The time of year that parents love and some kids dread is just around the corner: Back-To-School!
This Thursday, most CMS students will return to school for another year of learning and growing. And we mean that literally – they grow out of their clothing so quickly that it seems they need a completely new wardrobe every year!
Believe it or not, you don’t have to break the bank to find great kid’s clothing for this upcoming school year. Head to one, (or more) of Goodwill’s 20 local stores, where you can find great clothing and great values every single day.
Plus, you can feel good about the values you find, knowing that 90 cents of every dollar you spend in our stores goes back into our community, funding Goodwill’s job training and employment programs.
Since most children’s items at Goodwill are priced at around $2.49 each, you can snag an outfit of new and gently-used designer brands. Just think: For $5 per outfit, you can dress your kiddo in great-looking clothes at a fraction of department store prices.
(You can find a full price list on our web site, here.)
You don’t have to take our word for it–check out the outfits our fabulous stylist and Goodwill shopper Haley pulled together this week. Don’t they look great?

Oddly enough, my 7 year old girl LOVES the fake fur on jackets, sweaters and coats!
Would love clothes for preschool – easy on off, comfy. Also a winter coat
My son is looking for almost anything purple. For sure some JB influence happening there.
I have 3 boys (2,4,6) and expecting a baby girl in 2-3 weeks. As metioned in the article, kids grow so fast and need new wardrobes every year. Imagine with 4 kids! My 2 year old love Thomas the train & my 4 and 6 yr old like anything with super heroes (Spiderman, Ironman, Transformers, ect). Also, since we will be having a girl for the first time we obviously need lots stuff for her! Plus with fall/winter around the corner all kids will need new stuff!
My kid is begging for a hoodie, but is very particular. It can’t be too big, nor too little. It can be zip up, but can’t have strings. It can’t have any text/graphic on it, for fear of it going immediately out of style.
Now – to find that at Goodwill is my next task
we love good will
Hollister hoodies! Mayeb we’ll be lucky enough to find one at our fave Goodwill store!
My six year old daughter wants a pair of the Skechers Twinkle Toes light up shoes.
Well, he’s not begging for anything but a new transformer, but my Kindergartener can use some new pants!
Oddly enough, my daughter isn’t too picky as long as it isn’t too frilly and it’s comfy!
I LOVE shopping at Goodwill. That’s where I get most of my work clothes, and that’s where I plan on getting my daughter’s clothes as she grows. She’ll be attending day care this fall and I need some more clothes for the colder months!
My son needs some more jon jons and smocked outfits!
The Goodwill in Cornelius is having a sale on Monday {Labor Day} and everything in the store is 50% off. The selection is plentiful — just got a bag full of clothes for $28 on Tuesday.
