Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Louisiana - Metairie

I went to Goodwill in a panic just after Christmas. I had a wedding to attend and I needed a belt. I surely didn't want to go to the mall. I absolutely didn't want to pay $35-$38 for a belt. I decided to give Goodwill a shot. They had several belts , but not in the particular shade of light brown I needed to go with my shoes. While I was there, I decided to just take a Quick Look at the men's dress shirts. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. In about 5 minutes I scooped up 4 nice shirts and they cost me $20. The lady at the register was pleasant. I'll make it a point to stop in from time to time.

The people here were so nice. They were helpful and busy. It makes me sad though to see all the things in the process of being given away and how much estate we have while people do without.

My kids and I love to find cool things, we went in here to look for "treasures". We always look through the books, too. My college student wanted a book for a class and not only did she find a brand new one but also three other books. All four of her books cost $1.50 altogether! I bought a few books as well. The sales clerk was kind and attentive. Parking lot is right in front with several spaces available. Getting in and out of lot can be a little tricky when traffic is heavy. The store was mostly clean in appearance with a strong, musty, smell about it. The smell actually caused us to leave pretty quickly as it was just too annoying.

This is a pretty good Goodwill that is packed with everything you can imagine. It's organized pretty well, by size and style of clothing. A lot of what they have here is out of date- very out of date, but I guess that's to be expected because they have a lot of things for sale. Aisles are narrow and can be hard to navigate when it's busy.You are going to find things for really cheap here ($1 and $2 t shirts), but it's not as good of quality as you will find at other thrift stores. Much of what they have here has been well worn.

easy access, always great service and makes dropping off donations quick and easy in Metairie.

The prices were a bit high for a goodwill I even found a portable grill that was priced 30$ and it's sold brand new in store for 20$. But the reason I'm making a review is to praise the worker that was cleaning and changing trash can bags. The employees on the floor were standing around gossiping by the front door doing absolutely nothing and in the few minutes he walked up by the door to change the trash he was greeting customers and informing them of the sales and being generally helpful. I was there for maybe 20 minutes and not once was I informed on the discount until he walked up. Very impressive young man with a great attitude towards working on Christmas Eve. If anyone should be taking out the trash it's the lazy women who were more concerned with audibly speaking badly on other ppl infront of customers rather than working

Im looking for a purse for my fiancée because I broke her zipper and the manager comes up to me an tells me "we already checked those purses for any valuables" an escorted me out the store , how rude I just can't stand how people assume the worse in others , i recommend staying away from this goodwill , they might think your trying to steal when your look'ing for the perfect gift the make your significant other happy

I used to be a regular thrifter but the prices have gotten outrageous. The last time I went, half the ladies' shirts were $14.99, and many of them were in poor condition. I noticed that the Loft brand in particular was marked up. Loft is just a cheaper version of Ann Taylor and really not that desirable, so I'm not sure why Goodwill thinks Loft shirts should be $15. I can go to many major stores like Target or Old Navy and get brand new shirts for these prices. Or I can get Loft shirts new and on sale for $15. Furthermore, the housewares and furniture sections are all junk. Glassware, bakeware, cups, etc--all overpriced and could be bought new for the same price or less.

I'm in here shopping for work clothes with a sick toddler who's whining and you send employees to follow me around as though i'm stealing? when i ask him what he's doing standing creepily next to my kid in a basket he says "ok" and then when i walk away he follows me again?? get real. i used to love this place. what the hell is going on. we aren't all thieves. chill out. i won't be back. but yall be safe in there.

Whoever is set loose with the pricing, God need some education on the value of things. Wayover priced some of these clothes are so staying and torn and ripped beyond repair.
