Review from Kenny M.
This place is insane! Really cheap stuff! a lot of crap of course, but thats the whole point!
When you walk in the smell instantly hits you. That deep, cheap funky flea market smell! It certainly has a flea market feel to. What drew me hear was this little ad I read for a 9 dollar amp they were selling! but of course I ended up with a bunch of other little odds and ends (like foam tape, heavy duty batteries, zip ties and I don't even remember what else! just crap hahaha)
So a lot of different items you can find here, everything from disposable sheet pans to a whole row of toy helicopters and samurai swords, posters and wall hangings, overalls and 2 dollar sledge hammers??? hahaha ! I mean the sky is the limit! Really going to a place like this kind of feels like going on a treasure hunt!
The dvd section had a good amount of variety but it was a completely random collection of movies and dvd tv box sets! I found a couple of gems and got that feeling like I found the treasure amidst the sea of crap! It was a good feeling!
Their is a section in store which also has these giant "turkish" rugs for sale, as I walked by I thought to myself "whoa! 29 dollar rug! man i gotta come back and get that someday!" hahaha. Not the nicest looking rug...
I guess the real value of these kind of places is the that feeling that you get when find something that you would never expect to find and for cheap! Its a treasure hunt! But also useful for other odds and ends to. I will be back again for sure! Certainly a good place to wander around (though the smell is a little off putting) Come check it!Listed in: Get it and get it cheap!

Bianca Amore's kind of reminds me of the days of going to garage sales, without the awkwardness of sifting through things that still belong to somebody else, and bartering for that last quarter.
The cement floors, bare walls and no-frills warehouse style decor definitely don't give you a Walmart feel, which is appropriate because you won't be finding the latest in electronics, designer lable clothing and brand name food products within these walls. What you WILL find is a lot of really cool little things that will draw a lot of curious glances and "Where did you get THAT?" comments.
Serving as kind of the unknown little sister to Liquidation World, Bianca's plays up exactly what it is by cutting every possible frill and selling the most impractical, "you would never need this in a million years, but it's really cool to have" type stuff. Sure, there are practical things too (albeit not the best quality ones, after all, you get what you pay for) but the real fun of this place is the framed posters of long forgotten movies or musicians, the etched crystal Ninja Turtles figurines, the strange gardening impliments that you imagine must have had an 'As Seen On TV' sticker on them back in the 1980's... hell, they even have a wall covered with swords. Yes, swords.
There are more conventional things too like no name stationary and tools, to DVD bins that hide a few forgotten and unknown gems in a sea of Steven Segall cast offs, that make the dig half the fun.
This isn't the sort of place I'd go with a shopping list and expect to just 'grab a couple things and go' like I would at a place like Walmart, but I always tell my friends if you're down to about 10 bucks and want a fun way to spend an afternoon, head down to Bianca's. You can kill a couple hours just browsing through the huge warehouse of marked down... everything... and maybe find something cool in the process.
But whatever you do... take the time to enjoy the hunt!!!
