Turned a corner on the Value Bin's new layout

I honestly wrote off that place last year as a cluttered mess where you had to dig forever. Went in last Saturday because my usual spot was closed and they totally redid the back half with proper shelves and bright lights. Now things are sorted into actual categories and I found a perfect condition Patagonia fleece hanging with the jackets. It completely opened my eyes and I'm making it a regular stop again.

Your sorted stores point shows a pattern where neatness uncovers hidden gems.

I scored a nearly new Carhartt beanie there last month, same vibe.

Honestly that's a sweet find, Carhartt stuff lasts forever. Was it hanging with other work gear or did you have to dig through a random bin to spot it? Just curious how they're sorting things now.

Ever walk into a place after they fixed it up and just feel like you won the lottery? My local hardware store did that last spring, clearing out the junk aisles. Suddenly I could find what I needed without wasting an hour. Picked up a solid wrench set that was just sitting there in plain sight. Makes you wonder why all stores don't keep things sorted, right? Good on Value Bin for getting it together and bringing people back.
