bin store baby find
Bin stores are the best! If you’re not familiar with these, they’re stores that buy pallets of returned merchandise and resell it. Most of it comes from Amazon returns and is still in unopened packages. If you’re willing to spend time digging through the massive amount of stuff there can be some good finds! My local store is open five days a week, Friday-Tuesday, and everything is a certain price each day. It starts at $5 on Friday and decreases by $1 til everything is only $1 on Tuesday. Tuesdays are my favorite days to go! The high end items are gone but there are always still great finds to be found.
Yesterday I went and one of the items I found was this water mat. It’s got little foam sea animals in it and makes waves when it’s poked or hit. My son loves it! This thing kept him entertained for nearly half an hour - I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but for an 11 month old it’s an eternity!

Bin stores are a treasure trove for savvy shoppers looking for great deals on returned merchandise. Primarily sourced from Amazon, these shops offer a variety of products at significantly reduced prices. Customers can browse through these stores to find everything from household items to kid's toys, often still in their original packaging. A key benefit of bin stores is their ever-changing inventory; each week brings new products as they replenish their stock. Shoppers can often find items for just $1 on the last day of the sale, making it an excellent opportunity to score high-quality items for a fraction of the cost. Many parents, especially, have stories about finding engaging sensory toys that are perfect for keeping little ones entertained. As you explore these stores, remember to check back frequently since stock rotates quickly and you never know when you'll find the next big bargain. Share your experiences with others and learn from fellow shoppers about their incredible finds and tips for maximizing your trips to bin stores. It's a unique way to shop sustainably, save money, and discover unexpected gems!
