Tips for successful Goodwill shopping

• Shop often. With thousands of donations received daily at each store, merchandise changes continuously. Smart shoppers visit Goodwill frequently so they don’t miss out on new merchandise that is displayed daily.



• Time is a key ingredient to success. You have to go through the merchandise and clothing, but it’s worth it.



• Know what you need and be prepared to buy it when you see it. If you wait to check back later, it will be gone. Good buys don’t stay in the store.



• Know what labels are best buys and what looks good on you. Keep a list in your purse of your family’s sizes and needs.



• For teenagers, labels and style are important. Find out what is popular.



• Check out more than one Goodwill Store. Each location has their own unique treasures.



• Cash in on fabulous savings during promotions like Senior Citizen Day every Wednesday.



• Goodwill also sells new merchandise, so check it out!
