I have to admit that I sometimes do not have the time to read so many pages of response to one topic but this one I had to read. I was at our Goodwill yesterday and I truly have to agree about the prices. The only thing I have bought since I moved here last October is the sewing machine I posted back in November. That was a wonderful deal. BUT...every time I have been back since, I can find nothing that I would pay their prices for.I stopped shopping at the Salvation Army years ago because of their high prices, now I have decided not to shop at Goodwill either.We have donated many thousands of dollars of good stuff and I really think that they are surely paying their personnel TOP $$ or else maybe something fishy is going on.
