I've just heard about these today. The Goodwill Outlet is much cheaper than the regular Goodwill stores. Items like clothes are sold by the pound.
The following is from the Indiana Goodwill site:
Clothing, accessories, housewares and toys:
$1.39 per pound for 0-19 pounds
99 cents per pound for 20-49 pounds
59 cents per pound for 50 pounds or more
Glassware and dishware:
59 cents per pound
Books and media:
Hardback Books – 50 cents each
Paperback Books – 25 cents each
Coloring Books, Magazines, Comics, Wall Calendars – 25 cents each
Records – 50 cents each
8-Tracks, Videotapes, CDs – $1 each
DVDs – $2 each
All other outlet store merchandise is priced as marked.
All Goodwill Outlet Store merchandise is sold as-is. No refunds or exchanges.
Bestill my beating heart! The only drawback is that there aren't many of these outlet stores yet. When I googled Goodwill Outlet Store, it came up with results in big cities like Nashville, Seattle, Indianapolis, etc. But hopefully the number will increase and those of us who don't live near major metropolitan areas, will have a chance to experience a Goodwill Outlet shopping trip!

Our Nashville Goodwill-by-the-pound just changed to a per-piece price--50 cents for each article of clothing.
This means that baby clothes and the silk blouses I used to buy now cost more; balanced by the fact that heavy wool sweaters and coats now cost less.
That stinks although I guess it's still pretty good. I wonder why they changed. Thanks for that info Meredith! :o)
Great post!
I used to work at a Goodwill, but I haven't had a chance to run by the outlet store yet (here, we call them Blue Hangar stores). I think the prices are just amazing, and I'm going to try and run by one soon!
If you do, you must share your finding with us please! Let us live vicariously through you. LOL
I live in Twin Falls in Idaho. We have a Salvation Army Thrift store. All the clothes in the store are $1. It is so great. I try to run in there once a week. It is so great. Claudia
I love the Goodwill but have never heard of the outlet. I'll have to go to their site and see if one is near me!
