“Definitely a place you can loose hours in looking around. The random and useful things all over the store. You will find something that you didn't even know you wanted or needed every time”
“A very thoughtfully laid-out shopping experience. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Came across a few great finds at reasonable prices... including a metal bat for my belfry.”
“Very unique thrift store that is always getting in very interesting items. Very friendly staff. The only bad thing I'll say is the layout of the store is a bit chaotic and could use a bit better management on that part. That one thing aside this is a fun place to check out. Especially both for those looking for good bargains and to support local businesses.”
“Majority of offerings are true thrift prices. Be prepared to go on offense like a receiver trying to get to the end zone if your are cartless while navigating the aisles. Hard working volunteers.”
“The absolute lowest prices of any Twin Cities thrift store, and everything is well-organized and easy to browse. Excellent selection of women's clothing including high-end brands, plus jewelry, toys, games, puzzles, books, movies, housewares, home decor, and even greeting cards. The store is clean, pleasant, and regularly restocked with high-quality items.
Your purchases support a women's center that stands out by supporting moms and families until children reach preschool age—not just through pregnancy. Great finds at unbeatable prices while supporting a wonderful cause.”

“Great place. Big, spacious and has a variety of items that change constantly. The shop people are always helpful and pretty cherry. If you need furniture, paint, building materials, lighting, etc - it's a good way to help your community and find a treasure. Donating is easy also. Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible on the west side of the building.”
“Awesome place to find deals they have a variety of sale types and a great rewards program and staff are helpful...giving a shout out to Cassandra and the ladies at the Ham Lake location for always having a clean organized store and making sure there is always plenty to look at and clothes racks are always full...staff is amazing and friendly they are knowledgeable about everything pathways is all about...”
“What a cute thrift store! My daughter and I visited today, just to look around. We found several baby items for her little bundle arriving next year. They also had a large selection of clothing for all ages and some very cute Christmas decorations. The owner seemed very sweet and friendly. We will definitely be back to find some more treasures!”
“I am an eBayer who comes to Minnesota often. While here, Savers is a must-go-to place to pick up inventory. This location has much better prices than other Savers. Slightly more run-down area, but you make up for it with better deals that leave some profit for resellers and help with your family budget too. Tons of jerseys for your next backyard game!”

“I really enjoy shopping at the Salvation Army Thrift Store! They have some great vintage finds if you take the time to look. I also love their weekly discounts—children's clothing is half off on Tuesdays, and students get 25% off on Thursdays. Plus, they have a good selection of household items at reasonable prices. Always worth a visit if you're hunting for unique treasures or shopping on a budget.”
“This is a conveniently located thrift store with easy access and a dedicated parking lot, making arrival and entry straightforward. The availability of parking helps reduce some of the common barriers associated with visiting thrift stores, especially during busier periods. Visiting on a Saturday afternoon, the store had a steady flow of customers, but it remained possible to browse comfortably without feeling overly crowded.
The store offers a range of secondhand clothing, household goods, and miscellaneous items typical of a Goodwill location. Prices were generally fair and consistent with expectations for a nonprofit thrift store, providing opportunities for affordable purchases across a variety of categories. Items were organized in a way that made browsing manageable, allowing customers to move through sections efficiently.
One notable limitation is the absence of fitting rooms. This makes it more difficult to evaluate clothing fit prior to purchase and may require customers to make decisions without trying items on. For shoppers focused on clothing, this could impact the overall convenience of the experience.
Overall, the Arden Hills Goodwill provides a functional thrift shopping environment with fair pricing and easy parking access. While the lack of fitting rooms may reduce convenience for some shoppers, the store remains a practical option for those looking to browse secondhand goods. The steady but manageable level of activity on a Saturday afternoon reflects its role as a regularly used community thrift store.”
“Enjoy this location. Well laid out. Quality items priced reasonably. Wide variety of sizes, from infant to large men and women. Beautiful glass ware. Music, baskets, toys, and more. I like that they have several outlets to try appliances, electronics, etc. One of the best deals I found was a Shark hand held steamer for $12.99. It was new. I am a regular. I highly recommend taking a trip to find all the good deals.”

“I myself am shocked at how pricey they are
But I do know this..,. This is the corps income including ringing of the bells that they receive annually
But they do need to lighten it up a bit”
“*Easy drive up donations. Sometimes they have new stuff here. Organized well. Staff usually friendly.
I like some of the furniture. I checked there before I go to Walmart.”
“Good place to upcycle and give a new home to items that still have more life. Needed warm Jacket in a extra large size to go over a shoulder surgery. I know I can use it for 6 weeks and then re donate for someone else to get more use.”
“If you're a nifty thrifty type of person, you might like this place. It's like thrift shopping on steroids because people literally go through the carts here. I hear it can get pretty intense though when the employees bring out a new cart to thrift through.”
“Went in to both sale and shop. While they didn’t buy much, they are super friendly and the store was clean and organized.
It was super busy both with sales and people shopping, but line moved quickly!”
“Puzzle section is huge! Prices vary from $3.99-9.99 which is more than I'd want to pay, but I buy the lower cost ones! Everyone is really nice that works here. I only come every few weeks or so, as I live 30 min away. I also love looking at furniture, pets stuff and clothing. Oh! And makeup!”
