    This place is amazing.  There's definitely something for everyone.  House, kitchen, bathroom, random stuff. Wow.

    My sister almost bought the entire family christmas gifts here.  

    Coming from the US full of The Container Store and Bed Bath and Beyond, this place is like cheap awesome heaven.

    I couldn't possibly love/stock/praise this store more than I already do.

    You may not actually need anything in here, but you will covet everything. Every possible practical kitchen, bathroom or storage gadget you can think of, they'll have, and it's useful and well-priced.

    A few weeks ago they expanded into the space next door (which I believe used to be a women's clothing store) and it now houses floor to ceiling totes and storage bins in every shape, colour, size and lid type. I contemplated some sturdy black plastic storage bins as well as locking attached lid transparent bins ($12 each) before seeing two display model plastic buckets on liquidation for $4 apiece that were the perfect size for a few 2-4s of beer on ice. Another day, another sweet score from my beloved Binz.

    It's still a trap, but after coming back here, I realized that the stuff is a bit over priced compared to Kitchen Stuff Plus.  But it's hard to resist all the little goodies you can find here.

    It's one of those places you have to think real hard: do I really need this? Is there an alternative? Case in point: the garlic saver. I'm going to pay $3 because it looks like a garlic?! So many examples of this.

    They've since expanded to the other side, and filling it with..... wait for it.... BINS! Big ones, small ones... etc.

    But for me, I'll go to kitchen stuff plus instead these days.

    Things that rule in general:
    * Lock & Lock containers
    * Other containers
    * Variations of a closet shoe rack
    * Lil (yes, "lil") scoops for $1
    * Pluralizing nouns with a "z" instead of an "s"

    Lock & Lock Containers
    These uber reliable containers make Tupperware® look like a sandwich bag. As an added bonus, they are CONSTANTLY on sale at BINZ. Constantly.

    Other containers
    This place is filled to the brim with all sorts of bins and containers to help you organize your home. For a good price too!

    Variations of a closet shoe rack
    I own many shoes. This place helps me organize my disturbing fetish.

    Lil (yes, "lil") scoops for $1
    Sadly, not the Milka Lil Scoops chocolate eggs from Germany. What will I use these scoops for? Anything: from cat food to sugar to slurping my soup up, I'm there! Just, ya know, use a different scoop for different tasks... that's just common sense. Also, I was kidding about the soup. Don't be silly.

    Pluralizing nouns with a "z" instead of an "s"
    Don't overdo this or you'll come off as some illiterate douche but for this store, it's acceptable.

    Binz Binz Binz! I have decided that when I move, I'm signing my life away to Binz! This store rocks my world.  This store has everything from bins, laundry hampers, to dog/cat bowls, and vegetable peelers.  

    I found a toothbrush cleaner which just looked cool. But for a hefty $50, I'll just replace my toothbrush every 3 months, thank you very much! There were some really neat items, such as electric cord cleaner-upper. They are stackable discs that you wrap electrically cords around. If you have a computer and all the gadgets that come along with one, then most likely you could use such a device.

    They had some other really neat inventions such as an invisible towel holder. And an invisible book holder. I can't even do justice in my explanation.. Just check out this store.
