Shopping Tips

  • Get the most out of your visit to the Oshkosh Goodwill Retail Store & Training Center with these insider tips:
  • Visit mid-week, particularly Tuesday through Thursday mornings, when newly processed donations are more likely to hit the floor after the busy weekend drop-off surge.
  • Sign up for Goodwill's rewards or discount programs — periodic tag-color sales can slash prices even further on already budget-friendly items.
  • Check the furniture and housewares section first if you're furnishing a space; turnover is high and larger items move fast.
  • Bring measurements for furniture or frame sizes if you're shopping with a specific need — items sell quickly and there are no holds.
  • Don't overlook the book and media section near the registers; Oshkosh shoppers frequently donate in excellent condition, and you can often find novels, cookbooks, and DVDs for under a dollar.
