IMO- this Goodwill is usually pretty picked over and since it's right in the city the good stuff goes quick. There's usually not much left when the 50% sales arrive due to the high sales volume in the store. I think the prices are actually a little bit higher here in comparison to the other local stores. If you're on a thrifting binge the location on Kenner is much larger. The River Ridge, Metarie and Lakeview locations are much smaller. I've attached a few pictures with pricing so you can get an idea.... I thought $20 for that pink office chair was good but $50 for the scratched world market table was meh, I would say $30 would have been more reasonable but that's just my option! Staff is very friendly and kind, also willing to help load up your purchased treasures! Happy thrifting!!

Changed the price on me. I bought a Kids dress but they charged it as adult because it was long.

This is just the oddest Goodwill store that I have ever shopped in. I typically go to get things to decorate for Mardi Gras throws, or some simple items for my classroom (like furniture or whatever).There hasn't been a great selection of items this year. I get it, we're still in a pandemic, and donating/buying has been down overall, but I always feel like this store isn't even close to half its capacity based on it size and location. There are (strangely enough) a ton of items that are new. I don't have any problem with packaged and new items, but I've just never really seen that amount at a GW before. Hopefully that means they have lots of great local partners to help them out with donations.Another thing that surprised me was the shoes. I generally stop at GW stores to find shoes to glitter and make into throws. This location has many shoes, but it's not one base price (plus the ones on sale on Mondays). This one has dynamic pricing on the shoes, and ones I'd normally buy for $6 are now almost $20. Again, I get it, it's a business, but that's just insane, especially since I like to just destroy and rebuild them based on whatever I'm creating. Way too much money for that kind of fun. I was able to find cheap side tables and rolly chairs for my classroom, and they were all way cheaper than the high heeled shoes I found, but it's a give and take. As long as you know what you're looking for and what you're willing to spend, it's not so bad.

Before donating people should be aware that there isn't a minimum wage for the disabled and Goodwill takes full advantage of that, paying the handicapped as little as 50 cents an hour to sort clothes. An inconvenient truth for sure.
