Who knows? During Goodwill stores’ 305 Day Rack promotional week of March 5-12, 2026, maybe you can find a donated used copy of the 1985 “Miami Vice” soundtrack on CD or vinyl for $3.05. The album featured tunes from the hit NBC Don Johnson-Philip Michael Thomas crime drama that was filmed all over South Florida in the mid-1980s.

“Sonny Crockett,” Gloria Estefan, Pitbull and the guy playing dominos on Calle Ocho all walk into a South Florida Goodwill store. For $3.05, you may be able to walk out dressed like any of them.
You never know what you may find hanging on the racks or lining the shelves at your neighborhood Goodwill store. Or who may have donated clothes or other items to Goodwill that scream: “Miami! The 305!”
In celebration of 305 Day on Thursday, Goodwill South Florida conceived its first Miami‑inspired shopping experience for a week.
From March 5–12, every Miami-Dade Goodwill retail store — around 20 of them, from Homestead to Kendall, Hialeah to the Aventura area — will feature a special 305 Day Rack stocked with Miami-themed merchandise.
The cost: Every item will be priced at $3.05, a markdown from the store’s average $7 price range for most button-down shirts, according to Karen Lithgow, chief marketing officer of Goodwill Industries South Florida.
“You might find classic Miami staples like guayaberas, vintage Miami sports tees, Art Deco inspired apparel, bold patterned button downs, beachwear, accessories or even themed home goods. We’ve also seen fun donated items like Miami music CDs and vinyl records — anything that reflects the style, nostalgia or cultural touchpoints of living in the 305,” Lithgow said.

This limited‑time promo is designed to celebrate local culture and give shoppers an affordable way to show off their Miami pride by choosing from merchandise curated from South Florida donations. Items will vary by store.
The focus?
“Items selected for our 305 Day Rack celebrate the colors, culture and personality of Miami. That can mean anything from vibrant tropical prints, pastel or neon color palettes, vintage Miami apparel, beach inspired pieces, or designs featuring palm trees, flamingos, sunsets and other iconic South Florida imagery,” Lithgow said.
“It’s a fun way for shoppers to celebrate Miami Day while still supporting the mission behind our stores,” Lithgow said. “Like every purchase at a Goodwill store, proceeds from this promotion directly support Goodwill South Florida’s workforce training and employment programs for people with disabilities and other barriers to work.”
