Goodwill - Cambridge

"The racks are very packed so it was hard to look through them. Prices were really high especially for the quality. I did find some cool items though so it’s worth checking out at least once."

"Without doubt the premium thrift store experience. Genius marketing in the name and extremely well presented throughout, they simply nailed the perfect formula. While the percentage of funds actually going to charitable causes is nowhere near what you'd expect, it's hard to argue with this business model. We supply their stock of saleable goods and they sell it back to us, generating massive profit margins. Well played. As for the individual shopping experience, it's magnificent. Like a treasure hunt, only without an 'X' marking the spot. Truthfully, it depends what you're in the market for. Being a fairly average sized individual as I am, there's great variety in the clothing. I check here maybe two or three times a year, and sometimes leave with more than a dozen items costing significantly under $100 in total. I even enjoy shopping here with my wife, partly because of those treasure hunt type feelings, but also knowing that if we do find something special, it's a wonderful treat delivered on a budget, which honestly feels twice as nice. Really, the only frustrations are finding things that look fantastic but aren't quite the correct size, because everything is unique, and they absolutely do not have alternate sizes. There's other stuff here besides clothing, though it is significantly harder to stumble into other types of goods that are exactly what you want. When you do though, it can be a quite stunning result. Our dining room table, for example. Easily worth ten times what we paid for it. Outstanding."

"The mark ups on items at this thrift store is disgusting. There are multiple items that are found literally next-door at the dollar store, that they have priced at 2, 3 and all the way up to 6 dollars for the exact same item that is 1.25 next door. Sure this location is cheaper than Goodwill’s in the city, but it doesn’t make the price gouging acceptable. Disappointing for a thrift store, try the shalom shop across the street or family pathways down the road, and quite a few other local thrift stores for much better prices, and really supporting the community"

"Very good Goodwill extremely clean and cheap. Things that would cost $15 at most Twin Cities Goodwill's is around $9 here. Mostly only clothes which is too be expected in this type of Goodwill (small community)"

"I bought a pair of boots from there. My son (7) wore them to school today and noticed a hole in the bottom. I have the receipt but the sticker isn't on them so they will not return or exchange. Be careful if you purchase something there, they sell defective items and are unwilling to help. I purchased only three things and they really can't figure out what I purchased or that I purchased it there? Come on! I understand the return policy but it is ridiculous to have to keep a sticker that has the price on it. A tag, I understand but a sticker gets ruined the minute you pull it off. I will never shop at any Goodwill again."
