Big Lots

There is moths and nasty stuff by the food! Everything is so expensive and it’s really nasty and needs to be cleaned! Please don’t come here. Go to target or Walmart it’s cleaner there and you’ll save the same amount of money.

This Big Lots is part of a renovated shopping plaza, however, the store is old and doesn’t fit in. It is pretty dim inside and the items are all scattered around. There is no one section for anything. I feel like they just put it where it fits. Dirty floors and the store overall doesn’t look clean. I do like the employees though because they actually are friendly. This store doesn’t have the best selection when compared to other stores in the area.

This Big Lots really does have the best selection and super close to the beach in case you’re from out of town and left your paddle ball or volleyball net at home! For those living down here in HB it’s a great place to stock up on all your home basics. Need a laundry hamper? Check! Need some Tide? Check! Need some Pantene Pro V? Check! Brand name stuff at super affordable prices — this shopping center packs a great one-​two punch with Walmart Neighborhood Grocery next door!

Went in to take a look at Halloween items and household items. Prices in household have gone up. So I won’t be shopping for items that I normally buy here anymore.
The checkout experience did not go well. The lady rang up my items. I paid and she shoved them across the counter. I said can I have a bag. Shes says they are 10 cents. That’s fine. My large item would not fit and she was rude about it. So I said you don’t have anything bigger. She said no and blame the no plastic bags in HB rule. I said that’s ridiculous I live in LB which has the same rule and they have never had a problem getting bags for larger items when I shop anywhere in the city! She rudely shrugged her shoulders. I left without bags and she says sarcastically have a nice day! I said don’t worry about me I will.
A) your cashier #1 499 410 needs to be taught some customer service manners. She has none. If she did this would not be going up on Unilocal.
B) She should have asked me if I wanted a bag when I checked out. The told me they were 10 cents if I said yes. Don’t assume I want to carry my items out. Don’t assume I live there and or remember the rules and regulations of your city.
C) Big Lots you sell large merchandise you need to carry bags to accommodate customers purchases. AKA larger paper bags as needed.

Have you ever been to your local Big Lots with dirty floors, merchandise strewed in the aisles and walk out with nothing?
That won’t happen here. This store is great! I walked the periphery and found a ton of good quality patio chair cushions near the back on the left. I was stunned. This selection was more than I’ve ever seen in one store before up until today. Maybe they ended up here at a clearance price from so many of the OSH stores in Southern California closing, I don’t know, but I felt like yelling, «score!»

I’m giving this store a bad rating for violating common sense rules. This store is located less than 5 minutes from a beach. They carry beach towels — even beach balls and sandals — with absolutely no swimwear. What is wrong with you!?!

Love Big Lots always good deals. Some things aren’t great quality but if you know what to look for its worth the $

I like this Big Lots… large store with great selection!

Is it just me or did the prices go up and selection go down? I usually come here for holiday decorations, lastly the 4^th of July and they didn’t have much. Still a bargain for most things and Christmas gift wrap selection rocks the socks off any other place. If you hate someone, need a white elephant gift or know a spoiled child that won’t give a crap about your present, this is the perfect place to get them something. I also get candles here from time to time (unscented or you’ll be sorry.)

Never been in a place that wasn’t closing but looked like it was closing. This place stood in such stark contrast to the rest of the shopping center which has been redone and really revitalized. They do have some great deals from time to time but even then it is usually poorly made things that do not last. The service is non existent. I asked an employee on my last visit where I could find a shopping cart since there was none in the store nor in the rack out front. She said «I have no idea» then scanned the parking lot and spotted some down an aisle of cars and said «Oh there is one out there», and walked away. WOW!

Gotta say. I’m a fan. I never leave without feeling like I gotta deal on something! Yeah, you gotta wade thru a lotta crap… but hey… it is what it is. And there ARE deals with YOUR name on em hiding in there somewhere!

My friends and I stopped by this Big Lots because we needed to pick up a few things before we went to the beach. However, this place looked super ghetto and there was only one cashier when I bought something who took forever. They have really cheap stuff, which is good but it all looks like its going to expire soon. This place was okay, but it looked creepy and the ambiance of it was like it was run-​down and about to go out of business.

i always regret buying stuff from other places. Because the stuff is cheper at Big Lots. They have brand name stuff such as makeup, computer acessories, shampoo, food, and etc cheper. They even sell furniture here. I saw laptop cases that were cheper compared to wal mart. They have brand name cosmetics from revlon, Bourgesie, almay, and etc. Brand name stuff they sell at walmart, target, and etc. I saw some sweet pea stuff that they sell at Bath and body works or drug stores. The pasta was a dollar here but in the 99cent store it is a dollar. Garbanzo beans were 85c for one can.

Geez some people… this place has some great deals, and blowouts from name brand dept stores… Pier One, Khols etc
As far as the other Unilocalers… dunno where u shopping, wasnt big lots… I bought candy canes for $ 1, lots of great deals but dont always have the same ones… and if you wait til after the seasonal stuff u can get even more savings up to 75% off.
While not many name brands, you do get cereal for like $ 2.50, shampoo for $ 1.50, pasta for $.99, always cheaper than walmart for canned goods too. I got large cambells cream of chicken for $ 1 when the small cans everywhere else are like $ 1.50-$ 2.50
I get bed sheets here all the time, cheaper than anywhere else. they dont have everything while 99 cent store may have more food

Holy fuckery this place is a mecca for insane people… which is why I shop here… sometimes…actually never, but I fit in super well.
Don’t hate.
Anyhoo-​ha! They have a grip of Xmas décor mostly for a good price with a few rip offs in between.
$ 8 Wreaths
$ 10 Santa’s miniature village-​creepy yet classic!
$ 4 Tablecloths
$ 5 Candy canes??? Say what? See that’s the rip off I was talkin’ about!
To come fully prepared to shop till you drop I recommend taking a kickboxing class prior to coming here, these people are serious about Christmas decorations!
Don’t make me roundhouse you.
Seriously, I’m deadly.

I miss Pic ‘n Save… and this location used to be one. Now of course you must visit a 99 Cent Store to experience the old PNS vibe. Too bad. Big Lots has lots of Big Crap, but I go there because it’s 3 blocks from home and I can get cheeep hair products, candles, cat toys and dishwashing liquid. Sometimes I buy lip balm, too. Prices for almost everything else are ridiculous. They have a bunch of stuff for the home by Jennifer Somebody and the so-​called discount price is laughable-​$ 12 for a teensy lime scented votive candle is no bargain. Sometimes they have good prices on better towels and bath rugs, but how often, really, do you buy those? I sure miss Pic ‘n Save…

I hadn’t been to Big Lots in a while, which is kinda weird since now that I live pretty much next door to one– it fell off of my radar. My recent visit was prompted by a Sunday ad that showed DVD series season sets for $ 6. The ad had Nip Tuck, The OC, West Wing, etc. pictured, so I was all about getting me some NIP Tuck and The OC for 6 bucks to complete my collections! I originally paid like $ 45 for The OC seasons 1 – 3 grr…
Anyhow, at this Big Lots unfortunately they did not have ANY of the $ 6 selection, but they did have massive amounts of $ 3 whatever DVDs. I ended up getting a copy of Garfield and Friends because it was only $ 3 and I liked the title.
I was impressed by the cleanliness of this Big Lots. Usually when you go they have floors with random stains that look like someone spilled a Coke and it permanently tattooed itself to the linoleum, — but not this one. It was still cluttery and disorganized, but that is to be expected. Part of the fun is the hunt for a gem of a deal!
I was most impressed by the 2 rows of scrapbook crap, since I am an avid scrapbook crap collector. I got a few folios to tote my pages around in, and some punches for $ 1. I also got a make-​your-​own-​coaster scrapbook set, which the box was soo jacked up but the pieces all seemed to be in place, and it was like $ 4. I kinda overdid it filling my cart with all of this stuff, including two huge pillows for my couch at $ 28 each, because I passed a sign that said something about 20% discount on Sunday night. I kinda took that as an omen to load up on all this shit I don’t really need. Unfortunately, in the end, the ad was for the following Sunday. grr. Anyhow, I was also VERY impressed by their snack aisle. I am a big proponent of food that ISN’T EXPIRED, and to my surprise, a lot of the items looked fresh, and was the same stuff you could buy at Target or a grocery store. I got like 4 boxes of Yogi tea for $ 2 each– a total deal since I am usually paying over $ 4 each at Albertsons! I also got a big bag of the actual animal crackers– not the ghetto knock off ones (yes…I also have a snacking problem). All in all, it was a successful trip and I spent like $ 120. Holy crap! That’s a lot of money for a bunch of shit I didn’t even know I «needed». But when everything is like $ 2 (besides the pillows) it adds up. One cool thing about this location (besides not sticking to the floor) is due to the proximity to the beach (you can walk there, and many people do) the entire back wall is filled with those Styrofoam beach coolers, beach toys, Filipino style mats, and etcetera beach paraphernalia. For a bargain-​basement close-​out kinda place, this Big Lots did its job exactly how it was suppose to.

Big Lots is Big Lots, isn’t it? Tons of merchandise thrown on shelves, with a showroom-​esque back area for furniture and lawn and garden stuff… This store is no exception. The workers are always visible and seem to be working (shelving, stocking, checking out, etc) but don’t really ever ask to assist you or if you need help. Also, this location seems to be too small for the amount of stuff they have. They have shelves on top of shelves with narrow isles– and some merchandise that is flowing from the shelves into the isles. You can find some good deals, and some not-​so good deals. It’s Big Lots. And a Big Lots is a Big Lots.

ok. i don’t know who would buy a $ 300 comforter at big lots. that’s just stupid. BUT big lots does have really good prices on hair/​beauty products and some types of preserved foods. it’s also really cheap for household cleaners. don’t buy expensive comforters here.

So the first thing I see when I walk in are some gorgeous comforters. They are $ 300. That’s right $ 300. Holy crap! I thought big lots was about low prices, my bad. The prices were actually about the same or worse than target. Save yourself the trouble and just go to target.
