Goodwill Bins in San Luis Obispo

"I'm not going to lie, I have found a couple of treasures here. Was it worth it? Not if you're driving 2 hours to get there. This is not a bin style YouTube looking Goodwill outlet. Great if you live in the area. I have been to several bins and this place is not anything like any other bins. A big sign tells you how much everything is. Only clothes are weighed. Home decor are priced 1-$3 I think but if it is half a pound you're still paying $1-3. I think some items were even $5. As for bins?, no. Everything I wanted like home decor are in big cardboard boxes. If you can bend and touch your toes then you can dig to the bottom. Oh and those boxes are in the darkest area, no light, weird right? Now let's talk about the big shockers when you walk in. Excuse me, where is the outlet? This is it. This is it? Yes that's it. Gotta be 2000 square feet or less. No no It's probably closer to 1500. What really upset me most is rushing from Sam Fransisco to find out they are closing at 3pm. I'm sticking to my local Goodwill bins. 7 days a week and closes at 8pm. At least 20,000 square feet or more. Happy shopping"

"This is a goodwill outlet where all the rejected items from other goodwill stores end up mostly. They sell clothes by $2.xx /pound. All items with a sticker is NOT actual price, bring to counter and the sales clerk will discount even further. Found pairing knives were .25 each, sporting good items were $1, wii games $1, tons of great finds & deals. Most clothing will require digging as its in multiple mountain piles. Very unique and most awesome goodwill you'll ever go to."

"Many years ago and I mean many years ago this place was the place to go, the thrift store of all thrift stores you could beat the prices and the staff,well they went over and beyond not only where they helpful but no matter what you could guarantee they will work with you on the prices when your checking out I mean after all this is a thrift store unfortunately I can’t say that now for a thrift store, their prices are well it’s still a thrift store but I don’t think the staff knows that because when they eagerly spit out your total, you would’ve thought you were shopping at gap or express not the Goodwill outlet not only that but 3 times i’ve been accused of shop lifting because apparently changing your mind, before checking out and returning the item or items back where you found them is not allowed I didn’t know it was a crime to not purchase everything you were thinking about getting. Most people shopping at thrift stores are shopping there because they don’t have the means to shop at other more expensive stores. but then to be treated with such disrespect while shopping at a thrift store of all places and one like this is just lame."

"Always a treasure hunt but so worth it. Proceeds from sales support employment and education. Item prices are not marked on many items but all items are priced at checkout. ( Most things are one to $10.) Don't haggle it is always worth the price asked. Clothes by the pound. Example of some of the items purchased. Wood Chipper works and looked new Retail $1100 Paid $100. Prada bag (real) Retail $1680 Paid $5. Pepsi vending machine Retail $4600 Paid $50 + New lock. Kirby Vacuums Retail (Could my get a firm retail price) but I got it for $10. Always worth stopping and shopping!"
