Aurora Discounts is a good place for cheap crap. It seriously has some pretty amazing deals…read more Quality of products can be questionable but still has plenty of good stuff. Household items for cleaning or anything else. The prices are cheap for most things. Hispanic and Latino owned business. It mostly caters to this population that lives around here. There's lots of items in Spanish but most are in English too. Find cheap liters of pop for a buck. There's also snacks like big bags of nuts for a dollar or more. Cleaning supplies and other household goods can be found. These are mostly for cooking and kitchens. Credit cards are mostly accepted. It has surprisingly good stuff even though it's cheap. There's a small parking lot but it's shared with a bank so be careful to be in the right spot or you could be towed.

I'm a fan of Ollie's Bargain Outlet from visiting their stores in Ohio. I love their comical…read morethemes. Tons of great items that are absolutely bargains from cheap snacks, even liquid death cases! There's books, automotive, suitcases, bathroom, kitchen products and so much more. It's a newer store with tons of customers taking in this exciting new place but I will say one of my complaints is that me and my wife experienced lack of toilet paper in their restrooms. Not the cleanest store nor are they as humerously engaging like their Ohio stores. Wouldn't mind coming back again!

Out of the 2 other similar discount bin stores I have checked out in the area, this one was my…read morefavorite in term of types of products in the bins and cleanliness. I found useful items like silicon mat, trivets, craft supplies, pillows, and miscellaneous items. There's a giant "Do Not Open" sign hanging, but there's a box opening station with knives towards the front of the store where you can open the boxes. Many if not all the items are from Amazon, so you can read the description on the stickers to look up details on Amazon website or app. This was helpful to know more about the item, especially if the box is not opened. None of the items I purchased were damaged or missing pieces. If you come on the last day (Wed. $1), expect to see a crowd of people combing through the bins. You can still find great bargains on the last day, albeit you'll find better items in the beginning of the sale cycle (Fri-Sun). They charge a small credit card fee and you can save a little more if you pay with cash. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2025

I have to admit, I judged Ollie's before I ever walked through the front door…read more When I hear "closeout" or "bargain" store, my mind immediately goes to digging through disorganized mountains of who-knows-what, wondering if I'll find a bargain or just leave needing a tetanus booster. So I walked in expecting one thing...and left wondering why I hadn't shopped here years ago. The store was clean, organized, and packed with recognizable name brands at prices that honestly made me do a double take. Every aisle seemed to have another great find, and instead of feeling like I was on an episode of Storage Wars, I actually enjoyed browsing. The employees were genuinely friendly, smiled, and seemed happy to help. That alone sets Ollie's apart from a lot of retailers these days. And I have to give a shout-out to whoever curates the music. Instead of the usual elevator soundtrack that makes you wonder if time has stopped, it actually made shopping enjoyable. Then I found out they have a 30-day return policy. That completely caught me off guard. I honestly can't remember the last bargain or closeout store I visited that confidently said, "If it doesn't work out, bring it back." Great prices are one thing, but standing behind what you sell says a lot about a company. The biggest surprise wasn't how much money I saved--it was how much confidence I had shopping there. Ollie's doesn't feel like a place that's just trying to move leftover inventory. It feels like a company that genuinely wants customers to come back. Needless to say, they earned a new customer. I can already tell this won't be my last trip.

This is a review of Shorewood Liquidators, also known as sliBuy.com, of Shorewood, IL…read more sliBuy Auctions, also known as Shorewood Liquidators, is that rare company that tells you in plain and easy to understand language just how they make money. 1) THEY CREATE FAKE BIDDERS TO BID AGAINST YOU: Go to sliBuy.com, then go to the section marked "Terms & Conditions". Read the paragraph clearly titled "Seller Bidding". It tells you, IN PLAIN ENGLISH, that they bid against you. Yes, they actually have their computer program create fake bidder names, and this computer program then makes you bid up to your maximum pre-determined bid (they know it because you were dumb enough to enter the maximum you were willing to pay). If you did not enter your maximum bid and decide to "snipe" bid in real time as the auction draws to a close, their software determines how many times your internet IP address logged on and looked at that item- and the computer program does the rest. If you don't bid enough money, the computer program's fake bidder "wins" the item and it will be relisted next week under a new "auction ID number". Did you understand that? This is not a true auction site. There is a saying in poker that when you sit down at the table and can't spot the sucker, then YOU are the sucker. 2) THE LABELS "NEW/OTHER", "USED", "SHELF PULL", and "UN-INSPECTED ITEM" MEAN NOTHING: Go to sliBuy.com and then to "Terms & Conditions". Go to the paragraph clearly marked "Terms". They are telling you that "new" doesn't mean anything. An employee earning $12 an hour and at a very fast pace has to label things and photograph the outside of the box. What they call a "new" professional paint sprayer model XYZ sold at Home Depot could very well mean "Model ABC used for two years by a paint company, no longer working, and important parts removed so that it will never work again". In a court of law, a "reasonable" person could understand and define what "new" or "used" means. Here, they tell you- IN PLAIN ENGLISH, that this means nothing. So that is what sliBuy tells you, if you bothered to read the easy to understand large print from their website. *** Now this is what I tell you....I met many people who buy from sliBuy each week, and then re-sell the items on Craigslist, eBay, OfferUp, flea markets, and even (in the case of fake Pampers diapers returned by Amazon customers) to inner city "mom and pop" corner stores. I know one lady who buys about 100-200 boxes of diapers from sliBuy each week! She re-sells them to the inner city corner stores where customers are not the type to write letters to the manufacturer complaining about the degrading quality of the product. Another gent I met is "Hank". He makes a living buying whatever is "hot" at the moment, such as juicers for people wanting to lose weight gained during the Covid-19 pandemic. He brings an electrical cord and drives down the building to an outdoor electrical outlet, plugs in each of the electrical items he just "won", and tests them. If any are inoperable, he returns right away for store credit. Since he is a "regular" there, he has no trouble and is helped by staff. And that is why I give it 5 stars. For people who actually read the easy to understand "Terms & Conditions", and for "regular" customers, it is a way to make a living. If you are too lazy and dumb to spend 20 seconds reading their "Terms & Conditions", you will lose.

"Appears New" seems to be their default when selling a broken/used item wrapped in plastic, and "used" for an item that will be broken, missing parts, missing hardware, and often unusable. They claim that they don't test their items, and that you must inspect an item, if you want to be sure what you are getting. There are no refunds or returns. You cannot depend on any pictures of a product as an example of it's condition because it is very likely not an accurate representation of the item you will receive. Good Luck!!

Warehouse 55 is a hike, but once you get there, you'll be happy…read more This is set up like your average "booth rental" consignment place, but the place is huge (2 levels) and the booths are more like full rooms! It's beautifully curated - no digging for treasure here. This place is on the pricier side and some vendors have things that are clearly bought from overseas. But for the most part, Warehouse 55 sells gems! A lot of the vendors have their own IG pages where I've seen a few "must have" things - you still have to purchase through Warehouse 55, but it's another set of eyes on the prize;) I bought my incredible set of printing press dressers/shelves and use it as my jewelry box. I still have 7 drawers to fill! The ladies needing the counter have always been chatty and lovely! They're there to gab about your pieces and vendors- you can tell they love working here:) There's not much else in Aurora so make a trip to see the consignment pieces and grab lunch!
