    I used to love to shop at Goodwills but not anymore. The Goodwill near my house has nothing to buy especially home goods. I don't donate to Goodwill because I don't see the items I have donated. I donate some good stuff but I don't see them on display for sale. I went daily to check. Now I donate to local charity thrift stores for animals, homeless, etc.

      GW takes their better donations and auctions them off for themselves. I, too, will not donate to them. There is a great ministry thrift store near my house I donate to.

      I donate to the local thrift store that also runs our food pantry. Good Will moved into our little town of 8K and is taking some of the donations away from our local store. 😡 It's frustrating because they don't help out our community and their prices are much high for lower quality goods!
      Every summer our pantry gives out free lunches to kids MWF... and weekend bagged meals to families in need - on Top of giving local families monthly food allotments.
      The local school distributes the kid lunches via a few yellow busses and to central locations like the trailer courts and local park where kids parents can walk to get them.
      We didn't want the Goodwill but we couldn't argue with them wanting to lease the space. I refuse to support them. Give to your local thrifstores and make a difference in your community.

      I also used to love going to Goodwill, but I feel like it’s gotten pricier and the items aren’t as cool anymore, o I agree that they probably are very selective with the items they display 😅

    I had to laugh when you said you spit your gum out when it loses it's flavor. There was a song that came out in the late 50's called Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor On The Bed Post Over Night. Now I can't get it out of my head! 😂

    • @conniemccollam2605
      @conniemccollam2605 Год назад +1

      Thought the same thing, stuck in my head now. As a kid I did put my gum on the bed post, I am now 76. Fun days.

  • @ellenpantaleo9787
    @ellenpantaleo9787 Год назад +2

    We lived in The Villages for about 5 1/2 years and I thought their goodwill was pathetic. We then moved to Ocala. Ocala goodwill is basically the same but worse, if that’s even possible. Don’t waste your time.
    I enjoy your vlogs & videos and you, of course! Hey to Stella ❤

  • @luvnalaska44

    Unfortunately the Goodwill stores in central Florida can be "slim pickings" compared to what you have in Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, etc. There are two in Gainesville and one has dishes piled everywhere and a lot of broken items with limited space for the type of items you like. The other one is only slightly better. Think a lot of stuff is sent to other locations..maybe Jacksonville. Lots of clothes in both. Good luck.
