Big Lots

Big Lots is one of my favorite stores! It’s a great alternative to Walmart as this store carries much of the similar inventory– craft and school supplies, decorations, hair and body care, electronics, pet items, and even some grocery items. And the great part is that much of what this store carries in name brand but at a discounted price since it’s a closeout chain!
At this specific location, you’ll typically be greeted warmly by a staff member. I’ve experienced that they are also generally knowledgeable about the inventory on hand and willing to help you find what you’re searching for.
My favorite items to purchase from this store are seasonings, cooking oil, greeting cards, hair care products, bathroom supplies, and kitchen ware. I find that these items are always cheaper (and sometimes larger) than what I’d find at Walmart or Kroger. Grocery items like granola bars and fruit snacks can sometimes be bought in bulk, too. The variety that can be found here is also what makes this store my favorite. The selection of international food, oils, and seasonings is impressive.
If looking for ways to cut costs on shopping for variety items, give this Big Lots a try.
