Not all Goodwill stores are the same do they have one thing in common stuff. If you need some stuff this is the place for you. When one enters a Goodwill Store one shouldn't be looking for something but look at everything. You never know what you just might find. Because they depend on donations you never know what you may find. I once found a Le Corbusier chair for $12. It is always a crap shoot. Look at everything and you just may find something. Personally I tend to avoid certain sections of a Goodwill. I never look at shoes or under things. Somethings are just taboo. The toy section also freaks me out. Now the dish section is always a lot of fun as well as the book section.
Goodwill Industry the parent company is a really big business. The executives make the same kinds of salaries as any large business does. The hierarchy has declared war on smaller charities and their collection boxes. The clothing donated to Goodwill that doesn't get sold in their stores is eventually sold off to companies that in turn resell it for several times more than they have paid for it in third world countries.
So there is a double headed coin aspect to Goodwill. It is a great place for finding a bargain at times but it isn't all rosy.
