Bintime makes it easy! New merchandise is added to the bins inside the warehouse on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, everything in the warehouse is just $7. On Sunday, it is $5. On Monday, everything is just $3, and then on Tuesday, everything is just $2. Wednesday is $1 per item.
Bintime is appropriately named. Everything that's for sale is stocked into the wooden bins and visitors peruse them at their leisure. Only a little more than 400 customers are allowed into the store at a time, due to a fire code, so you can expect to stand in line outside on Saturday and Sunday. So far, Monday and Tuesday crowds haven't created lines outside.
While you spend time digging for bargains, keep in mind that the treasures you find might not be here tomorrow. So you'll probably want to buy it today.
There are a few rules you have to follow if you want to shop at Bintime: First, you can't open any boxes to see what the merchandise looks like. Once you get to the register, you can ask an employee to open the box. But the easiest way to avoid standing in line for something you don't want is to simply download a bar scanner to your phone and then scan the code to learn more about the item inside the box.
Next, you can't set items aside somewhere in the store; stockpiling items is no-go. There are no carts or buggies. Bintime gives everyone a huge 19-gallon IKEA shopping bag. Once that bag is full, you'll need to head to the register and pay. If you want to keep shopping, just take your paid merchandise to your car and return the store; unless there's a line outside. In that case, you'll have to get back in line.
Is it worth it? Some repeat customers admit to driving as far as 2.5 hours each way just to shop at Bintime. It's easy to see why. The deals are phenomenal. These YETI ramblers are currently listed on Amazon at $34.99 each so $5 is a huge bargain!
This is one instance where following the Facebook page doles out a wealth of information. Every Thursday, Bintime posts photos of some of the new arrivals that will fill the bins on Saturday. If that's not enough... every week they give away a VIP pass that lets the lucky winner skip to the front of the line when they arrive!
If you’ve been looking for bargains, you’ve just hit paydirt! Each Bintime location is open five days per week: Saturday through Wednesday. For more information, including the hours of operation, follow the official Facebook page of Bintime. (Note: There are two Bintime locations in South Carolina: one in Mauldin and one in Anderson!)
