The Bachman's warehouse sale is back. The last Bachman's warehouse sale was in 2005. The garden and gifts retailer replaced it with Lemons & Leftovers departments in most of its larger stores. The latest twist, called the Lemons & Leftovers warehouse sale, will feature current merchandise including containers, pots, gift and home items, vintage pieces and selected live plants. Special purchase items brought in for the sale include patio furniture, holiday wrap, ribbon and women's scarves.

The sale starts at noon Thursday (July 28) and continues during regular store hours through Sunday in the nursery (6010 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls., 612-861-7600), but you can get in three hours early with a pass to members of the eClub.
