Bargain Junkies Bin Store — Local services in Saint Joseph

Edit to address the owner’s comments and outright LIES. 😂 No one said it was cool, nor did either my husband or I say it makes sense. It makes zero sense. You have one employee answering me one thing and then you’re talking over the employee as im inquiring and looking at my husband completely confused. 😂 You can claim you sold items and made money, but the other reviews say you sell people absolute garbage (bounce houses that don’t work, broken lamps). Replying in defense of this business while trying to gaslight your critics isn’t a flex. This store is garbage, smells, and sells items that belong in the trash. Allow me to help you with your literacy regarding your comment, “Your leaving a 1 star review because you was under the impression that you could fill an entire storage tote with items that retail for $10 or more and buy the whole tote for only $10! It’s ok to not understand how a bin store works but to leave a bad review solely off the fact that you personally didn’t understand something is a stretch!” That should read, “You’re leaving a 1 star review because you were under the impression….” So have the day you deserve scamming people who weren’t onto your nonsense rather than us.

I will admit that we never heard of a bin store, but my husband and I stopped by this one yesterday in the Green Hills parking lot. I was trying to figure out what was going on and how to shop this store. There are black wooden crates that are elevated with stuff in them. There were plastic bins all over. I asked the female employee, “So is it everything we can fit in a plastic bin for $10?” The woman nodded but then a male (bald, maybe 40s) said, “No, it’s whatever is in our black bins.” They were wooden planter crates. I have never heard anyone call those “bins.” Super weird and absolute garbage (think cheap Temu crap) for $10/each. Clothes were $1 but I’m not looking through wooden troughs for clothes for my kids. Nothing is labeled and organized. This is the weirdest business model I have ever seen. Are people buying cheap phone chargers for $10...

Went in today, and had the cutest little cashiers help me !! Found some great stuff for $10. Bin stores are always a hit or miss, some things might be missing or a little damaged - but the trick is to thoroughly look through everything and inspect it, you can find a lot of hidden gems that way (and for the price it’s worth it). Had a fun time, very organized clean and kid friendly. Overall the atmosphere was very positive. The bins were pretty picked through, as expected, so can’t wait for...

BUYER BEWARE. I bought a bounce house here for $50. I had them test it but everyone knows to test a bounce house you need about 10 minutes to know if there is a leak, not less than a minute of it being blown up. I got home and set it up. 5 minutes after it being set up it collapsed. I reached out to them about this and because of their no refund policy they refused to give any kind of refund or credit. All bin stores I've even been to test their big ticket items, this is definitely...
