Shopping Tips

  • Visit on weekday mornings, especially mid-week, when staff are most likely to have processed fresh donations and restocked the floor with new items.
  • Check the color-tag discount system — Goodwill rotates weekly color tags that mark items at an additional discount, sometimes 50% off, so always ask which color is currently on sale.
  • Don't overlook the housewares and book sections, which at this Ashland location tend to see strong donations from the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
  • If you're hunting for furniture or larger items, come prepared with measurements and a vehicle that can haul — good pieces move fast and the store typically cannot hold items.
  • Sign up for or ask about the Goodwill Rewards program, which lets frequent shoppers earn points and access exclusive deals across all Central and Coastal Virginia locations.
