They already have, it was because of Sandy that slowed everything down didn't ya know.
But for real anyone who shops regularly and has a few kids to raise and isn't on the government handout line knows things are bad out there. I read nearly half the jobs being created are low to min. wage jobs and part time at that. I don't care what the WH says food prices are way up. And I am not a snob but go buy cloths anyplace but WallyWorld (The worse Quality Kids Cloths Ever)and see how much teenagers cloths have gone up. If you buy quality that will last longer then a month you know what I a speaking of.

Value Village, St. Vincent de Paul and Goodwill. 

By the way, thing that were 99¢ four years ago are now $ 4.99.  My wife goes into these places looking for very old material for making quilts.  Something that you can not find other places.

I do believe it's a Goodwill that just opened here in our town, this place puts most clothing stores to shame. Brand new High Dollar building with prices to match. I always thought they were non profit inexpensive used cloths. Not! My daughter and I have find cheaper clothing in Target.

Not bad for a Non profit, as I said the one here would put most clothing stores to shame.

QuoteThe married couple who run 36 Goodwill secondhand stores stretching from Durham to Jacksonville are taking home a combined compensation of nearly $800,000, a sum raising eyebrows for a nonprofit that sells donated clothing and books.

Goodwill Community Foundation president Dennis McLain is paid $430,000 a year in salary and benefits, including membership at Raleigh's exclusive Capital City Club, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday

The Salvation Army is one of the last honest organizations left.
