“Nine Lives is a fun and exciting place to shop. There’s always something new to see, and Roxanne and team are truly kind folks. I really enjoy my weekly trips I’ve been making lately, I feel welcomed and I always walk away from conversations feeling hopeful and inspired in some way or another. There’s definitely lots of love and good vibes here!
As a thrift store, where they rely solely on donors, I think they do a phenomenal job of sourcing a wide range of options that suits everyone! Well done Nine Lives!”
“Need something, and can't quite put your finger on it? You can here, whether it's a 10 watt 1 ohm resistor to reset your car computer safely, leather scraps to make that camping spice bag, or just pure entertainment—take a stroll.”
“I’m addicted… to shopping here. Ya’ll pray for me! If I come home with another stack of records I won’t listen to, another vintage type writer, or more plates i don’t need, my wife gonna chop me up with one of the three sets of knives I bought here.
i have an unhealthy relationship with this store. don’t start because you won’t be able to stop coming here.
imma see you in the sports equipment section. i need football pads for protection when drop kick me.”
“They are always happy to take coats, socks, especially warm ones in fall/winter, sweaters, sweatshirts, flannel shirts, boots, shoes, etc. When you find you don't wear something, don't toss it, donate!”
“I love how the community collaboration between the donated and the handcrafted local artwork and living herbs and plants the unity in the conscious consumer and creator collective is unparalleled!”
“Everyone was super friendly and the shop was well lit and well stocked. They have a lot of supplies for every odd and end you could think of. I bought a couple rubber stamps and only spent 16¢ ! It's great to go to a place that actually can save me money”
“My absolute favorite thrift store. Best prices, excellent selection, great employees, and a place that actually helps out the local community supporting our homeless neighbors with free clothing and lets them shop for what they want. You can always find something here.”
“Do you love to look thru random things, and wonder if you could Reuse things for other purposes? Do you love a deal? Man! This place is for you! Come here and try to park on the decline angled section near the loading dock, so you don't have to pay to park! Check out my photos, I was there just a few days ago. Books are $0.10/lb and I actually found White Barn candle, used, but for like $2.00 with a discount, I bought kids books & that candle for a total of about $2.57!! Awesome! They do sell other wacky stuff like a diving board! Medical devices, U of M furniture, dentist chairs, massage tables, Gigantic desks, and other weird stuff!”
“Great decor & always fun to search for just the right item. Staff is friendly & helpful. I always find what I need to add finishing touch to my decor. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a treasure hunt.”

“Great place. Big, spacious and has a variety of items that change constantly. The shop people are always helpful and pretty cherry. If you need furniture, paint, building materials, lighting, etc - it's a good way to help your community and find a treasure. Donating is easy also. Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible on the west side of the building.”
“I've gotten very good deals on jeans in excellent condition there - it all depends which day you go. A few cool teeshirts. Very inexpensive lightbulbs. An excellent deal on a very nice laptop case.
On the other hand, the electronic hardware tends to be junk. There are a lot of battery-driven hand drills there without the batteries ..... probably because you can't buy replacement batteries for that model any longer (my experience).
Also the prices on kitchen items are too high for second-hand.
I've even seen packages of greeting cards which had writing in them!”

“I donate here regularly and will continue to do so. They make it very easy, and I love their mission! Shopping here I’ve always found great finds! My kids also enjoy the toy aisle and find great things to spend their allowance money on. Staff have been kind and courteous; on the quiet side which I don’t mind at all! Recommend!”
“Had a lovely experience here today. From the greeter at the door to the person working the jewelry counter, every staff member was kind and helpful. Though some of the prices seemed a bit high, I found a lot of great treasures and 25% came off clothes at the register, which made it more reasonable. I will definitely be back, thank you!”

“The owner is super nice and has helped me patch up several holes in my motorcycle pants, gloves, and even fixed my backpack strap from falling off. Never had a bad experience yet!!
Thank you for your help!!”
“This goodwill is organized well, had a great selection of suits (thanks for keeping the pants and jackets together!!) and overall was very reasonably priced. This is one of the best goodwills in the metro I just wish they would bring back fitting rooms.”
“I don't look at the clothing and can't speak to that but, besides media, other items don't seem priced to sell. Besides media, pricing is not as bad as Savers but not as good as Overflow Community Thrift (just north on Lexington at 96) or Mythrift at Rice and Larpenteur. For media prices, Overflow is better, mythrift and goodwill are comparable, and Savers is way worse.
I come to this goodwill a lot - at least once a week - because it's so close. I usually look for books and DVDs. There's good variety of books but the inventory is stale and browsing can be a nuisance, because you'll see the same books for months on end.
It would be nice to put the newer items on dedicated shelves. I've donated a lot of books to this store and, although they are in as good or better condition than what's on the shelf and generally of comparable (or better) desirability, I don't see them put out and I frequent the store enough that I should. I suspect that as long as the shelves are full they books donated are sent to some central location and sort for selling online.”

“Stopped at this Goodwill to check it out a couple days ago. Really great selection of items but prices could be better for items like Name brand jackets, especially ones with stains. The moment I walked into the store i noticed how friendly the girl at the cash register was. For someone who was working by herself up front with a long line of people, she handled it so well. I would come back to this location!”
“I called and spoke with a manager. I'm sick and needed my wife to answer her phone. The man I talked to was super helpful and got the msg to her. I forgot to say thanks before we got off the phone!!
Thank you for the assistance sir!!”
“This is actually we are being here for just looking around for the anything and everything. And then we're having not find any things so just keep looking around more”
“It's not a bad location but it doesn't have a ton of inventory. Good staff and the parking lot is nice and spacious. It's also very easy to get to off the same road you use to get to walmart, this is actually how I discovered its existence.”
“I think you can find something for everyone here. The clothes are inexpensive, lots of different kitchen gadgets to look at, shoes Electronics almost anything you need”

“This is my first time here at the Roseville Goodwill location, there's plenty of parking, very friendly cashier, about a few parking spots with charging stations? Admittedly I did drive by the entrance and then had to figure out how to turn around because there's no u-turn signs in several places on the street. But that's not the fault of the Goodwill store. Nice clean store, the bathroom was very clean. Nice big stall with handicap railings. I took pictures of the bathroom to help others. So many puzzles at the store! Amazing puzzles. Thank you to everybody who donated. I could only take 50 pictures that Google allows me to take. I thought the prices were great. I got a Ravensburger puzzle 500 piece, for $2.99. That's amazing. I also got a Yankee Candle for $4.99, and a white barn hand soap, for only $2.99. Amazing! I'll definitely be back I used Talk to Text Speech to make this review.”
“Some of the items are a bit expensive but they do have a big selection of items and the store is clean and organized. I found this little guy there today paid $15 which i found to be on the higher price but still took it lol.”
“Went in to both sale and shop. While they didn’t buy much, they are super friendly and the store was clean and organized.
It was super busy both with sales and people shopping, but line moved quickly!”
“The absolute lowest prices of any Twin Cities thrift store, and everything is well-organized and easy to browse. Excellent selection of women's clothing including high-end brands, plus jewelry, toys, games, puzzles, books, movies, housewares, home decor, and even greeting cards. The store is clean, pleasant, and regularly restocked with high-quality items.
Your purchases support a women's center that stands out by supporting moms and families until children reach preschool age—not just through pregnancy. Great finds at unbeatable prices while supporting a wonderful cause.”
