But now I get better deals from Salvation Army and Goodwill (who have also started to act like they are a Macy's). This is not what a community nonprofit store should act like. And all the new stuff like appliances can be purchased at the big box stores for less. I'm really disappointed at what they have become. I bought a hanging light from them and saw the identical fixture 2 weeks later at Menards for less! This is 'NOT' my idea of a community store. I can sell my own things. I thought I was helping out by donating. I would rather give it to someone in need than have them buy it for top dollar when they are trying to scrape by.

But this Goodwill has taken a majority of the things I found sparked no joy or really had no purpose during the pandemic. They don't really take sofas, large appliances, auto parts, home improvement items, baby stuff or other bulky items. They're open daily, from 11-7PM. I feel safe dropping off my junk that hopefully is someone else's treasure, too. LAST, did you know? Goodwills in Iowa have partnered with local food banks and shelters to provide much-needed supplies and nourishment to those most affected by the health and economic crisis. WTG, Goodwill!

Love this place. I was finally able to visit the Goodwill Outlet Store in CR over the weekend. If…read moreyou're familiar with Cedar Rapids, the Outlet is in part of the former Klein Tools building on the SW side near the airport. Big, clean, open shopping space. Blue 'boats' cover the sales floor and are filled with all kinds of items. Gloves are required in order to dig through the bins. You can bring your own, or buy them at the Outlet for $1.99/each. Wonder why gloves are required? Your safety, of course. A new boat is rolled out every 30minutes (I believe). We had arrived a little after 4pm (closing is at 5pm) on Saturday and the last boat had just been rolled out. Don't assume that the boats are full of stuff the local stores didn't want - that isn't the case. I'm not sure how the boats are originally organized, but by the time the day is over clothing is mixed in with housewares. Books and cds/dvds stayed relatively separate from all other items. There are lots of great things to be found including higher-end shoes like Cole Hahn, Puma, Nike, Adidas, vinyl records, great books, etc. Merchandise is sold by the pound at $1.49/lb. If you have a heavy item and are curious about the cost, there is a self-service scale available for customers to use. Employees can put a pile of your items on their counter scale, or roll your entire cart onto the freight scale. Furniture is priced individually, but I didn't see any on the sales floor when we visited. The person I was with said they had never seen the boats so 'light.' Maybe donations are down right now. I definitely plan to come back in a few weeks, but a few hours earlier. Most customers and all employees were wearing masks, which I really appreciated. If you want to sift through each bin it will take all day. Restrooms available, shopping carts, a nice vending area (because you'll really need a snack 2 hours in). Check-out is similar to Aldi, in that there is a counter where you can bag or box your items before leaving. Employees don't bag. There are bags and boxes available for customers to use, but I'm sure you can bring along your own. Very friendly staff. Parking lot can get cramped when busy, and a small lounge area for sitting would be nice so shoppers could take a break without having to go back out to their cars. We left with a shopping cart full including books for $35. One of the top places in Eastern Iowa to find a good deal. Highly recommend.

There is a connecting space for wine tasting classes or private events. You are also welcome to enjoy a glass while lounging in front of the fireplace. It's spectacular!

I see the previous two reviews for The Christmas Room say this business isn't around anymore but I…read morevisited in early November '16 and the whole place was a mega Christmas explosion! I see they wrote their reviews in April and June though, so perhaps this is a seasonal store which would totally make sense given what it's all about. It was still a little early for me to be in the Christmas spirit but it's hard not to walk through The Christmas Room and not get even a little giddy about the impending holiday season! The place is decorated as if buddy the elf sneezed on the place - perfectly over the top, Christmas trees chock-full of ornaments, lights strung everywhere. It's just plain fun! They have different zones throughout the store so you can find something that matches your holiday style. Kiddos looking to turn their rooms into a princess pink Christmas zone? All about the sparkly winter wonderland vibes? They've got it all. My personal favorite was their tree topper selection - they have various sizes and styles of porcelain angels and stars. I grew up with a porcelain angel as our tree topper and until stumbling across these at The Christmas Room, I've never been able to find one quite like it!
