Goodwill

This is the best possible rating for an Outlet in my opinion. For those who aren’t outlet shoppers, it can be overwhelming. So I don’t like giving 5 stars and people walking in just to walk out. You need a mindset of sifting, rummaging, picking, etc. there are several people who dislike this type of layout. In all honesty as a kid I was one of those types. Now, after some major changes, some beyond my control, leading to a compete change in every part if my life. I resell. The majority of the customers are resellers. If your not, don’t be offended if someone gets in your way to snatch something out from under your face. Unfortunately, with all the adrenaline going and the chaos created simply from having bins full of items, it gets a little childish. We (resellers) have all had our moments getting to into the process of digging. Don’t let anyone tell you they love that item you picked up sooooooo much, they have never seen one like it, they collect those, and get to feeling bad. They may or may not but it’s a first come first serve you got it first. Never let a kid take your item, never let anyone tell you their kid is looking for that item. I’ve been that kid, my mother had me hustling all sorts of cheaper prices and not only is that manipulative, it encourages deceptive and aggressive people to do the things they do. Lots of people are barely making ends meet. For every Pawn Star there are at least 50 C-​list sellers. Anyway I’m about to head to this store now, and a free a recent unpleasant taste from a different location. I felt the need to say, even the intense moments here are okay. There’s always going to be the time shoe people start arguing and people get elbowed a little. I personally will have no less than one time flipping out expletives from loosing a personal item I brought inside. The people who work at this location are nice, and they keep the merchandise flipped frequently. Wow, that was super long. When I review other outlets I’ll have to refer people back to this. Have fun, don’t take yourself too seriously. There’s enough people have to worry about on the daily, no need to add to it! Enjoy.

Although you have to drive pretty far back into an industrial park, it’s totally worth it if you happen to be nearby! I scored a pair of uggs here for $ 2.09. There were three other pairs in the bin but they were water damaged or had holes beyond repair.

Last week, I did show up unprepared: no gloves etc. I quickly re-​purposed a youth lacrosse stick for moving the ‘goods”. I found a next-​to-​new silk designer tie. «Olivia» my friend’s granddaughter, got a personalized wooden clothes hanger. The workmanship on that alone was amazing. A Williams Sonoma recipe journal– binder was sitting in its box, never opened and waiting to be claimed (at book rate, I might add). A vintage Julius Resnick handbag will find its second wind, along with the crochet, macramé bag that took me back to my hippy days for just a few seconds. The damage: I got change back from a five dollar bill. Cha-​ching!!! I was present for the switcheroo. That is always an experience. Just like anywhere, the place has it’s share of rude people. I have to say, that I encountered many more respectful, friendly people. In other words, we steered clear of the madness and still managed to land some mighty fine «leftovers.»

Good place to look for bargains don’t really like how they throw glassware in the bins can be dangerous.. If the other goodwill stores would price their items better there wouldn’t be broken china dolls with 19.99 price tags in the bins. Everyone is very nice that works there. Customers at times are very rude, when the bins are changed. It’s every man for themself.

I absolutely LOVE this place. The people who work there are extremely nice and have a great sense of humor. As other people said, this is not like a normal thrift store. There are hardcore regulars, and depending on how long you stay or what time of day you show up will depend on what kind of experience you have.
I have found some really amazing things, but then again I know a lot of people who go there with me and never find anything good. I think it just depends on your luck and persistence.
If you are an avid thrifter, I would recommend checking it out.

Note there is a typo in the street name – it’s Benigno Blvd.

This was my first time at a Goodwill outlet. Everything is thrown into bins. Things will not be placed in a particular bin so jeans may be in a bin with purses, an air conditioner unit and a toaster. For 99 cents a pound what more do you want.
Once they are ready for the new bins to come out everyone circles around the new bins and once they are ready people run towards the bins. Different kind of experience.
The people that were used to this place had gloves on to search through the bins. I would recommend bringing gloves. There are no fitting rooms.

All items are sold by the pound. New items rotate out every two hours. When new merchandise is wheeled out… it is a MAD DASH to it! Everything is dumped into bins — and I mean everything… clothing with housewares with glasses with toys. Plan time to DIG. Many shoppers were wearing cloth gloves to protect their skin.
The store is otherwise very clean and bright. Management and staff were friendly.
This type of shopping experience will NOT be for everyone — but for those that have time to dig… happy shopping!
