If you're looking for "truck/car" tools you don't mind if they go missing, this is a pretty cheap source. A lot of Chinesium cheap stuff, but there are some quality name brand items mixed in. Don't miss going back into the warehouse area, lots of office/desk type furniture and items. One time they had surplus Civil Defense radiac meters (for Cold War collectors) pretty cheap. Lots of surplus SUV's out front, but most looked pretty used/inop. Might be good if looking for project parts.

Many of the items are made in Japan but they are starting to see the influx of Chinese manufactured goods, to their detriment. Still, it's worth a visit for the unique snacks and housewares available. The clerks at the checkout counter are super nice. Recommended.

I'm not sure if they've got new employees, so my review isn't about all employees because I've been…read morehere a few times and never had any issues until today. For more than half of my time in the store I continuously had multiple workers staring me down, and then two just following me around multiple times which gives me the feeling that I'm being looked at like I'm going to steal. This normally wouldn't bother me because I'm not a thief but it bothers me because I've given zero reason for anyone to be looking at me or following me like this. It creates a nasty narrative, and a hostile environment. Until you've been given a reason to need to follow someone, don't... I'm an indecisive person, but I'm also a gay male in a thrift store playing gospel music, so it's bad enough I already feel like I'm not wanted here but to follow me around and look at me while talking to co workers multiple times doesn't put a good feeling on a customer. And there's a chance that maybe this wasn't the case but I'd be an easy target. There's not a huge selection of men's clothes or shoes and if there is it's mixed up with the women's so I look in ever aisle and I feel like I got stares because I was in the women's aisles but there was a plethora of women's things in the men's aisle so maybe they just need to reorganize? The prices on some things seems incredibly capitalist, I see a whole couch for $19.99 which is a great price, but then I'm looking at a pair of shoes for $24.... Where's the relief in that LOL I have to admit they have some pretty good items, but the prices seem greedy. I don't know how much of the proceeds go to disaster relief but if it's not 100% then it seems pretty disturbing, prices are getting to be like Goodwills and there's no good will in that ‍ All in all, this truly is a great store but this was not a good experience for me so I may seek another store.

This is what this place has always been about... not buy junk at retail, then have to put in extra labor and money to install/renew the item. as i was walking around i could literally hear other people gawking and talking about how bad the prices are. one couple played a guessing game with each other and were also astonished when they would reveal the price. this is how bad it has gotten. i will maybe give this place one more chance in a month but honestly, id suggest everybody try elsewhere if youre looking for someplace affordable. im so incredibly dissapointed as i used to really vouch for and love this place.

Never been in a Habitat for humanity stores. Curious what they had. Maybe I'll find something maybe…read morenot. As I walked around. Everything is pretty organized. They have a little of everything, but mostly what I could see it was items for home improvements. Cabinets, counters, sinks, toilets, tubs, bed frames, paint cans, kitchen tables, entertainment stands. Loathed with doors, window, flooring, wood and tile. There's a lot in this store. Didn't se that big from the outside. But it's big inside and they pack a lot in. I wasn't coming here with any expectations. I just wanted to poke around and see what they weee about.

I'm always on the hunt for commercial friendly clothing to add to my acting wardrobe closet without spending a ton of $$$ and I always have great luck here. The main section of the store, everything is $3!!!! Yes, you read that correctly: $3. Clothes, shoes, accessories/jewelry. $3. Everything is very organized & there are dressing rooms with amazing lighting. The workers are super friendly! They also have a big premium section with things ranging $15+, but items that are worth it! I found so many amazing unique pieces, including very flattering extra long vintage 90s jeans on the baggier side (I'm a tall girl) for $15 - I was SHOOK. I went there again yesterday and found amazing pieces! There is also a free section outside in the back (for those in need). Thank you for making a difference!!! This is what thrifting is about and way too many thrift stores in Austin have completely lost the plot. 1000/10, recommend Heartening!

You can start with the beautiful shoes, and then move over to look at the various unique displays throughout the store. I found purses, jackets, and other items. Very difficult to leave the store without buying something, and I found something small enough to fit in my suitcase:) It appears as though they rotate the offerings pretty frequently. If you're looking for something to refresh your wardrobe, I recommend stopping in here!

Every time there is a new bin rotation, people are running and grabbing armfuls of clothes, which…read moreI'm pretty sure is against the rules but for some reason this goodwill outlet lets it slide. Some people are also aggressive, I've had people just snatch a clothing item I'm holding out from my hands and walk away. I don't know why this goodwill doesn't do anything about the aggression at these bins. Not to mention, there are some families that camp out at the bins all day and leave their children widely unattended without any sort of protection, there are usually little kids playing around with items and digging through stuff without gloves. Besides that, I've been here three or four times and found a couple really good finds. Some days I find nothing of value and other days I find some pretty good stuff. If you come to the goodwill outlet, just make sure to wear gloves, because I've literally came across diapers and dirty undergarments. Also be sure to wear a face mask because there is a lot of dust and I'm always sneezing around the bins.

The place was packed. Should have known not to come on a Sunday. I literally had 2 items that I…read morewanted to get, but to stand in a line of 20+ people, wasn't worth it to me. I'll come another day. I did come here in a mission though, and that was for a new luggage bag. I didn't want hard case, and I didn't want expandable. I just recently flown to California and to Maine, and on both trips, I saw people having to rearrange their bags to zip up the expandable part of their luggage, and that the hard cases don't fit in their luggage sizing at the gate. So I want something thin that has some wiggle room to flatten out. I saw only 2 that I liked and fit the sizing I liked, but they were still $80. I think I'll keep looking. I still have time before my next vacation. Since I was there I wanted to walk around and look at their holiday decor. They do have some cute things for wall, and for Halloween. But for me. I'm done decorating for the seasons and holidays. But still like to look at them.

Worst customer service experience in years. I entered the store with a defective suitcase. There…read morewas a huge line. So before wasting my time, I asked an associate if I could return a carry on suitcase that had not worked (defective rollers) on the one trip this month it had been used on. She said yes. I waited in line 25 min only to have an unfriendly manager tell me I couldn't return it or even exchange it because it had been used and was scuffed from its one airline trip. I travel once a month. My last carry-on with roller lasted 13 years! No scuffs, btw. This one was junk, even if a Samsonite. This experience is exactly why I shop Amazon. Easy return system. I'll never shop at a TJ Maxx again. Certainly not the one in Great Hills! Terrible service. The manager wasn't even polite, just rude about it. Didn't even have a minute to talk about it in a civil manner.
