Shopping Tips

  • Visit on weekday mornings shortly after the 10AM opening — that's typically when newly processed donations appear on the floor, giving you first pick before the afternoon rush.
  • Check the color-tag rotation schedule, as Goodwill regularly discounts items by tag color, meaning some items may already be 50% off without any special event.
  • Don't skip the book and media section — Lexington's university community donates heavily in this category, and you'll often find textbooks, classics, and niche titles for under a dollar.
  • Bring measurements for furniture and large items if you're shopping for home pieces; the Woodcote Lane location gets solid furniture donations and you'll want to know your space before falling in love with a bookshelf.
  • Drop off your own donations when you shop — it streamlines the process, supports local Goodwill programs in Virginia, and the good karma never hurts your thrifting luck.
