Bin Stores in Kansas

"The people are really nice but it doesn't feel like a bin store to me. Alot of the items are pulled over to the bargain corner leaving the chance of a really good buy like must bin store slim. Example at other bin store even if you are at the back of the line on restock day you have a good chance of finding a 100+ item for 15. Here I feel like anything that may be worth overr a 100 dollars it has already been pulled before they open the doors for the bargain corner."

"We love going to the Bin store in Ark City! Staff are very friendly, helpful, it is very well maintained, have got some really nice items there!"

"I look forward to seeing and having the opportunity to purchase items that are worth much more than Ark City Din Bin asks for them. I go multiple times a week and always leave with something that I need or love. I love this place."

"Check the price on the retail side. I showed them an exact item, same brand and model number on ebay. Ebay price $89.95. Their price $100. They had the retail at $565. When asked about it I was told they don't look for the lowest retail price for comparison. Disappointed."

"Absolutely Disgusted — This Place Has Gone Downhill I walked in expecting a business. What I got felt more like a hoarder’s garage sale. I remember when this place first opened — it was clean, organized, and actually worth browsing. Today? It was a mess. Bins overflowing with what looked like literal trash. Nothing was arranged in a way that made sense. I get that bin stores aren’t perfect, but this was beyond chaotic — it was borderline unsanitary. The atmosphere was depressing the moment I stepped inside. Half the building was dimly lit, and the lights they did have..."

"Love this store! Lots of great deals. Update store has gone down hill along with the owner/employees attitude. Stopped going in soo much after over hearing what he thought about some people and not knowing how his attitude would be. Have learned to not ask questions. Quality of bin items aren't what they used to be. Doesnt update social media like the other bin shopin stores. The low bins are also terrible especially for older adults. Don't ask to use the bathroom either"

"Very dirty and disorganized. The guy at the register was having a very explicit conversation with a female customer. Unprofessional and uncomfortable. This place is not worth a visit."

"Miss the way Black Friday felt? Come here Saturday morning when they open. Better get here 2 hours early to get a good spot in line."

"Make sure you scan the items like on target or online.. sometimes it seems like a great deal, and it can be. But I almost paid double for some as simple as a candle because of the day I went. Same candle was still at target for half the price!"

"Be very careful of what you buy, I bought a lamp, that lamp was broken, went back to exchange it for a different lamp and what was in the box was completely different than what was supposed to be in the box!! Don’t recommend buying anything big or expensive, you never know what you’re gonna get. Or atleast always check the boxes before you leave."

"I love this place, My wife and I go there all the time, we find great stuff for the grand kids, very good deals, if you ever in town please check it out."

"This place is awesome! So many great deals if you go on the right day and look carefully."

"I go to this location frequently and spend a reasonable amount of money here. , on more than one occasion I have seen the same Caucasian young lady with bad acne /scarring and curly hair being rude to guests in store & being condescending and yelling. Well today I guess it was my turn. I walked into the outlet side of the store with a canvas tote bag on, I and passed several employees and did my shopping (around 30 minutes) I make my way up to the counter to pay when the said young lady approaches me at the..."

"SHADY PRACTICES!!! UPDATE: after leaving this review, it looks like they actually tried to do something. However, despite the message I received from customer service confirming the item/invoice number, they decided to process a refund for a different item at a different location and the item is less than half of what my actual refund should be. It seems now they are flat out trying to steal money from me. When I arrived to pick up an item I won at auction, store employees said they could not locate the item and that I would be refunded in 4-5 days...."

"Usually love this place. My family comes all the time because we love the deals and its fun to look for kids things. There are always children items. But recently not sure what's happened. Rude staff. Items are being torn out of the boxes and then your being told you can't buy them in the boxes unless it's labeled. Ive heard staff talking about how badly they cant wait until they get off at the checkout because they hate the place so much. All the way to some staff acting like your trying to steal everything when you go to..."

"My experience at this place is horrible lately there have been some problems with the security lady who works there. I understand her job is to keep people safe or the place in check. She came up to me and my sibling and told me shes watching everything she said that's something she tells people who look suspicious. Please help me understand how me shopping and talking with my family makes me look suspicious? She also for some reason loves to follow kids around and remind then to get to there parents I understand that cause that's one of there..."

"I go in the store every time they change the price just to see what they have new today. I bought a soap dispenser electric brought it home and it did not work. I wish they would take returns. It was only $4.99 but still that’s money that I spent For something that doesn’t work. A couple weeks ago I bought a hand pump soap brought it home, filled it up a soap, and it didn’t work and it was on$2.99 Day So now that I have two soap dispensers that doesn’t work I could’ve went out and bought a..."

"So this place is okay however....they are not like your other typical discount bin places. Most of these types of places put everything in the bins to sell at that days prices but they pull out the bigger items and price them way higher and place them up on shelves. Come on guys. That's not the way its suppose to work!"

"Love this store and go about 3-5 times a month. My daughter visits from out of state and she prefers it to the ones in Aurora and Denver. I usually find something I was thinking about getting or find a great deal."

"Bargain hunters are looking in bins full of stuff to dig through.. Sorry, not for me.. Waste of time. Junk and returned items, incomplete and no warranty.. But CHEAP"

"Most recent town hall very informative. Customer experience heavily emphasized, yet at the Olathe location- message not received and it starts at the top (the manager). I’ve been participating in the auctions (all locations, multiple times a week since November). I have spent time, energy, and thousands. Yes, I could go get my own pallet through another seller and not mess with the auctions at all, but I do enjoy bidding and getting to know the community. All of the locations (except Olathe), have been consistently kind, courteous, and attentive with my large 20+ orders and occasional returns (multiple times..."

"I love this place so much! You're always going to find an awesome bargain no matter which day you go. As a single mum to 4 kids ( 3 between ages of 14 and 18) a dog, a cat, a lizard and multiple fish tanks, I'm always trying to save money where I can. Before I found this place I used to do tons of thrift store shopping. Multiple store-more gas- tons of time... but now I've found its5 and have gotten so much more! I've been to my store maybe 6 or 7 times and have really gotten great..."

"Retail Rebel: A Shadow of Its Former Self Retail Rebel in Kansas City has undergone a significant transformation, leaving bargain hunters disappointed. Once a treasure trove of hidden gems, the store has morphed into a less enticing shopping experience. The digging side, once filled with promising potential, now offers a curated selection lacking the thrill of the hunt. Valuable items are conspicuously absent, having been diverted to the retail side. Unfortunately, this side has also deteriorated. The once impressive electronics section has been drastically reduced, with higher-end products being sold elsewhere. While the retail side still offers some appealing items,..."

"Let’s just say, they don’t have a customer service team that you can contact by phone, the reason is they don’t have to follow any set company guidelines or regulations, they don’t have any, so every Auction location makes up their own rules, I have sent multiple requests to get them to list what their policies are for the definition on what: New with tags Open No box Slightly used Used “Damaged” If you read the inspection information at the end of each auction, The interpretation changes per employee. Refunds get screwed up, and no return Communication, so I reach..."

"I've came into the store almost every single day and time of the week and I can confidently give this place a solid 4 Stars. There are things that need improved on that would bump it up to 5. Positives: The staff are friendly and will allow you to not only open every item you find to inspect for damages, but also test it if its electronic to make sure it works. The stuff you find there assuming it works and is in good condition, is a major deal. You can save so much money shopping here. Negatives: It's a..."

"Not the best experience twice. As a mom of multiples this store isn’t accepting of the fact that I can only push one cart at a time. Beware they will make you get your child out of the cart basket if you have more than one young child. Also if your child steps on the bottom of the bin to look in when they are too short the employees will be right there to tell them to get off. I’ve been in 3 times throughout the last year and a half. The staff always follows me around as if I’m..."

"Awful the old man kept trying to say I stole then he’d find whatever he thought I took, and he be my bad. kept yelling at me telling me I needed to be 21 and go put it down, wouldn’t stop staring at me pointing at me, I got so annoyed I just bought my stuff and left."

"They were very rude I will never go there again I'll just go to Joplin I have never been talked to like that I was so embarrassed I can't believe they are aloud to treat customers the way they do they are awful"

"Me and a buddy went to the Friday opening just for fun, to see if there was anything good after the restock. We waited in line for probably 10-15 minutes with some others outside in the cold. The worker unlocked the door right at 8am and the small group waiting outside with us all calmy walked in. We noticed though there were already a couple of women with full carts finishing up their look through the bins and heading up towards the register as the group entered. Workers letting their friends or maybe other workers in early on restock day..."

"I am very upset about how the Manager is treating some of the Hispanic Customers. I just feel this need to have change. They need to have a good phone number on there websites of the owners because Clearly, she’s Abusing her, right! She has no right to take things away from Customers hands. Just because somebody said something that doesn’t always mean It’s true before going to approach the person she needs to verify that that information is correct before chewing somebody out in public. I really encourage the owner to have cameras, because like I said, no one..."

"I love shopping at Discount Bins in Salina! It’s like a treasure hunt every time I visit. You never know what amazing deals you’ll find! The prices are unbeatable and I’ve snagged so many great items for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store is always organized enough to make browsing easy. It’s perfect for budget-friendly shopping without compromising on quality. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for hidden gems and bargains!"

"I would like to express how pleased I am with the manager and employees at this store. They are friendly and always treat everyone kind and with respect. I like going to this store because of the manager and employees. Everyone has a fair chance of getting what you want. If you have questions or concerns the manager listens -- treats you as a customer like you matter and doesn't react to incidents without doing her research, the manager does not act without investigating the situation. The manager is one of the best I have ever seen-- fair, respectful, caring..."

"Very good store full of many different things all the time but I don't like the price of the clothes or the sizes of them."

"Everything is so cheap and good"

"Love that you can find most anything you could ever think about wanting here and at a discounted price. Just be sure when you are looking at getting the discounted food you look at the expiration dates seeing as they can be quite outdated. They do take EBT cards as in food stamp card for food items which is neat I think considering it is already discounted. Also the family owned business has several different locations in neighboring towns that contain different items and some larger and expanding more than others.i especially like the McPherson location and the South Hutchinson..."

"Update 4/8/25: taking off a star due to two things: 1. Recent interactions with an unkind staff member and 2. Their operating hours aren't always consistent. There have been times I have driven from out of town and they closed before they said they were going to and that's pretty frustrating. Original review: I visit Treasure Trove (formerly Simply Good Overstocks) often. It's a fun place to spend some time and find great deals. The owner is great to work with and the staff are nice. Their Facebook is updated nearly daily with live videos that show you an overview..."

"It's ok. I've been twice and I guess it depends on when you go what you'll see. It felt kinda like a goodwill or something when I went. Just digging through random stuff in no real order, quite overwhelming for me, but I'm sure some love it. I was told to go there to look for a vacuum and I didn't see one, but figured I'd ask just in case. The girl was like... 🤷🏻‍♀️ and that was that. Didn't bother to check or or ask someone else or tell me where to look or anything. Just looked at me..."

"Over time there has been a shift in merchandise that they carry. Now known as Treasure Trove Discount. Merchandise is extra stuff from big box stores and warehouses. It really depends on the day you go for what is available and what price it'll be. Usually I visit there over a lunch break to just check what's there. I've bought nice home decor from Target, holiday items, clothes, ski bibs and occasionally food items. They have alot of small furniture items that aren't priced to bad. Thursday is usually the cheapest bin sale day. Check out their Facebook page for..."

"This is not a bin store!"

"I arrived just after close one Wednesday (nbd, my mistake) and saw the big hairy guy (the manager?) smoking a freaking cigarette inside like it's the 70s again!!! (Gross right!?) Ok cool. Definitely looks bad to potential customers peeping in, but whatever. I look past it and return the following week with my kids. THERE'S NO AC (in july) AND I SWEAR THE CIG SMELL SINGED MY NOSE HAIRS. I'm dripping in sweat by the end of our adventure (only stayed 10min) and my older child needed their inhaler as soon as we got to the car. To make things..."

"Best days to go are Fri-Tues...but as someone said, they did raise the prices a few days...plus the outside signage on the north side of the building still has the old, lower prices so it is misleading to an extent. The entrance which is on the west side of old kmart building has the current more expensive prices. Tried it on more expensive days and the cheap days. Great deal either way if you are lucky. Only loses a few stars for the girl at the 'customer service'/unboxing station was RUDE, air conditioning might not be working in the summer,..."

"At 1st this place was my drug of choice I was addicted to the fabulous prices and the pure surprise of the unknown boxes and treasures you could find. But as time went on boxes got smaller and everything had been open at some point before they sold it, things were being split up and sold separately, things thrown all over and trash makes it hard to find missing parts to whatever your trying to buy, also when you did find something you thought was a great deal you get it home an it's USED !LIKE DIRTY USED!!They don't bother..."

"Yet another bins store. Two things I don't like, approximately two people working here speak English and they charge a 3% penalty for using a debit or credit card to pay. Thus I will not be a frequent shopper here. Overall it's another new bins store that will be hot for about a year until the novelty wears off. The 3% penalty is a real deal breaker for me as I cannot plan a purchase at a bin store; budgeting an amount of cash and then not spending it means a trip back to the bank to redeposit the cash...."

"Great store with great prices they have tools and home goods."

"Don’t get your hopes up on good finds— I went on $10 day with my baby and there was a stroller next to the wood bins along with other items that were labeled $10.. (not near the table with more expensive labeled items). Get to checkout and they changed the price on us and told us $30 and that they hadn’t had time to label it. (But they had time to hang out behind the counter with no customers on their phone) Pretty disappointed, if you’re a business, items should either be labeled with a price if they’re not included..."

"They do have some great items. Its hit or miss. I do like that at this Bin Store opposed to the others, they have items priced lower than their highest price days. So its reasonable. The staff is very welcoming and friendly."

"THIS is NoT a bin store like you know, it's a high Dollar Retail bin store. THEY don't follow their 1dollar,3dollar ads on the store front. She goes thru the mystery boxes they get and take out all the higher dollar items and replace with unsold junk re-tapes them and sells them as Amazon Mystery boxes. . This store is a scam when it comes to Bin stores.. Bin stores were created to give us all bargains not make us pay retail.. Think of this place like a higher dollar thrift but full of junk.."

"Wednesday is their “$1” day, according to anything they have posted or displayed. I figured there would be very little left, and maybe a few items at a higher price point. I did not expect that id be unable to find anything but a basket of cheap phone cases for the price advertised for everything in the store. Honestly don’t even see how it’s legal."

"The bin store in Winfield really is not very good, seems like it is always cluttered, boxes and packages are always open and have been gone through, items with missing parts, people disregard the rules, throw stuff around, the staff does not seem to care, we even found a small kitchen appliance that was used as a demonstration model, it did not have a electrical cord,was not usable! And yet there it was for someone to buy and not be able to use it! Be very careful, make sure you look it over very well, make sure everything is there,..."

"Where do I begin? This store has good things at times, and then other times it's not so great. However, what is always fantastic is seeing the really nice staff! Very personable, kind, and willing to help you with any questions you may have! One thing I must do a PSA....IF you need a box OPENED, go ASK someone! It's simple. People complain endlessly about items all over, trash and missing pieces. Well, that would cease of people would STOP opening things in the bins! Also, the new Manager is a rock star as well as the staff! Go see..."

"I had only been to one bin store before today, and while I did find some things to buy, it's never going to be my fav shopping experience anywhere, just too messy by nature. The girl at checkout was quite nice and helpful, got us signed up for a discount program. There were some interesting items, but it's exhausting to dig through all that junky clutter. Needs a good cleaning, and owners, people were seen rolling items up in rugs, so as to get them free..."

"I went there Saturday and bought a coffee maker that looked new in the box. I opened the box and coffee grounds went everywhere so not wasn’t new they just put it back in the box with the package to make it look new. I turned the coffee pot on to clean it and it doesn’t even work. What a waste of $10. I won’t be back. I could have went to a thrift shop and found it cheaper if it wasn’t going to work."
