bargain bins
Cheap goods receptacles
Bargain bins are containers in stores where discounted merchandise is dumped for customers to sort through.
The items are typically marked down because they're discontinued, damaged, overstocked, or out of season.
The bin format—often large, open boxes—encourages rummaging and impulse buying: I found this sweater in the bargain bin for five dollars.
Figuratively, something consigned to the bargain bin has been devalued or abandoned.
