If you love bargain hunting, Bin City is such a fun and unique place to check out! It's basically a warehouse of bins filled with random items--mostly overstock or lost packages--so you never know what you'll uncover.
Location & Parking: They have their own parking lot, which makes it easy to stop by. At first, our GPS sent us to the wrong address, but luckily their big "Bin City" sign out front is easy to spot. (Staff mentioned they're updating the online address soon.)
Pricing & Schedule: Prices drop throughout the week, which makes every day a little different:
* Friday - $12
* Saturday - $9
* Sunday - $7
* Monday - $5
* Tuesday - $3
* Wednesday - $1 (their busiest day)
* Thursday - Closed for restocking
We visited on a $5 Monday, which turned out to be a great balance--good variety of items without heavy crowds.
Our Finds: We scored fairy lights (around $10-11 value at Walmart) for just $5, plus a bunch of glow sticks bundled together as a single item. Many things are still boxed, though some packages had been opened by other shoppers. That's just the nature of this type of store.
Service: The staff was really friendly and helpful. They explained how the pricing works, were welcoming throughout our visit, and checkout was smooth (they take both cards and cash and give receipts).
Overall: Bin City is a cool place if you enjoy digging for bargains and love the idea of "treasure hunting." Each day has its own vibe, depending on the price point, so it's worth trying different days to see what you can find. read more
