Goodwill Store and Donation Center — Local services in Farmington

An update years later… I stopped by today and the store looked good. But I found several dollar tree items marked higher than dollar tree pricing. I haven’t donated to goodwill because of your goodwill. I’m glad we only spent maybe 5 minutes in the store before I pointed out the dollar tree items for twice the price. Then I went to dollar tree and bought them.

Pricing is getting outrageous, most of the clothes have stains. They took the dressing rooms out, so you can’t buy any clothes on sale to try on at home or you can’t return them. No more goodwill for me.

Edit: Once the prices go up just as high as the item brand new, the store has no business being open. Employees make minimum wage when the owner is a millionaire. You’re scamming people, and like I said when the store actually has a sale where you can find a good deal, your dressing rooms were taken out so we can’t even try a pair of pants on. So if they’re on sale and you get home and they don’t fit, tough luck… you can’t take them back. Right now Walmart has LEVI JEANS FOR $11 on sale. The EXACT SAME PAIR in your store THAT HAS STAINS ON THEM are $10. I’ll spend $1 more and get a brand new pair that I can try on before I buy them. It’s too bad, the thousands I’ve donated even donated to your adult schooling in PoplarBluff, and you try to scam people.

Edit: I went in to look for a picture frame. I found a MASON JAR WITHOUT A LID FOR $12. $12!!!!!! They’re at hobby...

Entirely too overpriced and its somehow gotten worse. Today was the last straw for me. $17 for used kids shoes, $75 for some small desktop wooden drawers (they had 2, 75 bucks a piece 😂🤣). My favorite was the random baseball cards sitting in a ziploc behind the glass counter, $8 bucks. I figured, maybe there'd be some decent cards in there being the price was $8, but thats what I get for thinking. Opened the ziploc and there were just 9 random nobody players in there, not even worth 50 cents. Its laughable. Whoever makes these prices have zero clue what they are doing. Today was my last trip to this store as I will never, ever waste my time going to this goodwill...

I go to Goodwill to shop because I'm on a fixed income, the prices for their vused items are now more than something new from discount stores, which I can't afford and the reason I used to go to Goodwill in the first place. $21.00 for a pair of used jeans? All because it's trendy for people who can afford to shop elsewhere to show off what they brought at Goodwill. I mean, I'm all about finding a bargain and I don't blame the bargain hunters, I blame Goodwill for hiking up the prices so much that the people who used to HAVE to shop there, can't even afford it. Shame on you Goodwill, I thought you were established to help the underprivileged not...
