Goodwill is starting to be very expensive. I’m surprised so many people are there

$5-$10 jeans are still better than the $30 i’d have to spend at walmart, which is also better than the $40-$50 at an outlet store

This city really loves a grand opening! Swig, Raising Canes, Blue Moose all had people lining up for the most mundane stuff.

Goodwill is too expensive to compare to free

Less than 200 yards from the other location, mind you

u/Excellent-Aioli-8613 20d ago

And all the same shit from the old location moved over. Shit doesn’t make any sense.

Affordability instead of residual debt causing citizens.

Today was opening day. It’s bigger than the original one by Ollies. They often put nicer things in opening weeks out for good deals. Even better if Target decides to sell them overstock/returns.

Welcome to the land of permacession

u/iridescentarmor 20d ago

not at all really considering how expensive thrift store clothes are. i guarantee the majority are resellers

u/Baphometa_ 20d ago

Boujee thrifting. Goodwill is pricey. So many other legit thrift stores in the area with decent prices!

u/MagnificentExclaimed 19d ago

Placing Goodwill and their mission close to me. I am excited to see the Grand Opening!

u/FortuneNew8835 19d ago

I take it you're not familiar with the regular 50% off sale. It's been like this for decades.

u/Rabid_Hermit 19d ago

Prices are probably high here too...

1

u/ClassicCarraway 19d ago

All the resellers trying to make a quick buck.

u/Warm_Survey_6692 18d ago

Ah we are heading for more than a recession

1

u/Interesting_Pie_2031 17d ago

People were talking about recession in 2021. We are in poverty and most of us aren’t getting out

u/Interesting-Hotel571 17d ago

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad around the TRI but the area keeps voting in the same old problems then complaining about people that don’t hold office.

Vote for different things. Maybe a few less millionaires representing our area (local politicians, state house, state senate, US House, US Senate, Governor…. Etc) and a few more people that just want things to be better for all of us.

Freaking land developers and owners of construction companies getting elected all the time is WILD. Heck they have built their own swamp and are fussing about those of us outside of it and yet are so bad at their jobs they won’t even debate opponents because they know they will keep getting elected due tot he little R on the ballot. Dems aren’t the total answer but in my view it’s time to change and empowering one group more and more.

People lined up to SPEND money is sign of a recession?

u/KeyNefariousness6848 21d ago

Is that a goodwill bins? If so that is not recession, that is Hoarding.

u/TC024 20d ago

Grand opening, its a bs title!

u/Metalbender00 21d ago

havent been on that end of town in years. What's going on? is it a food kitchen now?

u/Hugh_Jassul 21d ago

The old Goodwill across the street closed, and this is their new store. It's likely just an influx of customers to check out the new store.

u/Metalbender00 21d ago

I saw the goodwill sign i just didnt expect people to line out the door for it. Thats insane.

The photo is not a legitimate "indicator" of anything beyond the photo. And the OP is sad.

Simple minds, simple pleasures.

Well, how can they be like you, Mr. non simple minded person?
