Goodwill

I came across this specific Goodwill because my boyfriend and I had just cleaned out our closet and wanted to donate some bags of clothes. I am VERY HAPPY we choose Goodwill.
Dropping off our donation was easy! I just went to the back of the store, someone came out to help take the bags from me, and they even gave me a receipt! They were all very helpful and friendly! This also goes for all the staff inside the store too!
Inside the store is very organized and nicely decorated! I found a very beautiful vintage jacket that ended up being $ 11 with my student discount! Overall definitely going back!

I consider myself to be a Goodwill addict. Whenever I travel for work or pleasure; I look for GW stores. I have likely been to 60 or more. This store takes the cake! Clean. Organized. Great quality of items. Reasonable prices. Helpful staff. Shopping carts in great working order. A+. Do not miss this one!!! (They offer discounts to a variety of people, including teachers and students. Bring ID to prove status)

Used to find all kinds of gems here for bargain thrift store prices. I guess goodwill now feels they can charge buffalo exchange prices which is completely absurd. With in the past few weeks, this location has dramatically raised prices. Designer men’s shirts such as brooks brothers or Hugo boss used to always be marked $ 6 – 10. Now same shirts are marked $ 20 to $ 25. You are goodwill for goodness sake, a thrift store. Used clothing sold marginally cheaper than brand new clothing from Nordstrom Rack. No thanks

Yay! I’m a fan of this store always find something, never walk empty handed, they have a huge selection of household, love their books on sale on weekends, lots of clothing, furniture is great at great prices. I always recommend this place.

This Goodwill is a bit on the small side, but has a really great clothing selection. Parking can be hard, but usually not too much of a problem. I almost always make a good find here, lots of good labels and the store is always clean and well organized.
Don’t forget to ask for your student or military discount!

Good finds!

Goodwill Hillcrest is not as big as other similar stores; however, it’s clean, and the employees (at least the ones I’ve dealt with) know how to treat customers. Case in point: Last night, two employees went above and beyond what they had to do. I didn’t catch both of their names, but the one I had initial contact with was Alex. He’s a good guy. I appreciate good service, especially after the bad experience I had at a competing thrift store down the street.
Goodwill might charge a little more than some other secondhand stores, but what they sell seems to be in better condition. When I walk in, I feel as if I’m in a newer retail store and not a thrift store.
Since the store is located in Hillcrest, it’s a bit challenging to find parking, but if you’re already in the area, it’s definitely worth dropping by.

The nicest, most clean Goodwill I have ever been in. It is arranged like a high end retail store. A nice clothing selection, lots of female clothing. Brick-​a-​brack section is small, yet has variety. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

My sis and i were in san diego for the weekend from LA and we found super nice clothes!
Found a Macys dress with the tag still on for 12.99! Original price was 65.99.
Over all, the have the plus sizes seperated and everything color cordinanted like a usual goodwill.
Next time we are in town, we are coming back!

This Goodwill actually looks like a store in the mall the way the clothes are displayed, very impressed.
I made a large donation and checked out the store for a few minutes. If I needed a suit on the cheap, I would go here. They also had ties, belts, shoes… just about everything you could be looking for.

This Goodwill rivals any I’ve seen, in fact, it appears to be a high end vintage store rather than a Goodwill store.
Yet, the items are on the cheap, but in no way are looking so!
That, is because it has been completely redone, stocked with items that are in sell-​able condition and, staff that dress like they are not working in the stereotypical Goodwill store too.
Isles are stocked, color balanced (that’s retail lingo, I learned in retail going to college), organized and although they didn’t have what we were looking for at the time for Unilocal Rocks the Boat Elite Event San Diego in June 2014, we sure know where to go for other things that other stores are lacking of on a general scale
Now, this Goodwill may not be huge, but it is large enough to to display items without you getting lost in blue jeans & Bunny Slippers or, dragging a sales rack behind you like a piece of toilet tissue on the bottom of your shoe!
Stop in, take a look around and make a purchase that too will go towards a good cause, and join the other Unilocalers who agree that this Goodwill is the place to go for [Goodwill]
Of course you guys, you might want to take your lady (not behead her for not having ideas for your clothing on the cheap ideas either) with you to help you pick out clothing that works, otherwise, if I’m not available you may need to take this person for help who always comes in handy (EVERY Bro needs one!), yes that’s right, your:

New favorite Goodwill! And I take Goodwill very seriously, haha. This place is well organized, clean, and FULL of designer duds that you can buy for a good cause. The staff is nice and helpful as well. They have a small section of housewares, current hardback and paperback books, but no real furniture because it’s a small store. But the clothes here are relatively high end, and the designer jeans etc are somewhat separated from the regular labels. I found a Brandy Melville shirt for 3.99 and Old Navy white skinny jeans for $ 6. Unfortunately the Vans red jeans and the True Religions didn’t fit :(And even with those prices, the staff asked me if I qualified for one of their discounts, hehe, so as a student I got 10% off. And I felt good about spending money on something trendy like white jeans. Love this store!

Wow! Nicest Goodwill I have ever been to. I came to find a couple cheap items to rip up for a zombie costume, and everything I found is so cute that I don’t want to rip it up. Good prices still though. I will have to come back for real shopping!

I don’t normally like to shop at Goodwill, but my friend wanted to search for Halloween costume pieces. This is probably the nicest Goodwill I have been to. The shop is clean, the selection is high quality, and the staff is super nice. Shout out to Priscilla, who suggested more items based on what we bought while we were checking out… now THAT is customer service!
I want to come back to shop décor pieces because they have some cool stuff. I just bought an awesome masquerade ball mask. Whether you are on a budget looking for Halloween costume pieces, business ties, or even extra pizzazz for your home, this Goodwill is worth checking out.

Nicest goodwill that i have ever been to. The staff was super friendly and even stayed open a few minutes extra so I wouldn’t have to rush my purchases. The mannequins in the front of the store were changed while we were there and their displays looked just as good as a department store. I got 5 books, a briefcase and a suit suitcase all for $ 30.
I will definitely be back.

This was a smaller store. They had mostly clothing with some smaller items available too. They seemed to have a lot of name brand clothes, especially among their jeans collection.

This Goodwill is a little more cramped/​smaller than others, but that didn’t prevent me from finding lots of deals!
I read some of the reviews referring to their stuff being priced higher than other Goodwills. I think this is due to the fact that the whole right hand side/​front of the store is their «Boutique» section (which they have at all Goodwills), where things are priced higher than their «regular» items. I bought a pair of brand new heels in the boutique section for $ 10, which is standard, and another pair of heels for $ 15 which is normally a little more than what I pay. I figured this was because it was «boutique».
When I went, the store was clean and organized and the staff was friendly (The cashier was greeting every single person that walked into the store).
The parking gods were with us on Saturday and we scored a metered spot right in front of the store (2 hour parking everyday except Sundays/​After 6PM).

Definitely the best Goodwill that I’ve ever been to. It’s clean, organized, and best of all, doesn’t smell weird. It’s actually a bit on the smaller side, but still offers a good selection of stuff.
I stopped by for some snow gear before a family trip to the mountains. As I knew we’d only be hitting the bunny slopes/​sledding, I didn’t want to spend a ton of money. My husband and I both found ski pants, $ 30 total! Great finds without breaking the bank.

Seen one goodwill, seen them all. They all look the same and have about the same pricing.
Nothing much really stands out about this one, except maybe the pricing wasn’t consistent. Some of the prices were outrageous and some were super cheap. I bought my husband a really nice, like new QuickSilver jacket for $ 6.99 (score!) but then I saw some other random brand, old looking jacket for $ 12.99. I wondered who prices these things. Glad I found a good jacket though.
They have lots of over priced purses, some reasonable clothes and a very small section of toys. They do not have a private parking lot, you have to use the meters out side.
I gave them 3 stars because my visit wasn’t stellar, but it wasn’t bad either. I will probably stop by next time I’m in the area.

This Goodwill is based on their maternity section…
They do not have a large selection of maternity clothes. Their pants and shorts are less than ten dollars. A majority of their pants and shorts are size medium and large. I don’t know if they have maternity dresses, shirts, blouses, and skirts though.
I give credit to their superior customer service and how clean and organized their store was.
