KINDEST WORKER I'VE EVER MET…read more Some of my friends and I recently went to goodwill and had the pleasure of meeting William. He is the sweetest cashier we've ever meet. He was cheerful, friendly, and humorous. One of the items I was checking out didn't have a tag. While another kind worker, David, quickly solved the problem, Will talked to us the entire time. Even though the store was closing soon and most workers would be rushing to get customers out, he didn't make us feel like a burden. We will be back very soon in hopes of seeing him!!! :) Chloe, Avery, Alexa, & Brenna

I've stopped going to the Avon location. The increase in prices is absurd. Often there are new…read moreitems with store price tag still on - the Goodwill price is usually the same price (or more) than I could purchase new. Used boys shorts $7.19, boys sports brand t-shirts $6.99, etc. Carts are filthy - I don't think they have ever been hosed down. Often, stained clothes on the floor. Nearly all items are overpriced, and I'm very disappointed to see this store go downhill fast. The positives about the store - very helpful staff, great location with plenty of parking.

My mom wanted to see how much they would give for her expensive shoes, she left them overnight and…read moreended up being busy during the week with work. She's a single mom and recently lost my grandma. The store never contacted her telling her when to pick her shoes up. My mom tried to get them back after no contact and they said that their policy states they now own the shoes. I like shopping here but haven't returned in months due to this. I like supporting women owned businesses but this was very distasteful.

I always find the coolest most classics pieces when I come here. They always have decent sales and…read moreeclectic footwear and costume jewelry. Consistently rotating inventory with everything from vinyl, tapes, artwork, plants and shoes! I love shopping here to support local business. Just don't come in with a coffee in your hand as food and drink are not allowed, rightfully so! They do occasional sidewalk sales with snacks and music and it's always a good time. Stop in, you won't leave empty handed. There's something for everyone and the women working there are kind and knowledge about what they sell.

I love thrift shopping. I had to check this place out. The store was pretty large and spacious…read more Everything was nicely organized; from the books, toys, shoes, home decor, and clothes. Most of the clothes and shoes were organized by color/size. Don't forget to look at the sign when you enter, items are on sale based on the color of the week/day. The donation box is also inside the store if you wish to donate your items. I found a cute onesie and toddler shirt for $3.70 total. Thrift shopping is like treasure hunting, sometimes you find something good, other times you don't. Overall, a decent thrift shop for a good cause.

Second Chance Shop is a very nice thrift store in Simsbury that I heard from my friend Dan about…read more Their hours are limited so be sure to check before you go. Their clothing racks are organized by color and size, and everything is in excellent condition. I however am mostly drawn to their home items, like their plates and dishes. I once picked up eight dessert plates for 15 cents each. None of them had a single scratch or nick. They have a whole bookshelf of hard cover books for just $2.00 each. There's plenty of jewelry, I saw a really cool pair of large pearl earrings, but they were clip ons. They also have some beautiful artwork, that's already framed. This is a lovely thrift store, that I wouldn't skip stopping by!

"One thing I think you should know I ain't gonna miss you…read morewhen you go I'm just second hand news" (Fleetwood Mac) It kind of feels wrong to call the Second Chance Shop a "Thrift Store" because its the GD nicest thrift store I 've ever seen. If there's such a thing as a hgh end thrift store, this is it. It's super organized and gorgeous inside, with jewelry, clothing, household and kitchen accesories and a lot more. The pricing is ridiculously low. I saw $1 books, $5 shirts (one of which I bought), $5 jeans and dress slacks, lots of dresses under $10, and a box of 25 cent greeting cards. They are affiliated with The Village for Families and Children in Glastonbury, Suffield, West Hartford and Simsbury, so all of the store's proceeds go to a great cause. We know we'll be back!

Goodwill is starting to go downhill, especially with their "discounted" pricing. I refuse to donate…read moreto Goodwill any longer due to them charging full price for what would be a brand new shirt... only if it were new. $10 for a shirt, $20 for pants? Excuse me? But aren't you supposed to be helping the less fortunate and not ripping them off? Goodwill used to be good. However, this is a junk collection place now. I've seen empty pasta containers, dollar store, items self for triple the price. Items that are "less than" sellable. What gives? The only good things that are priced, would be the books, some electronics due to their 24 hour warranty, and some random knock knacks.

Prices at this Goodwill location have become unreasonable. Many dresses and men's shirts with…read morestains, wear, or other flaws are priced at $13.99 or more, despite being donated items that Goodwill receives for free. I understand that costs have increased, but these are still used items. At these prices, shoppers can easily go to TJ Maxx and buy brand-new clothes on clearance for the same amount. Goodwill was meant to offer affordable second-hand shopping, and unfortunately that no longer seems to be the case.

Out of everywhere I have been, I am most impressed with this store. The selection is enormous: SO much beautiful jewelry, Chanel/Gucci/Ferragamo shoes/purses, original oil paintings, etc. It was all so reasonably priced and everyone at the shop was so kind and helpful. I loved how intentional and curated the items felt, it all looked of very high quality and things are organized beautifully: designer fashion items in one area, necklaces and rings in another, china displayed by color/collection. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Pictured are some of my finds. Can't recommend this place enough. Incredible!
