Big Lots

My first visit to this discount store, and although I was unable to score the item I was looking for, I might be inclined to visit again.
Even though I didn’t buy anything, I did notice some cool gifty items for kids and others whose tastes are not too discriminating. And for simple household items I might return. Anyone looking for a gift for the hot sauce lover in your life should check out the several cool (or should I say hot) sets. Seriously, a decent spot for stocking stuffers and wrapping/​holiday items. 3 big Unilocal

This location is what you would call a «throw back.» In general Big Lots is one of my favorite places to shop (don’t judge), but this location needs a facelift. I didn’t even recognize the store and thought this might have been a «knock-​off» of some sort, but after entering the store I realized it wasn’t, they just need to update the marquee outside because it does not look like the current logo.
Also, the selection was underwhelming so suffice to say this was my first and likely last visit.

Big Lots is for people who haven’t figured out where Walmart is. Or maybe they drive such a decrepit car that they don’t want to risk the longer trip out to WM. Everything Big Lots sells is junk, the prices aren’t really that low, and if you decide to buy something you will be stuck in line behind someone buying out the entire store.

I’ve been in this store twice over the last week and they have tidied up there clutter quite a bit since my last visit. Still a little cramped, but much better organized… and I scored some great deals:
$ 3 dvds
a nice $ 35 5×8 tufted rug
and a couple arms-​full of more things…
extra star earned…

I don’t know what this says about me, but I sort of like Big Lots. Well, I like a couple of things about it, anyway:
1) Blank CDs and DVDs are freakin’ CHEAP at Big Lots. Seriously. A spindle of 30 blank CDs (HP brand, usually) costs around $ 3.99. Nice! And a 6-​pack of blank DVDs costs $ 3.49! Even better! Big Lots is the only place I go for this kind of stuff!
2) I bought a crock pot at Big Lots for under $ 10.00 and it hasn’t burned down my house! Awesome!
Ok. I know my two reasons for liking this store aren’t the most convincing, but if you need something for the house and you don’t want to spend a lot of cash, give Big Lots a try…
…Oh! I just thought of another reason why I sort of like Big Lots! The wrapping paper. They offer ultra-​cheap, but nice-​looking, wrapping paper around the holiday season. So there.
