I am from probably the poorest county in So. Jersey, and it is less expensive to shop at Walmart than at our local Goodwill...the problem is mainly that they've found that they get better prices on their shopgoodwill.com site...oh well, I still go just in case...lol...Naomi
Yea, it's a shame really...not much "goodwill" in that! I just hate how they are supposed to be there for those who can't afford new, so they are really hurting. I also learned from a friend who is up in ranks, at a "non-profit" store organization, that less than 10% of their profits actually go to the programs they brag about, but their big wigs are making $400,000 annually. That burns my butt! So, I only donate to shelters now, or places that I know who supply the needy with these items for free :)
