Bin stores are taking over the area, drawing crowds hunting for rock-bottom deals on everything from clothes to electronics.<\/p>\n

Inside stores like Black Friday Deals, shoppers swarm giant tables of random goods and grab what they can before it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

Bin stores buy pallets of returned merchandise from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target.<\/p>\n

The goods get dumped into bins and sold at flat prices, no matter what the item is.<\/p>\n

At Black Friday Deals, there are 120 bins across the store.<\/p>\n
