Goodwill Bins in Cedar Rapids

"Not your "normal" goodwill this place is unsorted goods dumped into bins and is super cheap! $1.69 per pound!! Every so often they call out over the intercom they are placing new bins and people crowd around them to rummage the good stuff they provide reusable bags just grab one and fill it up. They have scales all around to weigh your loot. You can also fill a cart and they will weigh it up like that minus the tare weight of the cart. Come early and make a day of it! JUST DONT FORGET TO BRING GLOVES THEY ARE REQUIRED!! SOME ITEMS IN BINS ARE SHARP! I found a tape dispenser for packing tape and have used one as a saw once! Be careful and watch for others digging for gold ! It gets crazy!!! While I was there today a guy got minecraft for Xbox one for free because it didn't weigh on the scale and I said to the checkout person to place it on the scale with the next person's items! You never know what you will find here! I got a Pizza Hut cartop sign at the one in Fort Worth Texas for less than 5 bucks and swapped it for a large pizza!!! Today I got a black light flashlight with dead batteries that worked! They have amazon returns!!! 2 bucks for all that stuff below, I wonder what lego set that is!!! 😂"

"I absolutely love hunting through the bins at goodwill outlet, I could spend all day here! It's not a typical goodwill - at goodwill outlets, you dig though huge blue bins with random items inside. These bins are rotated every hour or so. Gloves are required for safety so bring your own (or you can buy a new pair of gloves there for $1.99). Items are sold by weight so ignore any prices that may still be on the items in the bins (the only individually priced items are the really big bulky/furniture items near the back corner of the store). Items are sold at $1.49/pound; paperback books are 25 cents each and hardcover books are 50 cents each. There are a lot of regulars that go here (you can tell by how organized/prepared they seem to be) but as long as you follow the rules (don't take things from other people's carts, don't touch the covered freshly rotated bins until the sheet is taken off by an employee, wear your gloves) you won't have any issues! It's dirty but it's TONS of fun looking for treasure and getting clothes for the lowest prices possible!"

"LOVE shopping here! I can stay for hours. I always leave with lots of treasures for cheap! Rummaging through the bins is like a treasure hunt. If you are willing to look you can find some great stuff. I find clothes with tags all the time and lots of well known brands. At $1.49 a lb clothes are a steal. Paperback books are a quarter and hardbacks are 50 cents. I have a lovely stack of interesting books by my nightstand now. It's always fun when they bring the new bins out! The staff is wonderful. So excited they brought this to Cedar Rapids."

"Been to 50+ of these USA bin stores. This one is smaller, simple, and table changes are often. Some decent finds but no major estate dumpage of smalls. 3.8 stars for store. Good staff. 1 star for the repulsive grabby customers, they're a bit worse than the average bottom dwellers that spoil the fun at bins, litterally touching your hand getting way too awkwardly closer than other locations. Maybe its a weird Iowa thing? Still Good finds if you stand it."
