Goodwill Bins in Windcrest

"First off I want to give a shout out to Kaisha , hope I spelled her name right, she is a cashier there and just super nice and made my daughter’s and my day, thank you!!! The people here in general are just super nice I talked with several of my fellow shoppers and we all pitched in to help each find things instead of having to go through each bin ourselves! So if you like the Goodwill you have to check this place out! Though warning if you don’t like to dig through things and don’t have a lot of time maybe you won’t like it as much as I did. You also have to have gloves or you can’t go in, it can be a bit dirty though the clothes and blankets and such were separate from the dirtier items. For me this is an all day even ‘t if you want something specific it might not be where to go. That said I did need a vacuum for my son and they had several and an outlet to check to make sure it worked at only 5 bucks you can’t beat it! I had the good luck of finding new Abercrombie & Fitch jeans in my size , a pair of loft dress slacks, also new with tags still on them and several other new items! The price is 1.87 I believe a pound when I did the math per item it came up to around 30 cents an item but I bought a bunch of small light weight items too so that does effect the price but no matter what an absolute steal of a deal! I could say more but go find out for yourselves and I wish you good findings! I’m going to post some pictures of just a few of the awesome things I have gotten here so check those out! I need to post some pictures of the beautiful designer clothes still. I wanted to add on to this post a shout out to Dwain who is always friendly and helpful in anyway he can. Also a shout out to Lisa who runs the front and has a lot going on but still shines through it all! Thank you for being great employees and people !"

"Ok.. This place is not like a regular Goodwill where things are on shelves. Nothing is organized and stuff is placed in bin with wheels. You pay by the pound. Some stuff really looks like it belongs in the trash. Don't expect to find things clean and bring your gloves. The sucky part is the vendors acting like vultures and go on "attack mode" when the employees refill the bins and bring out. That's my only pet peeve. The resellers or vendors can get nasty and rude. There are rules in place that you shouldn't push etc but it just better to stay away if your a shrimpie like me. I needed a back pack and some boots. I did manage to find a decent back pack, suitcase with wheels that worked, and 3 pair of boots. Everything was under 20 bucks. I'll be back here again. It's a hit or miss when looking for stuff."

"BRING RUBBER GLOVES!!! Do you really have what it takes to be a true treasure hunter? How about a second hand shop keeper? This is the Ultimate Ninja Games of the second hand economy. Come... see what marvels you can uncover from the giant blue bins that are rolled out by the staff. You will wait on the edge of your toes as fresh blue bins are rolled out. Like a kid hope up on pixie stix awaiting their turn on a new round of Duck Duck Gose... you dont want to miss these bins. Speed walk, dodge, dig and goble up as much stuff as you can carry in 3 minutes before you can bring in reinforcements with a buddy and a beat up shopping cart. It's real life HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS!!! Must go just for the experience. Tons of fun!!! Jokes a side.. im aware for some folks this is their lifelyhood. Im not making fun, I do enjoy going to places like these to find trasures of my own. I also get to meet folks of all walks of life in places like these. We all have our reasons for being there. FYI please pay attention to the staff and listen to their instructions. They are doing their best to make sure it is a good experience for everyone. Do not be mean or get violent with other folks...it will get you banned from the store. Just be nice and have fun. You will not be allowed to stay without gloves. Make sure you bring them. With some patience, and TLC you can find some nice stuff here. Keep your eyes open. Its part of the hunt experience."

"As a single parent, I recently visited one of your Goodwill Outlet locations seeking affordable clothing options. Unfortunately, I was denied entry because my three-year-old child was not permitted inside. As someone with limited childcare options, this experience was both discouraging and disheartening. I want to express my deep concern about this policy. For many families like mine, Goodwill represents a place of hope and accessibility — a resource meant to support those navigating financial hardship. However, policies that exclude parents with young children directly contradict that mission. Additionally, I’ve noticed a significant increase in pricing at standard Goodwill stores, which has made even basic necessities difficult to afford. To be turned away at the outlet — the one place meant to remain accessible — felt not only unfair but also completely out of touch with the challenges faced by struggling families. I urge Goodwill to reevaluate these policies and consider the real-world impact they have on parents and caregivers. Your organization’s stated purpose is to help individuals in need, and this kind of restriction undermines that mission entirely."
