Big Lots

Good deals most of the time on odds n ends. Theres one closeby, I wouldnt go out of my way though.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this store. As their name implies the stock is based upon whatever they purchase in odd lots. Inventory changes constantly and that is part of the attraction of coming here.
I don’t like the disorganization of the check out process but maybe they don’t anticipate huge orders like mine. Instead of just touching an item once, they scan, move, rearrange and bag. Minor issue but it jams up the check out process. They also tend to have only one lane open.
I love the fact that I can find Liberty Orchard fruit jelly confections here. These are usually seasonal items, especially for these parts, and I hate having to buy the jellies online. Shipping is costly.
This past weekend I discovered that they had PureDark chocolates in a variety of flavors. If any of you are fans of this WONDERFUL dark chocolate don’t even think of heading out to the Ridge Road location. $ 60.00 bought all of their stock yesterday. I’m in PureDark heaven.
This store is much nicer than Ollies. Cleaner, brighter. I LOVE the food section. I get Italian pastas (brass die cut) at much less what I could expect to pay elsewhere. The tea selection is great. Oftentimes I can pick some nice British teas in an array of styles that are downright cheap.
I’ve also purchased a few pieces of furniture here. End tables and lamps and such. I’m happy.
Know your prices going into a store like this and you will come out happy. Think of your shopping experience here as more of a scavenger hunt and you won’t be disappointed.
