Big Lots

Big Lots is one of my favorite discount stores. In general, I like their prices and variety better than Job Lot, but much prefer Job Lot’s locations. Unfortunately, Big Lots hasn’t made it to my area yet, and Job Lot is dominantly the discount store throughout the area with 2 stores. Nevertheless, here Big Lots is competing with Benny’s right across the street, possibly one of the reasons that is one of the best Big Lots locations I’ve ever shopped.
The Raynham location may not have much curb appeal from the outside and looks more like a run-​down shack, but in reality, it has a better selection than most of the other Big Lots, and seems to always have a huge clearance section, filled with great stuff at better-​than-​expected prices (even for clearance!). The store is on the larger side, with a good variety of everything from home to electronics to seasonal to food to cleaning and to everything in between. Store isn’t too busy and has a large parking lot (park carefully though… carts are always flying through the lot), and staff are normally present around the store and keep the lines to a minimum. Good discount store for the area, make sure to check out Benny’s as well… they are both great.

what do you need for the house?
ok. shut your face. big lots has it. for cheap.
the best description i can give is a mix of ocean state job lot and marshall’s with a dash of sears and a pinch of stop & shop thrown in. so, if you need under-​bed storage containers, a bed to put them under, food for your dog or cat, litter or plastic bags to collect the. .. uh. .. leftovers, carpets, vacuum cleaners ($ 40???), curtains for the shower or the windows ($ 5 — $ 10), or just want to stock up on a bunch of stacker II energy drinks, stop in.
this location just opened. it’s clean, bright, well organized, big — but not huge, and the staff is friendly and helpful. mostly name brand stuff, which i found impressive. but they have their fair share of «sorny» and «magnetbox» brands as well.
the nitty gritty: on the taunton/​raynham line, so if you’re here you drove. worth the trip from the boston area? 40 minutes at high speed? no. worth a stop in if you happen to be in the area? sure. you’ll probably buy something to buy. i did (disposable vinyl gloves — don’t ask).
