Cost Plus World Market

Always stop by and purchase thing or two, would give 5 stars but, out of stock on some items for weeks at a time sometimes. Like there online email notification, ordered online and shipped to my door.

I went here specifically to look for Christmas decorations. They used to have great decorations. Now they are all big and gaudy and huge. We were really disappointed overall. There isn’t too many things I’d buy at this place. Ten to fifteen years ago it used to be a great store, but it has changed so much that I hardly go anymore. I guess it depends on what you are going there for.

A good selection of beer and wine along with an assortment of random foods from around the globe. I pretty much stick to food items, but I have purchased some dinnerware and some other household goods and the quality has been good. I am not a huge fan of shopping, but it is a fun store to wander around in and check out all the different products that are offered. The prices are good and I seem to get a few decent coupons from time to time, so that is always a plus.

This is the first one I have ever been to and I wasn’t disappointed. I got some very cute items! I could have spent a lot more money here! Will totally come Back! The staff was very nice as well!

My wife and I have shopped at Cost plus for years. We get a lot of our stuff we use for parties there. From wine glasses; dishes to silverware and some cookware. Decent enough quality and cheap enough if it breaks I am not going to sweat it. I also have bought wine there as well as some furniture. So we have spent a decent amount of money over the years there.
I get e-​mails from them all the time and today was no different. Today only was up to 50% off BBQ and outdoor cookware. One of the ads was for a Lodge cast iron griddle pan for 50% off. Sweet! So we drive down to the Clackamas store to pick it up.
We get there and they are out of stock. The young lady helping me was nice enough so I asked if I can order one? Nope. She offers to check another store so I said sure but then she informs me if I go tomorrow it will be up to the Store Manager of the location that has it «if they feel like» giving me today’s price tomorrow. Keep in mind it is now 7:30 in the evening. I ask the young lady ok how about I just give you my credit card and whichever store has the item in stock can ring it up and I will pick it up tomorrow? Nope. Can’t do that either as they can’t do anything over the phone!
So the result of this exercise in futility is I leave after putting other items I was going to purchase back and not purchasing anything frustrated with Cost Plus having policies in place to basically refuse my money.
With today’s economy you would think businesses would make it easier for customers to buy. Nope not Cost Plus!

I cannot say enough good things about World Market. We always find something to pine over no matter what location we go to, and at every location we find the service to be friendly and helpful.

Cost Plus Market is my favorite place to get gifts, wines/​beers, unique snacks, foreign groceries, and housewares. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. They have stuff that would appeal to all your friends and family members. Toys for your nieces and nephews, ethnic jewelry for your traveling aunt, new comfy pillows for grandma and grandpa, a nice gift basket full of her favorite teas and mugs for your mom, wine for the boss, plate sets or cooking utensils for the housewarming, and even candles for random people on your list. Plus I always find something for myself. This is also a great place to find a spice or snack that you missed while you lived or traveled in another country. Popular ethnic foods are here!
Bonus: signing up for their free membership allows you to save some money.

Normally I endeavor to avoid chans, but Cost Plus World Market has been a sturdy go-​to spot for things like dishes, furniture (our dining table), and various sundry household items. The items they stock tend to have an international flair, and while some of it is el-​cheapo, there are plenty of great finds here. Our dining room table, some shelves, and some of our flatware comes from here. Simple but good stuff.
If you know your wines well you can find some decent weekday sippers here for solid prices. There’s plenty of chaff in the wine selection too, though, so shop with a keen eye.
This location is definitely in Clackamas, but it’s close to the freeway and parking us much easier than the downtown location. Since I live on the east side, it’s more convenient for me too.

Fun shopping experience!
–Many unusual treasures to discover in every department.

–if I won the lottery I’d spend a bunch here

LOVE LOVE LOVE Cost Plus! It feels so fun in here and satsfies my need for a little culture. Love the furniture, foods, decorations, staff.

Great place to go for novelty pieces. Things your not quite sure where to get them! Great place to pick up items to make a gift basket or two.

Despite things feeling cheap inside, I still like this place. Especially their selection of foreign candies and food. Their prices are reasonable, if not on the cheaper side as well — so you won’t break the bank shopping here. They also have weird knick-​knack items throughout the store, not found anywhere else. The whole place is international themed… so you won’t find local stuff… thus the name World Market, lol.

This is my first vist, so I am giving only 3 stars. Im impressed with all of the spices and condiments. They are half as expensive as Safeway. Many bargains in the food isles. The furniture is at the same level as Pier 1, but not as much. My kids enjoyed looking at the candy. My family will be back because of the assortment of candy. The beer prices are about as competitive as grocery stores. Good experience.

It wouldn’t be the holidays without a visit (or three) to Cost Plus. This is my favorite go-​to store for presents, décor and killer after Christmas sales.
This place is a gold mine…
** Chocolate coins for the kids’ stockings
** Coffee (illy as well as a ton of choices from around the world)
** Beer — seasonal gift packs
** Wine — always fabulous deals
** Ornaments and holiday décor — an absolute steal after Christmas
** Teacher gifts — I can put together fun holiday packs with a mix of edible treats and fun items without breaking the bank.
They are also one of the few places that stock my favorite chocolate in the world, Perugina. Staff at this location is great, lines move quickly and it is the type of place where I have a ball wandering the aisles and finding something new at each visit. Cost Plus is great year round, but they are a superstar during the holidays.

There are very few chain stores that I like more than World Market. You can get great things for pretty great prices. They also import all kinds of food goods — my favorite being the Lepkucken during xmas (ginger-​like cookie from Germany). They have good chocolate, and they also have some decent wine selections. In a nutshell, this store is fairly on par with the other Cost Plus World Markets that I have visited.
The exception here is that the wine steward is really, really nice, and also knowledgeable. He’s one of those kind of guys that doesn’t talk down to you. He’s does NOT acts like he’s the coolest guy in town just because he knows a thing or two about wine. Those characteristics are sometimes hard to come by when it comes to buying wine. So, if you’re looking for a bottle of wine for dinner tonight, head on over to World Market, and you’ll be fixed-​up in a jiffy!

This place is like a Pier 1 minus the high prices, heavy furniture focus and stiff attitude. If you have last-​minute holiday shopping to do (like I did), get over here. You’ll find unique gifts, furniture and food that you may find oddly appropriate for some people on your list. And if you don’t, there’s always Target, Old Navy and Nordstroms right next door.
