A bit pricy, but really interesting things can be found in brand new or very good conditions.Check out line tends to get long here.Good location

Its on the corner of where I used to live 23 years ago. Tons have changed. They kept the Efinger name to Efinger Plaza. Its a great place to shop. Im wearing clothes from there right now.

Its my go to place when I got nothing to do in Bound Brook lol. Colored tags are now 40% off, not 50%. Note that clothes are assorted by color THEN size. It took me awhile to get it because its different in other Goodwill stores.

If you are donating items, know that they only accept donations at certain times of the day and are not very helpful if you arrive outside of this time. (Call ahead to find out when they accept). The manager of the store was quite rude and unhelpful.I’ve visited other goodwill donation centers and was greeted with helpful and welcoming staff, so this is where I will go to donate my items.

Ive been to this store dozens of times, but this morning was the worst its been. Store opened late (10:05) because neither of the front doors would open correctly (Fire hazard) and then we were told we needed masks. Ive been there with my wife twice since the mandate was lifted, both times with no mask and was in a store with several others unmasked. So is it a store choice, or just based on the manager on duty? Seemed ostracizing the was we were addressed, especially since we are repeat customers. Regardless, when they get their policies and facilities in line, Ill consider returning... until then avoid it.

Terrible service. I showed up at 4:00 pm in the afternoon and the associates in the back tell me theyre closed. The website says youre open to 6:00. Maybe you should make sure your store hours are consistent with what you put on the website. Also, Im told donations are at a certain time. None of this is mentioned on the website. More importantly, the back area where they collect donations is littered with garbage and broken glass on the street. Youre just asking for flat tire if you go here, so I went out the other way instead. When people donate their stuff, it should never ever be a hassle!!

Not bad but not great. While there are some good deals some of their prices are way off. For example water shoes which you can get at Walmart for $8 dollars are sold used for $10. Or an old Keurig that looks dirty and rusty for $30. But to be fair there are some good deals as well like whole plate sets for $18.

I went to this store to make a donation at 4pm today and was told that you can only make donations between 10am and 2pm. Your website doesnt give the donation hours only that youre open until 6pm. When I called the store I was told that they wouldnt make an exception and that I could go to the store on Rte 22. When I asked if they could make an exception because I drove from Edison, the man abruptly hung up on me. I looked up the store on Rte 22 and it is closed. Such poor customer service.

Have donated tons of stuff - a ‘God send’ when cleaning out home. Often find broken items on the shelves for weeks at a time. Shelves are dirty and outside store need litter cleaned up. Prices on little tchotchkes are way too high but most items well priced. I enjoy stopping by and usually find Something.Why not a bargain bin for inexpensive items that aren’t moving- any $ better than nothing.

A medium sized Goodwill store that has a very large parking lot. It is in the Effinger Plaza. This store has a wide range of items clothes, dishes, toys, cds,dvds,small appliances, artwork, lamps and small furniture. They are tight on space and dont carry many large items. They have a drive up donation location on the side of building. Very clean store. Prices can be described as on the higher side. Some good deals can be found but it will take some looking. Thrift store prices are a result of it being more hip to shop thrift.

Perfect,clean....a tad higher prices than other Goodwill Outlets...

Attempting to donate brand new, still tagged clothing, we called to verify they would take our donation. They would in fact take them. We were told to drive around the side of the building to drop off donations. We arrived with our donations in boxes and the tax deduction slips with item descriptions, maker, size, color and quantities. All we required was their organization name, address, tax ID number and a value to be added by the organization. The employee had no idea what to do and called a manager outside. The manager was anything but happy or eager to accept our donation. She said they do not assign value to items nor do they fill out the paperwork that we had brought with us completed already other than the organizations tax ID, name, address and value of the items. They said they only offer a receipt of material voucher with no value attached for tax deductible purposes. With that she turned and walked away. So we had no choice but to load our donations up and leave. I would love to see people who work for this charity be happy that others want to help and only require a few minutes of time to remedy any situation that arises such as this. Better management of am sure would do the trick.

Very very expensiveHigh pricess and not at all organizedEvery time i go there, it feels like very poor organization and its way more expensive than other stores, plus high end brands are like way more expensive, so disappointing 😒

This good will is a great store! I shop here all the time, and never had an issue! The employees are very helpful and nice! Even though it is a bit messy more so then other Good Wills a person can still pick up some great finds! I recommend going here for sure!

Kitchen appliances and home decor are below average. 🌟They shine with their clothes🌟This store has a great shoe collection for men/women and they carry a lot of dresses💫 Expect to find quality jackets, shirts, pants, etc. Their prices are fair, staff are friendly. 👍 Would recommend this Goodwill 💙

Wow changed hours on google listing but the phone still says 9-9. Good job goodwill. Sigh

Used clothes for cheap, I got amazing dresses for 10.99$ and even for 1$ I got jeans.

This store is ok. sometimes you can find good stuff

Tried calling the place on 5pm today, a lady picked up and hung up as soon as I started to ask a question. This was only after I called once and they let it ring. Not a good place if you want to ask what they have before going in.

Worst part about the store is the clothes are sorted by color. Seems silly that a size large has to rifle through hundreds of XSs in hopes to find something.

I went there yesterday Sunday. Tops are $5.99 and bottoms are $7.99. That’s expensive for Goodwill. Most goodwill stores are much cheaper. Clothes were garbage brands, nothing nice. Way too expensive for Goodwill. Green tags were 40% off but nothing had green tags on them. Long lines that took forever and no shopping bags. They had a large jar for $14.99, I could get brand new at home goods for cheaper. Won’t be going back there

Make sure to bring a bag or two with you, they no longer provide bags for your purchased items.The quality of this store has really gone downhill in the past few months, the store is clean and the prices are fair but its getting harder and harder to find decent things to buy.

If you ever feel like visiting Beverly Hills and shopping on Rodeo Drive, you can save the airfare and shop here. Coffee mugs? Two dollars to five dollars. Barbie dolls? I saw them for twenty dollars. I looked at a used bluetooth keypad (thats the number pad and the numlock key) and it was more money than I could buy a new one on amazon.com. We called three times over ten minutes before we got there to ask if their bathrooms were open yet (all the other Goodwill NYNJ locations are) and nobody answered any time. For the record, the bathrooms are still closed.

We enjoy hunting for bargains. My daughter loves to look at all the in and out of style clothing for laughs. Some real bargains as well.

Wonderful experience after driving for hours only to find stuffed donation boxes.Bound Brook NJ store was professional, efficient, and welcoming. Thank you!

Very organized and Friendly staff, excellent experience 👍

Worst goodwill Ive been to. Atlantic highlands does it best. This store was very unorganized. Was not worth the trip

Store might be a favor for some people but not for me. Too ick for me and way too unorganized for me. Especially when a lot of the books was dirty or written on as well not that much inventory with the video games behind the glass. Too cheap quality for me too to the point a regular 99 cent store and even somewhere like Dollar Tree or Family Dollar would put it to shame.I guess thats what I get expecting it to be like the videos on YouTube.Sorry but I just had to make a review and again probably already a favor for some other people.

Good place to find what you might need for a fancy dinner party or something for a friend without BREAKING the bank.

I went to find bargains on ceramic, glass etc. Youtubers say pay $2 resell for $40, no, these people know what they have & price high. Better deals at restore.

Over priced for a goodwill and doesn’t honor coupons. I could go on and on about why I don’t like this place. Don’t waste your money or your time.

Nice people work here. Always organized, stocked, my goto goodwill location.

Barely any good clothes tried looking for about 30 minutes couldn’t find anything also there prices are really high it’s also really cramped couldn’t look through Any clothes.

I found an item with no price tag in electronics. Brought it to employee for price check. They Brought it in back. Older lady came out yelling where is the box you took it out of the box! I explained there was never a box and almost none of the electronics at good will have a box. She ran around the store for a few more minutes frantically looking for the mysteriously disappearing box. Without another word stormed into the back after which a younger employee emerged with the item bearing a $50 price tag. I checked online and new items of this brand and model were selling for much less. The reaction seemed way out of place for something which should have been priced at about 5 bucks at any other thrift store and that the business had received as a feee donation. Wont be returning any time soon!

Great finds at the right time!!

Maybe Goodwill should consider hiring employees who dont treat their customers like actual garbage, when someone asks for assistance and is told they CAN go behind the counter, dont storm up and blow up on the customer when you have two employees standing there allowing it. Needs better organization because you shouldnt be required to hang over the counter to see the dozens of items behind said counter. Horrible customer service from who ever said manager is, maybe you should train your employees better.

Easy access with lots of parking. Reasonable prices, with special 50% off the color tag of the day. Well organized, clean, household, clothing and more. Friendly, helpful staff and all for a good cause. Its a win-win!

This location is clean and well organized. I love their prices, and they have a great selection. Every time we go there we find the staff to be friendly and pleasant . Brand new Nikes found today for $14.00. Score!!!

I only stopped at their express drive-through drop off area, to drop off some bags of clothes to donate, so I can only speak for that part of this business. The drop off was quick and efficient, with an attendant who helped me offload the bags and provide a donation receipt for tax deduction purposes.If youre looking to donate things and be able to claim a deduction on your taxes: I highly recommend this quick and painless method.

Horrible store. They sell things that are broken, and hide the broken parts with tape. Saw an item with an original price tag of $5. Goodwill was selling it for $10. DOUBLE the original price. Plus, there is only 1 sale color now. And the sale color is only 40%, not 50% anymore.They sell things in sets, but put the sets on different aisles and shelves. Good luck finding all the pieces. I will not be going back.

The things there were of good quality

Clean, organized, and friendly. Not your expected thrift store should experience. Even donating is easy: drive up, drop off, and get a receipt. Highly recommend!

This store used to be a good place to shop. The selection is still good, but the prices! The prices are approaching full retail. I guess they forgot that this is a thrift store, not a luxury store.

Its very frustrating g to shop in a Goodwill store that is so overpriced across the board, and then will not bother to separate clothing by size. it makes zero sense. if you are training people to one day in the retail field, youre setting them up for failure. retail is highly organized and it takes more than color sorting. sizes matter. very clean store and very pleasant staff, but the prices are almost retail.

I was impressed by the amount stuff they had. I did find some awesome vintage china for a low price and some vintage Pioneer speakers. The prices vary wildly. Some items seem over priced while others are really reasonable. You have to dig for the good stuff because theres so much inventory but its worth it.

Terribly over priced, seriously dont listen to any 5 star reviews. Ive seen new items for sale almost the same prices as these used items. A pathetic excuse of a Goodwill, I honestly cant understand how anyone would comfortably pay these prices for used goods, cheaper to buy new from Walmart.

This is a big space with a large variety of items for sale. They have clothing for everyone from children to adults and also knick-knacks for the house. They have a big parking lot and automatic doors, which is convenient. I dont think there is an entrance to the parking lot on Route 28. It looks like the only entrance is on Thompson.

I couldnt tell who work there.. Nobody asked if I needed help. When I asked a question the woman acted like she didnt want to help me. She just pointed in the direction. Clothes are not in size order... Only went there to help a patient for some cheap clothes. I was better off going to family dollar

Bad,no bathroom available

Went here to look for a Halloween costume and have been back two more times! Great, clean, name brand clothes at very reasonable prices. I love the place!

They wouldnt take our donations. We had crafts, toys and holiday decorations and they would only take things in original packaging. Ive never been to a good will or any donation center that only took items still in packaging. Mugs dont even come in packaging. Not a fan.

Thank God for this place. Cleaning out my house and didnt want to throw it away. They take everything.

Very nice store. Merchandise is clean, well organized, and well presented. It is very quick and easy to make a donation and get a receipt.

I was so excited when this store first opened, but its been a big disappointment. First of all, its obvious that all the Goodwill stores are skimming from what people are donating to them because the quality and selection is poor, not decent like it used to be. Second, Ive donated 3 trunkloads to this location and the workers only said thank you once! That was disturbing. Third, the prices are laughable, way too high for second hand items, and my all-time favorite is that Ive seen the staff take away clothing that was already tagged with the new 50% off colors when it was the first day that those colors were going on sale!!!! I wont waste my time stopping in or donating to such a greedy organization anymore...when good goes bad!

If you are looking for a thrift store with great deals, keep on driving because their items are priced higher than any retail store. I don’t understand how they stay in business.

This Goodwill has some good stuff, but they charge more than vendors on the internet. Do yourself a favor and buy elsewhere for less. For a store thats supposed to be thrifty, this Goodwill is way out of line.

Super deal on their color code @ 50% off ! Got 2 dresses & a blouse that fit great & excellent price too!

I went twice. Clerks were very nice and helpful both times. Very clean and organized. It has a good selection.

Wow!! Worst experience ever. Rudest people ever. Worst goodwill store I have ever shopped. Even donating clothes is difficult at this store. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

Always great deals. Nice and clean. Everyone is nice

Enjoy shopping here and the staff very helpfulMy go to first ..before going to the name brand stores..why pay more..

These prices are above any goodwill I been to. 12.99 shirts, 74.99 sneakers. Definitely not for low income. Just buy at Walmart before shopping here.

Small store.

Great finds, good staff, but recent raise of prices defeating the purpose of buying second hand.

Its for charity. Its like a giant garage sale where the proceeds go to support good causes. I always upvote charities.

Nice layout, well organized, friendly staff. Fun shopping, easy donating.

The receptionist is very friendly and accommodating, they have play area for kids, good thing my son was entertained. Went her 3 times for my husbands back, kind of disappointed the chiropractor didnt resolve my husbands pain, ended up looking for another one.

The clothes are very overpriced for the worn, used condition they are being sold. The staff is clueless about everything and the place is poorly organized. I found many mens clothes in with the womens tops and brands like Old Navy, that typically only sell for $10.00 NEW are selling for $6.00 here in very used condition. You are much better off shopping online or gong to another store. I would not recommend anyone shop here

The worker has a pleasant attitude. The coffee was good.It had no bitter taste.

This isn’t the only goodwill store that Iv been to where I found items priced way too high! Example. Used Xmas lights wrapped in a plastic lunch bag for $10!!!! Seriously? Brand new lights only cost $5 at Walgreens. Whoever is in charge of pricing is not doing a good job. This is a thrift store people!!! Prices should be marked way down for most of the use items.I also came across dirty used heels that were not in the best of shape for $10.Let’s chill out with the greed.I’m also speaking about the goodwill of 22 aswell. Just seems like everyone’s hiking up prices like your buying new items when your not. Anyone who works at goodwill reading this, lower your prices.

The rep Sandy is unprofessional and rude. She rang us and had bought a little over a hundred but we wanted to use the coins worth $15 we had pre-counted and pre-packed ( because we are tourists and can’t use the coins in our country. ) This rude rep said WITH ATTITUDE NO I won’t take your coins. I won’t count your coins! There are lots of customers. ( its right, there were 4 customers behind us. 2 open registers). I asked for the manager and she pointed at lady the in the other counter as the manager who didn’t care as well. Thankfully, very nice and kind Rep named Vicky came to count the coins. We decided not to use the rest of the coins because we were publicly shamed by this rep. Aweful, disgusting rep Sandy in this store. Very poor attitude. Thank you, Vicky for your nice, sweet attitude.

I love goodwill very nice things and everyone is really nice

Lots of clothes, Casher could wrap breakables better,.prices are higher than the one in East Brunswick..

Lots of nice things if you look. Would visit again.

Very organized... just dont ask what color is on sale that day because no matter who you ask you will get an attitude! I just moved to NJ and Ive gone in there several days to buy stuff if any customer ask they always get an attitude.. i learned the first day to just ask where it is i can check because even though theres a sign at the front of the store with NO info of the colors (even though its meant for that) its on another part... i rather go look than ask because of how nasty people can get... really is it hard to say the color? or idk post it in the correct place...

They are not trying to get rich off of donated goods. The store is very well organized and clean.

Despite the website stating that they accept bed frames, they refused to accept the one I brought to them citing that they dont accept bed frames. I tried calling the store twice before going to the effort of loading the bed frame into my car, but no one answered. This is the second such incident Ive had with them over the last six months or so.

Really great items and discounts. I went to donate clothes and browse. The donation express is really efficient

I came to this establishment expecting a quick yet cheap meal. I asked for the McNuggets and was rudely corrected because apparently they call their McNuggets chicken tenders. I decided I would also a order a cheeseburger with a side of small fries. When my meal came I my fries had salt on the EWWW!!! Also my Burger only had half a bun on it somehow. How is that even possible!!? Anyways my experience was underwhelming. Worst Wendys Ive ever been to. 5 out of 10 stars!!!

Good. Ok deals. Hit or miss but worth a look.

We donate a lot to these guys and have found great deals too on coats, etc for our kids

Nice clean and organised store. Fun to explore.

Goodwill customer service reps are a mixture of very good and very rude. Excellent reps are Vicky and Mabel. The very rude ones name is Sandy and the Manager whose name I do not remember. I brought in some tourists with me. They bought more than $100 from this Goodwill store in Boundbrook. They wanted to use their pre-counted coins - around $15. The rude rep Sandy with an attitide said to us, NO, No Im not gonna take that. Im not gonna count that. There are so many customers behind you. My tourist guest was embarassed. She was shocked how rude this person was to us. Good thing Vicky came to the rescue. She was super nice and patiently counted the coins. Superviser didnt care as well for the attitude and the laziness of this Sandy who didnt want to accept or count the coins. Thanks to Vicky. Goodwill Boundbrook experience was a nightmare.

Good prices for good items

Very neat and clean and the workers and staff are very kind and helpful.

I call it the Beverly Hills Goodwill. Way over priced on even the most typical items. Not saying it want it for free, but come on!! I go in for a laugh.

Huge! A little pricey but I love what I got.

Excellent and clean.

Parking was good, but the prices were crazy high

Good deals, friendly and helpful staff. Rapidly changing inventory means theres always something new to see, giving me an excuse to go every few days.

Nice

Prices here are crazy high. Absurdly so. 1 ikea plate, $3; 1 Corelle plate $3; Mikssa plate $5; a small fruit bowl $4. You can get most of this stuff new for less money. Dont go here for housewares.

Kind of small but good variety. A bit pricey for thrift but still reasonable.

Just like shopping there always find something nice

This store was odd. While it seemed normal the electronics section was overflowing off of a single shelf in a giant mess while the rest of the store seemed very well taken care of. Dont bother coming here for anything other then clothes and kitchen nick knacks.

Very pleasant staff, nice drive throu drop off.

Dropped off a lot of various goods. The gentleman was kind in helping remove items from my vehicle.

Prices were a little high for a good will store

Got some pants that smelled like urine

Limited selection and very overpriced. Saw dollar store items for $2-3.
