Mr. Closeout

Be careful what you buy here. Bought some kitchenware and appliances. After opening the boxes, pieces were missing & each piece cost over $ 100 to replace. Not such a great deal after all.
good for last minute toiletries.

Mr. Closeout might be smaller than some other closeout stores, but it still has big savings.
The largest selection is mostly toiletries, but they have the typical mash up of items from candy, plates and silverware, cleaning products, toys, decorations, and seasonal items.
I got some household items here for less than i would have paid at Duane Reade next door. Good deals!

Top-​notch store. A real unique place and a gem. You’re missing out if you don’t shop here!

bottom line: You’ll find the cheapest stuff/​crap you need here!
BUT the ONLY downfall is that the lady is quite nasty here — very rushy, not friendly, and kicks you out when they are 15 minutes from closing. nice.
Lot Less right down the street is identical, yet is much bigger and has a larger, FRIENDLY staff.

I love Mr. Closeout due to the random stuff sold: my favorite purchase to date has been the book, «Make Your Own Sex Toys» which has been the best coffee table book ever! No joke, they had a pile of them for sale at .99 cents a piece, so you know I picked up not one, not two, but three copies to distribute to my homies as gag gifts.
So, besides random stuff, I recommend Mr. Closeout for brand name hair, cleaning, and random skincare products. No product is consistently shelved, so always check back.
Ditto to the reviews here that say Mr. Closeout’s prices are set far lower than the Duane Reades and CVSs of Manhattan AND that you need to bring a list of what you plan on buying or else you’ll walk out with tons of OTHER stuff you told yourself you just HAD to have i.e. Skittles flavored Lip Smackers. I’m a grown woman for goodness sake, but I just couldn’t say no to a 5 pack for $ 1.25!
My only gripe: I never know if the cashier will take my credit card for a purchase below $ 5. Sometimes they take with no questions asked, sometimes they give me a hard time about it.

I usually HATE 99c-​type stores because they tend to sell things that are manufactured specifically for those stores (e.g., no-​name brands or brand-​name items that simply contain less). By contrast, Mr. Closeout carries «legitimate,» brand-​name household and beauty items at a hugemendous discount.
You’d pay double, triple of even quadruple for the exact same items at CVS or Duane Reade a block away – but WHY? In fact, since the prices are so low here, it has become a habit of mine to first check Mr. Closeout before going anywhere else.
I’ve visited similar stores in Brooklyn, Queens, etc. and none of those stores appear to have the balance among quality, price, and inventory Mr. Closeout offers. Highly recommended.

Why I chose to enter Mr. Closeout is a mystery to me. I walked out with hair-​dye (the good stuff, that comes in the larger boxes), five dish rags, dishwasher detergent, and 3 pairs of dress socks, all for $ 21. This kind of store makes so much more sense to me than say Duane Reade or CVS. You can’t really count on it for consistency, and I would never come to Mr. Closeout if I knew exactly what I wanted… but I have some advice.
As you go through your week, make a list of some general things you need to pick up and take a small trip down to Mr. Closeout and see if they carry it. You will save a lot of money, and in times like these, I’m guessing stores like Mr. Closeout will be more prevalent.
**They do carry many beauty products, but they don’t carry the Neutrogena line, so if you are specifically looking for Neutrogena, don’t look at Mr. Closeout.

Oh boy oh boy is this a good one.
Loads of crap for cheap. Found the fly paper I couldn’t find in Walgreens, Met Foods, or a slew of delis — and for the perfect price of 5 for 99 cents.
If you have a couple of necessities in mind you need to pick up, this place is ace. If you are just milling about, however, be warned you’ll probably head home with stuff that will be in the garbage or back of the closet the next day.
In today’s volatile economic climate, let’s say this may become a regular shopping spot for me.

Since Ralph’s Discount closed on Chambers St I was at a loss on where to by the basics w/​out getting ripped off at some of the Phamacy chains… Until I found Mr Closeout! This place is bargain heaven! From Health & Beauty to Household Cleaning to random closeouts, this place saves me big time! Candles, Packing Tape, Medications, Greeting Cards… You get the idea!
This place closes at 6:45pm so make sure to give yourself time to shop because they’ll push you out on the dot.
