LYNNWOOD — Shoppers looking for big bargains and an exciting experience are invited to Cheaper by the Day’s grand re-opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony today as the popular Lynnwood bin store unveils its major expansion into CBTD 2.0 Marketplace.
The high-energy event begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 18, at the store’s location, 19800 44th Ave (former Grocery Outlet location). W. What started as a 5,500-square-foot bin store has grown into a 21,000-square-foot destination known as “The Vault,” promising lower prices, more inventory and a completely new shopping adventure.
“The Vault is opening — and it’s finally here,” owner Seaun Richards says. “Customers watched it being built. Now it’s time to experience it.”
Richards opened the original Cheaper by the Day in 2020. The business has become known for turning shopping into a treasure hunt where the best deals go fast and inventory changes constantly.
CBTD 2.0 Marketplace blends two core experiences: fast-paced bin shopping and a vibrant vendor marketplace.
“This isn’t just a store anymore — it’s a marketplace,” Richards said.
Shoppers will hunt through constantly changing bins filled with overstock, returns and clearance items from major retailers including Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Costco and Office Depot. Prices reset daily at 10 a.m. and drop throughout the week, rewarding early birds and those who return often.
The new marketplace area features curated vendors, collectibles, unique finds, mystery boxes, crates and pallets in a lively flea-market atmosphere.
Grand opening day highlights include:
- A festive ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m.
- The first 20 customers will receive mystery envelopes.
- Multiple 60-second shopping spree giveaways.
- The “Keys to the Vault” hidden high-value prize experience.
- Opportunities to enter to win a 65-inch smart TV and a $250 shopping spree.
- Free food and drinks for attendees.
Throughout opening week, the store plans in having daily giveaways and prize drawings, premium bin drops at 2 p.m. featuring higher-value items, and end-of-day bundle discounts — any three items for an extra 5% off and any five items for an extra 10% off.
Shoppers are encouraged to arrive early, move quickly and return often during opening week to take full advantage of the deals and special experiences.
