Goodwill

Unlike any other goodwill I have ever been to the prices here our outrageous sometimes … Is this goodwill or macys?!

not a whole lot of furniture which is what i was looking for but the shoe collection is the shiz if you’re into glittery, towering stilettos and fun shoes in general this is the place.

This is the worst thrift store I’ve ever been to. Fast fashion crap finds at around the same price you’d purchase it for retail, junky homewares, and corners that smell like fart. Spaghetti sauce in the home goods section. I think the most valuable thing I saw was a Recycled Paper Products mug with some clever adage printed on it.
Save yourself the time and avoid this one.

Great finds and great deals whenever I visit this location. I got a really good vintage leather jacket with zip out lining for $ 20. Also, I gotten jeans and butyon-​down shirts.

So I have to stick up for this Goodwill and say that I am impressed. It is clean, and everything is for the most part organized.
I came in looking for a black collared shirt and within five minutes, there it was. All of the shirts are sorted by color, making it easy to find what you are looking for. The shirt was $ 5 and in good condition– what more can you ask for?
There is a wide selection of clothes, including dresses, pants, children’s clothes, etc. Yes you have to dig through racks to find good steals and the right sizes, but this is a thrift store and is to be expected. The shoe department on the lower level was a bit less organized, with some shoes missing the left or right one to make it a match.
All the employees I saw were constantly working and moving around, and there is a donation bin to your left immediately after you walk in so you can drop off your donations. The bin was not overflowing which is awesome– that means your stuff is getting put out on the floor fairly quickly, instead of just sitting somewhere collecting dust. I have been to other thrift stores where the donations pile high and take forever to actually get seen by someone, so I was very encouraged by this.
I recommend checking out this store if you need something specific or just have time to kill. They sell almost anything and you will find something that interests you.

I have been passing by this Goodwill for a while in the process of making my way from The Bronx to Manhattan via the BX3/​1 Train. From the outside I assumed it probably was one of the crappier Goodwills filled with cheap newer clothing but I made some surprising finds. After trying quite a few things on and being in the store for an hour with my boyfriend, our haul was:
— Long sleeve, oversized (high quality) polyester blouse with fall leaves (looks vintage but unsure) — $ 4.99
— Vintage 70s double-​knit polyester mod sleeveless dress (needs a little TLC but amazing!) — $ 8.49
— Vintage pink Cadillac-​style enamel earrings — $ 0.99
— 1980s Alf Lunchbox (also needs some TLC) — $ 2 + 50% off for yellow tag
— Sleater-​Kenney CD — $ 1.99
— The Shins Promo-​Only CD — $ 1.99
— Space Jam throw pillow with Michael Jordan’s face — $ 2.99
— Vintage ‘History of Medicine’ book with Illustrations — $ 1 + 50% off for yellow tag
Plus everything that wasn’t half off was 25% off for their July 4 sale. I’m also bummed I had to pass on a really cool teal lamp shaped like a seashell that was $ 8 but I’m in the process of moving :(Most of the stuff wasn’t amazing but if you are willing to dig, you’ll find cool things. I didn’t get a chance to check the men’s department. There were some other really cool things in women’s like a South American cape and this gorgeous Pink and Fuchsia houndstooth wool suit (marked at $ 20) that was a size or two too small. This Goodwill was a bit more expensive than the ones I visited back home in Florida but on the upside, they do discount tags by color, which all Goodwills do not do.
Overall, including discount and tax, I spent under $ 19. I’ll probably come back next month to see what other goodies I can find.
