Are charity (thrift) shops pricing themselves out the market by inflating prices?
Have charity-thrift shops, turned greedy, charging high prices and degraded the purpose? has big business found a new cash-cow to milk?
Answer
I believe so. as a child from a single parent family, my sister and i got our winter coats from the goodwill e
year, since it was all our mother could afford. now as an adult shopper, i wonder where the poor, or the less privileged families have to shop for warm clothing when the prices of clothing in these stores are truly appalling! it seems to me that they no longer cater to the needy as initially intended, and it really is unfortunate, considering that charity is what the donors have in mind each time they make a clothing donation (or other types) to these institutions.
