They have a lot of things, but as many reviews have said, this is extremely overpriced. Any shoe I picked up was $29.99. I didn't see any shirts for less than $5.99 (no matter the condition), which when I usually go to a goodwill are the ones I set aside to consider if I REALLY want it. These items would be between $3-$5 at any other goodwill I have been to. There is a reason we shop at Goodwill over retail, and you guessed it, its the price. There were a lot of items that were incorrectly sized as well, which as it is, I am already fishing for my size in the jumble of clothes. I can easily spend $50-$70 at a goodwill and leave very happy with a bag full of things and an intention to return multiple times a month. This one I wont return to. I will stick to the locations in Chula Vista, way more "Goodwill" priced items. I gave more than one star only because the staff was very polite and very friendly and helpful. The reviews have responses that say they will forward the suggestions to "the right department" but there are reviews that are 10+ months old, so... guess that's either not happening or they don't care that they are losing a lot of potential for repeat customers.

You can occasionally find a decently priced item, but good luck. They're literally selling used towels out of a bin for 4 dollars. There was a water bottle priced at 10 dollars. I'm not kidding. This is the most delusional thrift store I've ever been to. I used to go check the DVD section because games were typically somewhat reasonably priced, but they're clearly comparing to eBay or something because now they're all behind a glass case and the only game I saw was a Wii game priced at almost 50 dollars. Go somewhere else.

The prices at this particular Goodwill are extremely high. Found a dress marked for $300 that had a giant stain on the front and that’s just one example of many things I found like that. I ran into many things that were priced at $40, $50, $60, $70. When I got up to the register one of my items did not have a tag and I had to wait for a very long time while they went into the back and looked the price up on the item and then came back with a very high price. Not going back again.

This is a great Goodwill store. It's open early which is good if you like to browse after dropping kids off at school. It's always clean, the staff is friendly and they have good quality thrift items. Go with an open mind and you may find a treasure! Do be prepared walk a little further to your car in the parking lot. This outdoor mall is busy all day and night so even the nearby handicapped parking can be filled up. The parking lot is clean, the spaces are big enough so people can open thier car doors without denting the car next to them.
