    Goodwill prices have gotten so over the top, that I go there, but seldom buy anymore.
    The only way to stop these exorbitant fees is to stop buying. Maybe they will get the message. After all, these are donated items out of grandma's attic, and they are not a high end antique store. They are a thrift store and they need to be reminded of that!

    Normally I don't bash Goodwill. They are trying to make as much money as they can to fund their programs. But this store has gone off the rails with the pricing. Hopefully they will dial it back a bit when they see people not buying. I think too often someone in the back room is looking at auction listings and doesn't realize the local market can't support those kind of prices.

    Hi Nicole!!
    I always love to see a post from you! 🥰
    I adore the beautiful square pottery bowl that you found at Good Will. How beautiful! Who wants a perfectly made bowl, anyway?? It shows that it was made with someone’s hands when it’s not quite perfect and how absolutely wonderful is that!! 💟
    I’ve never seen a snow baby that was anything but Christmas related so that little piece is adorable and it’s so sweet that you found that to brighten up Molly’s bathroom!
    When we lived in our old farmhouse, we only had one tiny bathroom for the SIX of us and I had a wicker shelf much like that one behind the door, next to the shower/bathtub that was invaluable to us!! It held a multitude of baskets of necessary items for us! Below it, I kept a large, tall, handmade, very strong oak basket with a lid,(all very unusual, made by a local artist) that was always full of extra supplies needed for our tiny space. It was a real challenge but we somehow made it work…3 sons, one daughter, farm family!! Lots of showers and dirty towels!! ♥️🎶🥰
    That little shelf brought back some memories…thank you…😘

    Nice video. I think those prices are way too high. I thought ours in the Chicago burbs were high, but not compared to yours. I think maybe because they barely have anything there. Our shelves are packed and stacked from front to back and the workers there are adding to the shelves all day. Carts are brought out and people sort through before it even hits the shelves. Goes on like that all day, every day..don’t ask me how I know, LOL. We get so much and never a bare spot on the shelf. I like watching goodwills from other places to see how different it is and the different things people donate.

    What is going on with Goodwill pricing. It was so much better when you went in there and got a cup for a dollar or 50 cents. At the Goodwill I go to in my hometown in Pennsylvania they want a pair of jeans for $7.49 and there's no way I'm paying that price for a pair of used jeans. Tops are up to $6.99. if I'm going to pay that kind of prices at a used store I'm going to go buy new

    I had a memory flashback. Back in the sixties and seventies the local catholic church held a fair to raise money. The had booths for games. One such game was the China toss where you toss nickels and win dish ware. They mainly used mismatched donated dishes and restaurant ware. We would proudly bring home a cup or a plate. When you tried to grab the stack of saucers it brought back that memory.

    Wow your prices are almost as high as California. I don't do goodwill much anymore when you can buy new cheaper, like the lemon plates, or for just a few dollars more. Plus we seldom get anything good. They don't sell linens, no furniture any more, and the shelves of plates, glasses, and goods like that are probably ten feet long at best. 👍💕

    Goodwill really needs to tone it down a bit. People are not going to pay those prices, especially in this economy. Tony loves Transformers too. I think those banks were $10 new at Walmart. I love clocks too. I do wish you lived closer. We have so much in common. Our Salvation Army has decided to go insane with furniture prices. I kid you not that they had a piece for $700. Great pickup on the shelf. Nice finds.

    Hi, unfortunately goodwill has caught onto the resellers, so basically reseller shopping doing videos, showing what they pay and what they’reselling it for Goodwill is increasing their prices and basically going to put resellers out of business which is unfortunate because everybody needs to make a living, …. The major difference is Goodwill gets everything donated they make 1000% profit on every single little item they sell that’s greed for you ❤️
