To Poor For Goodwill what has this world came to...

Where has this country gone when you are to poor to shop at the Goodwill store.  Ok I understand they are trying to make a little cash flow to help the disable adults in our area but come on people these items are donated, why do you have to make it ,possible for some one to shop there. Do you really need to make so much of a profit off one pair of pants or a coat. The prices they have are just as high s going to Walmart. Now if i could have went to Walmart I would have went there to start with.  What about everyone that truly has nothing and all they need is a winter coat. You post all these adds about helping out your community by donating you used coats then I walk in there and you want $25 for that donated coat. You tell me how someone hard up has to choose between food and clothing can afford that. (now don't get me wrong I am in a bad fix but I haven't dropped that far yet but who's to say it wouldn't happen tomorrow or next week there are people living in the street and under the bridge that can muster a few bucks together and you want them to pay $25 freaking dollar for a coat) I see older people that are buying cat food and saying its for Fluffy and we all know Fluffy has been dead for years. They used to be able to go to Goodwill or Salvation Army and get at least warm clothes if they needed, now they cant do that because they want to charge you a arm and a leg for every thing they have.  I know that I will never donate to theses places again. I will take my used clothing, home good or what ever and just go in the street and see who needs it. I want to collect coats and just give them out FREE to these people who need them.
