Just learned that the store was here- not in North Augusta. Daughter and I have made two trips to check it out. The first day, a day they had put out stuff - when we discovered it was there- and everything was $6- and second trip, dollar day- to see the differences. Because we arrived late on 'put out' day, I can't speak to how busy it was early on this day, but I can say it was steady when we were there. The bins were plentiful and there seemed to be a good variety of items. We had them open a couple of things for us and were happy with most of what they opened on that day. On Dollar day, we went earlier, it was much busier and had far fewer items. Many items were already opened- which did make it easier to know if you wanted it or not. There wasn't nearly the variety or the range of items, but BOY, if you NEED or want a phone case- of ANY sort- I'd recommend coming here - and on this day- because I've never seen more of them in one spot ๐ JS We didn't have any problems finding more than what we counted on. Those who work here are very friendly and helpful. They told us about the place and some of the treasures that they occasionally get in- They were happy to open the boxes for us, too, which I appreciated- because if they had been reticent, it would have felt like I was asking too much, and I would likely not bother to pick up items I wasn't certain about. It is uncomfortable to be in a position where you have to ask for assistance and the assistance isn't readily given. It was here- and that earned bonus points for the introvert in me! ๐ My Daughter, very much a grown adult, said she felt like other customers were more pushy on dollar day. She said that there were those who literally snatched things from her hand. I can't say that happened to me. Maybe it's because I had the cart, or I'm older, or maybe someone wasn't paying attention when they did that - I have no idea. ๐โโ๏ธ There were plenty of bargains but none worth being ugly for ๐ - Not even on $6 day- I'm afraid- But hey, maybe that's just me. It just doesn't seem that serious, right?
Summary: Nifty lil store, will have to come back in the middle of a cycle to see a comparison in crowd and items, see how it matches with first and last days- to be fair. Bargains to be had. Mostly random items. It is understood that they get all new and random things in every week. What we saw this week, it may be totally different the week after. ๐ Things we saw this week included: Lots of phone cases, party decor, pillow case pairs, paper items like stickers and calendars, odd and end baby toy & trinket, filters of all sorts and shapes, socks, candles, coffee cup (single), school random items like pencils or dividers or clear tabs or elastics, some hair items, some food items (in small bulk- close to expiry), lots of panels for yard signs or wall decor (? some seasonal, some just decorative), and pet outfits/costumes.

ย ย ย Read moreBeen going to the bin store for a while. Love this place and I love the people. The owners are the most friendly and fair people. They do a great job of ensuring the best possible experience (so long as you follow the rules of the store). Be sure to read the rules, they do enforce them and itโs only to keep you safe and to keep the items they sell at the best condition. Heads up. They do not do returns. Do not walk in expecting special treatment when you want one. They will not give it. They have that rule posted numerous times throughout the store so you donโt make that mistake. The employees are extremely friendly and do a great job of keeping things clean. You will not find a better store like this. Great people and great products at a...

Me and mom went to this place where we were looking through bins. A worker announced the rules over a bullhorn, with the one rule that stood out being that you must be 16 years old to participate. We both found this age requirement unreasonable as most people can see and are aware of what they're about to touch inside the bin. Additionally, some workers had an attitude and were talking about some other customers and rudely talking to some quite young kids that didn't know or really understand what the lady said which further drew us to the conclusion that we will not be returning anytime...
