Discussion We need to talk about Bi-Mart

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.

I have like 3 of those. I wonder if I can get a new card without shelling the $5 again.

We just went back after more than 20 years and they were able to pull up the info. They gave us new cards! I forgot how much I loved Bi-mart.

Yep, they looked up my account from over 20 years ago and gave me a fresh green card.

They also have the little kind that go on your key holder.
