Yes. I was a manager for our local goodwill and everything name.brand was immediately put aside to be shipped back to the auction main good will warehouse. Anything ruined dirty ripped broken cracked could stay and any thing of value had to go. They would send floor watchers to.come walk my store weekly to make sure during the 50% off sale nothing worth anything wasnt being sold. They would even send a team in to pull jeans etc and box them up so they would NOT for 50% off. It got so disgusting i quit. Many.poor people would come to shop not just resellers. Lastly they would make us put all coats and jackets to the side and not put them out until sept so anything new coming in from march to end of august was saved then they would be hung up for 19.99 and higher. No more buying coats in summer time at a discount. I couldnt stand it anymore.
This is exactly why I am looking for other places to thrift…I have often found donated Home Goods or other major retail brands (some with damage or wear), often priced by Goodwill near the original price. There is no more “good will” in Goodwill. How is this helping consumers on more limited incomes find something they can afford? It’s a shame…I think they seem more concerned about profiting on what is given to them freely, rather than passing on good opportunities to those who really need them!

When my father retired from his high school principal job in 1994, as a family retirement gift, we sent him to Greece to meet family there he had never met & see a family graveyard. It was a trip of a lifetime for him. One of the family members he met was a young great nephew (I think). He was 11 years old & was fascinated with what it was like in America. My father asked him if there was anything he could send him after he returned home, & all he wanted was a Starter jacket. He didn’t care what color, only the fact that it was a Starter branded. Of course, my father got him the most expensive one he could find, thinking it would be the best & the boy was absolutely thrilled. 😊 Seeing Roger find the Starter jacket made me think of this story. Sadly, my father passed from cancer two years after his trip, so the memories from it are very special to my family. ❤
What a great story thanks for sharing and a wonderful gift your Father gave especially when we don't think twice about the access to all of the items like that Starter jacket.
They have real up the prices, several ladies were complaining about the prices and chips, the other stuff as not in good shape, they all ready making 100% , we talked abou not taking our stuff there anymore. They closed down one of our stores, we are very discourage wit goodwill.
We don't have $2 Tuesday but we have 50% off color tag and senior 10% off Tuesday. I KNEW in my heart Goodwill was pulling the color tag. I have asked staff several times why the color tag inventory was so low and their response was that people bought all the items already... don't think so and your vid confirmed my thoughts. Shame on them...
Yes they are.. I caught them just a couple weeks ago pulling the sale tag and hearing the manager directing her employees to do so. I was so disgusted I just left. Now that I hear your comment’s about this it looks like this is a standard policy everywhere. ‘’ would you like to round up”..haha.. never again..
I've always heard Goodwill pulls the sale color tags. Goodwill knows that most shoppers come in thinking they're going to find sale color tag items but usually end up buying other things at non-sale price. It's a bait and switch
I ADORE how you stated the problem with Goodwill pulling the tags that are ON SALE for the day. They could wait ONE day and have a TON of merchandise sold. Terrible and borderline dishonest.
Our goodwill prices are through the roof. At the beginning of the week, their new color starts but there are so few items to choose from. Goodwill is very dishonest.
I’m still shopping there only because my thrifting options are few but the prices are just silly for many of these donated items. A used, twin comforter which was not special at all was 40.00 the other day. I’ll go buy new for that.
the peacock foil container is made in India, technique is called Meenakari , the 590 is the Indian Rupee dollar which the equivalent in U.S. dollars is $7.11 = 590 rupees. these are used as gift containers and held dried fruits. Go to an Indian market and you will find these.
In Phoenix, everything is $1 on Thursday for that sale tag. I buy men's sport coats, shirts, and ties for the homeless for job interviews. A sport coat & necktie really elevates the blue jeans vibe!
All the Goodwills pull their sale tags early. The ones near me in CT start pulling at least 2 days before the sale is over. Very crazy! If they are going to pull them why not put them on separate racks for people to go through easily?
I used to go to Goodwill on Sunday afternoons to scope out the clothing items and had memorized the “color of the week” which begins Monday and ends Saturday. So Monday morning I would get there when they opened. Many times, there was very little “color of the week” when I knew I had been there just the evening before up until closing and there was a LOT. Another time, I got there at opening and they were pulling sweaters with the “color of the week” tag. So yes they DO pull the day of the sale so I am asking….why have a sale then? It was cart after cart of all “color of the week” items. I think they were going to the Goodwill outlet, but why not sell them for $2-$3 instead of by the pound? At least allow the color of the week to end before pulling them!
OMG when Roger blew on the Starter Jacket and all the dust flew off (27:10) I about sneezed!! LOL I've played it over and over again for a good(will) laugh! Have a great time in FL!!
When Bill and I were newlyweds many years ago we would pickup alley or curb discarded furniture and refinish them for our first couple of apartments (speaking of picking up items at the curb). 😊
That bunny cotton ball dispenser is adorable! I have a free roaming, litter trained house rabbit. Of course that means I get giddy over anything that is a bunny!❤
Yes, my fave Jelly Belly is buttered popcorn too. Yum! I think we had a bunny cotton ball dispenser when I was little. Very clever dust insert when Roger blew on the Flyers jacket, Lisa!🎇
Hi 👋, I'm just getting into watching your channel (all weekend). I so love your videos, so much so that I have to force myself to stop and take a break to post some of my items (new seller) or to even cook dinner. I'm learning so much from you ... and Roger. So thank you. ❤ I'll be finishing up this video, then I have to cook, or I'll be eating avocado toast...again. lol
Our Goodwills don’t do color tag discounts and the senior discount is only 5%. For stores that do have color tag discounts, pulling those items is just wrong. 😡
I rarely ever find anything that is the color of the week at Goodwill. It's almost laughable. I do have better luck with Salvation Army because they have 3 colors on sale every week.
Not where I live! The SA's clothing is ridiculously expensive and the name brand clothing is going Somewhere, and to my knowledge the SA doesn't have an online store.
I'm just outside of Nashville. Every week there is a color that is 50% off. Then on Sunday that color goes to 99 cents and a new color is 50% off. But what I've noticed is there are no items with these color tags on the racks. I've been wondering if Goodwill is pulling them and then one day I saw a rack in the store full of those colors that evidently the worker had pulled them and forgot to roll the rack to the back. When I asked the worker why there were no sale tags on the racks. she said people are buying them. Oh contraire.. they're on a rolling rack after being pulled.
You might want to check that again my stories were doing the same thing and now they've taken that away and started doing the previous week's color on Sundays is a dollar
This is how I spend my Thursdays here in AZ. Many stores start pulling their $2 tags on Mondays and re-price them. Several cashiers told me this. I never go to the stores that yank the tags early. Fortunatley there are still stores that don't do this yanking and these are the stores that I'm loyal too.
Today is Sunday and we went to 2 GWs. I was surprised to see a color tag on sale 50% off. We haven't had that for years!! Yesterday was estate sales and we found 1, fill a bag for 10.00. I stuffed it full of vintage books and Xmas wrapping paper, vintage stamps, and my favorite, old buttons. Great shopping weekend! Have a safe trip and TFS Hugs * L
I have long suspected this. There are not that many of the sale tags when I go to the stores, and I think they probably are pulling the sale tags before people can shop. I'd like to have access to the back of the store to challenge them on it.
I would buy the single mug because people break one and look online for replacements 💁♀️ Or, if they love it enough, they'll buy one from you and one from someone else, and make their own set.
Yes, I’ve had a few lovely experiences with people buying replacement mugs and thanking me for having their “favorite” mug available to buy. One in particular, a guy broke his wife’s mug while she was in Europe and he found mine to buy and replace before she returned. Some good memories.
I haven't had a Jelly bean in a long, long time, but I remember loving the apple flavored ones or at least what tasted like apple. The abalone shell box is a beauty, fantastic find.
Our Goodwill trusts in the area are pretty dismal shopping and no $2 days. Everything is broken and way overpriced. It's usually pretty slow for seeing other shoppers. The local ARC was following Goodwill's lead the last few years and lost a lot of business. Most people in the area try to avoid donating either place now. ARC in the last couple of months has started to lower their prices a bit and put out better items that aren't chipped and broken and it's getting busier. ARC is still providing a lot of community services whereas Goodwill has pulled their services and really just has court ordered community service hours peeps working there.
Hello Fellow Coloradoan! I live in in Colorado Springs and it's been busy in both Goodwill and in the Arc over the last few weeks. I went to both a Goodwill and an Arc (west side of C Springs) yesterday and both were busy. Yes, they do the 50% off on all but two tags at Arc on Saturdays but Goodwill was so busy and I had to leave because it is the smallest GW in C Springs. Later I went to an Arc on N. Academy because I had to stop in to Harbor Freight. I walked in and walked right out. The line was so long it was extending to the hard goods.
Frank Shorter is from our community(Taos, NM). He was a long distance runner, a gold and silver medalist in summer Olympics in the 70’s. He’s credited with sparking the interest in running back then.❤
The miniature pool balls do sell fairly quickly, got a set in an estate sale lot for under $1 cost. Sold within a week at $21. Never would have thought they were worth that. Sure wish our GW had $2 Tuesday. Agree with you on the pulling of the tag of the day before the new business day, so ridiculous.
Salvation Army pulls the color of the week too! They take the items to the back room and retag them. I do like the look I get when I find an item they missed, although sometimes they tell me that they can not sell it to me at the discounted price.
Yes, that’s exactly what they do. Whenever I go in there, and there are absolutely no items with that color. I ask them to take the sign down. They never do but…
Frank Shorter was an Olympic runner...late 60's early 70's. He went to the same boarding school I went to (NMH) and we were very proud of him. KMart is STILL in business!!! Great mail order along with Sears their parent company!!!
That’s right. I worked at one too. All the good items went to shop goodwill online auctions. I even looked online to buy bid on 3 different items and they did not put them on to sell. They do not go according to their mission statement says. A lot of stealing and paying very very low prices by management. I will not shop there again.
We don’t have two dollar Tuesday at our Goodwill. And they always bring carts out and pull everything that’s gonna be the next color of the week out of home because our home decor Is never on sale with the tag sale. Heck we can’t even get a scarf on sale. That’s not considered clothing.😂
I saw a worker at GW pulling color of the day tag items and I ask her what she was doing and she said she was making room for more items because the racks were too packed. I shop on Tuesday as I get the 25% off senior discount. In AZ we also have 20% off coupons we can use over and over. I don’t even look for the color tags anymore. I’m always surprised on the rare occasion that I find a discount tag item.
Our goodwills here in Central Florida have a color of the week on sale that changes every Sunday. I have noticed that right before Sunday goodwill employees will change and cover the old tag color on higher- end items to the new color tag so that they are not included in the sale along with anything that has an original price tag affixed to it is priced at half of retail. For example, I saw a set of plates in original box today at our goodwill that had an original price of $29.99 goodwill had them priced at $14.98. Absolutely ridiculous. I will stick to Salvation Army and the local church thrifts.
I went to a Goodwill, that was not the closest, a few towns over. Got up early, stood in the line. And as I was feverishly looking for the sale color, I found an employee pulling all of that color? For the advertised sale tag! I asked if I could go through it, and then the employee put it in the back. And then guess where it all goes? To the outlet/bins.
Goodwill stores in Lexington, KY have been shamelessly pulling the sale color barbs on Mon & Tues for a long time as Monday is the 1st day of the new sale color; I asked an associate why & was told that stores need the space for new inventory at the full price rather than use that space for half price items. It’s very frustrating and feels a bit scammy.
😊The Salvation Army in my hometown has dresses priced at $10.00. Other items are proportionately just as expensive. Maybe the financially disadvantaged receive vouchers in which to buy clothes. I'm just guessing, though.
We don't have a color of the day at the Goodwill stores in my region. The 50% off color tag runs for a whole week and then changes to a different color the next week. Senior Day is Wed (15% off) and they have a monthly customer appreciation day where you can get 15/20/25% off depending on how much you spend plus a 20% coupon for 2 days later. But they do stack multiple discounts so you can get 50% off the color tag of the week plus another 15% off on Senior Day.
Juicy Pear is my fav. I live in the Rogue Valley Oregon & prices here are much higher than where you're at. The blouses are $8.50 & $10.50 and some are priced higher depended on what GW thinks they're worth. Some GW's here have a great price on the shoes & other may be high but be lower on the linens. It's just all over it seems. I stopped donating & used to feel bad, but I feel I give enough with my purchases there weekly & I don't have a clue to where that donated money gets funneled to. These days, everywhere you go, they ask for donations. I do donate to charities, but I really research them first. Long, rant, that's that. lol
Manatee, Sarasota County (FL) Goodwill start on day one of the week's sale! They could pull, then hang on separate rack, then roll away after the week has ended!
I can't remember the brand name of the witch but she looks like the brand that sells for $100 plus. Also, since Kmart closed, people are collecting things specific to Kmart. 590 pesos is about $33
A fascinating vocabulary session for foreign viewers, thank you. 👍 I used to enjoy buying these low pricing items and ended up paying hundreds of dollars in storage rental fees. I had to let go this browsing habit for good. 🕊️✌️
Those jelly belly beans are sneaky. I don’t like them all that much and never buy them, but but feel compelled to eat them if they are in front of me. Of all flavors, I prefer black or licorice beans, but end up eating even the most unappealing flavors too. The little devils 😂
I like to mix Jelly-Belly flavors. Buttered popcorn with chocolate, Coffee with chocolate, Cherry with chocolate. Hmmm. there seems to be a common denominator.

Absolutely. I have seen them pull a pair of cowboy boots out of a woman’s hands yelling that these belong on the on line auction
Goodwill is disgusting! I do not shop with them anymore.

I would buy the single mug because people break one and look online for replacements 💁♀️
Or, if they love it enough, they'll buy one from you and one from someone else, and make their own set.
Shipping one mug makes the sale price much too high for most buyers unless it’s something rare/ valuable

KMart is STILL in business!!! Great mail order along with Sears their parent company!!!
My oldest sons favorite flavor of jelly bean is also buttered popcorn.
Try the butter popcorn taffy!!
That’s right. I worked at one too. All the good items went to shop goodwill online auctions. I even looked online to buy bid on 3 different items and they did not put them on to sell. They do not go according to their mission statement says. A lot of stealing and paying very very low prices by management. I will not shop there again.
Yes they do. Another thrift store I go to has a different trick. They pull the color that is going on sale and change the sticker color.
LOL @Fifty-Six dollars plus Jesus. I cracked up.
We don’t have two dollar Tuesday at our Goodwill. And they always bring carts out and pull everything that’s gonna be the next color of the week out of home because our home decor Is never on sale with the tag sale. Heck we can’t even get a scarf on sale. That’s not considered clothing.😂
We don't even have the color of the week anymore in Mid-Michigan
I saw a worker at GW pulling color of the day tag items and I ask her what she was doing and she said she was making room for more items because the racks were too packed. I shop on Tuesday as I get the 25% off senior discount. In AZ we also have 20% off coupons we can use over and over. I don’t even look for the color tags anymore. I’m always surprised on the rare occasion that I find a discount tag item.
It’s a scam. ☹️
She was pulling them so you couldn't get the sale. I used to work there also and quit.
Always love going along with you on a thrift shopping trip Karen!
Our goodwills here in Central Florida have a color of the week on sale that changes every Sunday. I have noticed that right before Sunday goodwill employees will change and cover the old tag color on higher- end items to the new color tag so that they are not included in the sale along with anything that has an original price tag affixed to it is priced at half of retail. For example, I saw a set of plates in original box today at our goodwill that had an original price of $29.99 goodwill had them priced at $14.98. Absolutely ridiculous. I will stick to Salvation Army and the local church thrifts.
Roger is so cute, when you ask him anything, he has a little smile.
I was laughing when I saw a guy that looked like Roger from the back. LOL
Yes absolutely I have seen them pulling BEFORE THEY GO ON SALE
I went to a Goodwill, that was not the closest, a few towns over. Got up early, stood in the line. And as I was feverishly looking for the sale color, I found an employee pulling all of that color? For the advertised sale tag! I asked if I could go through it, and then the employee put it in the back. And then guess where it all goes? To the outlet/bins.
. Our Goodwill doesnt even do colored tag sales!
Those beautiful liquor decanters are lovely in the bathroom with mouthwash or bubble bath in them.
Buttered popcorn and pear are my favorite flavors of jelly belly beans 🤤🤤🤤
I look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you!
I'm glad you mention this... at my local store they didn't have ANY sale items... i thought it was so odd😮
Favorite JellyBelly - oddly enough, cantaloupe.
Favorite Jelly Belly is Pear! You can have all of my buttered popcorn all day long!
Goodwill stores in Lexington, KY have been shamelessly pulling the sale color barbs on Mon & Tues for a long time as Monday is the 1st day of the new sale color; I asked an associate why & was told that stores need the space for new inventory at the full price rather than use that space for half price items. It’s very frustrating and feels a bit scammy.
The green woven ceramic Italian bowl!!! Yes Please!!!💞💞😎💞💞
You all crack me up!! You saying do you not miss a trick 😂😂😂 I love the popcorn too! My favorite!!!
I loved the bicycle bookends!
Goodwill has become so expensive lately!
😊The Salvation Army in my hometown has dresses priced at $10.00. Other items are proportionately just as expensive. Maybe the financially disadvantaged receive vouchers in which to buy clothes. I'm just guessing, though.
We don't have a color of the day at the Goodwill stores in my region. The 50% off color tag runs for a whole week and then changes to a different color the next week. Senior Day is Wed (15% off) and they have a monthly customer appreciation day where you can get 15/20/25% off depending on how much you spend plus a 20% coupon for 2 days later. But they do stack multiple discounts so you can get 50% off the color tag of the week plus another 15% off on Senior Day.
Juicy Pear is my fav. I live in the Rogue Valley Oregon & prices here are much higher than where you're at. The blouses are $8.50 & $10.50 and some are priced higher depended on what GW thinks they're worth. Some GW's here have a great price on the shoes & other may be high but be lower on the linens. It's just all over it seems. I stopped donating & used to feel bad, but I feel I give enough with my purchases there weekly & I don't have a clue to where that donated money gets funneled to. These days, everywhere you go, they ask for donations. I do donate to charities, but I really research them first. Long, rant, that's that. lol
Manatee, Sarasota County (FL) Goodwill start on day one of the week's sale! They could pull, then hang on separate rack, then roll away after the week has ended!
I can't remember the brand name of the witch but she looks like the brand that sells for $100 plus. Also, since Kmart closed, people are collecting things specific to Kmart. 590 pesos is about $33
A fascinating vocabulary session for foreign viewers, thank you. 👍
I used to enjoy buying these low pricing items and ended up paying hundreds of dollars in storage rental fees. I had to let go this browsing habit for good. 🕊️✌️
St Louis - we have 50% & 75% off days, and I always say "Good luck finding anything decent"😅
Yes they do. Especially on $2 Tuesday. I feel Shillington is the most blantant of my locals
Went thrifting today and heard you in my head taking about the things I was picking up hahahaha
Me too
Another great video! Thanks!
Those jelly belly beans are sneaky. I don’t like them all that much and never buy them, but but feel compelled to eat them if they are in front of me. Of all flavors, I prefer black or licorice beans, but end up eating even the most unappealing flavors too. The little devils 😂
You have great taste!! My favorite is buttered popcorn too!!!
I like to mix Jelly-Belly flavors. Buttered popcorn with chocolate, Coffee with chocolate, Cherry with chocolate. Hmmm. there seems to be a common denominator.
