Goodwill Bins in Chaska

"I’ve heard about the goodwill bins but I’m not into thrifting and I had no reason to go. That was until I realized I can get so many clothes for under $10. I was there for about an hour and got multiple sweatshirts, all of which were clean and not stained or worn. It requires some patience to find things, especially if there’s a crowd, but for the price I think it’s worth it. Some name brands as well. Clothes are something like $1.50 a pound and they weigh your clothes at the checkout. All items in the picture cost a total of $12. Bring gloves if you plan on really digging in some of the stuff since there are a few dirty items."

"I drove an hour and 15 minutes to get to the place in Chaska Goodwill outlet and at 5 o’clock they took all of the bins off of the floor, but one little row of clothes and one little row of shoes. I asked the manager why they were open till six were they taking everything off of the floor already She stated for inventory BS opening times from in the morning till six at night they should have the stuff displayed until then. I leave with a shopping cart full and this time I left with a quarter of it filled. I didn’t take pictures of the customers that were still in there due to their privacy, but there are 15 people still shopping when they took all the bins away."

"I am a big one to go to the bins every Monday. But today when I was at the bins, I had a very heavy item. They did not give me a price on the item. The item had to be weighed. Now I don’t understand this. They used to give you a break if it was very heavy item. But today when I had a very heavy item, I asked the cashier how much it would be. He told me we would have to weigh it. I said well before you gave us a flat rate of what it would be because you know it’s a heavy item. He agreed but said he had toweigh it. I put it back. I told him what if it was a bowling ball. He said we would have to weigh it. I said I could go to another thrift shop and buy it a lot cheaper than if I bought it here. I wish you would not do this. Do you want to get rid of it? We wanna buy it so then why don’t you sell it for a flat fee. Thank you"

"Easier and more organized than I thought it would be. Staff was friendly and deals were great. Was able to find a lot of nice items for a fraction of the usual retail thrift prices. There were of course some odd ducks - some guy nearly pushed me over because he wanted to be the first one to look through all the fresh bins in an entire row and another person kept trying to put her things in my car and take my items, but that's just weird people not the fault of the staff there. Would definitely go again. Beware that Apple Maps will try to take you a really roundabout way of getting there through like three parking lots rather than just down the road that it's on."
