Big Lots!

Oooooh yeah. This place my jam. Discounted kitchen supplies, cheap household goods, and random foods. Can’t beat the prices over here. It is quite a treasure hunt, it can get cray-​cray in here sometimes but if you like digging, dig on.

Why everytime I come into this store there us only one cashier. And the line is half way down the store with no sense of urgency at all. I love the deals but my time is valuable. This is the last time.

This store have a Very good costumer service the Manager Patrick Kim and associate Stephanie are very nice is great to go shopping to your favorite store and found no just great deals but such a kind personnel.

I did a goggle search for pet store in Newark. PET SUPPLIES, TOYS, FOOD, ETC. WE are pleased with selection and value.

I’m always in amazement that this store is still around. Big Lots is the reproduction of the old MacFrugals, and its like a dollar store and kmart had a baby. It’s quite disorganized, they sell the most random things and its not like its super cheap.
For a good laugh, go check out the electronics section, you can find some accessories for your sony walkman or a universal remote for the vcr.
I find their food to look questionable. It’s the regular brand but the packages look slightly off and they are always covered in dust. I personally would not buy any food here. It’s a decent place to walk through if you’re bored and need to pass time. Be prepared for lines if you want to make a purchase. they don’t open up new checkouts just because there are lines.

This Big Lots is so much nicer and quieter than the other one on Mission. Everything was well stocked and employees we’re friendly. They only had one cashier, but she moved fast.
There is plenty of parking since Home Depot is right next door.

I went on a 9v battery hunt and this was the only place where I found it so just for that they get 5 stars from me!!! Nothing out of the ordinary about this Big Lots… plenty of stuff all over the place. Not many reps working the floor but I was desperate so I went straight for the cashier and she pointed me to the right direction. Sweet in and out visit. ;)

Big lots hasn’t been a destination for years basically since i’ve stop shopping for dvd covers.
big lot now categoriezed it’s merchandise: electrical, wines. snacks, auto, housewares, toys, so things are easier to find.
wines are a disappointment. snacks interesting
eats: Zapp’s sweet potato chips (1.5)
–acceptable, not stale, exp date ¹²⁄₁₃
checkout:
–found an empty line with no lights on.

Would had given one star but the prices help the fact that the customer service is non existent.

This store is messy and the customer service stinks. The cashiers are slow and do not seem to care that there is a line of 10 people.
What really bothers me is that they dont keep track of their shopping carts. They are spread out all over the Home Depot parking lot and lots of people take them home into our neighborhood. I spotted 4 Big Lots shopping carts in my neighborhood today. All within a block of each other. Pretty soon I am going to let management or even corporate know about this store.
I wish we could have a Trader Joes or something else in this shopping center.

The store is always a bit messy and the bath room need to be clean. It Good for fast buy’s at some what okay price’s. however, they need work on there people skills as far cashiers. I wouldn’t recommend spend your money here unless you have to.

The items at this store varies from week to week. Think of it as a TJ Max of retail items. Things you may see on a shelf one week may not be there when you come back again next time. That’s what makes this store interesting whenever I visit. Items on shelves are usually all over the place. There are typically only 1 or sometime 2 checkout lines, regardless of how many people are in line. For a discount store, the prices on some of the items are exactly the same as what you’ll find elsewhere or online.

I love this place!
Food/​dried herbs, scrapbooking and art goodies, household supplies… you name it, Big Lots will probably have it and at a fraction of the price you’d pay elsewhere.
Sure, it’s quite the hodgepodge, but you may be able to find awesome finds!

Meh. Not really that cheap mostly and is pretty messy with lots of dirty and/​or broken products. It’s on a slightly lower level than Ross, which I’d much rather go to. It looks like the dollar store but obviously things are not all $ 1 here. There are some cheap deals here ($ 1 soap, $ 3 pillows), but the same deals could be found at bigger/​cleaner stores like Target when they’re on sale too. Nothing really to make me want to come to this particular location again.

Never knew Big Lots had really inexpensive and pretty good furniture. Ended up buying a couple of big comfy recliners from here. The employee who helped us seemed bored but was helpful.

This Big Lots has a lot off good deals here for cheap prices! It’s located next to Home Depot, previously K-​Mart.
It’s a pretty big Big Lots, and has a vast variety of things at reasonable prices. You can find some cool things here if you take the time to look. They have great bargains all around the store, from different seasonal items to non seasonal items.
From toys, DVD’s, hardware, garden, clothing, snacks & foods, kitchen products, home décor, and more, they’ve got it all here at Big Lot’s all for mostly a reasonable price!
Shopping Carts: They’ve recently upgraded their shopping carts to bright new red shopping carts with stickers on them labeled «Big Lot’s». Although many of their shopping carts are really scattered over to the next parking lot, specially towards the garden center of Home Depot. They really need to do something about that, I suggest they should invest in this
it would really help them contain all there shopping carts.
Service: There’s always usually long lines at this store, I’m not sure why but there’s always usually a long line.
Parking is fine, because it’s a pretty big lot, meaning plenty of spaces for you to park your car.

Lots of stuff. Different stuff. From beds all the way to candy. Prices are pretty cheap. Conveniently close to me.

Okay, the place is trashed most of the time but there are deals here!
One of my favorite salsas from Pace (3 pepper salsa) was discontinued. Guess where discontinued items end up at almost 50% off?! Big Lots!
I scored! I went to the 3 Big Lots in my area and bought up all of the salsa I could find at $ 2.00 a bottle. I’m so happy!
There are a lot of name brand items as well as no name items. Try a no name item similar to the brand name you know. If it’s good, buy it up at a discounted price.
I check this place out once a week for deals. Be sure to check expiration dates.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but if you’re in the area, it’s worth stopping by. Here are the keys to a good big lots experience:
1. go in with an open mind. Be ready to buy things that are a good deal, don’t look for a specific item.
2. know the regular retail price, so you know what’s REALLY a good deal and what’s not.
3. Check expiration dates on food products.
For $ 20 I got: hangers, nail polish remover, movie size candy to get me through an afternoon of reading, hair stuff, and bottled water. Woooo-​hooo!

I’d like to think I have great taste but damn do I love cheap sh*t every now and again! Not gonna lie, you know!
Seriously though, one of the advantages of shopping at a place like Big Lots would be the bargains! You can get a ton of antibacterial wipes for your kitchen in the cart loads if you’ve got $ 20 to burn along with a bunch of high sodium snacks. Big Lots is quite the place when passing through bumpkin strip mall laden lands when on a road trip to your favorite city. Or, you can find BL in the burbs, which is where I found it!
However, something you should be on the lookout for are the house ware products. Its as if someone rifled through the damn stuff and may have inadvertently poked holes or scratched an otherwise desireable item but no defective undesirable item and what do you know — it’s their last one. Shucks! They’re definitely cheaper than Target and comparable to Walmart. However, because I’m a total snob, I say you should only shop at Big Lots if you absolutely need to (i.e., cheap toilet paper if you don’t mind diaper rash on your adult bum until you can afford the good stuff). Also, you may find yourself buying hand soap and ball point pens you don’t even need just because they’re cheap or a damaged house ware. Buyer beware!
