Big Lots

I can’t help my love for Cheap prices and nice things. I can usually find good brand makeup here (cover girl, rimmel, mabelline, etc) for like half the price is get it anywhere else. And I love to come here for cleaning supplies and things like candles. They have really cute knick knack type stuff to decorate your house with. I really do like this place, it’s usually pretty clean but when it’s busy they will only have 1 person at the register and they just so happen to be the slowest effing people you could put up there but whatever. Cheap prices!

Love this place I come in when they have good stuff on their advertisement. Great place to find a lot of your gardening needs.

Don’t shop here. My car got towed after 45 min. They didn’t care that I was a paying customer and had receipts to prove it. I even called the property manager Tom 805 782 8800 who refused to pay me back for the tow fees. They permenantly lost me as a customer. Most of the stuff there is past the expiration date too.

This store looked like it was closing down. Shelves empty, some isles closed, no staff to help point you in the direction of what you’re looking for… Mehhhh
My GFs car wouldn’t start at the gas station across the street, so i ran into this Big Lots to get some jumper cables. I did end up finding some and for a very reasonable price, i don’t remember the price, i just remember i was pleased i didn’t have to spend as much as i anticipated. I almost gave them a 2-​star, but i couldn’t get myself to do it, just because of how bad the stores appearance was.
Big Lots, 1-​star, clean up and restock guys, then you’ll be a 3-​star or higher in my book.

The Indian mgr that works there acts weird and rude, creepy.

Great place to find some name brand products at great prices. The store is more organized and cleaner than I remember.

This location is probably one of the better Big Lots that I’ve been to, the workers are very friendly & very organized.
My BIGGEST problem with this place is that they have the filthiest shopping carts. Each time I go I have to search to find the cleanest cart & believe me the one I choose isn’t even close to clean.
Big Lots, take one of your hoses & go out back & wash them down!

The female cashier was totally checking out my nuts She could not stop staring at them, and then suddenly reached for them and grabbed them. All four cans of cashews and mixed nuts! Beforeshe rang them up, she opened up my cans, and made sure no one opened the foil lining underneath the plastic cover. Totally cool of her, I never do that, but I will from now on. Everyone should check their nuts before paying for them.
I just got gas across the street and noticed the 57 freeway was jammed so I decided to kill time here. My favorite snack is cashews and mixed nuts. And I found some here, the off brand cans were only $ 3.00, so I had to have four. But as others have said, the former Pic N Save chain is totally hit or miss. They’ve recently upgraded some parts of the store. The food items are now to the right of the store. They are more neatly stored on shelves, and there is new flooring. There are even some refriegerated items like milk and eggs.
It’s a big store for what it sells, many of the items are overstock or items piurchased from other businesses that close. The rest of the store is the same haphazardly arranged mess. But today, I also found 10 alkaline batteries for $ 5, and that is very cheap. No one uses them anymore, but there were some cheap men’s and women’s watched for $ 12 and under witha retail price over $ 20. There were some decent appliances, a wide array of health and beauty aids, gardening and cleaning stuff, and wine. The wine prices are decent like $ 5 for Beringer White Zinfandel.
At 4 PM, the store wasn’t very busy. There was no one in line in front of me. I was in and out of the store in 10 minutes even after browsing around. The cashier was really good though to make sure I got some good cans. Definitely some day when I’m in the area, I’ll stop in again. And check your own nuts before you take them up to the cashier.

This Big Lot’s is ok. It’s not the best I have been too. I will even chose the dumpy one in Fullerton over this one. It has the bare essentials which I do come here for. It’s not all updated either. I haven’t had a chance to try the wine selection yet. I do know that some other Big Lot’s have a great selection and have the notorious Walker Brown wich is delicious. This one is not it though =(If you live close to this one then you’re better off going to the one in Westminster which is not too far away if you have some time on your hands.

This place is a monstrosity, to say the least. You could get lost in the aisles for hours on end, checking out crap you don’t really need, but might buy because it looks like a good deal. My inner penny pincher LOVES this joint!
That said, not everything is a total win. I’ve seen plenty of stuff there that I could find at Wally World or Target for about the same price or even lower. Once in a while though, you’ll come across something you really DO need that is indeed a really good deal. Then you do your happy dance and make your way to the register where no one moves with any sense of urgency regardless of the number of customers in line.
But. once you’ve paid and split, you get to take your bargain find home. Quick tip: don’t buy food, pet or otherwise from here. Just sayin’.

Place is very big, but its always a hit or miss. Typically, something you’ll find one week will be gone by the next. Out of this big lots and two others in the area (lincoln in buena park and katella in anaheim), this is the most favorable one. There was one south at state college and lincoln but it’s been closed and turned into a goodwill as of.2 years ago?
Protip: Make sure you get on their mailing list, yesterday was a 20% off everything in stores. Yes it was very crowded, had to wait in line for 15 minutes to check out.
Your guide to the surrounding area: The Goodwill next door is the worst one I’ve ever been to (Small, cramped, overpriced and lacking anything worth buying) and the 99 Cents Only store a few doors down is very decent. Avoid ‘Five Guys’ like the plague, there’s a reason its always empty or otherwise inhabited by smug, single white guys in their 50’s.The most expensive thing In-​N-​Out sells (The 4×4 with a large combo) is still cheaper then a burger and fries w/​o a drink at five guys.
Four Stars because the wait in line to check out is always rather long and the store is always understaffed.

This biglots has good stock but is chaotic. Long lines to check out and ambivalent employees.
I’ll still shop here but I wish they would step it up. Get more cashiers at peak times. I actually abandoned my shopping cart here a week ago, too long a line for the few items I had in my cart. I walked out. I went back a few days later and bought the same items. But I had to go back!

While this place is just like any other big lots there are a lot of problems here. This big lots is disorganized with things lying around everywhere. It also doesn’t have as many things as many of the other big lots. It is good cheap prices for many things if you can find them.

I can’t always count on finding whatever crap I need at the Big Lots location.
And at very very low prices.
Very convenient and nice, especially when you really really want to save money for more fun stuff… like food!
haha!

Hot, sticky fumes of tar steamed off of the newly paved asphalt parking lot on a very hot day in March. The shopping center that this Big Lots location inhabits just received a major makeover. New paint, new stucco, repaved parking lot with fresh, bright paint illuminating all the lines. It was a concrete paradise that Don Johnson would be envious of.
I was actually hunting for a floor lamp on this specific afternoon. I did not find one, but what I found was even better — alcohol. This specific location of Big Lots has an abundance of very good wine, ranging from the $ 3.00 to $ 8.00. I picked up a great bottle of 2001 Merlot for only $ 4.00 I was ecstatic! It vanished into my being the next day. I was also impressed with their food selection here, as well as the bedding and bath implements, with a wide selection of comforters. There’s also a Goodwill, Del Taco, and other useful businesses in the same complex. Will definitely return here for more inexpensive wine, and maybe a sheet set.
