Goodwill Bins in Long Beach

"Bring gloves or hand sanitizer , water to drink, lots of time, patience and get ready to dig in. The staff is friendly but beware there are a bunch of aggressive and rude patrons😒 People do not obey orders, for instance when the staff is changing tables/bringing out new merchandise they ask that you not go into the bins until the chain is all the way across and not to run. Well, there is always a handful that actually follow those rules while the folks that are challenged in the courteous and let's be civil to each other arena just take off and snatch everything in sight. To avoid that, I attempted to pass to the next table and a lady kept pushing her a@# into me to prevent me from passing her, didn't want me to get ahead to the tables that she had yet to examine before she did, I suppose. 😒 Umm, yeah I aint no punk 🤣🤣 so I scooted right on thru and managed to find a great camera. So get in there, don't be afraid, if you search you can find some cool stuff."

"The location was easy to find and there are plenty of free street parking. They have shopping carts and list out the prices on what the items cost. At the time I was there, it was $1 each clothing. Music is playing while you dig through the bins so it makes the time by fast. The only I did like was, everything is mixed up so there are no separations between, men, woman, kids etc you literally have to sort it throughout. I did found a few good clothes that I liked. Also the staff was nice and very helpful."

"Awesome staff , great deals, very clean, never disappoints. Its no longer $1per lbs. I believe its $1 per item now which is still a great deal. Great place to find bedding for sure. You can find new sheet sets there often for only $1 that would cost over $200 in the store. Always new stuff every 30min or so. Sometimes the crowd of regulars are pushy and annoying and they tend to horde a lot of stuff then toss it back later but you get kinda used to it. (not much else you can do) but the people that work there have worked there a long time and are always happy to see you and welcoming. The employees there are reason enough for a 5star rating. Can't say enough good stuff about this spot and their staff."

"Hit or miss! I’ve found some treasures like designer shoes, silk scarves, niche designer clothing, but there are days where I leave with nothing, too. What keeps me from going more often is that they now require that everyone move to the perimeter to wait (no shopping) while tables are changed. It makes the experience take 4 times as long, since most of the time I’m not interested in running to the new bin anyway. i understand it’s because customers were not following directions, but I’d really rather continue searching the older bins while people wait for the new one. 😄 also, they sometimes charge you PER item in a set. It’s kind of ridiculous given that these things are on their way to a landfill. I wanted to buy a small bag of fabric appliqué odds and ends and they charged me per appliqué — something I would have never purchased for that price at a thrift store lol they done that to me for old dinner napkins before, too. So $12 for a set of 6 old napkins 💀"
