Big Lots

Me and my family loved this location. We have looked at 6 different furniture store and couldn’t find any that we all agreed on. So we discovered one that we liked at big lots. Anyway, we have just recently purchased a couch set there, paid full price and the furniture manger informed us that they will submit an order that day and that it will take «two weeks» For it to come in. As I was checking out the lady who assisted us seemed like she didn’t know what she was doing while ringing us up. Mind you there were customers waiting in line! It literally took her about 10 minutes to ring up two items. Wow! I had reminded and asked repeatedly if the couches would come in in two weeks just to make sure she wouldn’t forget about us, because it was obvious that 1) she didn’t know what She was doing 2) the staff there didn’t seem like they cared about their customers…
The next two days I called to follow up to see if they had submitted an order. Was transferred to furniture dept. talked to someone briefly and then was put on hold, another person gets on the line and thinks she knows what She was talking about and had to put me on again to ask, got back on the line and told me that they submitted the request to their boss and that they will be calling me. She informed me this time that it will take 3 weeks. Wth!!! I thought 2 weeks. She told me that I could call another store to see of they have it and that they’ll refund me my money back if I found one. Waste of time! Ugh. It’s been over 3 weeks and I’m still waiting on them to call me.
Will be calling tomorrow like a bug a boo. Hopefully they get their stuff together and fill me in with some good news. If not, I would have to complain to their big boss, whoever that is!

I love treasure hunting and Big Lots is perfect for that!
First off, if you have never been to a Big Lots, which is probably unlikely and if it’s true… where have you been? BUT, if you have never been, they are basically a cross between The Dollar Store, Ross and Wal Mart/​Target. They have a lot of generic trinkets and no name toiletries and cleaning supplies to snacks and canned foods to furniture and electronics. Sometimes they have some interesting options and name brand items that are a fraction of the price you would find them in «a regular store». My favorite part of the store is the home décor and housewares. The fun part about Big Lots is that they seem to be one of those overflow stores like Ross, Marshalls or TJ MAXX, so the treasure hunt is usually pretty interesting. What you see today you may not see tomorrow and you will most likely not see it next week.
I can’t even list all of the different types of items I have purchases over the years, but a few favorites… lawn chairs, floaties for the pool, citronella hanging candles, paintings, picture frames, summer dishware, a broom lol… seriously, the list goes on. There is a little bit of everything in this store.
The staff is friendly and relatively helpful, nothing outstanding, but I’ve never had a bad experience at this location. Overall, definitely one of my «go to» spots if I’m looking for something unique or just trying to avoid the chaos of the Natomas Wal Mart!

I love buying cleaning supplies, snacks, and household items from this Big Lots. Of course, some of the merchandise are flimsy or cheap material, but most of it are good. You get what you pay. Be sure to check out the furniture in the back of the store, where the restroom is located at (restroom needs a key from cashier). The parking is large, and DD’s Discounts is practically next door. Just skip the little clothes store, next door, because it’s quite expensive. :) Go on, charge!

located off northgate.
This big lots is sizable compared to other locations. with all the same values of any other big lots.
If you weren’t looking for it you would miss it.
The store is well staffed and isles have been clear when ive been there.
never a bad vaule for the products offered. there’s deals & steals to be had in this place/​ (as any other big lots location) .
I will be back.

This place lives up to its name. Big lots… of everything for your home! Some stuff like the snacks are questionable, I always have to check the date to make sure it’s not expired. LOL but good deals on alot of various household items, scrapbooking, kids toys/​stuff and furniture. I picked up some gift bags and birthday cards and even got most of my wall frames and décor from here, painting of different types of flowers and vases. Really pretty for $ 5 each! I also got some beach themed items for the bathroom and anchor key holder! Very cute and it was on sale at the time. I came back weeks later to look for some other stuff in that same beach section but it was cleared out :(so note to self, buy it when I see it so it doesn’t vanish the next time I go. Also not a good time to go during my lunch break since the lines can get super long and goes slow since there would be only one cashier up front.

HOLD UP — SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! I’ve been in this store many times but usually what I need is right at the front of the store. Well today, (hold on, let me get my glass of brandy and cigar). Ok, now I’m ready. TODAY, I actually ventured all the way to the back of the store and I was silent, mouth agape. WTH??? REALLY!!! All these treasures have been sitting here all this time? I found 5, THAT’s RIGHT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 things for which I’ve been searching high and low. And then it was epiphany out of the blue.
The store lights seemed to dim, the angels started singing and the spotlight was right on this item that is a must have for my yard. Home Depot and Lowes sell for a couple hundred dollar more. I stood there looking at it for so long the securty guard asked me if I was ok and snapped me out of my bliss or it might have been Shaniqua and Mercedes talking loud on their phones standing right beside each other. HINT: perhaps you both have to keep saying «what you gurl?» to the person on the phone because you are both standing beside each other talking LOUD!!. It couldn’t be South Natomas without a little ghetto flava up in there! LOL.
Anyway, I’ll definitely be checking out this place more often now that I know they’ve got all kinds of goodies up in there. I especially like the fact that I don’t have to wear my flak jacket in there like across the street at an unnamed deep discount store. :-)

This is the closest big lots to me but they always have 1 cashier on week nights. There is always a huge line. Otherwise the store is an average big lots.

I usually go to the Big Lots in Woodland (love that store), but once I found out there was one closer to where I lived, I was really excited. While this store has similar merchandise, it’s a bit messier than the one I usually go to. I wish it was a bit more organized and thing were grouped by category. I like to come here during the holidays and stock up on Christmas supplies. It is much cheaper than going to Target or Walmart. They have individual wrapped gifts as well-​great for those unexpected guests who come to your house.

Big Lots! Rock! I tend to go out to the elk Grove store and on occasion I will head over to the Northgate store if I’m in the area. I recently was looking to purchase furniture and finally decided that I wanted to pick up a sofa/​love seat combo by Simmons from Big Lots! I went online to the website to see what other items they had and decided to join the buzz rewards program they offer. Join online and go to any store and give them your email address that you used and they will give you your card. We happened to stop off there to look at the couches and pick up some house and gardening items. When I was at the register the assistant manager was actually the one that helped me. She gave me my card and explained to me how the rewards programmed work. Basically you make 10 purchases of $ 20 or more in a year, on your 11^th purchase you will receive 20% off your ENTIRE purchase. It will be on your reward card account. the 20% also works on furniture. She also informed that they send out emails for friends and family discount of 20% off entire purchase twice a year and other promos through the year. Well she informed me that they would sending out an email for the weekend of March 5 – 6. I got the email and it said that if I was a buzz rewards member that I was able to shop on March 5 from 5pm-​9pm, if I was not be able to make it I had the option of printing out a coupon to bring in the following day. I was able to get my couches for around $ 500. They also allowed me to pay for them at the time and come back later to pick them up. Well when I went to pick them up they apparently did not have them in stock. Anyhow they were able to find a set at the North Highlands store and because I had to drive out of my way to do this the store manager, Gary, compensated me by adjusted the price of my purchase. I thought that this was really nice of him. He was very nice and apologetic for what had happened. They have lots of name brand items as well for very reasonable pricing.

OMG big lots… I love you.
Big Lots for me in in between Target and The Dollar Tree, it’s not janky 99cent store but it’s not big ass hot mom corporate Target either, it’s in between. What I love is they sell the same stuff as they sell at Target but for a third of the price. Of course they don’t have everything but they have pretty much everything. lol.
Wheaties Fuel: Target: $ 4, Big Lots $ 1

I came in here looking for a floatie to go down the river. But instead what do I find? A pile of trinkets and doo dads fitting for a Gypsy super store. I mean what do these guys actually sell that people will buy? I don’t get it! Big lots of what? crap?
Ok maybe I’m being a little severe, if you want to get a cassette tape of some obscure band for $ 5 your in luck.
