After reading here about the many Goodwill finds, I was passing one last week, so dashed in. Was so disappointed at prices--high and higher! Went to another later with a friend, and same pricing prevailed. Picked up a few pieces of fabric and other "treasures," but would have bought far more if prices had been better. Asked an employee about one remnant that was marked as though it were two full yards, but was in fact about 1/2 yard after deducting for missing area, and she said it was priced by length, and once priced could not be reduced! I put it back, realizing exactly why it had a year old date on the tag....
