Our Goodwill is pretty pricey, too. They used to have half off days, but they don't anymore. The prices in general used to be better, too, and they had more stuff, but now there is less to buy and at higher prices. I hardly ever go there anymore. But the books can be a good deal, depending on what you are looking for. I bought a stack of books for $8 the other day that would have cost three or four times that off of Amazon.
