Staff here are great. Regulars can be a bit aggresive inside of the bins store. Retail side is mellow in the mornings but gets busy by afternoon and stays that way through most of the day, so plan around that. Lots of great treasures here read more

This place never has carts because the people there hoard them all day covering their huge pile with a blanket. After hours of being there, they go through their things, throwing back what they don't want, when those items could've been sold to others! Whenever a new bin comes out they crowd around it going through it, throwing things all over the place! It's kinda comical! It's been awhile since I've been there, the price per pound has gone up! Go there with an open mind and gloves. If you have the time, you can still find some treasures! read more

If you are into treasure hunting and are willing to put up with the other man's trash, this is a place for you. Come prepared with gloves and sanitizer. Won't hurt to wear a mask either. Grab a cart or bring your own IKEA bag to drag around as you pile your new treasures into it. It can get crowded especially around fresh bins. People like to go for the purses and wallets first. If you are not searching for cash, maybe seek out calmer bins. I try to be systematic about searching through. Little gems tend to fall through to the bottom of the bins. Watch out for broken glass. Buying by the pound can lead to great value. Service is alright. Cashiers accept cards and Apple Pay. read more

Store is not open until 8pm they close at 7pm and threaten to close the registers before 7pm. Staff was nice enough store was a clean as expected. I will have to come earlier in the day to know if products are good. 2.99 per pound is the current price read more

Oh wow didn't I review this? This store is the best of thriftint if you go hardcore. It's by the pound and you dig. Yup. I got a Sacramento Kings jacket here though along with a bunch of dog books to read to dogs. And a suitcase. Put back the weighted blanket because it would've been normal price based on weight. Fun times. Make sure to go with a friend who likes this stuff. read more

Put the dressing rooms back! Place. is always dirty. Prices are ridiculous!

Amazed the store has such long hours! I had items to donate and the young woman provided terrific customer service.

Lots of good stuff. But lots of pushy people. When I went there were at least 4 different groups of men (3-4 in each group) who would hog up space at the new carts. Two of them got on either side of me and when the last cart was placed, they stretched their arms out in front of me and kept me from getting anything, even what was right in front of me. They would also pull off all the bags that were unopened and put them in their carts (at other outlets I've seen people open the bags in the bins so everyone could see, The staff doesn't say anything to them; seems like it is just accepted practice there. For value, I would give this place 5 stars, but because of the desperate cut throat groups, I have to lower it to 1/2 a star. NOT worth it. read more

I visited this bins location twice while in Sacramento. Both were weekend morning and I arrived a little after opening. Staff is friendly and they rotate the bins fairly regularly. Other patrons were nice too. I have been to some bins locations where folks were kind of aggressive with each other. I found some unique stuff, but be prepared to dig and have patience. Bring your own bags. It would be nice if they had more shopping carts. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning and got a discount for my purchase for being a teacher, which was nice. It was clean and the staff was friendly and the prices were cheap. Not a ton of stuff out but that's OK. read more

Things have gotten very high for used items. It used to be an exciting thing before they put stuff of any value online They also get cheap Chinese stuff and try to sell it like a dollar tree but it's not $1. Just a place I no longer desire to visit since they started examining everything and if it was a great item it went to auction! read more

We heard of this place and decided to come. Wow it's super intense here. It wasn't really clean and i felt a little uncomfortable. There's bins everywhere nothing is sorted what so ever. It's either a hit or miss. Most of this clothes seemed like the clothes no one wanted. Everything seemed old. There's people who wait on the side and literally attack the carts . I think they resell things. We were there for like 2 hours found a few shirts and a huge basket for $12. The price is definitely worth it since they sell by the pound. This place is definitely not for me but for people who like this kind of chaos then yes. read more

This place is not safe. Several people that will yell at you and steal from you. These people are supposed to wait for all of the items to be lined up but instead if they see something valuable, they will break the rule and steal it from directly in front of you. If you report to management, the management doesn't enforce the rule and kick out dangerous individuals, instead, they allow all parties to stay and argue and take the valuable item to the back so the goodwill can sell the item for the online corporate site. I met a woman who was a regular here and said she went to jail for fighting o we things here and the fight basically progressed on the type of things I've explained happen here without any thought from management to get a hold on it. This place is unsafe and disturbing. read more

They don't fill their bins fully when they bring out new bins. Only the bottom layer of the bin is filled up so even if you've been waiting for new rotations, there isn't much to sort through. There's probably around 10 pieces of garments or so in each new bin they bring out. This location is a lot smaller compared to the other Goodwill Outlet in Sacramento so it's also harder to find clothes. It was also really packed when I came so it was hard to find any good pieces. read more

This place was cool. Good will bins. Did not find much when I was there. A lot of people, so that's prob why. Someone said they were there for over 6 hours but didn't find anything read more

I went here for the first time and was amazed they are very organized ... price is very in expensive and the staff is awesome

I think some of the negative reviews are a bit of an exaggeration or perhaps I just went at a non peak time. After reading the reviews, I thought I was about to walk into an enclosure of wild animals at the zoo. It was not like that. People did crowd around the new bins but they were not fighting over items or pushing each other out of the way. If you just go there to look for clothes, there is minimal to no crowding going on. I found a Liz Claiborne coat, vintage denim, a vintage Woolrich cardigan, some LL Bean khakis with tags, and some American Eagle sweatpants. There are definitely mid range to nicer items in those bins, you just have to be willing to dig through everything. As others have said, wear gloves. I did come across trash and heavily stained items plus some of the bins may have broken, sharp objects in them. read more

My first time going to the bins and it was wayyyy different then I expected. Walked in and immediately smelt a stench, but what do you expect. No ventilation at all. People were literal animals every-time a new bin came out, you will have some good finds occasionally but don't fight anyone over it, its not worth. $1.94/lb read more

So my first time going to this outlet. God talk about unorganized snd just junk. Now the clothing is with the clothing. But the hard goods? Lord Jesus. Now there's a huge gw outlet in LA nice and organized. Toys with toys, home goods with home goods, items eith items... basically organized. This was just all over the place. How can ppl go through things when it don't make sense? Like put the kitchen/bath together, toys with toys, misc with misc etc. Like I seen like decor with toys, with pet goods. Like wth. Well it was an experience I'll prob never go here again. read more

I shop here way too much. Can't beat the low $$$. I often resale and earn money! I have a hard time shopping at full price now.

This is the worst Goodwill Outlet in the area. The people are rude, the place is small, and because they rotate so slowly there just isn't much to look at. read more

Amazing finds and great deals, with friendly workers who were doing their best to clean up and assist everyone. The AC was broken the day we visited, so I hope they've since fixed it. It's awful for the staff to have to work in such heat, especially when they're doing physical labor. read more

This was my first time ever visiting a Goodwill Outlet so I wasn't sure what to expect. In case anyone was wondering, they do accept both cash and credit card. The clothing is priced around $1.59 a pound and I walked out with 4 bags for $23, which would probably cost $100 at a regular Goodwill location. Their carts are limited, so be sure to bring something to carry stuff in. It feels sort of like an assembly line as people line up as new carts come out like a 5am Black Friday campout and start tearing in like dumpster divers. I perused the carts that had been mostly looked over to avoid the crowds and still found some cute brand name pieces. This was at 3pm in the afternoon. The donation center is right next to it and a lot of the items seemed to be winter/fall like jackets and sweatshirts, so I would suggest coming at the end of each season to see what people have gotten rid of. read more

Good deals! Can't beat the price. All-in-all the store has been a blessing for our family. Thank you. read more

Came here today to drop off a BRAND NEW NEVER been open baby bath, bookshelf, baby bed frame (no mattress) again STILL in the unopened box. Goodwill said they can't take it. So they don't want nothing used & don't want nothing brand f**king new the what the hell do they take? Then the old guy had the balls to tell me I can make a cash donation. I would not give this Company water if they was on fire. read more

Goodwill Industries Sacramento Valley & Northern Nevada - NEVER again will I ever attempt to donate to the Goodwill - Thrift Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Avid thrifter here. I honestly LOVE this new location. Discovered it as I wanted to donate some stuff along the W. Capitol location, but poster announcements were taped all over their windows - so I headed to the new Industrial Blvd address. This new location is ONLY 4 MINUTES AWAY from the W. Capitol. I came here on a Wednesday (2 days after their grand opening), and my goodness this is heaven. I've been to plenty of Goodwills and for Sacramento, this is up there with the Arden location -- maybe even better. The donation center is to the left of the building, and a Goodwill Outlet is located to the right. Didn't checkout the Outlet, but if you're not familiar with Goodwill Outlet's system, its basically by the the pound. (Yes. I repeat, by the pound - for clothing) Will update review later on...

I walked in here and everything was in very large rectangular buckets. No rhyme or reason to each bucket just a toss up of clothes. Maybe others would have the patience to look through this mess but definitely not me. Yuck! read more

You have to be willing to dig deep into the bins. It's worth the search. It can be addicting.

The new W. Sacramento location has 3-in-1: a donation center, a retail store, and a by-the-pound outlet where you dig through unsorted bins (careful..some sharp goods are in there). There is a lot of space and they have organized it very well. The retail arm is just plain nice (for a thrift place, that is). Definitely better than lots of the other retail centers located in seedier neighborhoods. It's a little out of the way to get here, but I think the cleaner, newer facilities are worth it. Lots of bargain-shopping, for sure. Heh...you can drop a load off, then look around for more stuff. read more

My son found something we need. Donated several bags too. All in all another good trip. New collectibles of Star Wars action figures

Too many people fighting over stuff. Especially books..they hold on to them til it's too late to get them. That's bad because other people don't get anything as a result and goodwill ends up throwing good books away at the end of the day. I still come regardless. There's always something I need there. Enough for everyone as long as they don't hoard it. Thanks for listening. Much gratitude. read more

Love love love goodwill. Such a good shop to thrift at. Workers normally are a little moody but it's a great shop.

It's dirty and unorganized. People are throwing things around no organization at all.

I went to the store on 6/20, the cashier line was close to 40-50 yds long. Customers were just dumping their items and leaving. A second cashier wasn't taking customers, talking with a co worker. Finally, after several customers complained, the second cashier stopped talking and took customers. read more

Mi familia y yo visitamos aquí con frecuencia durante los años incluso antes de la pandemia. Han cambiado muchas cosas, sobre todo los precios porque los subieron recientemente. Me gustaría felicitar a los cajeros que son muy amables y simpáticos con todas las personas y el resto de trabajadores también son amables. Veo que esta ubicación de Goodwill ahora tiene seguridad, pero las demás no. Me encanta comprar aquí porque nunca sé qué cosas bonitas encontraré. read more

Great place to find deals on clothes that were overpriced at the regular Goodwill. The staff here a super friendly.

This place is stinky, a lot people are dirty, I think they come in for cheap clothes to change out of, others are resellers (hogging things) and there are very few regular people just looking for a find for themselves. I couldn't stand the stench, I left before I cut myself on the various broken items, btw people had thick gloves on which is smart and made me more nervous (for needles glass etc) I walked in and walked out. read more

I would say that you definitely get what you put in when you come here. If you aren't willing to dig through piles and piles of items then you won't find good items. I spent about about hourish there and I found some pretty good finds that consisted of some pretty cool basics for $11. I only looked through the first couple of bins, because there were a lot of people inside and looking at each bin. Beware of individuals who are shopping in bulk and resell them at vintage markets. One yelled at me because I was looking in the same bin as her and I got to a corner she hadn't touched yet. The workers there are very friendly. The cashier that helped me was so nice, she even told me when the best time to shop when it isn't busy read more

Not well organized or well kept. Clothes are in giant bins with literally anything. Most items are very dirty. Went on a Sunday and it was super crowded. Literally didn't find anything worth buying and I was there over an hour. The clothes there are very old and dirty and smell. The furniture is cheap and old and broken. The shoes are basically worn out. Not worth it. read more

Do you even thrift, bro? You have my respect if you've sorted through bins, been elbowed by half a dozen middle aged and elderly women, and paid by the pound for your treasures. This ain't no Crossroads. This is some third world type issh. A cluster of gloves and mask wearing folks wait anxiously for each fresh bin. You aren't one of them. It's palpable, not that I give shit. The new bin is slowly wheeled toward the cluster and then the walkers go in like they smell a wounded human. Clothes and elbows fly. People stare each other down staking claim on that half decent looking denim piece. What did I end up with? Some pretty nice looking placemats, a metal serving tray, and some Christmas lights. The metal thing hurt me when it came to the per pound pricing, but I still rolled out dropping less than $4. It's mostly clothes. Women's clothes. Not exactly quality. You will need to dig to find stuff. There lots of very cheap books, movies, and video games. I found stuff in the trinket/used Christmas stuff bin. There is also some uber cheap furniture that needs love as well as a good sanding and staining. Show up at 10am and you can get first dibs at those bins as they roll out. Good luck. You are going to need it. Thrift heavy, eat, sleep, and repeat. read more
