons of little trinkets like glass cups, statues and strange souvenirs from god know where. Obviously these were gifts that people didn’t know what the hell to do with so they donated them here.
I actually had a pretty good time digging around through the stuff and bought a few little things that I certainly don’t need, including a neat cup with a cat holding his tail for the handle and a book on the history of potato farming in Idaho. Not exactly what I was looking for but still pretty neat. At least I didn’t get cooties from this place.
