Bi-Mart

I love this store been coming here for 20 years. Has almost everything you’d want at awesome prices. Had an experience today with a cashier. They’re normally nice but this gal was extremely rude. Was having an issue with the credit card machine, apparently I hit a wrong button, she had the nerve to sigh in my face and say «now I need to call for another checker because your holding up the line» then turned away and said «I wish people could figure out this machine it’s not that hard» all in all after re sliding my card I added about 20 seconds to the process. I didn’t catch her name… not like it matters.

Great every day prices. Be careful when you buy candy– check the date, it’s always expired!

Filthy deal: good price on dirt.
Okay. They have more for sale than just dirt.
They have a weird selection of food items.
They have shovels & hoes & paper towels & bed throws
They have pools in the summer & tools and fake fire log stoves.
It’s reminds me of old school everything stores in Alaska (home) — they had a little bit of everything PLUS a sporting goods section. CHECK!
All in all, their membership card system is so antiquated it’s ridiculous, but they are nice & good place to shop. I joined a few years ago because I needed dirt and didn’t want to drive out to the country and so, I bought a $ 5 lifetime membership (Take that Costco!) and the rest is history.

I love Bi Mart. I love the old people that shop here, their staff is friendly & helpful and the prices can’t be beat.
Even if it’s not on sale, their prices are generally cheaper than a Walgreen’s, Fred Meyer, or Rite Aid. I love that they are locally owned and operated.
I hate to shop, but I like supporting Bi Marts throughout Oregon.

I’m a fisherman and this place can’t be beat for cheap tackle. Minimally I am here every year for an angling license renewal and I usually find some reason to stop here a couple of times before camping. The pricing is so good that I also pace the isles in search of deals and have walked away with clothing, gardening, and home appliances in the past.
The membership aspect is a bit of a joke, but that’s fine with me considering the value.

Always a solid 4 stars. Their prices are consistently lower than the competition’s, and I know the store layout pretty much wherever I go. Sure, they don’t have *every* type of item I might be looking for, and they usually don’t carry the high-​end brands. But if you realize this going into a Bi-​Mart, you rarely leave disappointed… in fact my usual thought is «I can’t believe I got this stuff that cheap!»

Bi-​Mart you are always there with just the things I need. After the demise of G. I. Joes, yes I know they dropped the G. I. but I could never move on past that. This is one of the few stores that I can find that carries the kind of stuff you need. Yes, maybe Fred Meyer has wiper blades but Bi-​Mart has always been there for me.
Our relationship started early as my parents when we lived in Eugene relied on the Eugene store for all kinds of supplies. Primarily camping supplies but a little of everything is carried in these stores.
When I was 20 years old I went to work for the Bi-​Mart store in Bend. It was only Christmas seasonal but I never will forget the $ 5 cash Christmas bonus for a months worth of work. My first and only Christmas bonus. It was kind of cool. However, I digress.
In my quest to pick up some last minute Christmas items and winter preparedness items this place always fits the bill. This store always has the stuff you are looking for and often can’t find in other stores.
My membership card cost $ 2 when I purchased it in the 1980’s but it still works just fine. It’s paper so I no longer carry it just a picture on it on my smart phone but it’s all good.
I’ll be back as they always have something I need.

Bi-​Mart is a membership store, but membership is cheap and lifetime. (It’s $ 5 for a lifetime membership as I write this. It’s been $ 5 since I got my membership card in high school. And no, I’m not admitting how long ago that was, but suffice to say it’s been a while.)
They have a decent selection of goods, much less food-​oriented and more «the rest of the department store» — and the prices are good. Music, electronics, appliances, dishes, household goods and day-​to-​day stuff, some food (but this is not their main focus), some clothes (ditto), a pharmacy, school supplies… all that stuff.
And yesterday they actually had the type of wastebasket I was looking for, which puts them above the other two stores I tried to find it in. It’s not like it was an exotic one, I just wanted a small one that wasn’t a frou-​frou bath thing that cost $ 25. Plain white was FINE.

I honestly have no excuse for why I don’t come here more often. After all it’s right next to H-​Mart where we seem to be spending a lot of time lately.
The coolest thing about this place is when I have given up looking for something random, I ALWAYS find it here. Random accessories for Halloween costumes after we have scoured Goodwill? Check! Canned oysters that taste decent and don’t cost $ 10 a can? Check! Easter candy that isn’t $ 6 a bag. Check!
Great prices made even better if you follow their ads. Good prices on hardware and outdoor gear. Friendly, helpful employees. Not a full grocery store (there’s one next door), but if you are looking for a bargain, it’s worth checking out.
