One person's return is another's bargain, or so the saying goes. People have various reasons why they would return products to Amazon, but where exactly do those go? According to a few reports, some of those returns unfortunately go to landfills.
However, there are other more entrepreneurial individuals at Amazon Return Stores who buy these returned products and sell them at cheaper prices. More than that, they don't only sell return items from Amazon, but also Target, Home Depot, and Walmart.
A simple Google search will give you the location of the nearest Amazon return store to your place. You may try other search terms as well such as Amazon liquidation store, Amazon bin store, and Amazon salvage store. You can also try searching on Facebook.
Depending on your local store's policy, they might give away the products from $1 to $12, just like the Bargain Bins store that Kyle James found. Since these are return items, products may be defective but typically, they will still be in decent condition.
