If you need to buy basic stuff for the house on the cheap, you’ll like this place.
When I needed to buy blinds for my new apartment, my superintendent suggested to come here. I am happy I followed his suggestion: three 1″ louvered decorative blinds for less than $ 20. Classy they are not, nor are they aesthetically pleasing in any way[1], but $ 20 is ¹⁄₃ of the cost of a single blind of the same size at Home Depot!
What I like of this place is that what you see is what you get: I got a $ 5 pan that looked flimsy, and it is actually flimsy and probably worth just $ 6. On another occasion, however, I got a Korkmaz[2] cast-​iron pan for $ 16.99 which is actually wonderful: the heavy bounded capsule bottom, cooks very uniformly and allows me to keep the fire very low. I love it!
You will also find random stuff like detergents, glue, doormats[3], batteries, toothbrushes and toothpaste, rope, even clothes, all at rock bottom prices.
