Bargains In A Box

$ 10 and under stuff
I fined good baking stuff
A wallet
I be back to try the cleaning goods
And it’s lot of dust a lot

Here’s another location of «Bargains in a Box.» This one is located on the corner of Chicago and Kedzie (within the strip mall) in West Humboldt Park.
This one is larger than the one on Central Ave. Traveling on the plane anytime soon? Buy your travel-​size toothpaste for $ 0.50! I scored a
3-​pack Dial brand soap for $ 2, one (1) ladle for $ 1, two (2) travel-​size Aquafresh brand toothpastes for $ 1, and one (1) Colgate brand toothbrush for $ 1.
BIAB, to me, is more than a retail outlet. It’s literally a retail «dumpster.» You will find apparel from Cos*co or from a designer brand; you will find Rice Krispies that are going to expire in a couple of months; you will a varieties of everyday essentials, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, nail polish remover, and detergent. By the way, this list isn’t, at all, exhaustive.
I’m gonna end my review in a style of «Lord’s Prayer.»
Our cheap finds in Bargains in A Box,
hallowed be your prices,
your warehouse come,
your savings be done,
on the Windy City, as the 10.25% sales tax wouldn’t matter,
Give us incredible deals to out-​compete other retailers,
and forgive our government for being incompetent,
And lead us not into over-​spending,
but free us from places that charge too much for the same items.

I was SOOO excited to check out this bargain spot after seeing it on 190N… well let me tell you… its not worth it.
Its in a strip mall so there is a parking lot which is nice.
The store itself is DISGUSTING! There is dust and dirt all over everything. Also, the deals are not that great. They have soap, shampoos, etc for like $ 2 – 5, however, you can usually find these things in a much cleaner environment and for the same price. Also, most of the bottles were opened and stuff running down the sides… not to mention the layer of dust on the bottle like mashed potatoes covered in gravy.
It wasnt that good of a deal… and believe me, I love a good deal.
There was a ton of crap in the back… all of which looked like a garage sale that had been going on for about 2 years. There was about 2 inches of dust on most of the stuff. There were a couple of flat screen TV’s, however, I think you could get a similar price at a Walmart. There was some food items… mainly things like hamburger helper type items for about $ 1−2…not a good deal.
Yes, you drag around a box with a rope for your ‘cart.’ I would be fine with this, but the store is just gross… the best deal I found was a pack of 12 Kleenex boxes for $ 10.99. Not worth the hassle to drive out here.
The staff was very inattentive, talking on the phone while I was waiting to check out… MEH is right…
Skip it, go to other deal places… this place is NOT worth a commute. I guess if you are in the area… go and check it out BUT dont expect to win the lotto with the ‘deals’ here. I will not be back. I slathered hand sanitizer all over myself when I got to my car. YUCK

I went to this store today and I have to say that if you have a lot of patience to go through boxes and mess you’ll be in heaven and will find some great deals. I got a couple of bargains worth mentioning… A black Tumi suitcase still in a sealed box, a 27″ with a retail price of $ 395, got it for $ 80-​the manager was on site today and gave me a $ 30 discount. Great bargain even without the discount. I also got disposible plates for $ 1, Dial Body Wash (24 oz) $ 3, Annies Organic Fruit Snacks 24 pack, retail is $ 24, got the box for $ 4. Most of the stuff they sell is name brand, including toys and electronics.
If you are bothered by a sketchy area don’t waste your time otherwise you might want to pay this place a visit.

Really. They have Bargains in a Box here. AND your «shopping cart» is a box with a long piece of yellow cord in it that you can drag around the store. Kinda like a pet box.
Located in a rather large strip mall, Bargains in a Box is easy to miss. I discovered it after leaving CJs Beauty Supply, where I get all my hair care needs, en route to Aldi a few doors down. I thought I was walking into Aldi but it was actually BIB.
I decided to check it out anyway and was really amazed at all the name brand bargains they have loaded up in huge cardboard boxes. Caress body wash that usually sells for $ 7 at Target is $ 5 here, cleaning products, snacks, ziplock bags, plasticware, etc… They use a color coding system so you match up the sticker on the item with the color coding key on the wall and that’s how much you pay. I don’t think there’s anything that costs over $ 10 except for the small selection of electronics they have in the back of the store.
I’ve been able to stock up on a lot of household items here for a lot less than I would pay at Target or even Wal Mart. The downside is that this particular area is VERY ghetto. Be prepared for someone to try to sell you bootleg CDs and DVDs; some drunk dude telling you that it must be about to rain because you got all that thunda; a group of teenagers almost running you over in their grandfather’s 1986 Delta 88; and of course, seeing all kinds of colorful hair weave.
