Goodwill Wares: Gone Today? More Tomorrow

The O.C. thrift stores remind shoppers of deals for new and used clothing, electronics and holiday decor. And new items come in daily, they say.

Goodwill officials expect a busy December at their Orange County retail locations, but not just because of the prices.

Year-end donations bring in "all sorts of unique items for holiday shoppers to choose from," says Corrine Allen, vice president of retail operations for Goodwill of Orange County.

"Most stores introduce more than 2,000 new items every day into their inventory mix on the sales floor. So, if you don’t find what you’re looking for today, your best bet is to check back the next day. Or, alternately, you can visit our online auction site, shopgoodwill.com.”
