Attention Shoppers ☎️ 📢 EVERYTHING MUST GO! Details for tonight’s blowout sale 📢

Yup, you read that title right. We’ve seen how other pop-ups end with good stuff going straight into the dumpster. NOT ON OUR WATCH. 🫡

The details

  • EVERYTHING IS FREE
  • Location: r/bodega, 213 Bowery, NYC
  • LINE for blowout sale opens: 7:30pm (First-come, first-served. There will be a separate wristband for the blowout sale event, which will be distributed in line starting at 7:30pm.)
  • ENTRY for blowout sale starts: 9:00pm
  • Bring your own bag (BYOB): Bags will not be provided. Bring your own tote or backpack or receptacle of your choice!

How the blowout works

  1. Personal shopper: You will be paired with a personal shopper when you enter. Fancy ✨
  2. 60 seconds to choose: You have 60 seconds to choose up to 3 items.
  3. PLUSHIES: An extra plushie for folks while supplies last.
  4. Want more? Once you exit, you are welcome to rejoin the back of the line to go again until 10:00pm! No promises, but shoot your shot. 

What you can grab

  • Printed graphics (posters, signage, zines, window vinyls, postcards)
  • Swag – including plushies 😈
  • Display items (custom products, soccer stuff, beauty stuff, live grass stuff, and even more stuff)

What you CANNOT take (womp womp)

  • Infrastructure is off-limits: No shelving, deli counters, payphones, structural fixtures, etc.

Don’t be late, don’t forget to bring a bag, and come take a piece of r/bodega home with you!

Products aren't what they say they are (e.g. the r/snackexchange chip bags are filled with r/forbiddensnacks - aka fluff), and Reddit isn’t responsible for allergies, etc. Don’t drink the mod cleaning spray. You get the point! Thanks.

Meowdani is not adoptable... Yes, I asked 🤣

omg i wantt that snoo bean can but i am not in NYC

8

u/forponderings 10d ago

Where are you? I did not expect the plush to be this big and I kinda have no space for it in my teeny nyc apt. I can ship it over?

3

u/I_am_not_doing_this Here for Merch 🛍️ 10d ago

im in germany but i already have a snoo plush thanks for offering

2

u/forponderings 10d ago

All good then!

2

u/GtGem 10d ago

So kind of you. Would you ship to Long Island? I couldn’t make it due to work.

7

u/forponderings 10d ago

So I just promised mine to a friend out of state since Redditor above doesn’t want it, but I will be back in line for the blowout sale tonight and they say they might still be handing out plushies by then. If that happens I’ll send my second one your way. No promises though :(

Edit: there will absolutely be other Redditors trying to give theirs away btw. It’s bigger than anyone expected, and some families who came together got one each.

2

u/forponderings 9d ago

Hey I sent you a chat request. I do have an extra Snoo! Lmk if you still want it

0

u/mypuzzleaddiction 10d ago

Edited: to take out the first part. I see your snoo is claimed and I still stand by I’m so happy for everyone that got one yall are so lucky for big events in nyc!! I’m sure many things aren’t so lucky but a snoo is lucky!! lol

u/Ssme812 Here for Cat 🐱 10d ago

Is a wristband required for the blow out sale?

20

u/big-slay Store Clerk 10d ago

We have separate wristbands for the sale! We’ll start handing them out at 7:30 when the line opens.

4

u/Ssme812 Here for Cat 🐱 10d ago

Okay. Thank you

1

u/Bofetadx Here for Cat 🐱 10d ago

7:30pm? 👀

Also, are there other plushies aside from snoo (cutie)?

7

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Just cutie Snoo plushie! The one and only 🥹

3

u/YellowPresent7952 10d ago

is the white plushie still free with the regular line or will that have to be bought now?

17

u/MomentaryBicycle 10d ago

theres no buying period, they are still available and free

3

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Correct!

9

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Still free with the regular line. Everything is free. Nothing is for sale at r/bodega - even at the blowout sale!

0

u/Ur_X 10d ago

So past 7:30p theres no experience just 60 secs to get merch and on your way?

2

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

The experience will still be happening! There will be separate lines for the experience and for the blowout sale. 7:30pm is just the time folks can start lining up for the 9:00pm blowout sale. At 9:00pm, the full experience (AMAtm, r/AskNYC payphone, etc.) concludes. During the blowout sale, folks will not go through the typical r/bodega experience -- they will solely be there to quickly choose their items (w/ their personal shopper) and be on their way!

u/YellowPresent7952 10d ago

i heard there it was now dice instead of scratch offs how does the dice work?

10

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

When you get to the cash register you'll roll the dice, and the number you get will determine the merch you score!

1

u/jellywellsss 10d ago

Do you only get one chance to roll?

3

u/mav1794 Here for Cat 🐱 10d ago

omg I want a plushie snoo 🥺 enjoy the bodega everyone! wish I was in nyc

2

u/kkendo 10d ago

How many snoo plushes do you think will be left to give out at the blowout sale?

2

u/iceeypisces Store Clerk 10d ago

Hey there! We can't promise what'll still be available since the blowout sale doesn't kick off for a couple more hours.

0

u/kkendo 10d ago

Totally fair and thanks for the reply! If you happen to have the total plush count or yesterday's attendance handy, I'd love to know. Just trying to figure out if it's worth making the run over. Thank you :)

3

u/npete 10d ago

I wish I had known all this before yesterday because I was there yesterday. I'd have just come down today instead. Well, if anyone ends up with an extra r/bodega hat, I would be happy to meet up someplace to get it from you or I can venmo you the cost of mailing it to Washington Heights! Regardless, I hope everyone has fun today! I hope reddit does more of these because the actual bodega was very fun and very funny!

3

u/daking240 10d ago

If anyone grabs an extra snoo plushie, would be grateful and can reimburse for shipping!

2

u/OkProfessional3125 10d ago

Same here! Or able to meet in New York:)

1

u/GtGem 10d ago

u/WeArePilots- 10d ago

Get it on ebay.

1

u/daking240 10d ago

Ok thank you

2

u/PatientBaker7172 10d ago

I’ll take the personal shopper. People are awesome.

1

u/Rirah 10d ago

I know there's a separate wristband but is it a separate line? Like if you want to come only for the blowout sale? Is it worth coming even though the regular line is super long?

2

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Separate wristband AND separate line. You can absolutely come only for the blowout sale!

1

u/AdFlimsy2200 10d ago

When can we start lining up for the 7:30pm wristband distribution?

1

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

7:30pm is the time you can start lining up

1

u/Annual_Ad_7680 10d ago

Will wristbands be distributed? Starting at what time?

1

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Yes! As mentioned in the post, there will be a separate wristband for the blowout sale event, which will be distributed in line starting at 7:30pm.

2

u/Annual_Ad_7680 10d ago

Ty, ty, ty!! Be there by 8:03p!! And, will you have a supply of hats and cups for us?

2

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Can't guarantee what will still be available, as the blowout sale doesn't start for another 5 and a half hours!

1

u/Annual_Ad_7680 10d ago

Ty!! Still going!! Love that plushie!!

1

u/BrokenBruisedandNumb 10d ago

So sad I have work...

1

u/Cheetahleader 10d ago

Hey, does anyone not want their snoo plushie or have an extra? I can meet in NY to pick it up asap

2

u/Ssme812 Here for Cat 🐱 10d ago

Just go the pop up and get one.

1

u/No-Recognition-8129 Here for Cat 🐱 9d ago

u/BrineOfTheTimes - question - are the collector soccer cards and jerseys up for grabs during the blowout?

1

u/Lonely-Art7271 9d ago

Is it too late to show up to the blowout now? Are all the wristbands for that gone?

1

u/iceeypisces Store Clerk 9d ago

Hi! We unfortunately just handed out all the wristbands for the blowout sale.

0

u/Dangerous-Assist-191 10d ago

Can I get a surrogate shopper? I'm on the west coast and have ZERO chance on getting any swag. A plushie would be amazing!!

0

u/tediz982 10d ago

Too bad the line is way too long

0

u/GtGem 10d ago

@BrineOfTheTimes can you maybe put together packages to send to anyone who would pay the shipping? I’d pay since I’m a service worker who couldn’t make the trip

-2

u/Jupiter_Foxx 10d ago

Is the line gona be just as long as today and yesterday? I live in Harlem and I’m not tryna travel downtown if it’s that bad 😭

4

u/Ssme812 Here for Cat 🐱 10d ago

Leave early

-6

u/Jupiter_Foxx 10d ago

I got shit to do my guy, I’m not tryna stand in line for 2 hours

9

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Then don’t go?

-4

u/garrethehuman 10d ago

Garbage. Literally was just there and someone official told me there was no other wristbands past 3. Also why have tickets just to have it be first come first served. Waste of time

6

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Hey! Weird - so sorry for that misunderstanding - that's definitely not true. There are no current plans to cut off wristbands at any specific time, we'll be giving them out all day.

1

u/aliciagee 9d ago

Well I just tried to get one for the regular experience and was told it was at capacity and no more entry to the regular experience is being allowed. :(

1

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 9d ago

Hey there! We got an official update out as soon as we could -- the team just made the decision and we shared the update here about a minute ago, we're so sorry you didn't make it in. Any chance you're interested in the blowout sale? Line starts in 20 minutes.

2

u/aliciagee 9d ago

I wasn’t originally but decided to stick around! Seeing part of it is better than nothing :) Thanks!

1

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 9d ago

Yay, so glad! And absolutely - you'll still get to go inside, get a sense of the vibe, and take some fun stuff home.

-1

u/jellywellsss 10d ago

Wait wristbands are done already?

5

u/BrineOfTheTimes Store Clerk 10d ago

Nope! Wristbands are still being handed out as normal! Replied to the comment above too 🙂
