Lots of bins to dig through. Many new items still in package. The only bad thing, which isn't that bad, is the people pushing your cart out of the way or they push you and your hands away from an item we all want.But, I continue to go back to find more treasures.

Managers kicked us out for no reason they were rude and ignorant they claimed we were taking clothes out before they put all of them out but it was a man next to me my friend was raking clothes out at first when he barley got there but he has never been to the bins before so he didnt know the rules we explained it to him afterwards and he didnt do it anymore but they said we put stuff in our bag but we didnt even grab anything so we got kicked out for no reason they lied. ?

Place is okay, I see people filling carts up with food stuff, after going to many of these outlets all over the state and other states I feel this is the weakest one, one thing I never understood is that the boats/bins are never filled up with clothing, just a thin layer and you can see the button on the bin other stores it’s filled so tall it takes a while to look through it which is great since more is found. So there’s another odd thing they place empty totes in the bins instead of just stack them up at the exit for people to have. It’s just being managed very oddly.

Carts are always available now (I haven't been in recently when there wasn't a bunch).Employees are friendly.There is definitely a culture and it can take some getting used to.Employees do their best to keep broken glass and anything sharp out of the bins (things that are supposed to be sharp go in the glass cabinet up front). If there is something sharp, pointing it out to one of them is usually all that is needed to have it removed.You never know what you are going to find, so going in with an open mind is important if you want to walk away with something.As of December 2023, the following applies-With the prices being: under 25lbs = $2.79 and over 25lbs = $1.59, if you go over 14.25lbs you should try to hit 25. The math looks like this:14.25lbs * $2.79 = $39.75 (24.75lb = ~$69)25lbs * $1.59= $39.75Obviously this isn't always so simple to find things you like to boost the weight in your favor, but something to keep in mind. I think they are trying to encourage people to get as much as they can.

Goodwill bins is where I think all the unsold merchandise from the goodwill stores goes for a variety of reasons. Either its just pure junk garbage or its super cool stuff that the goodwill had to high of a price tag on.I've purchased high speed ultra light weight camping gear grom here that should've been $450 while I paid less than $2/lbs for it.This place has good stuff but you'll have to dig through table bins of other stuff to find it.If treasure hunters go to good will and other second hand stores then ultra adventure treasure hunters go to goodwill bins.Enjoy your treasures

During my visit to Goodwill Bins in Salem, Oregon, off Portland Rd on November 15th around 5 pm, I encountered several issues. An employee informed me that trying on clothes or shoes was not allowed, though I hadn't seen any posted signs regarding this policy. Later, the same employee asked me to put my intended purchases in a duffel bag that I was also planning to buy.While waiting for my friend near the front door, the same employee approached me multiple times, even complaining about where I was standing. To make matters worse, when I momentarily left to retrieve my wallet, I returned to find that the employee had scattered my belongings throughout the store.This behavior was distressing and unacceptable. No Goodwill staff member should engage in such bullying conduct. It's crucial for the store to address these issues to ensure a positive shopping experience for everyone.The employee staff member ls name is Barbara FYI

They close early ever day because hey're too lazy to work the hours they claim to be open. Only giving 1 star because that's the lowest you can give.

its a cool place . I get here about once a month because its a treasure hunt. I don't always find something to buy, but when I do its very cheap. Over the years I have found a few very valuable things that I sold and made significant money on them.That keeps me coming back. Gloves are a very good idea and face masks might be helpful too. Enjoy the hunt here. Ding two stars too much pure junk in bins should be discarded quicker and too crowded at times hard to dig elbow to elbow.

As far as Goodwill Outlet stores go, this is one of the best. Friendly workers, large shopping area, clean bathrooms.

The bins on Portland Rd. went up .60 cents a pound. Absolutely insane increase.Under 25lbs is $2.79/lb now, when it was $2.19/lb a week ago. Over 25lbs went up to $1.69 from $1.29 so it's much more reasonable if you are a bulk-thrifter or reseller.I'm completely heartbroken.I always go by myself and I just don't ever get 25lbs worth of stuff to buy.This much of an increase in price, all at once.. makes a lot of things just not worth their weight anymore. I know inflation is a thing, I just feel like they could have been a bit more reasonable. Especially when these are the last chance stores, not even their main sources of income!

Takes some time looking for good buys here but always find something!

I'm updating my review to two stars because, while I love this store, the last several times there have been no carts available. This store is nearly impossible to shop in without a cart. I wish they'd fix this. The employees are friendly and there are great bargains to find, although it's not as big as the Portland area outlets.

The photos show you the help Goodwill gave to those in need in my community. I run a day center for houseless adults. They come for warmth and clean clothing, as well as food and other much needed services. These blankets and jeans will go a long way as we enter the colder months ahead. Sharing the love.

If you have never been shopping at the 'BINS' it is a must do. My daughter has been begging me to take her and it was a blast. We left with a few carts full of stuff for $100
