Goodwill

Even though I found my recent pair of jeans in this store it is not my favorite. I am sure you can find hidden gems in this store once and a while but I do not like the feel of the place. It is unorganized and not very welcoming.
The store is long and narrow and there is just too many things in the middle of the floor for it to be easy to maneuver the shop. The front is always overly decorated with some of the things that they find interesting although it is not the most popular.
If you like a place that seems a bit old and cluttered, then it is the place to go and if you have enough time on your hands I am sure you will be able to find something great on the shelf’s or hangers.

As far as charity shops go, the Goodwill Thrift Shop is among the best:
1) Open on Sundays – 1of only 3 on both George’s Street and Capel Street that is.
2) I always find something here. Last time it was a purple tulip skirt with an exposed zipper and this time it was a pair of black dress slacks. It must be magic.

I’ve never gone here to shop but I have donated stuff.
Nothing better than clearing the wardrobe… I need to let go of the student clothes… I need to let go.
Regardless of the elated feeling you get when you part with clothes or items that you have no need for anymore, it has to be said the absolute joy and gratitude that I received for that donation was so worth it.
I’m hooked now, I did another drop off this morning — soon I will be naked.

I’m not entirely sure who benefits from the profits turned at the Goodwill Thrift Shop, though as a child of the 90s I can appreciate an all encompassing concept of Goodwill for the sake of itself as a motivation for charity.
Here is another one of those Tardis-​style shops that look small on the street and seem to go on and on forever once inside. TGS definitely had the most diverse offering on display, with clothes and books kept to the front, furniture and handbags on the next level up, and childrens toys (some of which were still in the box) at the very back.
As always the prices were encouraging –most of the childrens’ goods were about € 1, while skirts and trousers came in around the € 5 /​€ 10 mark.
It was bright, it was busy and there was plenty to choose from. Whom ever this shop is supporting, I’m delighted to help out!
