Goodwill Bins in Reno

"OMG! Ok I absolutely love this place. You have to mentally prepare yourself to get your hands dirty and come energized! I am not sure how often they add or change the bins BUT regardless you cannot beat $1.25 per lb. I found many books for both adults and children. Yes some of them are in poor condition but if you take your time to look you can find some pretty good, clean and decent books. Shoes and purses… again they have a lot of old used things BUT keep looking and you will find something. I found 1 pair of new sandals and a new pair of boots. It’s the best place to get clothing as well. I found very nice shirts for my girls and some even have tags on em. This place gets packed and it’s hard to use a cart in here so bring a shopping bag instead. They have bathrooms available but did not use em. For some reason there was 1 cashier (both times I came) so you do have to wait in line for long periods of time. Staff is friendly. Of course I will come back next time I’m in Reno."

"I was shopping at the bargain bin today and I was under the impression that it closed at 8 (thats what it says online), however, that was only the thrift store side. Maybe add another business with different hours? Also, while I was standing in line I was going through my cart to organize/decide whether or not I wanted everything I picked out. When suddenly myself and other customers started getting scolded for going through the bins by the manager. (they are parallel to the checkout line). She threaten to kick us out and not allow us to buy our items. We then Went next door to the thrift side and she continued to harass us and make threats if we didn't cooperate. Minding our own business a few minutes later she was STILL making it known to others about us and it made us feel so uncomfortable. She was extremely unprofessional and made myself and others feel unwelcome. We are frequent shoppers here.... She made it extremely clear that SHE was the manager and that it was HER store... well that BOTH stores were HERS."

"So my wife went to the showcase and asked about a bracelet and the employee said it was on hold for someone the next day. What ! Since when does the goodwill hold for a day and if so get it off the floor These thrift stores in town hold items for friends and other employees don’t even bother donating. Too much monkey business. Also the bargain bin next door there is a short male employee shopping in the boats while on duty and management ignores. Employees should be ashamed."

"If you don't mind digging around for a great deal this place is soo much fun. No frills at all. Mostly bins of clothing, blankets, purses, toys etc. Clothes are sold by weight and we scored some great finds. The Outlet is next to an actual goodwill thrift store which has all the normal stuff and is reasonably priced. Plan your trip because the lines get super long on weekends and evenings. Grab a cart in the parking lot if you see one. They are hard to get in the outlet."
