I have an idea. In 2004, the CEO of the Oregon Goodwill made over $700,000 a year. It angered me so much, I quit shopping, and donating to Goodwill. If other executives in the company are paid that well.. there you go! I enjoy the Salvation Army, the manager is a great lady, and due to the low prices, there is a quick turnover of goods.<br>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">While I support the mission of Goodwill Industries and
appreciate what they've done for so many people, I am a little frustrated
at their prices. It is easily cheaper to shop the clearance racks at Ross (or
even Macy's during certain times) and find a fashionable outfit than to
shop Goodwill. This would seem to price it out of the budget for people who
truly are on limited incomes (whereas the Salvation Army has kept their pricing
very low—under $2 for most clothing items in the store). Is there a
reason Goodwill's thrift store pricing isn't so thrifty?</span></font></p>
