   I wish I had known this.  I just donated a bunch of children’s clothes on Saturday :/
   The guy there knew I did too.  All he asked me was  if I wanted a tax receipt.  I didn’t.  But would have loved a coupon on future purchases since we have been shopping there a lot here lately.

     Paula – There’s still plenty of time to take advantage of the sale. You can register online to receive a 25% discount or, talk to your donation center to see if they can provide you a coupon.

   I used to donate items often in order to get my tax receipt and 20% off coupon. This only encourages people to lay off the regular donating until they can get their coupons. I would like to see Goodwill go back to giving the 20% at every donation to THANK people for their donation AND encourage shopping at their stores.

     Chris – Thanks for your comment. While it may not be a coupon to a department store like The Bon-Ton Stores, many Goodwills do offer rewards programs for frequent shoppers. What that means is that you don’t even have to donate to receive a discount, you simply sign up.

     Bert – Each Goodwill sets its own policies and promotions. So, it’s possible that your local Goodwill simply stopped one their store promotions.

     The Goodwill Sale runs twice a year in areas served by The Bon-Ton Stores. If you’re in one of these areas, we encourage you to participate.

     @Joe – The Fall Goodwill Sale is coming up. In the meantime, your local Goodwill may be offering coupons.

   Is there a limit on how many discount coupons you receive?  I have two bags full of clothes to donate!  Is it 20% off each item or can they be combined?

     Each donated item gives you one 20% coupon, but only one coupon can be used per item – no combining.
