Big Lots

I like Big Lots, but certainly not my favorite store. The have a little bit of everything. I do give them a 5 on organization of the merchandise. They usually have enough Cashier’s working and when it get’s busy-​they get back up assistance. I am not sure about the quality of the furniture they sell, but they display it well and it looks like pretty good quality. They could improve on making sure the products have the prices on the shelf. They occasionally have % off sales. I also have the Member/​customer reward card that they scan when I check out. I always save $$ this way. They have food products. The Management staff is visible for staff and customers. They have great sales on Black Friday and until after Christmas.

This is not my store, it’s my mother’s favorite store. She’s an avid bargain hunter and loves shopping here on a regular basis. On this visit, she found a over-​sized recliner that she’s been wanting for years and thanks to the President’s Day sale she was finally able to get one. I won’t say much about the rest of the store, but I’ll give Big Lots credit for having some decent furniture. I found myself checking out the sectionals, recliner sofas, bar stools, and mattresses with bed frames. Also because of the holiday sale the Furniture Department was a little crazy and employees were running around every which way trying to get to all the customers, some of whom were getting tired of waiting to be helped. They did the best they could. Now I know what store to check out first when I need furniture.

Interesting I found myself here today and thought why? I was not going to decorate this year simply because I will be gone most of the holiday but I caved. Out of all the places available to me this was the closest and priced similar to Wally World, and less expensive than Tarjay. It was the correct choice. All the trees were 50% off just the right size and they were pre wired. Lot’s of staff on the registers and floating around to assist the lost, weary and confused. There really are a plethora of goods way under market price and brand names. As well as mystery vendors. I stopped in here a month ago to look for some emergency kitchen items and found what I needed at a much lower price point. It’s worth the trip if you never have been just to get an idea pf what is available. Just in case.

I love the prices at Big Lots. Now, granted it’s not the most organized place in the world, but once you find stuff the prices make it worth while. They have a lot of household stuff like pillows, cleaning supplies, towels, etc. They also have grocery items. some name brands, some store brands. I usually go here when I need something and don’t want to pay a lot for it. They don’t always have enough people working though so you may encounter a longer than expected wait line at the register.

My wife loves Big Lots and I go when I have to. Like when she says to. Today I went in this one cause they closed the one by us. I wanted something and they had it. Just not the one that I wanted so our dog will sleep on the floor again. The store is big (an old Publix’s) but it is cluttered and has stuff everywhere. I mean there’s wrappers where I guess someone wanted something out of a package. So she can go back for I’m almost done with the place.
