What They Sell

Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette in The Dalles carries a rotating, ever-changing selection of secondhand goods across virtually every category. Shoppers regularly find clothing and shoes for all ages, household goods, kitchenware, small appliances, books, media, and furniture pieces that turn over frequently. Because donations come from across the local community, the inventory stays unpredictable in the best way — one visit might surface vintage décor, the next a barely-used kitchen gadget or a quality winter coat at a fraction of retail price.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit mid-week, especially Tuesday through Thursday mornings, when newly processed donations are most likely to hit the floor fresh.
  • Check the color-tag discount rotation — Goodwill stores regularly discount specific tag colors by 50% or more, and knowing the current color can mean serious savings.
  • Don't overlook the housewares and small appliance sections; The Dalles location frequently turns up quality kitchen items that are easy to miss on a quick pass.
  • If you're hunting furniture or larger items, arrive early in the week — big pieces move fast once the weekend crowd arrives.
  • Bring a tote bag or reusable bins if you're a serious haul shopper; it makes sorting and carrying your finds through the store much easier.
