Goodwill Bins in San Bernardino

"Not my favorite bins location but it is the closest to me and any location beats a traditional retail location when you are buying in bulk. Yes, it is disorganized. Yes, it is messy and dirty. Yes, you have to dig to find the treasures. That is why it is so cheap. Show me any retail thrift store that beats $2.XX/lb for clothing. I actually work for a thrift store (different chain) and our cheapest adult clothing is $4.79 for sleeveless tops (even basic camis). And we are the best priced thrift store in town. If you are shopping for personal use, this is probably not the type of store for you. Unless you like the thrill of the hunt. The chances of finding what you are looking for are slim to none, so go to a regular thrift store or a big box store and pay more. If you are a reseller, the bins are a no brainer. Personally, I'm not sure why you would even go to the bins unless you are a reseller. As far as them not allowing kids... Why would you even take a kid to the bins? Especially a baby? It's dirty, messy and can be downright dangerous. You will need to be there for several hours if you hope to find anything. Plus they are usually not in the best part of town. How are you going to watch your kids while you are digging through the bins? That's just asking for problems. And before anyone asks, I have 5 kids. Never have I taken them to the bins. It is not a kid-friendly place, never has been, never will be. The bins are not for everyone. Clearly."

"If you are looking to stock up on clothes and other items, you will find good stuff here. You can pay by weight and less price per pound before 11 am. Keep in mind this is not your typical GW, people here are serious about finding treasures they can resell or use themselves. If you grab it is yours, if you leave it is someone else's. So be nice and respectful, there are regulars that depend on this place so be friendly."

"This Goodwill outlet store does not disappoint. If you have young children, this is not the place to bring them as other posters have mentioned and yes, the majority of the items in the store are fabric related, meaning, blankets, pillows, curtains, clothing, etc. my mother comes here to load up on blankets for the homeless. She’ll buy two cart carts full of warm blankets to pass out every week. Considering the blankets are under three dollars each, it is a great store for her purpose!! so far, all of the team members have been very nice and polite. Thank you!"

"Always find something good just go with at least two hours to dig or you won't find much. There are different rules depending what location you go to as to when you're allowed to touch the new bins they bring out. Don't go after 5 pm, they don't put any new products out after that and they put away the hard goods and shoes till closing."
