If are white, the manager will jump on your case if your mask isnt on straight and covering your entire nose.If youre black you can not even be wearing a mask and the same manager looks the other way.

This is a great goodwill. Good sized.... this particular one had a good amount of glass ware (Apothecary Jars and vases), a large amount of toys, and many selections were brand new. Staff is friendly and eager to assist.

Love this place 🤓I have been shopping here since they opened. Great place to find great deals everything is price per pound, last time I checked it was 1.50 something a pound. You can find cheesy stuff designer stuff & vintage. Not only clothes, but household assorted items as well🐘 you never know what you might find there😬 😄 Be ready to dig and sort through bins only for the true Bargain Hunter😁

Its like getting access to all the donations before they get distributed. Its not really organized. You have to shift through the bins to find your treasure or what you maybe looking for. But there are alot of good finds if you have the patience to go through the bins.

This place has great stuff. They only allow a certain number of people in at a time. When you walk in they give you a number, after an hour you have to make your purchase and leave. But you can line up again as many times as you want. This makes it a nice uncrowded place to shop. I found a cool game from the 1950s, a designer dress and hawaiian shirt. Very unique selection of items

Intresting place, you really have to dig around to find some treasure. The staff is nice and does their best to coordinate the bins and bring new things out. Fellow thrifters can get a bit wild when a new bin is rolled out and they all jump on it. Center bins are full of random clothes, all shapes, sizes, color, condition. Book bins are to the side as well as shoes. Furniture in the back and household randomness to the left of the store. It takes a bit of time and sorting but I can usually find somethings I am happy with. Prices are set by lb for clothes and books, shoes, glass,etc are at a set price. Quite affordable.

Rules depend on color of skinIf youre White, your mask must be on straight, covering your nose, half of your eyes and mouth. God forbid it slips and is on crookedOf youre Black, they kinda look the other way and if you question that they ask you to leave.

Get ready to dig, theres a looooot of stuff as the storeis huge, i would recommend gloves and you willprobably wsnt to take a shower after anyway lol but everytime i go i come out with awesome findings! Clothes, shoes, movies, books they even have dressers and couches. The price is about 1.50 or 1.60 a pound. Last time i went i came out with a pair of jeans, a shirt, shorts and a sun dress for 3 dollars. I enjoy going through the stuff anyway so i dont mind digging but my mom doesnt like staying there for too long so she just goes to the regular goodwill lol

Review №12

I could only give 3 stars this go round, as customer service was less than stellar. One very slow moving line open to pay. The person at the register was clearly overwhelmed as he was also maintaining the number of people in the store in addition to his normal duties at the register. Which cause a lot of us to wait outside needlessly because they werent keeping a good count. Normally I find lot of stuff but this time I think I came too late in the afternoon. Overall I still think its a great place to go shopping as long as you are flexible and dont mind digging a lot! Tons of parking.

Here people donate to the needy. But I myself saw how the workers, in this goodwill, reconsider everything if there is no gold. Management should pay attention to this. Workers pay attention to the attitude towards people! We are all equal!

Review №19

Why is it that a flea market vendor is getting away of not paying the right amount of several cart full of merchandise? ($10 per cart) This has been a known practice by same vendor for so many years and still allowed to shop at the outlet. Vendor is selling items way below lower prevailing price, lower than the outlet.

Review №21

Has the potential to be good but i wuld not recommend going during covid if u r a reseller. they only allow 1 person per bin & the bins r huge and full with stuff and take about 10-15 mins to get thru. they give u numbers & make u leave after one hour & us resellers/thrifters kno one hour is not enough especially if u have to sort thru hundreds of piled up un organized clothes. i didnt find much there within my hour of being there, only a few backpacks. i went thru mayb 6 bins then i had to leave cuz my time was up. the prices r extremely cheap tho. also wear gloves bc the bins r very dirty & i was scratched by something in the clothes which caused my finger to bleed. id definitely like to come back when covid is over so i can actually go thru all the bins & not have to leave after 1 hour

I love this place! Find the most awesome deals and treasures weighed by the pound. Its 1.49 a pound. Items are in bins according to hard goods, soft goods, books, and shoes... they have a large furniture, bike, miscellaneous section toward the back of the place! I always find sturdy furniture for cheap cheap... oh they also have chairs of all kinds and variety lining the whole wall as you walk in!

Heads up: This is the clearance location, which our family affectionately refers to as crazy bins. Pay by weight for most items in the ultimate treasure hunt. There is not a normal retail Goodwill at this location.

Al
Review №30

I have found Macys bedspread, Lucky Jeans, Vera Wang tops & jeans. Can look well off for $1.49 lb. Of course you can also see men digging for used womens panties and sniffing them before moving on to the next one. Have to take the bad with the good. When you get home, wash and dry everything! Incl yourself.

Used to be good but now a lot of junk and the women employees there are kind of rude

Review №32

Its a fine place to shop -1 star because they dont rotate the bins fast enough I have to wait 2 hours before anything new pops outta the back -1 because people shove you to get stuff and -1 because they dont weed out garbage. Ive found dirty diapers in the bins before along with knives sticking face up unwrapped. I feel the staff is professional, but I also feel that management is holding back the bins from being rotated faster. I can go through every bin in 40 minutes, I wanted to shop continuously for 5 hours and they only rotated twice. They need improvement.

Just kinda weird in this pandemic time. We had to give somebody the bizness for getting too close. He tried to insinuate that he was there first. We both knew he was B.S.ing. I told him directly..you need to move Guess this is what its going to be like for now.

Hey people if youre like I am only make enough to pay rent and food, and have very little money, and want good stuff and its dirt cheap, then you have to get to this place, good will has a boat load of brand new clothes right nowMostly for kids and women, but if youre lucky you will find good clothes for men

Review №35

While everything is cheap, I dont dig through the bins because everything is dirty and there is sharp objects like glass. Before moving to Sacramento, I have never heard of a Goodwill quite like this! I will likely take my money elsewhere to a cleaner, organized Goodwill, but Im glad there is a really inexpensive alternative for things.

Sh
Review №36

These places are great for kids toys, especially outdoor toys so you can hose them down before use. Gloves are a great idea but thick gloves are probably safest as Ive seen very sharp objects in the rummage bins. People wait around for new bins to come out so be prepared for a little competition. Happy digging!

Review №39

I have only been here a few times but can honestly say that unless you have boxing gloves avoid coming to buy clothing or anything that is in the bins. Wow... I dont even know where to begin... There are so many people waiting for the big blue bins to come out that there ia literally a line before the bin gets to its destination. Yea.. You can find some really great merchandise sometimes but wow.

Omg! This place is crazy!The other reviewers were totally right about wearing gloves, I would also suggest not bringing your kids there are some creepy looking dudes shopping there.Even though this place is crazy I find the hunt some what rewarding. I found two jackets still with tags on and a pair of Joe jeans so I was pretty happy.How they sell stuff is by weight so ignore the price tags on things they weigh everything.And watch out for the staff most of them are super rude!

Review №56

Someone mentioned dumpster diving, and that is the best description. Bring GLOVES!!! The experience felt as a competition between the people, there were even groups of 2 or 3 people that rummaged different bins. Things were thrown around inside the bin, very chaotic. Best advice would be to leave your polite manners at home if you want to get something because you will be pushed over.The staff had attitude at the register because I interrupted their chat when I came up to check out. Recommend trying once to everyone, you can call it an adventure, bring friends too, the more the merrier. Again, dont forget gloves, there are some sticky and pokey things.This is a great place for buying old chairs, they are about $5 and can be easily re-upholstered! Also, this type of GW sells things by weight, I spent about $8 for 3 curtains, a great blazer, a decent wind jacket to do yard work, and 2 framed maps.A ton of books but since they are in bins, it is hard to go through them all. A lady hit me with one she wasnt interested in, so watch out.

Review №57

The only drawback is no dressing rooms. Also, be careful while digging through the bins. They arent mindful about putting sharp objects in with everything else, and frequently theres broken glass, pottery, and the like. You also have to watch out for flying coffee pots, Lol. Seriously, some customers are ruthless in their pursuit for the best deal and dont care who might be standing in their way.

An
Review №58

Disappointing to say the least. The whole place smells like feet and B.O. and everything is is thrashed and broken. People were shoving and pushing, and the whole store was just dirty and gross. Bring your own gloves because trust me, you will need them. Customers were putting things in their mouth then back into the bins. And this store closes earlier than all the rest. Employees were slightly rude and very stand off-ish. I doubt I will go back and would definitely not recommend going to this store

Very crowded. Definitely different than the typical Goodwill. If you are willing to rummage through carts & occasionally hasual over an item with another plus have plenty of free time, this is a place for you. It was a bit overwhelming for me.

Review №60

Best thrift store for digging... An entire cart of clothes is about $40!!! Comforters and thick new Calvin Clein Cal king blanket were $6 each. Lots of digging through bins but our family really enjoys it. Just watch out for the re-sellers... They swarm a new bin like crazy!! Im just buying for the family so we dont care about brands but the re-sellers do. I cant remember the last time we bought new clothes, its been goodwill outlet for 5+ years now :-) be prepared to dig and get dirty and sweaty... Gloves are good... I like the ones w the rubber fingers... Nobody is going to help u find anything, they just couldnt if they wanted to, but thats the adventure of going in my opinion... Easily can spend 4 hours digging... Shoes are only $2 a pair and that also includes boots... Just scored uggs before winter :-)

Worst place to donate. I have donated here on three different occasions and had the same bad experience with the staff.The staff are super lazy and just sit on thier phone. They do not acknowledge you presence, they do not give instructions, they do not help you with your unloading your donation and when you ask for donation receipt theylook at you crazy.I highly suggest donating at another location.

Review №69

Ive shopped here since it opened. (and Franklin before that). Bins upon bins of stuff you buy by the pound, usually a huge cornucopia of cast offs. The GOOD..... central location near N. Highlands, good hours, ample parking, many bins of junk to decent junk you can get dirt cheap.. The BAD...... Clothing contributions have dropped off significantly the last couple years and I swear the bins that have been on the floor are wheeled in the back and then wheeled back in later (lack of fresh merchandise). Yes, I have actually spent that much time there. Questionable staff actions, I seriously saw one employee (about 2 years ago) hand off a high end bag to some gansta-thug looking dude who rolled into the Goodwill, paid for it and hoped back into his BMW thug mobile complete with questionable ladies hanging out the windows - hope the guy got fired, I havent seen him lately. The UGLY - this place dredges up all sorts, and I mean all sorts of folks, not the cleanest place, so watch your kids or leave them home. Some humans are half dressed, speak no English whatsoever, observe no common manners or practice good personal cleanliness; they swear and shove around your kids while toting their half naked, possibly sick, constantly crying offspring. There are a couple regulars that work the flea markets (I know who you are) Ive had to threaten to have them arrested if the touch me again or stare down other ladies tops. I havent seen the pocket thieves lately (they spoke Russian, would take stuff out of your cart and put merchandise in their pockets), Goodwill seems to have run them off. Cover your cart, secure your purse, watch your kids, wear gloves and use hand sanitizer, lots of sanitizer.

Bring gloves or hand sanitizer with you.After all the Goodwills in the greater Sacramento area get overflown with merchandise, that merchandise gets sent here to this Warehouse like location. Here all items are $0.49 per pound unless marked otherwise i.e.furniture. there was a great variety of clothing, furniture, books, and other household goods. Be warned you will have to dig through bins of goods to find that one treasure you seek, but its worth it (if you have the time) you cant beat the price and some of the items are of outstanding quality.

Review №98

THIS ACTUALLY IS MEANT FOR THE FRANKLIN $1. 49 LB store .Goodwill has great finds. I usually find something that I consider My Find for the Day. . Actually see a few familiar people and have had very interesting conversations regarding OUR individual Finds of the Day I was in there last year, 2 guys ( you will know who you are if you are reading this) helped pick through hundreds of books to find about 20 braille books for my daughter. They were 50 cents. Average braille book ranges from $70 - $100+ each. You can get Braille books for free from Society for the Blind. BUT. Coming across these books allowed me to be grateful for carrying on that in passing conversation. Thanks again guys. I got the best mommy hug when I got home. She read tbrough those books in lickety split time. A TIDBIT of INFORMATION .....BRAILLE BOOKS are considered a foreign language. The State Library in Sacramento carries limited books. These books that were found were perfect for her age group.This by far has been MY Greatest Find of the Day. You never know wha teasure you will find.
