Big Lots

A man named Keith was so helpful with everyone and assisting my mother and I ! Very kind and informative with the products we needed that day and walked out feeling great because of his help!

Like the large selection of different items and the variety of many thinks and even non perishables too

I’ve always been so-​so on this place, for a few reasons. One of which is that they never have enough people on register, so if you manage to catch it at the wrong time, you’ll end up being stuck in line for at least 10 minutes. The other reason, is that the prices on some items aren’t exactly amazing, and are usually just a little bit off the «normal» sticker price of that particular item, often times fairly close to the expiration date.
I know, they’re a liquidator. That means I should expect to see shelves stocked with failed products, nearly expired sodas, and other stuff that didn’t quite make it. I’m OK with this, and sometimes I’ll find a good deal here. Other times, and more often than not, I’ll pick up a food item and just think, «Eh, I can get the same thing or similar next door at Aldi’s for half the price». Maybe I’m just a tightwad.
The furniture is actually fairly well priced, and I’ve often considered buying a bedframe here, since my current one is pretty much just a mattress on a cart. I can never get myself to pull the trigger on it though, mostly because the selection for beds never changes — it’s always the same gaudy sleigh beds and old lady four post styles.
In all, Big Lots is alright. They have a huge selection of food, toiletries, health shakes and furniture, all at (usually) pretty decent prices. I wish the furniture selection would change more often, and most of the food items are pretty well priced. Food items are often cheaper next door at Aldi, but then again, you won’t be getting the name brands or selection there — not a huge deal for me, but I know plenty of people who put great importance on branding. I mostly use this place for household items like cleaners, containers, light bulbs, etc.
