Goodwill Shop and Donate

Was able to drop off my donation items quickly and easily. Even on the last day of the year they had the drop off line moving quick and smooth. I also went inside and was able to find the AC to DC power cord I needed for a special project and it only cost me $ 1.

A good place to get wine glasses.

Overpriced. I saw someone spend $ 80 on an ALMOST brand new pair of Asics that you could get at the store for the exact same price in the box.
The books are good price and in good shape. The rest of the store was ehh. Especially the clothes. I thought the price was a little much. However I did get a brand new military shirt for $ 2 so that was great.
Oh and the children’s clothing leaves much to be desired especially for young boys.
I’ll come back occasionally because it is close to my house but it’s one of the more expensive Goodwills Ive been to. Although I am new here and according the other reviews from other places, Goodwills around here seem to be more expensive than other places.

I love to shop at Goodwill stores… especially this one. It is close to my home and convenience is important to me (I detest traffic). I go for the treasure hunt and am rarely disappointed. The reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of some of the prices. There have been a few occasions that I found objects that are priced the same or more than what they cost brand new in the stores. I have brought it to the attention of management a few times (even showing them online the cost of the item brand new) but am told each time that their hands are tied, once the item is priced.
Really? Okay. Common sense still needs to be our go-​to tool in any environment.
But otherwise… I enjoy this location.

Love this location both for purchasing random items for parties and costumes, as well as donating. This is my go to spot for donating clothing (unfortunately I’m known to turn over my wardrobe almost every year — darn you Nordstrom Rack!). I have also moved twice, currently packing to move again, in the past year and have brought all kinds of items to the guys who work the donation door. They are always so nice, helpful and always remember to offer me the tax receipt (which I would forget otherwise). Such a great way to give back and I will continue to support Goodwill after I move to Massachusetts!

Standard Goodwill
Convenient drive-​thru donation — not like shady drive around back situation on S. Lamar
Decent Auctions on weekends. I’ve seen some nice antique furniture go in auction
Decent picture frame selection for art projects
Decent glassware /​crystal vase selection (seriously)
Great for putting together a costume
Friendly service each time I’ve been
Remember — Money spent at Goodwill goes towards their helping people find jobs. Items donated serve this same purpose while also offering needed items at an extremely affordable rate to families with low income. I choose to stop here before heading to Hobby Lobby for art /​crafty supplies and ideas, to find furniture worth refurbishing, and this is where all clothes we’ve outgrown end up.

The is by far the worst of the Goodwills. The staff was very rude and unpleasant. Smiling does not hurt you at all and goes a long way. Furthermore, this store is also extremely overpriced. Also, there is always such a line at checkout.
The Goodwill on Brodie however, is much better and a much more pleasant store. When you enter that store the people nicely great you and checkout is much shorter.

If you don’t want to spend much money — go to Goodwill. That’s right — but nothing new.
Well, it’s close to our house, has a huge parking space in front of it and little traffic around — so no traffic hazzle.
The location is pretty big and well organized. My wife and me went there already 4 times within 6 weeks — because it was worth going there. We always found a good bargain — and made our kids happy. We would have never ever spent a lot of money on some toys, but for $ 5 you don’t think twice.
We are really glad to have this Goodwill in our neighborhood.

This Goodwill isn’t the best. There are cleaner, newer, and better thrift stores out there… and certainly ones that get better donations.
If you’re like me and thrift shop primarily for clothing, I’d advice you move on.
I spent almost two hours in this store, sorting through every article of blouse, pant, and t-​shirt, and walked out empty handed. I’ve been to thrift stores before that I would describe as «picked through,» but this Goodwill’s merchandise is particularly undesirable. What I mean is the worn out and pit-​stained frocks of Target, Wal-​Mart, JC Penney, and Forever 21.
Goodwill has always had higher prices than other charity shops, but nothing in the Brodie store seemed worth while. I’m hoping the newer store on South 1^st will be more worth my time.

This Goodwill on Brodie Lane is my happy place.
It’s pretty spacious, has a good selection, and the staff have been nice and professional every time I’ve shopped there (which is about 3 times a month.) This Goodwill has a great selection of housewares, dishes, and decorative items which are my favorite. I am the rare shopper that does not use Goodwill just for clothes. Vintage kitchen and household items are my addiction.
There is always enough parking, even when the store is busy. They have nice furniture too, better than I have seen at other Goodwill locations. If the line at a register is too long, they always call for back up. Their checkers are fast and always answer any questions I have.
The biggest plus of this Goodwill? There stuff is never overpriced. It is a true thrift store where you can find tons of awesome deals. I bought a $ 60 rice cooker for $ 6, a $ 45 Oster blender for $ 10, silver plate candle stick holders for 99 cents, antique fine china saucers for 59 cents each — the list goes on and on. The Goodwill location on S. Lamar really marks their stuff up so I can’t buy as much as I’d like. I can always get whatever I want at the Brodie location.
Although I haven’t bought as clothes here, when I look I see lots of LL Bean, J Crew, etc. — good selection and I’m pleased with the shirts I have bought there.

This is a pretty large goodwill store. The folks that work here are very nice. The selection is good too. The evening I went they were on overstock trying to find a home for everything. Which is good for the consumer (great selection!)
I went specifically looking for an office desk and I found one in perfect condition for $ 20. And some other things too!
I’ll be back for sure!

Isn’t it weird how thrift stores all smell exactly the same? Somehow if you take a bunch of old crap from enough different people and put it in a room together, the scents and fragrances and stenches all come together and merge or cancel each other out or something, I don’t know, but that singularly unmistakeable odor is created, the kind that makes you want to wash your hands the moment you step out the door. but I digress.
A Goodwill store is a Goodwill store for the most part. A few hidden treasures buried beneath a bunch of old smelly crap. This store’s a little small with narrow aisles, and they don’t usually stock much of a furniture selection. They’ve never had more than one register working, that’s my primary complaint — I’ve spend more time waiting in line to check out here than browsing.

I like this store. It’s pretty small, but it’s well kept up and in a nice area with lots of parking. I went in today to look for photo frames and ended up with three!
I picked up one of those boards with ribbons cutting across where you can slide photos in and the price on it said 99 cents. Below that sticker was another price: $ 3.99. The cashier handed it off to someone else for a price check and she came back with a $ 2.99 price. What??? I don’t know why they didn’t honor the 99 cent price, or even the $ 3.99 in case the 99 cent was a mistake. It was really weird. I bought it, but I found it odd that neither price on the board was correct. Interesting pricing strategies.
The cashier was super nice and chatty. She gave me some tips on where to find cheap scrapbooking supplies and how to make photo boards like the one I bought. Awesome!

Nice selection. Prices were reasonable… a bit more than other stores but being as shopping at Goodwill is like participating in a school fundraiser it’s worth the few extra cents or dollars. Since they exist on donations selections are always changing.
One has to remember why they exist… to help those in need. You AREN’T going into Macy’s. There aren’t seventeen employees beating each other up for commission from your sale. Some things end up unpriced but so what?
I picked up a barely used bread machine that works GREAT for $ 15, a totally unused air popping machine for popcorn, a lot of nifty books (including one for card tricks and balloon sculptures since I have a group of scouts to entertain) and a large Lincoln Log set that was $ 3.99.

I stopped by this Goodwill to pick up a few items for my show. I usually don’t head to Goodwill because of the pricing– there are much better thrift stores out there. Since I was in the area, I stopped in. Plenty of parking, so that’s cool. The store also seems clean, too.
I was searching for menswear. After wasting a few minutes looking for it, I finally saw it on the far left-​hand side of the store. The prices were about what I could expect from a Goodwill. $ 4.99−7.99 for the shirts at which I was taking a gander. The thrift stores I usually shop at list prices on goods of similar quality between $ 1 – 4. Also, some shirts were not marked at all– so I had no idea what price they were. But since I was there for convenience, I picked up a few shirts.
I went to the register and waited, realizing that there seemed to be an absence of workers in the place. Eventually someone came by and noticed the clothes in my hand and asked if I was there to check out. Yup.
So my few shirts came out to around $ 50, which wasn’t terrible, but it could have been much better. The unpriced ones were identified to be some generic shirt price (which they probably should just post on the racks like I’ve seen at other Goodwills).
So I stopped, just to check it out, but it was like most other Goodwill stores I’ve been to– I probably won’t be back too often.

I like this store. I like the goodwill. I like re-​using clothing… I especially like $ 1.59 per piece of childrens clothing. I have been frequenting this store for a while specifically for our 15 month old beauty! I have managed to find a few things including a little tikes slide for $ 7. I have gotten her gap jeans for $ 1.59 as well as a spring/​fall jacket for the same price. I love the hunt for a bargain… Oh… I also got her a great Brobee kite that is brand new $ 1.99. I’m saving that for Christmas since she is a HUGE yo gabba gabba fan ;)
