What's the best day to go to Goodwill? ›

While there's no “perfect” day to shop second hand stores, many regulars swear by shopping early on Monday and Tuesday. Homeowners tend to drop off garage sale leftovers on Sunday nights, making for new finds. Plus, the weekends are more crowded shopping days, so employees look to restock early in the week.

According to Goodwill, the perfect time slot to shop at thrift stores is in the morning on both Monday and Tuesday. This is because, at least as far as Goodwill is concerned, people tend to donate garage sale remnants on Sunday, so the pickings are new and fresh come early weekdays.

Dirty or Unwashed Clothes: Clothes that are dirty or unwashed may not be suitable for donation. It's important to provide clean and hygienic items. Single Socks or Shoes: Single socks or shoes without a matching pair may not be useful. Charities often prefer items that can be immediately used.

Building and/or construction materials. Mattresses, box springs, waterbeds and accessories, hospital or mechanical beds, commercial furniture and carpeting. Large appliances, televisions. Large furniture that does not fit inside the store donation bins.

Average Goodwill Industries hourly pay ranges from approximately $15.77 per hour for Senior Material Handler to $30.00 per hour for Human Resources Generalist. The average Goodwill Industries salary ranges from approximately $20,000 per year for Security Officer to $116,417 per year for Compensation Manager.

Tip Two: Go at the Right Time

Another reason thrifting may seem difficult to you is because you aren't going at the right time. Goodwill replaces their items in the morning, and some stores replace their items just before closing as well. The safest choice is to go in the morning, right when the store opens.

The Goodwill Date Night Challenge consists of couples who head out to their nearest Goodwill and find an outfit for each other (or themselves) to wear, but there's a catch. Each person has only $10 to spend and must wear it out on their date!

Each year on December 26th, South Africa celebrates the Day of Goodwill. The day has become a day to recover from the indulgences of Christmas festivities. People are also encouraged to give back to society following the Christmas holiday.

Unlike a lot of high street stores, you'll often find that charity shops will have new stock out every day. While you might find absolutely nothing one day, there could be something on the rails tomorrow. Weekdays are the best time for charity shopping as there's less competition for the best stuff.
