Goodwill Southern California Store & Donation Center — Local services in La Puente

I hadn't been to a thrift store in years, probably more than a decade. I am definitely a thrifty shopper and I LOVE a good deal, but in all honesty, wearing someone else's clothes, someone that I know nothing about, always creeped me out a bit.

For what Idk I had my 5 yr old my wallet & my phone no purse. Then I had found an item that did not have the tag but had the plastic on it. Which were WHITE the color of the week. So today would have 5p% off. But yet when I asked for a price she dId oh that's Purple its Supposed to be Purple. Which provesmy theory right about them changing the tickets to what they want full price for when the color changes. How can something that has a tag but no price all of a sudden be a different...
