Big Lots

Large selection of food, bath, pillows and bunches of stuff. Make sure to check the expiration dates on the food. Customer service is nice. I’ve always been able to find help.

Probably never coming here again. I was over by the furniture looking at couches and I saw a cockroach run by into one of the couches. An employee saw it too, but just kept on going with what they were doing. The cockroach was huge too. It totally freaked me out and I decided it was time to leave.

Very good store very cheep and clean good people and good customer service and great greeting to everybody that come in short line today really fast

in a drunken burst of eternal hopefulness, i urged the mister to take a sudden turn into big lots. maybe they have discount kale chips! or lara bars! who knows! let’s explore!
being the good natured kinda guy my mister is, he acquiesced, and in we went, eyes all aglow.
while no lara bars were to be found, we were directed to the luna bars, which were insanely located with the hair dye products, albeit quite well priced.
i also noticed a good many bob’s red mill products, all quite well priced.

Being broke is no joke. What with rent, bills, gas and unexpected responsibilities. So I have to manage my money closer than hooker on a slow weekend.
This is where Big Lots comes into play. Where else can you get a twelve pack of toilet paper that doesn’t feel like sandpaper when you wipe your ass for the low low price of $ 5 bucks? Where else can you find cleaning supplies that won’t make you feel like you’re being taken to the cleaners? Where else can you score bed linens for cheap without hanging out at a Motel 6 for a night and stealing that shit? Big Lots is where! Somewhat quality shit for a somewhat cheap price.
Oh and 5.5 stars for the tamale lady that hangs out slinging tamales and champurrado outside. Damn are those shits good!

I’ve been at this store 3 times in 2 days. The baskets are a mess, however the customer service I have experienced at this store more than make up for the appearance outside. I really appreciate the service I have received at this location.

This location is old. Its been here along time, and it shows. Every now and then you can find a good deal. You just have to look for it.
As for the service, yea. Your on your own. I’m sure you could find an employee some where.
Lower standards than a Ross. The organisation of their selves through out the store looked totally out of place. Merchandise everywhere.
There are some bargains. However good luck findings them.
I guess if you need a quick gift for some one, You’ll find it here. There where some top name DVD’s movies for about 5 bucks. You just have to look through the mess. They are everywhere.

The fleeting joys of the treasure hunt are evenly balanced against the disgust with humanity that washes over me while shopping here. It has a truly great selection of bargains. The people working there are decent and kind. The clientele are a mixture of earnest shoppers and motel crawlers from Sepulveda’s prostitution row. If you can stomach the sight of hookers stealing cheap makeup and hypodermic needles in the restroom, the shopping pleasure is worth it.

Low prices. Could be un-​organized at times. They have a frozen section now, lots of options. Quality of towels not so great (the material is weak). Good selection in the kitchen area, card section and pillows (better than Walmart). Good selection in Furniture and beds. I got my mattress there. Not enough people working; its always hard to find someone to help you.

I come here often because they have a lot of good stuff here and I live close. They now have a freezer section, which is nice. Pretty cheap. Really the only downsides for this store is:
1. Customer service. Nobody is ever around to help you. there is only one person usually working in the back by the furniture and 1 – 2 cashiers, so you get long lines.
2. Store can be unorganized at times, mostly in the bath & toy section.

I’m a bargain shopper and I’m proud of it!
I’m not embarrassed to say I love shopping at the 99 cents store and Big Lots. They have awesome deals for many items including toys and household items.
Today was the 20% off family and friends day and enjoyed my shopping experience this afternoon, except when I signed up for their membership at their online kiosk and it was all in Spanish! Luckily, I took high school Spanish and I was able to complete the form. It bothered me that they assumed that all their shoppers don’t speak English.

A bit disorganized insofar as like items are usually not with like items 100% of the time but regardless the place is a veritable treasure trove of things & every now and again you can find some amazing deals if you have the patience to pick over things carefully. Four stars is only because just a tiny concerted effort to organize the place would make an absolute world of difference.

we bought a $ 299 Gazebo only to find it too small so we went back with the box unopened and within a few hours of the purchase. I didn’t have the orig receipt which I understand is my fault but they wouldn’t even allow me to exchange it for the large and more expensive one. I called corporate and they literally said If I didn’t like there policy I could always shop elsewhere. Ok then I will and you should to.

I have been coming here since I was a kid, the store is down the street from my place. You can find so many cheap things here. I love coming here when I have the chance and the mula too. This place can be a mess, that’s the only downfall :(You can find pretty good things for a really good deal. This is the only Big Lots I shop at so I don’t know how good are the other ones around the valley.

Big Lots are few and far between but I’ve always enjoyed checking out the merchandise. You really can find some gems!

You can’t go wrong with Big Lots if you’re on a budget. It’s like Walmart for bachelors. You can find almost anything, and for a decent price. This one however is pretty dirty, and the service could be more friendlier… hence the loss of stars. Either way, you know what you’re getting by going here

I go to this Big Lots because it’s close to the freeway and easy to get to. However, the service SUCKS! I know it’s Big Lots and not the most desirable place to work but damn they act like your bothering them cause you came to their register to do something as crazy as pay for your junk. Maybe they need to go to the discount bin and buy a 99 cent smile.

Time do to some cleaning around the home. My vacuum cleaner is on the fritz and I saw an advertisement in the junk mail for a simple vacuum cleaner for $ 19. Now, that’s a deal. I know it may not last long, but its a quick solution for a $ 100+ vacuum that broke. It was either go to Big Lots in North Hollywood or Van Nuys. So, I chose the Van Nuys location because of Earl Hickey. The former NBC show, My Name is Earl, filmed at this location for the Y2K episode. They named the store, Bargain Bag… lol.
I arrived around 9:10am, just 10 minutes after opening. There is plenty of parking. I walk in and got myself a Buzz Reward Card at the front desk. I forgot why I needed it. Might as well get some sort of loyalty points. The store feels weird. Its like a merge of furniture, linen, 99 cents store, and a liquor store. Yes, they serve liquor. I needed only a few items for both my home and work.
I got myself socks ($ 4), briefs ($ 4), and the most important item… the vacuum. I had trouble looking for the vacuum, but they had a section which is not accessible, unless you pass the cashiers area. They had seven small Eureka vacuums left. Woot… and best price ever for it. It was only $ 19. Very nice price. My total for the three items was $ 29.63 including tax.
The vacuum works well. Since its a small vacuum, my home demands a lot from it… So. it might break faster. The store is big, you can get furniture, toys, food, glassware, and etc. I didn’t have any major problems. I have been here before as a kid, but not much has changed since the old Pic N’ Save days. I guess its almost fits a category of a thrift or liquidation store. Well, I needed basics and they provided basics for a comfortable price.
Have Fun here and Keep Unilocaling!

This place used to be OK… but now~~~~What a dump. The ceiling is falling apart… and now that it’s raining the store is taking a beating.
You have to really paw thru stuff in here… nothing is too organized. They have several different depts. here (Hallmark Cards, School Supplies, Housewares, Toys, Hardware stuff, Seasonal, Pet stuff, Gardening, Drinks, Lotions & Make-​up and whatever else you can think of.
The lines are always LONG and the staff is not the friendliest bunch of characters to come across.
Beware of out-​dated food products if that’s what you’re looking for.
They have a lot of furniture for sale at this location… and it’s all in the back of the store.
Always has a lot of cheap Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween Stuff, Christmas Stuff… etc. on sale here… and all kind of other lil trinkets.
The parking lot is pretty big… so that’s not a problem
This location used to be a Pic-​N-​Save.

THIS is the better Big Lots in the Valley. It’s clean enough, well-​stocked, AND they carry very cheap booze. This is where I buy wines that are usually expensive everywhere else… but about $ 3 a bottle here. Some varieties are a little obscure, and sometimes you’ll get a bad bottle… but very rarely.
They have a little something for everyone here… I used to live almost next door to this place, and I would walk here with my ex-boyfriend’s little daughter, and we’d pick out all kinds of cute little toys from their very extensive toy section. Or I’d walk here with my neighbor and we’d go houseware shopping. My big score was a gigantic, badass black area rug with leopard print trim… for $ 30! They also have furniture, but I’ve never bought any here.
This is the better Big Lots in the Valley, so if you’re on a budget and in need of some stuff for your home, check it out!
