Shopping Tips

  • Visit on Wednesdays when they first open at 10AM to get first pick of newly stocked merchandise before the limited Wednesday closing time at 1PM.
  • Bring your own reusable shopping bags or containers to easily carry your finds, as items are loose in bins rather than pre-bagged.
  • Check their website (bargainbinsusa.com) before visiting to learn about any special promotions or discount days that might be happening.
  • Don't hesitate to dig deep in the bins—the best treasures are often hidden beneath the top layer of items.
  • Consider wearing comfortable clothes and bringing hand sanitizer, as bin shopping can be a hands-on experience requiring some digging.
