People probably just donate food with the rest of the stuff they are donating rather than finding a free food pantry to put it in. If it is a common thing goodwill should create a free food pantry outside, send it to a food bank or just offer it to employees for free.

Hi, Karen, I've been behind watching your videos, but I'm catching up quickly. Yes to the coffee if it's sealed and the price is right. I remember when visiting the beautiful mountains in North Carolina, I went to a Goodwill store and the clerk graciously offered me lunch and a bottle of water, I accepted the sandwich and the water, never say no to kindness and good fortune.

Hi Karen …the creamer and sugar set ..think you said it was nippon (not sure spelled correct) …you would see the lid inside had a little bit of a lip an the one end(could see it when you picked it up) you have to insert the lid tilted slightly down with that side of the lip going under the rim of the creamer and then it would sit flushed on the creamer ....it’s made that way so lid does not come off when pouring…goodwill rep just taped it laying on top of the creamer instead of inserting into the creamer ….you probably will notice that when edit the video…and go ohhh I missed that!…😊….it was a nice set for resale..

Your videos are a perfect textbook- check each item carefully for any defects and don't buy if it isn't in good condition, check for comps both listed and sold, and don't buy something that's too expensive to ship. If we all followed that, we would be more profitable.

Food from Goodwill is like many other things from Goodwill. It depends: Is it in date? Is it sealed? Is it a value? Those would be the first questions, but I'd skip anything that needs climate control or could go bad if it was handled or left out, of course. But even those who say never, might go ahead and buy boxed NOS items that have some form of edible in the boxed kit or package. Some examples might include: Sealed Baseball card packs from decades ago, that have gum. Holiday Cup Sets that include a cocoa mix pack. Vintage Easy Bake Oven, with cake mixes way out of day. M & M Dispensers, in sealed boxes that have old candy. Re-sellers pick these up routinely and sell them. Sometimes they add a note about the food, gum or candy being out of date, sometimes not. But if you've ever picked up and resold a product like this, then yes, you have purchased edibles from a Thrift Store. I'd have tried the coffee, too! Please let us know if it was good. 😉
