Big Lots

Yesterday bought a kitchen island from there. The young man in furniture was so helpful. This was one of those puzzles to put together. When we were almost finished we noticed that one of the tracks on the drawer was smashed and therefore didn’t work. Took the track in and he went and got a new track from one of the other boxes for me. Even gave me the screws. Now I have a beautiful kitchen island and they were so kind. Will go there a million times. Have always had good prices. That island would have cost me twice as it had granite counter top. My first granite. Thank you to the young man in the furniture dept and truly all of them.

Anyone that knows me, knows I have a cheap side… excuse me, a frugal/​economically conscious side. Some things are definitely worth going for and then you’ll see things that you really should bypass. Cereal, pasta and sauce, deodorant, snacks, cleaning supplies are the same name brands you’ll find in a major grocery store, except half the price. There’s more to be found there, but you’ll have to venture out to find your own deals.

they have a random selection of things to buy. i ended up gettin things i didnt really need but could eventually use. its such a great price that you dont wanna pass it up.

What a hidden shopping oasis. It may seem strange, but the food selection here is both intriguing and affordable. Last time I was there, I got Wasa crackers, tikka masala simmer sauce, dark chocolate espresso ice cream topping, canned organic chickpeas and peppermint coffee creamer. There’s also a great selection of affordable beauty products and seasonal items as well. The service here is rather dismal, however, and you can’t really go in to look for a specific item. It’s a lot like a thrift shop in that you have to dig through bins and cull cluttered displays to see what bargains may lie beneath.

Big Lots, oh how I love thee.
Cheap worthless junk to rummage through. LOL jk
They actually do have a lot of good things. I frequently buy toiletries, home goods, electronic accessories, snacks, you know the basics at usually $ 1 – 2 bucks. I heart you big lots. Score 1 for a big lots in the middle of suburbia!!!
PS don’t expect stellar customer service, it’s big lots people — run by teenagers.

What a random selection of things. It’s kind of like a Walmart but cheaper. I really shouldn’t say cheaper, lets just say inexpensive because really, it’s the same quality as Walmart and there is a BIG difference between inexpensive and cheap.
There is lots and lots of home décor, all you need is a little imagination. They have furniture, a small grocery section and even clothes. If anything, I’d walk around and see what’s hiding waiting to be found. You might be surprised.

1 star for disorganized and bad service.
So they supposedly bought a drug store and there were deals.
I came across the school supplies, cosmetic section, and the area wreaked of nail polish. Why? No, the customers weren’t SAMPLING to purchase, they were doing their nails. Yuck. It’s fine if you sample, but if you’re going to paint all 10 of your nails, I wouldn’t want to buy your nail polish. They eventually left without purchasing the polish. Cheapskates. Teenagers are disgusting… and I was one only 5 years ago.
They also overcharged me for the pens I got. How is that possible? Well, they had like 3 barcodes for the sale, and the employee happened to have scanned anything but the right barcode.
I came back, had to wait for the manager, had to wait for the cash register to be free. No apology was ever offered and I was sure NOT to thank the person for wasting my time. The manager did say «Have a good one».
Never had a horrible experience with Big Lots til now.
2 Rules for shopping at Big Lots:
1) Do not purchase anything that can be easily opened/​shows no evidence of tampering.
2) Check your receipts.

I used to go to a BL outside Atlanta… and they were a joke.
Old stinky over age stuff.
It was fun just to see the crap that they had in the store.
Was I surprised to see how far Big Lots! come.
New logo… note the different size fonts on the signage and the EXCLAMATION !!! point.
I picked up some individual Clif bars for 40 cents each!
In bulk they are 80 cents at Costco. $ 2+ at a convenience store.
Old Spice aftershave!
Shaving cream.
Microwave noodles (think cup of soup stuff).
Wifey got a soap dispenser.
A fun place to look around.
You will enjoy.

I was just in Big Lots for the first time last night, Though I didn’t buy anything, I did walk around. Prices are actually very good on just about everything, including name brands. Cans of Wolf Chili are about $ 1.33. Good luck finding that price at Jewel. Electronics — 50-​pack Philips CD-​R for $ 10. Hell yeah. They have a very small grocery section, as well as small electronics, housewares, and toys sections. For such a big store, the selection does seem a bit limited, but it’s definitely worth coming in and taking a look around. If nothing else, at this location, you’re within 2 miles of dozens of different stores if you can’t find something you like, but hopefully you can. It’s well worth a look.

I had my first experience at Big Lots. It seems like a CostCo without the bulk. Good deals, especially for kids toys. Yes, kids toys. Why pay more for a toy that will be used for less than a week at a big retailer, when you can come here and pay much less for the same toy. They also have a variety of things at this particular store including furniture. Definitely worth checking out for one hit items.
