    We had our first visit at the SA thrift store today located on N Illinois in Belleville. To say we…read morewere sticker shocked is disturbing. We understand prices at all retailers, thrifts, etc have increased. But when the majority of almost all the clothing is priced higher than purchasing brand new at a retailer, there's something majorly wrong. We commenting to employees, the majority stated "oh, we all know". The only thing they are able to do is give you the phone number to talk with corporate and leave bad reviews. So we're starting here. If you're looking for lower cost clothing for anyone, please steer clear of these stores. They are priced at corporate, then sent to the stores where they have no power over pricing. Stick to smaller thrifts who are non-profit. You will even find high prices at Goodwill & Savers, but the SA thrift is even higher than those mentioned.

    I went out of my way to come here instead of Goodwill, since Salvation Army's financial practices…read moreare better than those of Goodwill. Unfortunately, I encountered a horrible employee at drop off who spoke to me in annoyed one-word sentences. I arrived with a reusable bin full of clothes, and he says, "In the truck." "Do you have a box?" "Nope." "So can I put the clothes straight in the truck?" "Nope." "Do you have a bag?" "Nope." Finally I pressed him, and he said, "You need a box or bag, but I ain't got one." So I returned to my car, with the clothes, and drove off. Went to Goodwill, where I was greeted immediately and cordially. My dropoff took one minute. Didn't need a box; just dropped the clothes straight into one of their carts. That's how it should be done.

    This is a Goodwill outlet (or sometimes called Bins), but basically a further discounted Goodwill…read more I posted the price chart (see photo). Plenty of parking. This place was huge with many bins filled with all kinds of things. You need some time to go through everything. I'm not experienced but there are professional searchers there so I just stand next to them and watch them go through it and if there is something that I like then I will take it if they don't. I got a cool Spider-Man/Venom shirt for about 50 cents. There are many good deals but you will need some time.

    Have you ever dropped a broken Cheeto at a picnic and reached to pick it up, and then realized…read morethat's unnecessary, because the bugs will take care of it by nightfall? I think that's why the Goodwill Outlet exists. Staff don't label or stage or toss broken stuff. They leave it for this crowd. I saw broken items and intact items. I saw dirty items. I needed a shower by 5 minutes in and I stayed a good 30. I almost bought a few wooden hangers for a friend, but it turned out she didn't need them, so I left them behind. Someone else's treasure. I didn't visit the clothing area because I doubt I'd wear anything that came from this Goodwill Outlet, though I'm sure there are some gems. Goodwill Outlet is a scrapper's paradise. Not just a reseller's... I mean a metal scrapper's. Someone filled a cart with all kinds of metal goods. I didn't check prices, but the last time I checked, most things were by the pound. Tip 1: Get there early or you'll be waiting around for parking. Tip 2: "Early" may also apply to the afternoon, as the hours online suggest they close for 2 hours for lunch.
