Color of the Week

What is the Color of the Week for Goodwill?

Goodwill is known to offer up some of the nation’s biggest bargains, but with the weekly in-store sales, we go even further. At Goodwill of Greater Washington, our version of the sale runs daily. That means 50% off every day of the week, depending on the color of the week.

We have five colors:

• Lavender
• Green
• Orange
• Blue
• Yellow

For example:
On an orange week, all items with an orange tag, sticker, or barb are 50% off for everyone.

No memberships, no coupons, forget Black Friday – our 50% off sale runs every day of the week, all year round. Only the best prices and pure shopping freedom for all!

When Does the Color of the Week Change?

There is one color for each week (Monday through Sunday), at which point the next color goes into effect for the following week. The color weeks are always in the same order, so many in the community don’t even need a schedule because they know it by heart! Once all five colors have been cycled through, the cycle begins again.

Is the Color Sale Online?

Unfortunately, the Goodwill, 50% off sale is only for our retail stores. That doesn’t mean you can’t still get incredible value (plus the added convenience) of shopping Goodwill online – but for half-off items, you’re going to have to come to see us in person!
