Inside: Learn our favorite tips and tricks for shopping at dirt cheap, what to expect, and when to buy.

If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve probably come to find that Stephanie and I are certifiably obsessed with Dirt Cheap.

If you aren’t familiar, Dirt Cheap is a regional discount chain that sells returned, salvaged, online returns, or overstocked items from local and big box stores (read: Target and Home Depot!) at a deeply discounted price. What kind of stuff, you ask? Everything. Literally everything.

Like what, you ask?

How about a Vitamix for $97?

A Bob Stroller for $46?

A Sharper Image weighted blanket for $35?

Bumble & Bumble shampoo for $3 a bottle?

A 48 inch range hood for $200?

Designer clothes for pennies?

Dirt Cheap, y’all. It’s my go-to spot for just about everything. But here’s the thing: shopping at Dirt Cheap is both an art and a science. We’re here to tell you the best way to do it.

1.) Manage Your Expectations.

Dirt Cheap can be a little… overwhelming. It definitely depends on location, but some of them can be unorganized, messy, and sometimes gross. I recommend bringing plenty of Purell, low expectations, and patience. It’s a war zone in there, and there’s a reason for its name— “dirt” and “cheap.”

2.) Go by yourself, or with someone who is as excited as you are.

On the note of “patience,” I’d recommend going by yourself, or with someone you won’t want to kill when you’re elbow deep in kids’ sneakers looking for the right size. That said, it’s helpful to have someone to tag-team with.
