Guide to Bin Stores in the Charlotte Area - list and map, plus pro tips!

Bin Stores are popping up all over the Charlotte area. Bargain hunters with a sense of adventure love them because sometimes you can find really incredible deals. It’s an adventure because…sometimes you don’t!

Most bin stores sell overstocks and returns from big box stores like Amazon, Walmart and Target. All items are mixed up in bins, and shoppers dig through them, looking for steals.

In general, the way it works is that all items are priced the same. At most stores (look for one exception below) on the day the bins are restocked, the price per items is highest (around $8-$12) and then each subsequent day of the week, the price goes down. So on restocking day, you’re most likely to come home with incredible finds. And on the last day before restocking you’ll find the lowest prices, in some cases, under $1.

In most cases, items are not returnable, so make sure to inspect carefully. Conversely, if the item is in a sealed box, you might not be permitted to open it.

Pro Tips for Shopping at Bin Stores

Know when items are restocked
Get there early
Bring gloves (it can be dusty digging through bins)
Wear a face mask (for the same reason — it gets dusty)
Scan the whole bin, not just the top layer
Use your phone to check the retail value of items
Wear comfortable clothes, especially shoes
Inspect items carefully — there can be missing parts and rarely are items returnable
Set a budget — event at $8 an item, prices can add up!
Follow the store’s social media — sometimes they post sneak peeks of new inventory
