Overall I enjoy going to Johns Liquidation and Bin Store (formerly called Steals and Deals Bin Store of Douglas). You never know what you are going to find if you have the patience to sift through the bins on the days they allow the boxes to be open at the examination tables. They used to allow examination all the way until $1.00 day, but they changed it to $2.50 day now, so if you don't go by then you can pretty much bet that anything left in an unnamed box is likely something you don't want or need. They have made some changes over the past month or so and allow shopping carts in the store, which take up way too much space, and you can't move around them easily on the new cycle (usually on Saturday which is $12.50 day). There are too many people trying to score a deal with those carts and blocking the bins, and is upsetting. I wish they would not allow those carts until later in the day on Saturday after that initial rush occurs and could allow it the rest of the week as it usually isn't that busy (other than $1.00 day of course). I've scored several great deals there and usually get things from 70 to 90% off retail price. As for their "retail" section, I feel overall they are mostly overpriced. They market it as 50% off "retail", but quite a few items are still too high. When they do the additional 25% off then you are getting a good deal on top of the 50% and that is when I usually shop the "retail" section. Overall though, I'm glad they are there because I have been able to find several great things at an excellent price! read more
