Goodwill International CEO is Steven Preston. Look up his salary. They also have to pay the CEO’s of each state and district salary. The employees make minimum wage. The items are donated. I am DONE with Goodwill. Yard sales may be inconvenient, but at least I see the people who are actually getting my money.
Taking my things to DAV and Salvation Army.❤️
They have the employees trained to ask you if you want to round up to the nearest dollar!!! I never buy their clothes. On Sundays the color of the week is ninety -nine cents! There's never anything on the racks!!!! 😕
Right??? Then they have the nerve to ask you to "round up" to help fund job training for their employees.😡
None of that is true. Those are all just rumors that started going viral about 10 years ago. The one CEO who makes that amount is in charge of Goodwill International, which is not directly associated with Goodwill. Each area of Goodwill stores is managed by a different staff, including the CEO.
New employees might start making minimum wage, but I'm not sure what's wrong with that. Many areas pay above minimum wage right from the start. All employees get raises just like employees who work anywhere else. Here in California, Goodwill employees start at $17/hr.!!
Goodwill was created to provide employment, not to sell things at cheap prices. The mission statement is:
1. Provide employment to those who might not otherwise find employment elsewhere.
2. Support local free programs, like culinary school, cosmetology school, workforce programs, etc.
3. Keep things out of the landfill.
@@TammyGaines-t4mThere's nothing wrong with that. The extra change goes directly to support local free programs and is optional. That's how many employees got their start.
That painting was of Raggedy Ann. She was one of my favorite dolls growing up. Waaaaay before your time 😊
I used to go to GW weekly. I hardly ever go now. Their pricing has become ridiculous!!
Just wanted to say thank you Julie for sharing videos with us. I only sub to YT, so it's fun for me to watch. 😊
Same here. I rarely go to Goodwill any more. Their prices are ridiculous. Sometimes they are even higher than the original brand new price at the store. I do go to Salvation Army and local thrift stores. The Salvation Army does help people. I believe Goodwill is for profit and enriches the CEO.
The prices have gone up because of all the flippers and re-sellers from what I've heard...All of the videos out there have actually hurt the buyers.. The flipping should have been kept a secret I guess. You have to bring your own BAGS, no lie, they don't wrap or bag a thing in Sault Ste Marie, Mi.
I really liked the white pitcher with 🌷 on the side. It's at 3:22.
I feel like prices have gone up across all places, goodwill, salvation army, voa. Its to the point where they are becoming the same price as something new, at least for clothes and housewares
Oooo I saw a brown butter dish by the dishes
I have not seen this video before. If it was posted it was a long time ago. And I watch Julie's videos almost everytime she posts.
Agreed
I'm also having a hard time buying anything at GW because of the prices. . They even pull the really good stuff for their on-line store. It's super hard to find any bargains anymore. So sad 😢
I can’t believe the chairs and I was thinking the same thing it’s crazy the decor can be more expensive than some of the furniture.
I know some of this video was used in part of your recent thrift flips but it was fun to tag along for the rest of what you got that day.
This is how it started at the GW here and it’s remained crazy priced
Stop shopping and donating to GOODWILL! Hopefully, Goodwill will get the message!
@@tonicamp7069 yes I donate to a women’s substance abuse center after reading the executive salaries posted Dec., 2023 online
Drop leaf table and those 2 chairs would be great together. Sharon in Texas
Yep! Both had French legs-I noticed it too. I bet they were donated together. I wish I had the table and chairs.❤
There's a few GW's that receive 🎯 markdowns that didn't sell.
The little stuff is expensive my goodness what is this world coming to used stuff is expensive that is shameful happy hunting for the less expensive things 😊❤
I no longer go to Goodwill shops, and haven't in a long time. The fact they are making money off of Donated Items, and only pay employees mínimum wage, makes me sick!!!
Definitely have to shop the color tags for the day to get good deals at 50% off
I noticed my Goodwill has really gone up on clothing. I watched other thrifting videos and they been having the same issues. It’s because the stores are finding out people are thrifting and reselling so they are increasing the prices. I’ve seen some videos they won’t even sell to the person they refuse if they are reselling. I’m sorry but if ur buying and paying it’s not their business. But that is why things are going up in price. My Goodwill and Saint Vincent has even went so far to take name brand clothing items like Niki, Adidas etc pull them and separate and really price high never did before. Which is a little suspicious.
I don't shop at GW anymore , it's been a year now .
Rerun
I think you probably saw her styling some of these items on her other channel and she showed herself buying these items, mainly the basket with the flowers in it and the little cement vessels. I don’t think this particular video is a repeat.
😂lol 😊😂
I’ve seen that here to and prices still going up too
The prices are almost comparable to Ross on some items.
My local GW has crazy pricing and is so disorganized that I don't shop there anymore...also don't donate to them.
I think good wills forgets that they are a thrift store
Seriously. 😢
And that everything they are selling was free to them!
It's a non-profit organization that was created to provide employment to those who might not otherwise find employment elsewhere. It also supports local free programs and keeps things out of the landfill. There are TONS of great deals at Goodwill, as you've seen many times over on this channel.
@@VioletJoy You make good points! I am an avid Goodwill doner and shopper. I will always support organizations who help those who are trying to go forward when even under the best circumstances - life is hard.

@@yellowbird2157 I really appreciate the reply!! I love to support Goodwill and other organizations. My husband worked for Goodwill for 10 years, and I learned so much about the organization. He was the IT Director. I know firsthand that the senior staff makes less than they would make doing the same job elsewhere.
Hopefully goodwill will start lowering their prices. I rarely go there anymore
The pricing at Goodwill has just become so CRAZY over the past couple years. I hardly go anymore because it is just so ridiculous! I guess they think we are dumb!!
Goodwill prices have gotten too high. I do not go there as much as
I used to
I try this time of year to over use garage sales until there isn't any but thrifting has changed so badly in last 2yrs not much fun anymore
❤
When I see pricing like that, I ask for a new lower price and I give them a suggested lower price. I think it’s ridiculous
I can’t believe they have growing pots for that price and left the $.59 price tag on there. Also, I can’t believe they are selling a dead plant!! Very sad!!
So ridiculous that GW would price items higher than retail!😡😡
Maybe GW got wind of people thrifting to make money of their small items and decided no more. 🤔
But leaving an original price tag at $6 and putting a price higher than the original NEXT to it is ridiculous!
If so, that decision was still born out of greed. Most of the things I find now are cheap, made in China JUNK. If someone can actually find a bit of treasure at GW, more power to them. There isn't enough of that to justify their greed IMO
Again this is a rerun.. saw those cement planters before. What do you do clip and snip to put a video together?
I did too but not on this site. It was on FB but not everyone follows her on all her sites so for those that only follow her here, they get to see it too. I watched it again and enjoyed it as much as the first time.
@@jo-annwentzell3733 I don’t watch her in FB. It was in this site.
Why are you acting like she's done something wrong? There are so many different platforms you can see these videos. She also does the Shorts, FaceBook, etc. This is a channel where people are friendly and support each other. The world is hateful enough-we don't need any more of it!
If you all boycott, things may change. But they seem to be catering to those resellers and they pay it.
Well I have seen this one. Goodwill stinks! They are a thrift store that is pricing themselves out of “thrift”. I don’t go in Goodwill stores anymore.
I think this old video
At least the basket with the hydrangeas was in a resent video😮
I think you probably saw her styling some of these items on her other channel and she showed herself buying these items, mainly the basket with the flowers in it and the little cement vessels. I don’t think this particular video is a repeat.
I thought so too!
Repeat! Hydrangeas go on coffee table in basket at her house
Yes I remember the cement mini urns
Older
I’m getting tired of the old videos coming out as new.

Yes, Goodwill has always been for profit. I hear so many people shocked and amazed that they have raised their prices, yet everyone has a youtube video of how you are making money flipping your " Goodwill" finds. I guess everyone wants to make money not just CEOs.
It is wrong to charge prices that are higher than what they were to begin with. I see this a lot!
Omg 😳 cheap that is so cheap for furniture 🪑 Texas goodwill are wayyyyy higher priced 😮however the glassware Knick knacks too much $
Goodwills in Desoto Co. Mississippi have raise their prices way too high !!!!
You already posted some of this video recently. In fact you showed us how you washed the flowers and styled the basket with the white flowers. 🙄
This actually turned out comical, sad price wise, but comical. A dead tree?!
Why do you keep posting the same videos?
Why why why!!!!???
The word thrift is in the name of her account lol
Maybe she is on vacation. I imagine it would be hard to post all the time and some people will watch her . Maybe she will pop up on someone’s feed. Who knows but I am giving her the benefit of the doubt. ❤❤❤
Money, money, money…of course
Repeat video, dont mind repeats but put replay in the title at least
You have already shown this video

Those chairs would $25 each at my goodwill. 😢
Little urns are cute 😊
They need to school their employees! Charging more than the original price?! I’d make a complaint or at least say something to the manager.
I've pointed it out at mine in north Louisiana-they shrug their shoulders and said, "oh well, nothing I can do about it."
@@LaLadybug2011 Same in small town NC. The love of money is the root of all evil, indeed.
Did you post the wrong shopping trip I have seen this?
Julie’s really getting into the habit about showing old videos and showing them as just dropped🤨🤨🤨

@patdrenowatz8773 she needs to stop.... either don't post or post new videos. I get excited when she posts and what a letdown when it's a "rerun"
I think she used a segment of this to do a thrift flip.
@@wandabeal1414nope, it was this whole Video
This is a new video.. she has more than one TH-cam.. she did a thrift flip with some of these finds.. it came out before this video. She has Julie's designs and signs where she does the thrift flips..
Thank you for explaining.
Nope this whole Video was posted a week or so ago on you tube, only one I watch
@@summerrose4978 OK?? What's the big deal?
Parts of previously shown videos, disappointing
