Bargaintown is an unincorporated community located within Egg Harbor Township, in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States.[2][3] The Egg Harbor Township municipal building is located in Bargaintown, about 0.25 mi (0.40 km) east of the Garden State Parkway.

Bargaintown was laid out by a property developer who hoped the value would increase quickly, but when it did not, he sold the lots cheaply. The community has since been called Bargaintown.[4]

The area is serviced by the Bargaintown Volunteer Fire Company #2 which has two stations located in the community. Station 1 is located at 6550 Mill Road and Station 2 is located at 1 Tony "Mink" Pagano Drive.
