Dirt Cheap 146 Wildwood Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35209

"Me and my buddy were down here for work and saw the sign "Dirt Cheap" and thought that's gotta be a pretty cool spot so let's check it out..but let me tell you..nothing in this store is "Dirt Cheap". The prices are convoluted and we were over charged for what was a clearly marked price. The store was in shambles, almost all items were broken or out of the packaging. We came across an area that was completely marked off with caution tape just because there was a broken item on the ground that could have easily been swept up. Very disorganized and not a pleasant shopping experience. Will not be visiting this store again, it was a major disappointment. Employees were friendly and that's the only nice thing I have to say about this establishment. It should honestly be shut down, I don't think anyone should have to endure the dissatisfaction of shopping here. 10/10 will never shop here again."

"I love this place. I hate this place. When we're in the area, we always stop. Always dig out some great deals. Tends to be one of the better organized dirt cheaps. Tonight was probably my worst experience there. Same items were under 40 & 50% off sections. Online scanner wouldn't work. Took item to front for price check, but then when we checked out it was higher than price check. Manager, I assumed, claims prices are what they ring up regardless of signage. For example. Signs all over store said "all toys 80%." Apparently, there were unlisted exclusions cause they weren't. Always make them tell you price of each item as you go since there's no returns. It's great if you have time & patience."

"I had an awful experience being looked down on for shopping while I was having a nervous breakdown trying to check out and get my card to work. I have a mental and physical candy cap and one manager in particular with the boss man behind him wants to act like they don't want to help their customers. We purchased over $600 and were supposed to get a piece of furniture or 2."

"Visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. I’ll admit that maybe I’m missing a key element of the concept, but I don’t understand how folks effectively shop here or how the company makes a profit. Huge store. Maybe 1-2 dozen shoppers while I was there. I went up & down at least half the rows. Only 1 area I would describe as reasonably neat & organized. Most aisles ranged from messy to complete disaster areas. Best I could tell, the pricing system was a combination of a “market price” sticker on the item + a nearby sign indicating how much of a discount to apply. The problem: many areas were so chaotic that I couldn’t determine how much to discount the sticker price. Apparently I wasn’t the only one — I overheard a father say to his child upon seeing the sticker price on a toy, “That’s not Dirt Cheap, that’s Dirt Expensive!”"

"Yes the prices are cheap but you have to literally be willing to shop in an absolute mess. The only thing that has some organization is the clothing. Honestly I would rather pay more money to have my shopping experienced organized. I guess if you like spending hours treasure hunting this is for you. By no means will you find what you need quickly here. Every shelf looks like those pictured."
