This is a very interesting store. You never know whats waiting for you in the totes and bins. I’ve spent at least an hour each time I visit. I found a portable cassette radio for my back deck for .50 cents, it didn’t have a power cord but I found a tote of cords and just ferreted one out… took me five minutes. Found shelf supports 1.00 for eight, big box store charges twelve dollars. Like the other reviewer said… the customers are different. When the«new» merchandise gets rolled out the people focus on that and will literally jostle and bump you out of the way to get first choice at the goods. Prices are super sweet… staff pleasant… lots of parking and great deals can be had if your willing to sift.

The Good Cents store is a neat experience and can be a fascinating way to spend the afternoon. Where else can you purchase a VHS copy of Good Will Hunting for pennies on the dollar? It may be a bit shocking to visit if you are not accustomed to seeing people buying clothing by the pound and picking through the detritus that failed to sell in the Goodwill retail store next door. The people who shop here are definitely of a different strip than those you see at the Governor’s Square Mall. In the store, the items are sold out of large plastic bins, which you dig through alongside the other customers. The prices are normally flat-rate and ridiculously cheap. Cups start at 25 cents for example. Clothing is sold by the pound. I’ve never had much luck with the clothing, and don’t normally bother sorting through it. It seems to be mostly women’s anyway. There is also a selection of bedding if you are willing to buy used. Occasionally there will be a piece of furniture in there worth looking at. My favorite items in this store are probably the bins full of books and records. These don’t seem to interest most of the other customers as much as the clothing, but sometimes you can find real gems in there. I always feel like I’m «rescuing» the books when I bring some great classic(Tolstoy, Dickens, etc.) home to my library. Sometimes the vinyl is decent too. On a recent visit I found a copy of Marty Robbins’ El Paso on vinyl for .25. I have an iPod and rarely listen to my records, but they do have a certain cool factor, and for that price, why not?!?
