Have you been to a Goodwill Outlet before? It’s an experience like no other. Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana has a couple of marketing interns this summer and, as any good coworker would do, I took them to a Goodwill Outlet store. It seemed necessary to make sure they had a fully-rounded Goodwill shopping experience before their internship came to an end.

The Goodwill Indy Interns, Allie and Alix, take on the Goodwill Outlet Store-North. They’ve even taken note from some of our frequent and professional shoppers and worn their gardening gloves for safer sifting.

Allie checks out a fabric find almost immediately upon entering the Outlet.

Alix begins dreaming up new looks for this chest/footstool.
The divvying out of finds begins.
Allie goes through first, placing small items on the small scale then rolling her cart with the larger items on the scale.
Pay by the pound works great for Allie! She walked out with a bundle of craft and DIY supplies and inspirations for under $9

 

Stay tuned for some awesome DIY projects from Allie and Alix! And as always, if you’ve done some pretty spectacular things with your Goodwill finds, let us know! We’d love to feature you.
