Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire

I’m from Florida & our Goodwills are so much cheaper. So I was a little disappointed to pay $ 4.50 a shirt but otherwise found a few goodies. Messy & disorganized but if you’re a thrifter you won’t be phased.

This Goodwill has one of the poorest selections of items of any thrift store I’ve ever been in, and I recently found out why. Most of the items received by this store are sent elsewhere and they only get back what is unsold (so the crap).
I stop in this Goodwill at least once a week, and yet to find anything of significant value or that I want to bring home to use. I’ll occasionally leave with a book or two or a couple VHS tapes for the toddler, rarely do I spend more than $ 5 (very abnormal when it comes to me and thrift stores).
This GW is in super close proximity to the Humane Society Thrift Shop which does have the good stuff.

The only reason you should ever go to this Goodwill is for the treasure trove of furniture that lives in the backroom. Everything else will probably give you scabies, but at least you can Lysol the shit out of the furniture.
I had a couch I got from here. It was huge, long, and awkward. My neighbor had a goddamn Escalade, and that couch still hung out the back on the way back to our apartment. I took that couch everywhere with me. It lived through nacho cheese stains, cigarette holes, and belligerent cats. I’m pretty sure there were blood stains of unknown origins. The cushions would sometimes fall out from under you while you were sitting on them, which is either witchcraft or physics, I’m not quite sure. Anyway, I finally threw it away one day. But it lasted for years, and it came to me pretty beat up already.
The nice furniture is all pretty cheap, under $ 100 for the most part. They don’t deliver, and you should probably bring a truck with you when you buy things because I’m pretty sure someone will steal it if you leave to get a bigger vehicle.
Rest in peace, couch. I miss you.
