Goodwill Bins in Panorama City

"This Goodwill is one where you have to dig through bins elevated on mobile tables. There are typically around 10 to 12 bins out at any time and if you get lucky they will switch them out while you are there so you can get a crack at some fresh merchandise. Yes, you really have to dig through to find some decent things, but I came out of there with Rock and Republic jeans and a gorgeous black dress from Express (both had a busted zipper, but it was an easy fix with an online tutorial). I've had a lot of luck getting some nice t-shirts and a few excellent vintage pieces. The clothing typically runs around two dollars an item, so I am willing to spring a little extra effort on dry cleaning or fixing a popped seam. I also try to schedule at least a solid hour to be there to search, but I have spent up to two hours really plowing through the bins when I am on a mission. The store itself is well lit, clean, and staff is friendly. There is free off street parking. You don't pay much when you go, but you have to work for your finds."

"This is my first experience with the blue bins. I found it extremely funny the way people line up and wait for the bins to come out and when the fourth bin comes out that basically is to go ahead to look in the bins get out what you want. I did not dig through the clothes bins because I was not there for that. But they did have four bins that had DVDs VHS and books which were all $1.25 each. Just before I left they brought a blue bin out with electronics in it such as earbuds Chargers cigarette lighter chargers for your USB and Etc. I found these very good value because they also were weighed by the pound. Earbuds were approximately 24 cents each, cigarette lighter Chargers that plug into a cigarette lighter with one or two USB slots and Accord where approximately 24 cents each. I bought a few electronics a bunch of DVDs and found it enlightening way to do things. To all the naysayers that think this is terrible you have your opinion. Personally I thought it was funny and affordable."

"Everything is in big blue tubs, nothing is organized, if you are looking for something your going to have to sort through for any sizing on clothes, shoes, etc. Not to mention the miscellaneous items have glass and the majority of it is broken in the tub you are digging through."

"It's messy, but very inexpensive. You have to dig A LOT to find articles of clothing you might like. Parking is easy and clothes were $1.99 per pound! I got about 13 items of clothing for $7.48! It was AMAZING. Not the best deal if you're getting books or electronic items be sure hey measure by weight, but definitely worth the trip if you're looking to save money."
