You won't believe the prices at our thrift/goodwill store
#1
I have never been to the Goodwill store here in our town. After seeing everyone's posts here about the great finds they come home with, I decided to stop in when I was in town today. I DID NOT come home with anything. I couldn't believe the prices. I could have gone to Target and done as well. I took pics so you could see items and prices, and at the end, someone came up to me and asked me to stop taking pics. One I wanted to get a pic of was a shower curtain still in the package for $15.00. Ummmm...I just bought a shower curtain at Target for $9.99 and it was cute! Anyway....on to the pics I did get.
The first pic is of a formica nightstand that is all beat up and dinged. It was 25 bucks. Maybe these are going prices for crap in this condition, but personally I wouldn't give 5 dollars.

I went to my local Goodwill yesterday- left in disgust at the prices- without buying anything. Today I went to a little thrift shop that helps fund a homeless shelter. I came away with 4 yards of good quality cotton fabric and 4 yards of seer sucker for $2.00. At that price I can afford to make some charity quilts.

The Goodwill here is more expensive now than they were just a year ago. There is a Salvation Army really close to where I live and their prices are just about as much as brand new. I have stopped shopping at either one of these places because the prices have gone up so much. We do however have a small thrift store here that I volunteer at. All proceeds go to a horse rescue ranch. Now their prices are really good. This is now the only "thrift" store I buy at any more.
