Shopping Tips

  • Visit mid-week for freshest inventory: Donations dropped at the on-site Donation Station are typically processed and shelved within a day or two, so Tuesday through Thursday visits often yield the best newly arrived finds.
  • Check the color-tag rotation: Goodwill uses a rotating color-tag discount system — ask a team member which color is currently discounted to score extra savings on already low prices.
  • Arrive early on weekday mornings: Less foot traffic in the morning means first pick of any new stock before weekend crowds arrive.
  • Don't skip the book and media section: This San Antonio location frequently has a solid selection of books, DVDs, and music at some of the lowest prices in the store.
  • Use the Donation Station strategically: If you donate before you shop, you'll feel even better about your purchases — and you're directly supporting Good Careers Center job training programs that benefit the San Antonio community.
