The cleaners wanted $15 to clean my suit.
So, I donated it to Goodwill.
They pressed it and cleaned it and put it in their window.
I bought it for $4.50.

That would work if one of the workers don’t take it home first.

I like that a lot!!!! Smart man.

but then it smelled like good will for 5 years

first thing I have to do with anything good will is wash it 3-4 times to get the smell out.

why does every place have to stink it up

Why?
People dragging in clothes that need cleaned.

Goodwill; as my mom used to say, "the smell of poverty".

Goodwill smells that way because the homeless trade out their clothes. Don’t ever buy anything that isn’t tagged lol

Screw some of yall. Stop being jerks.
Theres nothing wrong with goodwill.

I buy alot of good stuff from there.

They serve alot of people by offering good things cheaper than the stores..

Our local goodwill is filthy disgusting. Like I don’t think the floors have ever been cleaned.
St Vincent De Paul is half the size with more stuff and they sell for a reasonable price and the store is cleaner.
We bought all our winter coats there every year in junior high and high school. Couldn’t afford goodwill

Goodwill it very poor about putting the money where it's supposed to go.

The lions share of donated clothing items get bundled for the rag recycling industry the best of the best hits the stores floor. I’m afraid to say anything more don’t want to poke the Mama Bear. LOL

goodwill and some others use some sort of perfumed detergent or cover scent , I don't know what it is I just know it is there.


but wash things a few times and they are fine.

goodwill can be vastly different one city to the next , they are like a franchise so it is who owns what group of stores. the one in Janesville is run by a different company than the one in Madison.

St Vincent is good also , probably the nicest cleanest St. Vincent around is Stoughton WI.

my issue is probably just my nose.

The local Indian school here had a huge thrift store they moved into one of the old grocery stores. Not only used items but a lot of quality brand name donated goods. A guy I used to work with had a side job buying the better donated items and selling them on eBay.

First of all, this whole post is a tongue in cheek joke not to be taken seriously.
We have donated things to our local Goodwill from time to time. Whenever we donate clothes my wife washes them all before she will allow me to drop them off.
We also donate things to our local Savers store because they donate some of their income to charities and military veteran's causes.

You can shame about anything on here just don’t mess with the thrifty crowd on here that’s hilarious!

The Savers here isn't bad, but the prices have gone up. A lot of stuff donated never makes it into the store, theres some huge dumpsters in the back that collects the junk, and broken stuff.... I expect the torn and unsellable clothes get bundled for rags/export...

More valuable items get pulled and sold on ebay
