Big Lots

Man, Big Lots has stepped up their game in the furniture department. I bought a baroque complete vanity with stool for $ 149, and a huge 62″ mantle fireplace for $ 599, also in a baroque style, gloss black. I haven’t really bought any couches or beds, but I have sat on enough in the store to determine that they are very good quality, the brands are what you would find in a regular furniture store but cheaper. They also have a scratch and ding section, where slightly damaged items are marked down. I can never leave the store without food items! They have so much.

I like to check out the after holiday deals. Sometimes you find a winner. pricing isn’t any better than the other guys

god i love mcfrugals.
why did they change their name? mcfrugals is way better.
it’s hit or miss for sure, on items and prices. but holy moly! this store is HUGE. they have a ton of items seen at target for a bit cheaper.
i always like to check out their christmas décor. yesterday i scored a pre-​lit garland for $ 6.
I also picked up a few jones sodas for $.70.
they have furniture which was weird/​cool. nothing fancy or very attractive… but if you’re desperate it’s probably a pretty decent deal.
a few things i thought were cool:
movie theater popcorn maker
chocolate fountain
jewelry armoires
the candle and candle accessorie section (the best part in my opinion)
name brand digital cameras
$ 6 movies
I never really find anything I need but it has odds and ends and i don’t ever spend more than $ 10 on an item. I didn’t get to poke around much because the store was huge and I was on my way to somewhere else, but this store was awesome!

I haven’t been a regular customer of Big Lots since, well, ever. I had a few minutes to kill in this neighborhood recently and decided to have a look around this Big Lots. It’s a pretty big store with a pretty motley assortment of odds and ends.
I did pick up a few things here and they were a good deal. I’d say about 15−20% of what they have is a good deal, the rest is average prices, poor quality or both. I guess that’s what you get when you buy big lots of odds and ends.
