Bi-Mart

Bi Mart is OK, the sale prices are pretty good, but the selection has gone way down. They used to have a very nice office/​school supply selection, both sides of an isle, now its just a tiny portion of an isle about the size of an end cap in the electronics department.
I went in today looking specifically for a few things, none of which they carry anymore.
One thing I was looking for is a plastic organizer of three stacking drawer bins. My daughter picked one up at a different Bi Mart so I know they sold them at one time. This one doesn’t sell them. Another is a 4 color pen with bright pastels. I’ve bought several here before, but they no longer carry them. Also Some flea meds for the cats, but they only have flea collars or random generic stuff, no Advantage or Frontline. They do have a large selection of wine. I don’t know if any of it is good, since it’s of no use to me. And they have some cheap clothes, but still spendy for the price vs. quality. I thought I could at least save time and pick up the few grocery/​household items I needed even if they were a little more expensive, but they had nothing on my list at all.
I bought some chewable vitamins that said «compare to» the national brand I usually buy, but they are not at all comparable. They are terrible. I found some canned goods to stock up on at OK prices, more expensive than where I usually shop but it saved me a trip to the other store so I got them here.
The clearance tables didn’t have any good buys, in fact the clearance items were priced higher than regular prices at Fred Meyer.
The selection of Easter treats was good, and a few items were on sale, but most of the prices were too high. I will go back after Easter in hopes of finding discounts.
The service was good, no one was at the entry counter when I went in, but one person in the store asked if I needed help and the cashier was friendly. I remember that they used to have a contest where you could check your member number and maybe win a prize, and that’s the main reason I chose this store today, but there wasn’t any mention of this anywhere near the entry or exit, which really disappointed me since I had read about it in the coupon book in the mail and had seen several signs about it throughout the store. I specifically looked for this area after I was done shopping and someone noticed so they took my cart to put away for me. I wasn’t going to keep looking for it while carrying my heavy bag of purchases so I left.
I still like Bi Mart and love the coupon book I get in the mail. I will continue to shop here, but I’ll stick to what’s on sale, and probably will go to a different store.

Totally awesome folks here! Keep up the great work! U always make my day when i come in!!!

Excellent staff if you just ask them what you need. Quality products. Can check ads online. Membership is lifetime and worth it!

I joined when they were giving away a package of toilet paper that’s worth $ 5 which made the membership worth it — you say bargain, I’m there.
That was several years ago and I must say, I go to Bi-​Mart maybe twice a year when I do see some GREAT deal, otherwise, I’m really not tempted and here’s why:
— the price: unless it’s on a sale, the stuff I’d buy are not really a good deal compared to, say, Target.
— the ambiance: well, what ambiance, i should say. The vibe of the store is uh it just feels very outdated… it’s as if I’m in the middle of nowhere where the ladies still perm their bangs and spray on a bottle of hair spray to make the bangs stand up as high as their shoulder pads that have never felt the 80’s come and gone…
— employees: more aloof and minimally courteous than friendly. Thought to myself I got a friendlier treatment from Walmart employees. Now that is saying a lot.

If ever a store had a fan club of hardcore shoppers it would be Bi-​Mart. Ask around: you’re either a card carrying member or you’ve never heard of the place. Us members carry our green cards with pride and are quick to spot others who do the same.
Bi-​Mart is the place to go for day to day household and yard supplies. Their spring season garden starts are always on sale and generally half or a quarter of the price found anywhere else.

Bi-​Mart is a northwest based company. It really is like a general store of old. A bit of everything, but not a lot of selection. Some items are a bit on the cheap side on quality, others are a pretty good deal. It can be hit or miss, but it is nice to support an organization that is locally based.

Went in to look at some rifles, and the lady behind the counter seamed like she didn’t really want to help because it was near closing time. Anyway, I wanted to purchase a rifle and she said it takes 30mins to do the paper work and do a bg check. It was like 5:30ish so I just walked out. Maybe cause I wasn’t white? I dunno, but I’ll stick with the Aloha Store…

Sort of like the tent in Harry Potter’s Goblet of Fire movie… it is a smallish store that almost always seems to have just what oddity I went in looking for.
Out Christmas tree stand died suddenly when trying to get it to hold up this year’s tree… every place was sold out and I need to get one that night because the tree was already in the house. Not only did they have one… they had three style for me to choose from in a variety of sizes.
I picked up some stocking stuffers while there, too.

Contrary to what its name may lead you to believe, those who have a definite gender preference for their sexual partners may still shop at Bi-​Mart. Apparently it has nothing to do with that at all. Just «clever» spelling.
Bi-​Mart is not high-​class by any stretch of the imagination. But if you’re looking for dish towels, hair curlers, an iron, pots and pans, or something along those lines, well, you might want to hit Bi-​Mart. You have to be a member, but it’s $ 5 for a lifetime membership. I think they may also sell food, but I’ve generally stuck to the housewares section. You can wander around and look at the deals, probably for hours. They do have some great bargains. But, you know, it’s also sort of creepy.
