Goodwill - St. Paul Outlet

"I’ve been shopping at this location for the past 5 years, and the consumer experience has significantly diminished over time. The price per pound has nearly DOUBLED since I started shopping here! It has also gotten much busier over time, these days you have to line up early when they roll out new bins or you won’t be able to get in at all. People are not afraid to shove you out of the way. And good luck getting a cart! You can still find good stuff, and I still shop here on a regular basis. It’s just not a great experience."

"Pro: I usually find good stuff. Cons: The prices have skyrocketed recently. They will overcharge you most of the time. Most of the employees are awful, hateful, horrible, soulless people. Be prepared to be accused of shoplifting regularly. Good luck getting a cart, you'll need it. You will be rushed through the line and not allowed to change your mind on anything once you see how much they plan to overcharge you. You will be bullied by the staff and management. They close whenever they feel like it. Customers are treated like garbage. You might have your own stuff stolen."

"Love the bins. There's a lot of great stuff you can get for cheaper than normal. That being said, I wish there was some policy that could be put in place to limit some of the scalpers. People will come in and fill up four to five carts and just leave them sitting there "claimed." These carts take up a lot of space. There's also a lot of aggressive behavior with some of these regulars shoving and grabbing things out of peoples' hands. It just sucks that it's so hard to find things/enjoy being there when people are coming just to grab and resell, even heard a lady say "I just got 150 from a shirt I sold from here." Sad."

"I come here all the time to source things for my Depop shop. Never leave empty handed and always find at least a few great pieces! Super easy to turn a profit with the low prices. Bring gloves, know your audience, and look for any trending brands."

"Honestly my first time going there wasn’t that bad.DONT LET THE BAD COMMENTS DISCOURAGE YOU!!i will say it might just depend on what time you go there I went around 4 and it wasn’t 2 crowded so I found lots of good clothes that fit my style (senior in highschool) but I will say MAKE SURE YOU BRING MASKS AND GLOVES AND YOUR OWN BAGS WHEN ITS TIME TO CHECKOUT!!(sorta like Aldi but you can’t buy bags you have to bring your own)When me and my friend went to checkout there wasn’t a line at all and everything costed 20.17$ altogether (2 jackets,3 pairs of jeans,2 tank tops, 1 shirt and one New York hat). ( her stuff was like 6.23$ I forgot what she got) luckily I had brought some Walmart bags so I didn’t have to carry the stuff I bought in my bare hands.Now as far as staff I didn’t have a problem at all and when me and my friend were about to leave there was this old lady that couldn’t find her keys so the employees went out of their way to go to her car in another parking lot to find them I wish I had got their names.Now I will say the place is dirty and they had flies everywhere but what do you expect at a place that sells used goods.Overall experience 10/10"
