In a community like Avon, CT, I was excited to come to this particular location. I guess I had my expectations too high. In terms of clothing, today was not my luck as I saw a lot of cute items, but not in my size. There was a huge sale going on where all sweaters were $ 5.99 and the red-tagged ones were additionally discounted by 50%. I bought a thick ivory cable knit GAP sweater duster. All infant clothing was 99 cents! There were a mix of newer clothing and really, really old clothing(think 1994 old) and cheap clothing(Wal-Mart) and expensive(J.Crew). In comparison to other locations, this was a newer location with bright lights and fancy cash registers. There were actually associates who looked like they took pride in their jobs. The merchandise can be a hit or miss, but that is the thrift store game. Since I live near the Berlin Turnpike which has Savers, Goodwill, and Salvation Army, I am not going to go out of my way to go there.

Big, clean, bright, organized and neat, this new Goodwill store means we no longer have to drive to Torrington to drop off donations. Today we donated our first carful of stuff right here. The gent we interacted with at the receiving door was very friendly and polite. He wheeled out a big laundry basket-like contraption to our car to make unloading our donations a snap. He asked if we wanted a receipt for tax purposes, and when we said«yes» he gave us one. We took a look inside, and since its been open less than six months it still looks brand new. Row after row of clothing, household stuff, kitchen stuff and furniture. I saw a big bookcase with music CDs, DVD movies, VHS movies and even some cassette tapes. I picked up two music CDs that were stickered for a buck each. When I got to the counter, I saw that one of them was empty, so I guess you need to be careful. The CD I bought was 50% off, so I bought it for $ 0.53 and donated the change back to Goodwill.

Wow. What a huge goodwill. So many goodies. Great dresses. Boutique items are mixed in with regular items so you need to check the racks. Nice selection of blue jeans and books. I can’t wait to come back.
