Goodwill Bins in Salem

"The “digging bins” is a great place to find decorations for your home, electronics, shoes, clothing, bed linens, hats, books, you name it. There’s usually a line at the entrance before it opens. Some people sell on eBay and Amazon and want to find the best items It’s a neat place"

"The outlet store is my go to. Highly recommended. Picked up $175 worth of New Halloween stuff with tags still on for $9. You can also find sewing patterns for extremely cheap because it’s based on pounds. I found vintage sewing patterns in excellent condition here some weren’t even used. It’s all about continuously coming back and checking through all bins. I do recommend you bring gloves to search through some of the bins."

"I have been coming here for a few years. Yes Great Deals etc but the clients some of them try to size each other up. It’s a pity that I round up, pick up broken glass in bins, gave even gifts to a couple workers bc I know it’s not a picnic to work there with all the drama. Lots of great deals yes but be ready for pesky drama and the new co manager needs to stop talking down to people, telling you to pick up every item that hits the floor by mistake. That’s part of the workers job. I have to clean up the floors where I have worked, why can’t she? Sure a few fights here that can be laughable but very irritating to a paying customer that helps the Goodwill mission so to speak. People talk about each other under their breath make racist comments about black white, Hispanic, Indian etc. Enter at your own risk. People also steal and take stuff out of each other’s carts. A shame that the bigger picture can’t be seen that if you are in the store you obviously are in need of some of the items they provide at lower by the pound prices. I did call your Corporate office, you bet I did bc I’m not going to be intimated by people saying they are willing to fight you like been on the streets bc the aisles are cluttered. Been to Staunton, Richmond, Greensboro, Baltimore and even Hollywood Goodwill outlets not as much drama and well frankly that bathroom is just disgusting."

"Love the Outlet. You can get some good deals if you don't mind digging through the bins. They sell the items that didn't sell in the other Goodwill's."
