  • #thriftwithme #shopping #poshmarkseller This particular Goodwill location is surrounded by million and multi-million dollar homes in gated communities and sub- divisions Overland Park, Kansas.
    I walked out empty-handed on this day. But, I love to go in and take a look around in the hope that I'm able to find something they may have missed adding to their online store. It happens on occasion, although rare!

    Goodwill is so greedy. Them putting things for sale online just smacks of greed.

      Agreed! I wish they would just give us the opportunity before placing online. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

    I'm in Florida and they just changed their policy to only three (3) days to return and no trying on clothes. And yes the prices r not great either. Goodwill isn't like it used to be. 😍

    Our Thrift Stores were great, until Covid. We were pretty much in lock down, and people dumped out their homes, and Thrift Stores were loaded with good things. Not so much any more. I found nothing this month so far, and nothing for the 2 months before Christmas. Even the book sections are sparce, now.

      That's exactly how it is here, Marilyn. Pre-covid was so good. This particular location was amazing. January was always my best month thrifting, too. Times have definitely changed. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

    I’ve stopped shopping at Goodwill months ago. This thrift company is NOT a true non-profit. The owner is a multi-millionaire and his company doesn’t help anyone. I also don’t care for them asking at the register to “ round up” as a donation. Since, everything is donated to this company a purchase is truly a donation! Everyone should shop at their local small thrift stores and outreach/mission stores who actually DO help people in your local community.

    • @lifeoflonny

      You're not wrong, Nina. There is nothing more irritating than GW asking for a money donation at the checkout. Nope, not today! I walk out empty-handed most days. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

      As always, the bad apples spoil things for everyone else. In Canada our Value Village US Savers counterpart), is definitely NOT a charity store. Huge profits with minimal donations. The prices in all these Thrift stores everywhere is crazy high now!

    • @lifeoflonny
      @lifeoflonny  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Tracey, the prices are outrageous! I just don't understand it. I've published a Savers video, and the prices were higher than antique store prices. Pure corporate greed! Thank you so much for watching ☺️

    Most people with expensive homes do not think of recycling. You would have better luck going through their trash; there are videos on TH-cam to show this.
    Also, Goodwill now keeps the “good stuff” and sells it on eBay.

    Our Goodwill stores transfer merchandise to other Goodwill stores. They have their own tractor trailers & they haul merchandise to various stores to see if it’ll sell at a different location. The Goodwills I used to find really quality items at no longer have that stock. A lot of it is because the resellers go in every morning & buy up everything they can possibly resell.

    • @lifeoflonny
