    I dont know. Do I even want to donate to Goodwill when I realize the prices they are asking and because of that people might not buy and it all-ends up in a landfill? It would be better to advertise a free garage sale and let people use it and yes, let resellers sell it and let them build their small businesses

      Our local Saint Vincent DePauls in our Pittsburgh area are a lot more reasonable in their pricing and the proceeds go to a worthy cause. Don’t know if they’re in your area though.

      A thrift store near me is run by volunteers and their profits go to the breast cancer wing of a local hospital.

    Goodwill used to be a special place to find items especially for low income families. I stopped shopping there after they started jacking up the prices. I also stopped donating to them and started donating to our church programs.

      @irenemorley75 14 днів тому

      Yes some of our charity shops in the UK are over priced, when you buy something they also want to keep hold of your change as well, I told them to stop being rude, if it's not enough that I went in there in the first place to support the charity then just give me my cash back .......I also stopped donating to charity's after going in with hundreds of pounds worth of stuff and didn't even get as much as a thank you, I give to friends or do a car boot sale and pocket the cash myself seeing as I paid for it in the first place, yes you're church sounds like a better option .👍🙏🤗

    Grew up at the beach. My brother and I would collect shells and coral and glue them on tissue boxes and sell them. LOL! I love your green shelf and peg board. I definitely would have snatched that Currier & Ives coffee tin. Have a whole collection of Currier & Ives blue dishes and have now started collecting the tin display items with the homestead theme.

    I am SO happy to see another Video! I have been binge watching your channel since I found it a little over 2 weeks ago. Today we found 2 Large Mantle Shelves at Good Will that are similar to the one you thrifted a while back and needless to say I was Thrilled. Thank you SO MUCH for the inspiration and letting us tag along. Even my 5 year olds daughter loves going to hunt for 'treasures' and it's. Something we have been doing as a family, thanks to your inspiration! Be Blessed In Jesus Name and thank you again.

      They are outrageous here in NC as well. Some things shocked me greatly. I guess it's everywhere and that's really sad. Even books started at 2.49 and some were from the dollar tree. Goodwill also has taken away all the discounts, such as Military and even seniors. Kind of sad.
      Maybe one day things will get better.

    I hardly go to Goodwill anymore and don’t donate there either. I donate to a Humane Society thrift store, a Kiwanis thrift store and a church thrift store and those are mostly the ones I shop at. Also a teen challenge thrift store that helps kids. Absolutely love how you up cycled your finds. The shell box is so pretty! Absolutely love the shelf and rack that you painted green! So pretty! Now I am looking for those two items too! Love the scripture at the end of every video! ♥️

I actually did a cubby that I had that my brother built me 30 years ago and we had it like a country blue for 20 years and I just painted it green in a white room with some black trim and it pops I totally love the green.., it’s like a sage green type. It’s very lovely.

    I would say that cobalt blue mason jar is definitely vintage… I don’t have a time frame… some date back to the 1850s… I would say this one is early to mid 1900s
    I have the entire set of the copper canister you picked up. Bought the whole set off fb marketplace for $15. I absolutely love the set…
    Edit- the prices seem to be going up for the vintage stuff they know people want right now… my fave thrift store is usually pretty well priced (except for furniture)… but when someone is pricing that KNOWS it’s vintage- they’ll mark the item up to $8…

    Good to know that the thrift prices have gone up everywhere and not just in my location. It’s good to know that many are buying second hand and not just tossing items. But I’m curious if/when this bubble will burst. Is it just a trend in fashion for some, or is this the new way to shop going forward. ?? I only shop second hand for myself and not to resell. I like the uniqueness and character that it brings to my home. I’m not cookie cutter, finding similar/same items in other’s homes.

    Everyone across the states Is complaining about Good Wills prices being so high! The Good Will in my area really don't carry much but clothes and a little junk, nothing of any interest, so i don't even go there. I haven't been in almost 2yrs. They've probably gone up in pricing too 🤷‍♀️ I totally agree, You can get a brand new mug cheaper or around the same price lol 🤦‍♀️ There was A blue & white piece you kind of tilted over & looked at just before you picked up the starfish, a man & a horse and carriage.. my dad gave me that same piece when i got my first place on my own. Lord I wish I still had it🥹, its a vintage piece now. I love picking up little wooden shelves, i have them all around the house and quite a few in my decor storage.. some need a makeover, and i really don't have room to hang anymore.. but hope to be moving to a bigger home soon🙏 That one is really nicely made. I wish we had a Salvation Army here, i like going to the ones in Florida when I'm down there! I love & collect antiques, primitive pieces, vintage & Victorian pieces.. love old things! That cradle was precious😊 The corbles were pretty, just needed a paint job.. good price too. They had lots of pretty art. Loved the brass carafe!! I have a copper one just like that one! I have 2 silver ones that are just the pots with no base. The box turned out so cute! And I love the shelf, that green is the perfect color! Thanks for sharing, I truly enjoyed😊

    I don't think they price our coffee mugs quite that high, but I could be wrong. We also get a 20% coupon for a $20 and over purchase in email every month, I have heard not all states do that. There are some things they price really, really high, though. I found two beautiful Anthropologie glasses in there a few weeks ago, they wanted $17 each! I realize they are nicer brand, but that's ridiculous, imo.

    Prices at Goodwill in Illinois are very high. I now buy on senior day or only items that are half off. I love to look, but many trips I end up buying nothing. Beautiful old dishes are hard to find, and I suspect they are sent to a warehouse to be sold on their auction site. Greed has taken over.

    The Goodwills in Florence SC has gone crazy with their pricing. You can buy brand new cheaper in some instances. Personally I don't understand when they don't buy their merchandise. It is given to them free,

    With rent, energy cost, wages going up you should expect their prices going up too. I to wish the prices could be lower .

    GE prices are high. I see they are at your store just as they are at mine. I don't have a Salvation Army Thrift Store near me, though $2.99 for that schoolhouse lamp shade was very reasonable..

    It’s a shame Goodwill have doubled their prices, I would donate my things to my church. Mind you, it’s the same in England, we have what you would call charity shops, Goodwill’s equivalent, and they have raised their prices as well. And the charity shops wonder why they’ve lost customers! It’s cheaper to get it new!
    It’s a shame,since I bought some really nice things there in the past.

    I was at goodwill yesterday and saw a half roll of one quarter inch ribbon and Goodwill wanted $6.00 for it, the original price on the roll showed 1.99. Even more unbelievable was I went to JoAnn today, which is usually pretty high priced, and a brand new roll was only 3.99. How can Goodwill have higher prices than JoAnn and for half the product and asking $5 more than the original price?

    I agree the price are the same or more than department stores prices. And the worker pick through the good then leave the broken stuff. I’m Like who going to buy that the poor and needy! Give it to a church or yard sale! They’re ripping the poor off with item they got for free!

    My Goodwill has become outrageous on their prices. It’s all donated items. Someone I know called our corporate office and they were told that they are now out to make as much profit as they can. They also sell almost nothing as a set, even salt and pepper shakers! They are charging about $4.99 EACH. I will now donate to other thrift stores and not Goodwill.

    That flower pot at 1:20 retailed for 6,99 $? In Germany you would have paid 40 $ ..at least ..

    Goodwill prices are crazy! ALL of the stuff they sell is donated - FREE! I get upset every time I go in their stores! Then they ask if you want to round up to the next dollar amount for training of their employees!! I no longer donate to them, but to the smaller thrift stores. Cindi (from WV)😮😮

    Not only is Goodwill receives merchandise for free, their employees are doing community time from court orders. This company is making a high % yield.

    Goodwill in my town has really raised their prices, too. I also get so frustrated with how it's always a mess. I wonder what quality of training & guidance they provide their "staff with challenges". I get the color isle concept. But I shouldn't find a single shoe, toys, electronics stashed in dishware. Work ethic is crucial in all business by all staff, and if this is a first job for someone, why not teach them work ethics?
