Why Shopping by the Pound Is the Best Way to Save This Spring

Spring cleaning season is here, and as March 20 marks the first day of spring, many families across the Mississippi Gulf Coast are decluttering closets and looking for a fresh start.

But what if your spring refresh didn’t cost a fortune?

At Goodwill Industries of South Mississippi's Outlet Store offers something not every community has, the chance to shop by the pound, and it just might be the best way to save this season.

Not Your Typical Thrift Store

The Goodwill Outlet is completely different from traditional retail stores.

Instead of racks, items are placed in large bins. Shoppers browse, dig, and discover clothing, shoes, books, and home goods and pay by the pound.

If you’re searching for affordable clothing in South Mississippi, this is where the real deals happen. New bins roll out every 30 minutes.

Fresh inventory hits the floor throughout the day, giving shoppers constant opportunities to find something new. It’s fast-paced. It’s exciting. And no two visits are ever the same.

Open 6 Days a Week

The Goodwill Outlet South Mississippi is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed Sundays).

With constantly rotating inventory and six days a week to shop, it’s easy to make it part of your regular routine, especially during spring cleaning season.

Spring Cleaning That Pays Off

When you donate during spring cleaning, you’re helping keep usable items out of local landfills. Many of those items get a second life at the Outlet, where they can be reused, upcycled, or resold.

Shopping by the pound reduces waste, promotes reuse, and supports mindful shopping across South Mississippi.

Every Purchase Supports Local Impact

Revenue from the Goodwill Outlet helps fund workforce development programs, career center services, youth employment initiatives, and the Goodwill Reads childhood literacy program right here in our community.

So while you’re saving money, you’re also supporting opportunity across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Experience why shopping by the pound is the best way to save in South Mississippi. The best deals roll out in bins!
