And Goodwill sells them. Have you ever walked into one of their stores and look around? Many of their clothing prices are around the same, or just below walmart prices. They arent doing anyone any favors.

Gotta stick up for Goodwill here. I haven't seen this at all (Ohio). Our local Goodwill is incredibly low priced and I generally enjoy shopping there. Or at least sitting in a chair for an hour or so while my four teen/preteen daughters get their own cart and shop like they're on rodeo drive (very vivid imaginations they have). Two or three times a year the total bill comes to about $50, and the kids are thrilled.

90% of what the store has is junk, IMO, but the kids treat it as a sort of treasure hunt.

Count your blessings. My local Goodwill is waay over-priced. So is the other so-called thrift store, St. Vinnie's. I've seen stuff, like housewares, in both stores, priced in excess of new price.
