Goodwill Industries Thrift Stores

If you are into thrifting, vintage shopping or designing on a dime this is definitely a shot for hidden treasures. They can be pricey for donated items but I consider it my philanthropic contribution to mankind unless I know I can buy it knew for the same price. I do a lot of furniture for repurposing so this is a go to place for me. Of the locations I’ve visited around the area I like Millington the best.

I always find some nice clothing at Goodwill. Today my kids, my mother-​in-​law, and I went to look around. We found some cute clothes for my daughter. I wish they had more items for my son but boys are rougher on clothing and I am very picky.
They do have a wide variety of items. It’s interesting to see what all they have.
The only thing I wish was better since this is Goodwill and not a high end thrift store is that I wish the store was cleaner.
The people working there were very polite and helpful. I will definitely shop there many more times in the future.

Love this place. I have been many times and this Goodwill usually has something that I go in to look for. Huge variety. Some of my favorite clothes came from here. And they have fitting rooms! I think most Goodwills offer this though. What sets it apart are the employees.
Employee friendliness has mostly been great. Especially the last few times I have visited, the cashiers up front are very sweet and friendly. Never really interacted with the ones on the floor much.

The goodwill store is way overpriced, the real bargains are next door at the bargain barn!

Went to Good Will on Stage Rd in Memphis today. They had a broken item for sale. It was priced higher, in broken condition, than any other Good Will in the area would have priced it in good condition. I talked to the manager. He told me if it weren’t broken it would be 3 times the price. Is it me or is this Good Will branch a ripoff. They have items on display with print offs from eBay auctions, saying the items are worth some inflated price. If you go to eBay, these items are far less than what they have print offs showing and far less than what Good Will is asking. Makes me wonder if they don’t post the items themselves at an inflated price and print off the auction, just to post it in the store. Compared to other stores in the area, this one apparently needs a management overhaul. Other than that it’s a good facility!

I visit this thrift often and the nearby SA. While a bit dirtier, unorganized and pricier I can usually find a Coach bag, a few books or china when I go.

I now come here to buy clothes for my baby. This Goodwill has at 6 racks of infant clothes (newborn to 24 months) and they are all 99 cents a piece. The clothes I buy either still have the tags on them or look brand new. Best Goodwill in the area, IMHO.

They’re really good about helping you drop off your goods. You just pull up and people are waiting there and they’ll give you your tax slip.
The place is pretty large and I agree with C.S., you just kind of have to look around and prices will be what they’ll be.
I’ve found a slew of cardigans at the Goodwill that have lasted me years, which I have in turn, brought back to Goodwill. I have literally spent three hours rooting around, trying to find those prized things that were once another person’s junk. I love that kind of a thing. And I love a good deal.

If you can stand the smell then this place will reward you with a large and always changing selection of books.
GW has a great selection of used books. Most in excellent condition but some as ratty as you might expect discarded books to be. A hardcover book is usually priced at $ 2.99 but there doesn’t seem to be any consistent pricing policy here. Sometimes there will be a book with one price and an identical book right next to it with a different price.
Also, be sure to go around the side to the Bargain Barn (we call it «The Secret Door»). Believe it or not it is GW’s discount outlet. Everything in bins so you have to sift through a bunch of stuff (sometimes pretty nasty), but hardcover books that didn’t sell in time in the store are cast-​off here and are sold for $ 1.00 each. Bring hand sanitizer.
And for you thrift store types, this is a huge (think Home Depot sized) collection of stuff… dare I say junk? Clothes, shoes, housewares, furniture, wall hangings, or anything else you bargain hunters covet.
