Bargain bin

Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 14 days ago

A bargain bin refers to an assorted selection of merchandise, particularly clothing, tools and optical discs, which have been discounted in price. Reasons for the discount can range from the closure of a production company to a steep decline in an item's popularity in the aftermath of a fad or scandal. Another reason for the discount can be the particular product line being discontinued. The origin of the term comes from the fact such items would be found in an isolated bin rather than on store shelves.
