Goodwill Bins in Brooklyn Park

"I love going here! But not many people do... Here's why: it's affectionately referred too by my friends as "The Dig". Everything is placed into big bins on wheels and you go in, take a cart, and literally start digging! You find something you potentially want and put it in your cart. Once you have a bunch of stuff on your cart, go through it, decide what you REALLY want, toss what you don't want back, and if you want to continue digging, go for it. They roll out new bins about every 20 minutes or so. And it's EXCITING!Stop digging when you like. The pricing is by the pound and per item. (Less than $1.50 on both- I can't recall right now!) 90% of the items are in excellent condition, and I've found tons of name brand clothing (I haven't really looked in the housewares or furniture yet, but I've heard of and seen some people get amazing items for SUPER cheap) I did find a gold and silver heart pendant with a diamond in it on a silver chain in a velvet bag hiding one of the clothing bins. You never know what will be in there! If you're looking for specific items or you want a quick shopping stop, this isn't your place. If you like the excitement of the unknown, go here. You won't be disappointed."

"Potential to get hands down the greatest deals ever but you must like digging and searching. It is like Black Friday every 20 minutes when they bring out new bins and is fun to watch people dog as fast as they can looking for stuff. 0-9.99 pounds is $1.49 per pound, 10-24.99 pounds is $1.29 per pound, & 25+ pounds is $.99 per pound"

"I’ve come here a few times over the past month. I’m new to the bins. I will return because I’ve found some good stuff while digging. I don’t understand why they don’t pair up the shoes here when they get donated with a rubber band like the Salvation Army bins does. It’s ridiculous to have to try to match up a shoe in like ten different bins full of single shoes especially when some people take 20 single shoes out of the bins super quick. It seems like they’d sell a lot more shoes if they paired them up, and stop a lot of needless chaos of people each having one shoe and who gets the other one. I’m very disgusted by the way the security guards treat their paying customers here. We are NOT animals or criminals please don’t yell at us and treat us like we are. We are human beings. The workers here are so disrespectful to their customers for no reason. I’m new to the bins and don’t know all the rules yet and I’d appreciate being told professionally/politely the proper etiquette instead of being screamed at like i’m a naughty toddler. Why is it okay in this day and age for a worker in a store to just scream and yell at their customers??? This behavior from a store employee isn’t acceptable anywhere."

"Great goodwill bins that's bright, open and reasonably clean with ample parking. There's a whole bins shopping protocol that you get the hang of after a bit, I just watched what everyone else did! They bring out new merchandise every 20 minutes or so and they stop bringing out new stuff around 3 p.m. I live on the edge and don't wear gloves when I'm there since it's easier to tell fabric quality quickly when you can actually feel it, but some people do. Lots of people shop there, but it seems like everyone is looking for different stuff and there's plenty for all. I always leave with at least 10-15 treasures for my resale shop."
