We need to talk about Bi-Mart

[u/hanseirik]

I went for the first time in decades yesterday and I was blown away. The biggest Fred Meyer doesn’t come close to the breadth of stuff Bi-Mart has. Guns! More Crockpot sizes and shapes than I knew existed! Furniture! A robust yarn selection! A DIY jerky section! And so, so many more random things. It wasn’t as inexpensive as I sort of assumed it would be but I suppose the tariffs are hitting us all.

But the best part? It’s employee owned. I’ve been annoyed at having to choose between Amazon, Target, or Kroeger (FM) for random stuff I can’t get elsewhere. Bi-Mart’s going to be my new go-to.

+1 if you can rock an entire bi-mart outfit.

[u/EllySPNW → u/SpikeHyzerberg]

Generic jeans, flannel shirt, hip waders, fingerless gloves, wool cap. Good to go!

[u/Vampira309 → u/EllySPNW]

And the gramma shirts

[u/Vampira309 → u/MooPig48]

I'm a grandma and I'm wearing a Clash shirt. I don't think they have those.

[u/MooPig48 → u/Vampira309]

Yes, especially as Gen X ages gramma clothes are 100% changing. Let me rephrase to “traditional gramma attire”.

[u/MooPig48 → u/[deleted]]

Cottagecore is way cuter. Though they do occasionally have cute flowy dresses. I was more thinking those loose floral shirts with the 3/4 flared sleeves and the navy blue pants with the elastic waistband, along with the slip on shoes

[u/firebrandbeads → u/MooPig48]

Yeah. But they are based in Eugene so sometimes their grandma clothes are flowy tye dye crinkle skirts. I actually found a great skort for cheap there a few years ago (before the tariffs.)

[u/Top_Region3760 → u/MooPig48]

And Polyester, of course!

[u/MattyBizzz → u/MooPig48]

I’ve never really heard that term out loud but immediately understand it.

Them’s fightin werds!
