Indiana's home to six different Goodwill outlet locations, and they're basically a haven for thrifters who absolutely love a good dig through stuff. Each location is essentially this warehouse filled with piles of clothes, home goods, toys and more, usually priced around $1.99 per pound. If you enjoy that thrill of the hunt, Indiana's Goodwill bins are perfect for finding unique items or stocking up on pieces to resell online. Just be aware that some outlets here can feel pretty competitive – the vibe can vary from laid-back in one city to intense in another, but that's all part of the experience at these places. For first-timers at the Goodwill outlet, here are a few tips: each location might have its own specific rules (often a "no touching until we say go" rotation system to keep things fair for everyone). Gloves are highly recommended, since you might be digging through rough items like glass or tangled toys that could cut you. Arrive early for the best shot at fresh merchandise, and bring a large bag because carts aren't always available at the Goodwill bins. If you don't find anything great on your first try, keep going back – new inventory gets added daily, and with some practice you'll get the hang of spotting those amazing finds.
