You can find lots of different things here that people donate at good prices. They weigh out most of your items and I have also found name brand items that look almost brand new. Good for people with big families that need help with clothes & shoes there are a variety of clothing sizes, kitchen supplies and

You go here to sift through gobs of garage sale kinds of stuff at low prices. It can be chaotic with a line of people waiting by the huge carts for to "okay" to jump in and grab something. The building is fairly new feeling and considering all quite clean. There are lots of junk, some trashy broken reminamts of better days and then... You find something decent that you can really use.

The place is okay I’m not going to say” great amazing ! Must come !” No because if your coming here be physically ready to be pushed . The great majority are Haitians and there the ones you need to be CAREFUL with and stand your ground oh and there there everyday . They will push ,yell and snatch things out of your hand very disrespectful . As you read this review the problem stays the same - it’s them - but there has been no solving this issue . I’ve brought that to the attention of people but the GUY workers don’t do anything the Women actually do something about it however. As of recently the bins have nothing to offer so it’s a gamble. OH and bring gloves 🧤 because there are some nasty stuff in the bins too .

Employees are very nice and they have it in order with instructions and policies. If you don't follow the rules you will be asked to leave. They stress to have respect towards each other while shopping. I have been to other stores and this one I like and you don't have to worry about people going over you and breaking items.

Questions & Answers

Has anyone else been pushed shoved and assaulted at the bargain barn? I had a horrible incident last weekend on 5/12.

It can get rough. Now that they bring out only six new carts, everyone is sqeezed together and there's pushing and shoving. I told the Goodwill safety manager that it is a liability issue, and that they should go back to bringing out 12 carts like they used to do. If anyone gets hurt, they should sue Goodwill, because they have been informed that 6 carts is a safety/liability issue.

Ive been debating going to this location but apparently this place has a really bad reputation for people getting pushed, shoved and elbowed and nothing being done about it. On top of always being packed with people. Is it worth even going?

I go there often with my stepson and we have never experienced any rude or physical behavior. Everyone we've met there has been polite and friendly. We enjoy our trips to the Bargain Barn everytime 🙂

What times or how often do they put out new bins of stuff?

Matt Spicer | Oct 30, 2021
Sara Croughan | Oct 30, 2021

It's usually every 30 minutes to an hour they'll bring out three bins and they have everybody stand behind the line and then it's kind of like a 3,2,1 and then go.

Is this a "Purchase by the pound" location? meaning, do they weigh your cart/items to find your total price?
