I used to go to the Veggie Bin years ago when I first moved to Charleston, then it started to smell like rotting produce, and lots of the stuff was bad, so I stopped going. I recently heard that it reopened, and I'd forgotten it existed!
Yesterday, I made the trip over. Despite the reviews raving about it, I was not impressed. It will be interesting to see what they have during other parts of the season, but the only thing that seemed like a good deal were the peaches, which I could have gotten at the same price from the Pig a few blocks from my home.
The greens were mostly wilted, and much of the items seemed very overpriced to me. I will say that the people were very friendly, but there were tons of bugs, and it was rather dirty inside. I will go back to see what they have later in the summer, but so far--not impressed. Rather disappointed, especially since most of the reviews here made it sound very different from what I experienced.
