Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia

I was driving to the bank after leaving the mall when I saw Goodwill to the right. I was trying to get to the ATM before dark, but something called me to Goodwill. I’d been looking for items for a themed holiday party and wasn’t willing to spend too much, so I decided to stop in.
I don’t think I’ve made a purchase here in at least 2 years. I don’t recall the pricing system where instead of items being individually priced, they were priced by item type (unless otherwise indicated). So the whole row of blazers were $ 6.99. I think the dress aisle was around the same price. Boy does this make shopping easier for the masses. Now if there is a price tag on the item, that is the price (not what is listed on the aisle sign).
I picked up an item that would cost over $ 100 brand new and was labeled $ 9.99. When I got to the register the cashier told me that it was $ 5 because today all yellow tag items were half price. WHAT!?! I asked her to explain this to me. Was there a sigh? yes, I just didn’t see it.
Just come on in and do a quick peruse. It won’t hurt you.

Right near my house & I just love this one. When I have the money I tend to go to 5 – 6 ones in the area & this 1 will always be my most favorite one. Great stuff & great staff!

So, I’ m becoming less & less of a fan of Goodwill in general due to their high prices & business ethics… But, if you’re going to go to a goodwill this location is the best I’ve found in Virginia Beach (depending on what you’re looking for). A close runner up would be the Goodwill off Lynnhaven & Princess Anne.
I have found some REALLY good items here. brand new purses, shoes, a tv soundbar etc. I am constantly finding cute namebrand clothes here. Occasionally they have some good furniture too. Also, the store is kept really neat.
I have found some employees here that i really love & some I hate. I have an issue with one of the managers here. Everytime she’s around and I find something that is a really good deal… she’s mad. One time I found a betsey johnson purse priced at $ 3…and she made me wait while she called the pricer in & he had to come out & get chewed out by her because the price was too low. All of this in front ofme. Can you say tacky? Guess you can call her a deal nazi.
Anyways, that has only happened a couple rare times, so I keep coming back. If you’re going to go to a goodwill thrift in virginia beach this one is a 3.5 star-​er.

Good store, everything seemed fairly clean and well organized except for some of the women’s sections. Sizes weren’t well placed. Limited on furniture pieces though which was my primary reason for going there but with goodwill it’s always variable.

My go to place for dropping off all the stuff (clothes etc) that I no longer will use! Easy access in the back with convenient hours for drop off. i have never actually been inside but if you have things that you want to get rid of, this might be a great place for you to do that. It’s right across the street in the strip mall across from Lynnhaven.

I absolutely love thrift stores! What I love most about Goodwill is that each item type has a set price, so none of that «if it’s not priced, you have to wait a day to buy it» type of thing that other stores have. I also love that you can get a discount depending on the color of the tag. This ensures that inventory is constantly rotated out, so thrifters like me can be sure that each visit will be filled with new treasures.
Also, like so few thrift stores, the dressing room (on the right side of the store) are HUGE. So yea, you can take an entire shopping cart full of stuff there and try it all on. As of now, there is no limit, but I heard a rumor (an upset employee) that they might put a limit on the number of items you can bring.
The store was very clean and well stocked. I will be back for more thrifting fun!
