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. read more

None of these places actually exist. I attempted to get a few of them, and there was nothing at either address. No bother looking for them never find them. read more

While attempting to gain Yelps 'Happy Hour Power' badge, I stopped in to 'Bargains In A Box' prior to an Aldi visit. I was lost upon entering, so I asked a employee a silly question about how everything works. I assumed that you received a box upon entering, and filled it up with items inside the the store; paying the total amount of how many items you have in your box. Haha, sounds so much fun, but I was totally wrong! The employee laughed, but it took me a short trip around the store to get a feel of how it works. The bargains are in a box! And there are many bargains inside of boxes in this store! There ya go, but I only wish that I would keep a list inside of my car of things that I need because I wasn't expecting on seeing so many bargains. The main items that attracted me where the cleaning supplies, toilet paper - 24 rolls for $5, 'Red Copper' cooking pots & pans, and the World Wrestling Entertainment action figures, which 'Bargains In A Box' had a huge selection of toys! If you have ever been to a Dollar General + been to a mall and seen a store called 'As Seen On Tv' then you may have a slight feel of 'Bargains In A Box' because that's pretty much the type of items you will find inside of this store. I will not break my neck to return, but I'm quite positive that I will return whenever I'm in the area at Aldi, and in need of certain items that can be purchased at this store. Thomas G read more

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. read more

This place is the epitome of random... Target or Costco objects on shelves mixed in with Industrial shipping boxes packed with Dollar Store clutter. Do you need a quality double decker handled pan to transport cake, pie, cupcakes, treats or deviled eggs to a party? Not going to lie to you- this is useful. (Cleaning products and laundry detergent cheap!) $1.00 dishwashing soap is never bad to stock up on. A massive case of delicious Kind bars for $10? I bought that. Boyfriend has already eaten a third of them so they must be delicious. Salon shampoo in a pump bottle for $3? Yup. $1.00 containers for lunches. $5.00 for the biggest multipack pack of gel pens ever. There are some totally wonky, broken and even scary thrown in: Toxic insecticide next to pet goods, unsanitary open unsealed and sometimes resealed (with tape) boxes of tampons, mugs with gross A&E reality show catchphrases best left to fad oblivion, some leaking globs of sticky mystery substances- could be soap, personal hygiene product or household cleaner... how creative can you get? Don't answer. Eww. Don't buy those! The employees are very nice. They make every effort to pick up the mess, help navigate even the most busted goods. This is no small feat. The piles are overwhelming and make very little sense. Do I love this place? Not really. I tolerate it and it does indeed have some bargains. You just can't expect routine: Such as exactly the same item for the same deal repeatedly. Best to go in broadly looking for a general item such as shampoo or hand soap and maybe walk out buying a frying pan too. read more

I used love shopping here but this one incident they couldn't resolve for me stopped me from shopping here. I bought a electric two seater recliner less then a year ago. The motor went out on of the seats. They ONLY have a 30 day warranty for everything in the store after that your out of luck. They didn't want to help me at all. Very frustrating for a customer who has been shopping there for years read more

Bargains in a Box - Chicago - Discount Store Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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 read more

Do not buy any Electronics from Bargains in a box. They sell defective store returns from costco and other stores. They only allow 30 days to return. There is no support for the products so you are gambling with the purchase of most products they sell. My box was sealed and when I finally got to installing it months later it was used and non functioning and they refused to accommodate for the faulty product they sold. read more

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. read more
