My gosh the prices are SO high! Goodwill is meant to help people. I get it. But these stores are meant to help people too. Making the prices sky high saying 92 cents of every buck goes to help. Well that's why people donate money. They donate goods and clothes so that people that can not afford to purchase them for themselves and their family can have a way to. I can go to walmart and get brand new clothes for a fraction of what they cost at goodwill. That's not right! Especially with inflation higher than ever. I don't know how you sleep at night. And don't say you keep prices competitive. You shouldn't be competing like a retail store. And your prices are higher than everywhere! Shame on you!

This place has been here for ages and you can tell when you go inside. It's quite old and a little dirty. That said, it's full of donated second-hand items, so one can't expect it to be pristine. They do accept donations of good inside the store via a giant stop box, or behind the store for larger items.

Keepers….. goodwill of OC This store, picks the designers brands out of donations they get, along with items that will sell. The store is really small and packed with nice clothes, nice furniture and at time some eclectic Knick knacks! It’s a tight squeeze in there but if your a thrift store junkie like me….it does t matter! Next door is the larger Goodwill if you aren’t done thrifting.

This is probably one of the larger Goodwill’s in the area. This is the time to get your Halloween costumes on the cheap! See the photos attached. A good portion in the center of the store was dedicated just to Halloween costumes. More than half the store is clothes. There is an entire other store right next to this one called OC Goodwill Boutique which is mostly high end, designer clothing with some couture. See my other review for those photos. Not as much furniture at this Goodwill. Mostly side tables and chairs. A good amount of housewares, small counter top appliances, lamps, home decor, linen, toys and shoes can be found here. Like most other stores at this time, the fitting rooms are closed and there are no public restrooms available.

I don't understand why it's a donation and they are selling it to high, expensive than the new ones. They are not helping people that can't afford to buy new products. Besides, They post a tag of color for 50 percent off, but guess what they do, They take out all the items with color tags for 50 percent off. A total reaping to the public that can't afford to buy new ones. *** This is my honest review;) one 🌟 because of the good workers, but to the non profit organization," Make sure you're not making millions out of donations. Remember, those are to help the people that can't afford to buy new products. GOD is watching you. We know you're helping those Autistic kids. Help also the public. Do you think rich people will buy from Goodwill?

I have a storage unit in Laguna Niguel (Public Storage) that includes furniture that I would like to donate to Goodwill. Does Goodwill do direct pickups of furniture?

tally trekker | Aug 21, 2019
Jan Mastrangelo | Aug 21, 2019

No it does not but I believe salvation army does.

Do you have 50% off sales?

Christopher Scicluna | Aug 21, 2019
Virginia Gurr | Mar 23, 2022

Yes, they regularly have 50% off sales. Example: I went on Monday 2/21/22, the picture frames were half off. Got a piece of new wall art. Original price was 29.99, Goodwill price 9.99, half off price 4.99. Can't beat that. You just have to look because the sales change.

Do you take cribs? No mattress. Thanks, Gary

ʙᴇɴɴʏ ʙᴀϻ | Aug 21, 2018

10-6 but if you have a donation I reccommend Habitat for Humanity, or Salvation Army, those causes are more direct to cause, and still just as tax deductible.
