Big Lots

i thought about 3 stars, but ill say a 2.5 — They were fully stocked and of course the prices are really great. For example, Bobby bought me a Shark vacuum for Christmas from Macys for $ 200. The exact same vacuum is here for $ 99. what the F! :(
I do want to mention though that no one helped me or even asked if i needed help. I was in the furniture department for a long half hour looking over everything– window shopping for what sectional i wanted to buy in the near future. No one was in that department or came over at any point. I also went around the store browsing through the aisles. walked by 2 employees in two different areas. no hellos, how are you, can i help you find something.
Bleh.

I had not visited a Big Lots in many years, so I decided to stop on in and see what goodies they have. I was surprised that they sell big items such as couches and patio furniture. I just bought some personal care items such as a shampoo brand that I could not find in any other store. The cashier greeted us and was pleasant throughout the transaction.

Mess, that’s about all I can say about this place. Attempted to browse here and it was mostly pointless. The store was just a mess.
I couldn’t find anything I wanted and probably never return here again. The only shining spot in this store was the lady at the register. She was polite and ready to help in any way possible, unfortunately for me, it was to get me out the door.

I always find myself impressed with the inventory at Big Lots.
Really they cover the gamut from dollar candy to floor lamps to garden supplies and everything in between.
So for weeks I had been anguishing over finding a lamp shade. No not a lamp, just the shade and a beige one to boot. Well after eating at Red Lobster and missing the bus I convinced my boyfriend to come into Big Lots with me. I’ll mention that Red Lobster is across the street from Big Lots on Mcnightmare road.
I’ve never left a Big Lots disappointed. Not only did I find a beige lamp shade I also purchased too really pretty red poppy paintings. Although I didn’t purchase bedding they had a really nice selection for good prices. I just didn’t feel like carrying a bed in a bag on the bus.
Big Lots is worth a visit, especially if you like a deal.

Great selection of items at somewhat fair prices. You really have to look and check over things though. This place is pretty clean and is always very well stocked from what I can tell. Lots of snack food! Some crafting stuff, a lot of home goods, furniture… well, you get it!
I got a great deal on a TV stand, similar ones were $ 200+ and I picked one up for just over $ 100 and it looks great!
One thing I hate is the mess of shoes that they have near the front of the store. It’s disgusting and really makes the rest of the place look and feel like crap. Another irk is that the last time I checked out, the cashier wasn’t friendly at all. She was more concerned with what was going on with the other cashier than what was right in front of her.
But it’s Big Lots. You’re not going there to get superior customer service or to walk around in a high end, fancy store. You’re going there to look for deals — and deals you will find!

Ah, another Big Lots! I’d finished up at Nordstrom’s, and couldn’t resist stopping when I saw it on the way home. (Yeah, that’s how I roll– Nordstrom’s to Big Lots, baby!). This one just seems nicer than my usual Big Lots in Homestead, but they have similar merchandise. I think this one has a larger selection of beauty and crafting supplies. On this trip, I got some Bumble & Bumble shampoo and conditioner; Zapp’s chips; Jasmine rice; scrapbooking stickers and some ribbon. They had a huge supply of bedding, kitchen supplies, furniture, food and kid’s toys.
