At Home

As a first timer, this place is a little overwhelming. However, has great variety and prices are comparable to homegoods or hobby lobby.

Legit. It’s like if HomeGoods and Costco had a baby. You’ll have to dig, and allocate quite a bit of time in there, but it’s ok, you can do it.

If you have ever shopped the eclectic merchandise at Garden Ridge you’ll know this store. The same location, the same merchandise minus a few departments.
I happened in during the change over week to return a purchase I made at Garden Ridge. It was no problem even though the store has now created a new identity for themselves. After negotiating the return I briefly previewed the new store. What a deal I fell into. Since At Home is not going to carry books (or CD’s) all books were advertised to be 49 cents. I found a thick hard back book detailing fabric embellishment ideas. Wow, this would sell for $ 15. or more anywhere else. I also picked up a variety of children’s books for my grandson (Clifford the Big Red Dog, Clifford activity and coloring book, two paint with water books, a book on animals of the Rain Forrest with a button that you press to hear their sounds, and a CD of children’s songs). For my daughter I bought a book of Sudoku puzzles.
Out the door for all these purchases I paid $ 3.64
I can’t give them a better rating yet because the store still has that made in China smell and a general feel of being filled to the brim with items that would not sell elsewhere.
