Shopper slams Goodwill for ‘overcharging’ on donated wedding dresses – but others think they’re great deals
A SAVVY shopper has called out a popular thrift store chain, claiming the prices for wedding dresses are far from a bargain.
She criticized the cost of the gowns at Goodwill, going as far to say that the business is making a 100 percent profit on the pieces.

Erin Schmalz (@biggeschmalz) filmed herself browsing the racks of the consignment shop in a video on TikTok.
“Goodwill has lost their damn mind,” read the text.
The camera panned over the rack of bridal gowns, with some price tags reading nearly $150.
“These were donated,” she added.
Erin shared that she felt the prices were too high for a second-hand shop.
She said: “$150? They’re making 100 percent profit. There is absolutely no reason for their s**t to be priced this high.”
The video drew in many viewers who shared their two cents on the wedding dress prices.
“People saying that’s good don’t understand,” one wrote. “Nothing at Goodwill should be that much. That place isn’t just for middle class that want a bargain.”
“A $150 [wedding dress] is reasonable if you directly buy it from a reseller, but when it was given away for free to then just be priced high by a company is robbery,” another added.
“That’s cheap,” a third chimed in.
“I think that’s a good price even for Goodwill. Some of those dresses are like $1200,” yet another wrote.
“I’m not a fan of Goodwill, however, $150 for a wedding gown is still a bargain,” one more added.
One viewer offered advice on where to score a wedding dress when shopping on a budget.
“Shein has wedding dresses — pretty ones, too,” the commenter advised. “Goodwill used to sell wedding dresses for $25.”
