Walmart has recently introduced a black version of their shopping bin! Its the same kind of bin as Walmart’s blue one (an InStore Corp Greenbox®) just in a different colour. This is the first black Greenbox® I’ve found. I don’t think InStore has made a black version of their bins before. Regardless, it’s nice to … Read More
I was at Walmart this week at noticed a big change to their bin display: That change being the price.

Based on what I saw they are identical to the older Walmart bins the company used to sell before 2019 when they mysteriously disappeared. Same shade … Read More
I took a trip to Brampton today and I got a new bin! This time a purple one from Chalo! FreshCo. If you’ve never heard of Chalo! FreshCo, it’s like FreshCo but with an extended product line, featuring items targeted towards the South Asian community. There aren’t many Chalo!
