Yelp.com Review - by Lolia S.

3.0 of 5 stars. R.I.P. Bargain Bank and thank you for the fond memories. BB was at its height during the dot com bubble bursting years. My favorite liquidation involved beauty e-tailer, Eve.com. Back in those…

Yelp.com Review - by Chris C.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place is worth it just for the $14.99 bottle of Remy Martin Cognac you'll fine. Also found $8 bottles of Calvados. A lot of the stuff is crap, but I've found a lot of decent food items as well…

4.0 of 5 stars. Update: This location will be closing at the end of this month (7/07). The location on Polk will remain open. I always go to Bargain Bank when I'm in the area. One thing about this place is that you…

Yelp.com Review - by Autumn K.

5.0 of 5 stars. What is there to say? Strange, off-brand items in flavor combinations NO ONE is interested in trying (think sesame-ranch pasta sauce), hence their presence at The Bargain Bank. If you like bizarre…

Yelp.com Review - by Drue C.

4.0 of 5 stars. Are you cheap? Do you like discount variety stores? I do! This place is an adventure that won't cost you more than $10 and will keep you entertained for hours. Do you have a craving for the flavors of…

Yelp.com Review - by wendy h.

3.0 of 5 stars. Yup the Bargain Bank is really hit or miss. Inventory rolls over very fast here. I always stayed away from the food (the expiration dates are very telling) but we've found some neat toys here. We…

Yelp.com Review - by Sammy S.

2.0 of 5 stars. bargain bank tip #52: do not buy a case of their 99 cent bottles of wine before tasting Besides the wine, its a great place to buy cheap beer, last christmas' candy, and flat screen tv's.

1.0 of 5 stars. I regret that I did not check yelp before stopping in. I bought chocolate and coffee - no expiration dates were given for either item. Brought home both, opened them, and found them to be very…

4.0 of 5 stars. I specifically shopped at Bargain Bank for wine for my family's Thanksgiving meal, and I loaded up on starter (Zinfandel), entree (White Bourdeaux), and dessert (Moscato) wines for $24. The wines were…

Yelp.com Review - by Susan K.

5.0 of 5 stars. Best store ever. one hint: do not ever get chocolate as it is often old and expired. Good place to get olive oils, cookies, hot sauce, soups, canned goods, sauces, dressings, sweets. No wine.

Yelp.com Review - by Zannie A.

4.0 of 5 stars. You can get lots of good deals on lots of things here. You can also get home only to realize the mayonaise is already expired. Mostly, I like it for the wine. Even the wine is hit-and-miss, but the…

Yelp.com Review - by Gil S.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'll never forget my first bargain bank visit. Petfish was highly ADD, and also a wine expert, so this was a playground for her. They've got at least a hundred different wines, all ridiculously cheap,…

Yelp.com Review - by Takeshi A.

4.0 of 5 stars. Everything in here is so incredibly cheap. It's kind of luck of the draw, though; you never know what they'll have. Chances are, they'll always have cheap shampoo, soap, and other bath products (under…

4.0 of 5 stars. If you haven't been to BB take the time and check it out. They have the most amazing $2.99 Red wines and $1.99 White wines in the City. The store isn't organized all that well and the inventory…
