If you don't mind doing a little digging for a good deal, consider a bin store this holiday shopping season.
Why it matters: Everything seems to be getting more expensive, but bin stores are gaining popularity by selling returned items for a fraction of their retail price.
The latest: The nationwide craze is catching on locally, with another store, Retail Rush, recently opening in Northland.
- The modest spot inside a former Big Lots is anchored by online auctions, and its website says this is the first of more planned locations.
