Goodwill Bins & Outlet Stores
Near You
Goodwill Outlet stores -- also called "Goodwill Bins" -- sell donated items by the pound in large rolling bins. Most locations charge around $1.49 per pound, making it one of the cheapest ways to thrift in America.
How Goodwill Bins Work
Items Are Donated
Goodwill receives millions of donations. Items that don't sell in retail stores after a set period move to the outlet.
Bins Are Filled
Large rolling bins are filled with unsorted merchandise -- clothing, electronics, housewares, books, and more.
Shop by the Pound
Instead of per-item pricing, you pay by weight. Most outlets charge $1.49 per pound for soft goods and flat rates for hard goods.
Bins Rotate Regularly
New bins roll out throughout the day. Shoppers line up for fresh bins -- it's part of the experience.

Tips for Shopping Goodwill Bins
Bring gloves
Bins are unsorted, so wearing gloves helps you dig comfortably through mixed merchandise. Many regulars use gardening gloves or nitrile gloves.
Go early for the best selection
The most experienced shoppers arrive when the store opens. Fresh bins that roll out in the morning tend to have the best items.
Check hard goods pricing separately
While soft goods (clothing, linens, shoes) are typically sold by the pound, hard goods like electronics, books, and housewares often have separate flat-rate pricing.
Inspect items carefully
All sales at Goodwill Outlets are final. Check electronics, zippers, seams, and stains before putting items in your cart.
Bring your own bags or bins
Some outlets provide carts, but having your own reusable bags or containers makes sorting and carrying easier.
