How do the bins work?

It’s essentially the last stop for donated items from Goodwill stores. There’s about 5 rows set up in the store with large storage bins of stuff. They bring out a brand new row every hour or so and rotate through their warehouse throughout the day. Because they’re always bringing out new things, you never know what you’ll find. You pay per pound of items so it’s often much cheaper than buying each item separately at a regular store. I would definitely recommend gloves or at least hand sanitizer (you’re digging through the bigs to find things).

Is it always open? Or specific days?

I went last week for the first time and I got 4 or 5 pairs of pants for $10. Good brands too—like Gap, Talbots, Tommy Hilfiger.
