When encore opened a couple years ago I found 2 pair of authentic Juicy Couture Jeans that would have retailed for $150 each brand new! Update: January 17, 2012. Purchased a nearly new BUNN Coffee maker for $5.99 plus 20% off today!!! Note taped on machine said "this item not fully tested" I took my chances since the item looked so new. Brought the unit home ran cleaner through a few times and wiped everything down. Brewed my first pot in about 3 minutes & just enjoyed the best cup of coffee I have drank at home in years! Same exact BUNN for sale at Clinton Walmart for $99. I love a good deal....thanks Encore!

The quilt shop I had hoped to visit in downtown Lincoln, IL was inexplicably closed, so this was my…read moresecond choice. We met a local person who told us that this place was connected to a church and that proceeds from sales would help the local community. Sounds good. I'm not real big on thrift shops, but we stopped in. Books and clothes and household items. Didn't find anything that I absolutely had to have. Prices are reasonable. Most items had price stickers. I did see two CorningWare casserole dishes with lids that were rather tempting, but I would have had to carry them a couple of miles back to the car. I actually passed on them! One was shallow, dark brown, with a cornucopia motif. The other was the classic blue flower. Maybe I was an idiot to pass on those. Go grab 'em if you can. Tell 'em I sent ya.

I never thought I'd say this, but this is hands down the worst Goodwill I've ever visited. I…read moreusually hit up Goodwill for those unique, quirky finds--the odd statues, the truly unusual. This time, I was just bored. The back of the store was crammed with what felt like discards, not donations anyone would actually want. Goodwills usually boast a diverse selection; this one just had "tosses." It's tough to underwhelm me when it comes to a second-hand store, but this place managed it. Clothes were strewn everywhere, and the whole store clearly lacked any employee pride. I won't be back. The clothes seem a little higher than most also, why? This isn't the place for great value. This location, likely catering to the college crowd, simply doesn't measure up to other Goodwills. Next!
