    Many years ago I used to go to one GW store that, believe it or not I would find exactly what I needed there. My Lhasa was 16, and blind. I was thinking it would sure be nice if I could find some kind of a buggy to get her out safely for fresh air, sunshine and wind in her face.
    What I walked up to in the aisle was a brand new in the box pink doggy stroller. The price was $25.00. I bought it. I saw later that it sold on line for $75.00. Best thing I ever found there.

    Another one in the bag! Great video Mikey! I always do the GDubs Wally World comparisons. Always showing my kids their money can go a lot further for quality items at GDubs vs WW.
    Might want to check out the hen on nest at timestamp 28:28. Not sure if it was ceramic or slag, but these little guys sell well for me. I imagine a red one would do well.
    Thanks Mikey!!

    You hit the nail on the head when you said Goodwill return policy is suspect …. As in non existent …. But I think it depends who you are because I’ve watch them return stuff for people they stand there talking to as they create a long line. Walmart on the other hand you can return no problem.
    Often especially when seasons change like after Christmas you can get great deals at WM. This past weekend they had 3 racks in the main aisle on clearance for $1 and $3. It looked like they found a big box of shorts in the back in women’s plus size $1 each. Camo pants were $3. Only time you see $1 on clothing at GW is on $1 Monday color of the day. Jeans at GW are often $10 up to $24.
    Brand new vs used, return vs non return able, stain free vs you better get the magnifying glass out. I do shop thrift shops when I really like what I’m looking at.

    Back in the day, my son had just landed a tech job in Seattle and needed some new clothes for his job. He didn’t have any money, so we drove to Seattle and went to Value Village. His girlfriend turned up her nose at that bc she only shopped at Nordstrom’s. When we got back to their place and she saw all the brand name clothes he got for about $100, she was amazed. She decided she should check out VV.

    Its really not fair to compare Wal-Mart to Good will prices because if you buy a used Coffee maker you need to spend another 5.00 worth a vinegar to clean and at walmart you have warranty. I am not a big Wal-Mart fan or even goodwill fan. I do enjoy Amazon.

    Those shoes weren't $.99. They were $9.99. Some of those prices are ok and some I would never pay, like $25 for a used pair of shoes that they got FOR FREE! Our local thrift store had a treadmill priced at $1,500!!! I couldn't believe it! And some of the prices of the larger items and things they think are "vintage" can be absolutely insane. Just gotta know a good price when you see one. Keep up the great work!

    Goodwill can be better, IF you can find your size. Big IF. As a woman who wears tall or tall plus shirts, I don't even look. Pants aren't much better; if you wear a larger or odd size, there aren't any. Size 12 new sneakers, womens Narrow ... forget it. Medically they have to be new. No option. No point looking in Wal-Mart either. I've literally walked out of Medium flats before. My foot lifted off of the floor and the shoe didn't. Most thrifts get very few 10s, and forget anything bigger. I buy from smaller thrifts on bag day and pray something in the bag fits.

    27:44 You can find great deals. We found my husband and son suits for my son's wedding at Goodwill for less than 10.00 each. We also found some at
    another thrift store for the same price. In the stores, they were
    almost 200.00 each. However, other clothing is going up as well 28:36 . It was 5 years ago for the suits. Wal-Mart's prices are going up as well. You are correct about the quality of Wal-Mart products...not very good.

    People pricing at Goodwill may not know their brands. You would have to go to Walmart see what they have and what brands. You could when shopping at Goodwill, look up brands for pants you like. Walmart clothes would be good to buy if you have a dollar day sale. Macy's brands at Goodwill would be good, if their in Good condition.
