Marini’s Discounts — Local services in Concord

5/7/23 I came here because I was told this was a new "bin store". I have been to one other one and this one was a hard pass. First the store is not bright nor inviting. Second they had music that wasn't my taste, but that's not a deal breaker. I walked in and see a bin with a set price of $25 and then there's a bin for $8. The $25 bin had some decent items, but not enough for me remember. The $8 bin table only had a six pack of wet wipes. I looked into the bins to maybe find something at the price of today $6. I saw some items that might have been worth $6 like a pet heating pad that looked like it was still sealed in box. It was really a hodge podge of items. Then there's the wall of items still in boxes and not in boxes. There was a dog bed like a Coolaroo that was labeled with the price of $30. That was a big turn off. Other items looked like they were practically retail price. Of course there's all sales final and no returns. I left empty handed and don't think I'll go unless it's dollar day or more discounted. I wish this place luck, but honestly I think they need to change their pricing and have the items that they're charging retail price for to at least have a...

The finds at this store compared to Jackpot bins during $1 days are incomparable. Jackpotbins have gotten really junky recently for their cheap bins on dollar days. Only clothes and the lowest items. At Marini, I’ve found ornaments, really expensive plates, brooks &nike shoes, and even Godzilla. It’s fun to treasure hunt here.

Downside is that the staff seems a bit too uncaring for certain items. There were many good ornaments broken, and although I haven’t gotten my hands cut, you can never be too careful. Be sure to wash hands after and wear a mask because there are definitely stuff in there that is mixed with broken items.

The staff feel’s unpredictable when it comes to pricing. There is one staff that is super serious about the pricing, and then the other you can bargain with. Sometimes it feels their pricing and overall rules are inconsistent, and they won’t tell you that price until you get to the counter.

I unfortunately will shop here, as finding stuff here for $1 or 50cent is well worth my time then jackpot bins, despite the mediocre customer service. The best you can do, is just hope on dollar days it...

Like looking for a needle in a haystack! It's a dump! Enormous bins loaded with a mess of everything from every dept mixed together! Nothing folded. Some bins are half useless parts of nobody knows what. It's like they keep dumping new inventory into the bins and never clean out the trash, i.e. empty boxes and packing, pieces and parts missing and loose. And it's hot in there! It may have been better when they started. I only saw young male employees mostly doing nothing. Need to hire women . They'll be busy folding clothes, cleaning out trash and organizing bins. How many young males know anything about folding clothes and tidying up, or qre...
