I can ABSOLUTELY confirm the bring cash tip! I once spent 3 hours digging through the bins and almost wasn't able to buy my finds because the card machines were down...Luckily, one of the employees helped me out to hold it while I went to the ATM...
I appreciate IKEA bags are inexpensive however to save your back and alleviate the need for a cart by purchasing a Hulken bag. They glide effortlessly and fit beneath bins. This approach also ensures no theft from left carts. These are also great for processing and around the house activities
OK! I've been lusting after one of those - I've more been interested in it for schlepping packages to the post office, but I never much thought about actually bringing it to the bins...I wonder if my locations that don't like carts would allow one!.. GREAT to know about the easy gliding - I've been so interested to hear a real-life review on one - thank you!!!
My first trip to the bins, first table, first 10 minutes I found Veori men's lounge pants. I had never heard of the brand. Just felt how wonderful it was, and looked it up. Sold within two days for $45. I have never found Veori at the bins since.

Oh noooooooo! At least you had a friendly worker that hooked you up - that could have gone way, way worse!
Thanks Julia. You are the best. I am going for the first time this week. I will keep you posted on how I do. Have a Happy 4th. Susie
Oh good luck!!!!! I hope you have a SUPER successful trip! Stay cool and hydrated! Happy 4th!
Thanks Julia for the great info, I wish I would have had this knowledge before going to the bins the first time. So helpful for the bins newbies
I feel like we ALL wish we had someone giving us a heads up instead of jumping straight into the fire! Hopefully it helps some first timers!
I don’t tolerate heat well and since the bins get very hot - I have started wearing one of those a/c fans that go around the neck. Total gamechanger!!
GENIUS! I've been in some locations where the heat was just unbearable, and one of those would be a life saver!

Well, what a way to start! More Vuori will find its way to you - I'm SURE of it!
