If you’re into thrift shopping in Dallas, the Goodwill Outlet Store is definitely worth a visit. This spot is part of the well-known Goodwill chain, which has built a solid reputation for offering affordable secondhand goods while supporting community programs. Unlike the regular Goodwill retail locations, this outlet is a bit different—you’re diving into bulk items, often sorted by the pound, which gives a whole new spin on finding vintage clothes, used furniture, or household goods.
At the Goodwill Outlet Store in Dallas, the variety is pretty impressive. You might start your trip hunting for some cool vintage tees or workwear that’s still got plenty of life left, then loop around to check out housewares—think gently used kitchen tools or lamps. Books also turn up here regularly, making it a nice spot for anyone who enjoys a good read without paying full price. Furniture pieces show up too, usually the kind you can give a quick DIY refresh. It’s a hands-on kind of place, where you can score all sorts of things that don’t typically pop up at your everyday thrift store.
What sets this Dallas thrift store apart is the outlet-style shopping experience. Instead of neatly organized racks, you’re sorting through bins or piles. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt, but that’s what makes it fun. You never really know what you’ll find, and the thrill of the hunt is a big part of the appeal. Plus, since it’s Goodwill, your purchases help support job training and employment services locally. That adds a feel-good layer to the whole thrift shopping mission.
If you want to spend some time browsing through used clothing, furniture, and other secondhand items while contributing to a good cause, the Goodwill Outlet Store in Dallas has that covered. It’s a different vibe from your usual thrift shop, but for anyone serious about Dallas thrift, it’s a spot that deserves a few hours of your weekend.

I went for the first time at this goodwills bins last week! i tried watching enough videos just to know what to expect lol honestly i thought it would be a bad experience because i usually dont like going shopping when theres tons of people and ive seen videos of how people can get at the bins but everyone was nice and respectful. Workers were also nice and made it very clear to everyone before shopping to be respectful with everyone! Also i was confused on why the carts were at the wall so i asked a lady and she was very kind to explain the rules and she also told me about how pricing worked! Left with tons of good finds for such a steal! Dont get discouraged for the reviews or videos, just go and give it a try! I would said its better to go with someone else to get a bit of help because i was looking through the bins but i would spy on my cart lol every minute to make sure nobody was near my cart trying get my stuffs! But other than that ill be back for sure!
We are avid outlet shoppers no matter the city we are in. This was our first time to the Dallas area outlet location! KIDS WERE ALLOWED, however, you cannot shop the floor with carts so you must bring a stroller. All carts are left against the walls. Therefore your kid would be strapped into a cart along the wall away from you, so please keep that in mind. I was never asked or questioned about pushing the stroller even though no carts were allowed on the floor! Bathrooms were relatively clean. It’s an outlet store so just remember it’s not perfect and not meant to be clean! I also really liked how they did not make us weigh our cart like other facilities!! Made it more accurate when it came time to pay! Prices were comparable to most outlet locations, especially Houston. Bins were rotated faster than any place I’ve been! Every 15 to 20 minutes if not sooner!! Go check it out! Worth the trip if in the area!
The Dallas bins have went from one of the best, to probably the absolute worst. Do not travel to come here and think you’ll have a positive experience. A business who gets product for free has greedily doubled their price. I encourage everyone to contact goodwill corporate and let them know your feelings. Whoever is running this outlet needs to be corrected and find another line of employment. Looking at the reviews over the last couple of months should tell anyone with common sense that this wasn’t the best decision…Saying that you’re keeping prices as reasonable as you can is nothing but a slap in a competent persons face and is laughable. Is there anyone in management with critical thinking skills employed still?
This place use to be good until upper management got greedy and start overcharging for stuff that they get for free. I spoke to some of the workers and they told me that they were shock too about the higher prices. They told me the higher prices per pound didn’t mean that they would get a raise, because they didn’t! These items are donated for free, so how do you go from 1.79 to 2.89 within one week for clothing and 1.39 per book or media 1.49 per linen and so on. These are donated items. Let me tell you where the money is going and why, answer: Corporate Greed!!! I know prices are up everywhere, but again these items are donated! So there is No Need for goodwill outlet to raise their prices! They get these items for free! You have employees working extremely hard to bring out items for us and Goodwill pays these people pennies to work, even in extreme heat! (Pay those employees better wages!) Give those employees a bonus, encourage and contribute to those who want to go back to school! Use some of that money towards your employees! Pay Forward! So where is that extra money going Goodwill? Not to the employees, there is no update on those filthy bathrooms, no update to get a working AC! There is NO working AC so expect to be miserable during Summer/Fall Months from May to October when shopping there. I’ve been going there for over three years and they have never had working air condition! *Bring your toilet paper (cause they don’t have none) if you dare step into one of those Scary bathrooms!*. Goodwill be better! Note: pretty sure Goodwill will not respond to my post. That’s ok! But people need to know how Dallas goodwill outlet operates! Part 2 11/19/2025 Update!! Nothing have changed! Bathrooms still Nasty, No toilet paper! Still have to ask counter for some! They charging $1.39 per book even if it’s a child’s book only have eight pages in there. Goodwill Bins in Dallas charge so much money for a book! And Austin Texas Goodwill outlets books are 4 for a 1.00. Goodwill outlet stores in Houston Texas book prices are 3 for 1.00. The clothing, shoes, linens, and purses are all included together for 1.99 per pound as long as it is 50lbs or more, other than that it is 2.49 but it includes all the above! In Houston, If you buy a piece of clothing and it is 1/2 pound then you pay 1/2 pound. Just like it should be but goodwill outlet in Dallas if you buy a piece of clothing item and it’s 1/2 a pound they have to round it off so you have to pay entire pound for 1/2 of the clothing. Now, do you think that’s fair? Goodwill outlet in Dallas have a lot to learn! They need to go around to different Goodwill outlet locations from San Antonio Austin to Houston and see how they operate! For example, Houston goodwill outlets are on a next level compared to Dallas outlet! Houston outlet store is cleaner, they have a better variety of items! They don’t rush you when in the store, they are very helpful, friendly, and they make your shopping experience pleasant! They close at 8 pm and put new items out until 7:45pm.they don’t rush you out the store even if it is past clothing time! Their prices are better, they are trying to get rid of stuff and not keep it like Dallas! Houston outlet prices are better and cheaper! Items don’t sit! In Dallas, since prices of items are much higher, items sit there! For instance , glass and glass wear .79 per pound in Dallas, well nobody buying that cause it’s too high! I literally saw them take the glass ware that don’t sell and dump them in a large bin, ( breaking and shattering) and brought to the dumpster! So instead of lowering the prices so more people could buy it, they rather keep the price high, sell less, while they contribute to the massive landfill! Goodwill outlet need to lower prices, stop rounding stuff off when it’s not a pound, they better quality items , stop rushing people, get better customer service! Oh, and by all means clean that nasty bathroom!!! Thanks goodwill outlet in Dallas! Y’all are 1 of a kind!! Again management will not respond!
This place was a dream of treasure for a really good deal. Now suddenly the things I want to look for like hats and such are no longer sold by the pound. Everything is a set price per each item no matter what the condition. Total outrage and disappointment. They need to stop letting people have like 5 carts each too as they camp there all day and nobody else can get one.
