Lot Less Closeouts

I first stumbled upon this store when I was working down the street and decided to explore the area. It’s a good size location, once you get past the front section of the store. It’s your typical discount department store with some off brand and knock off items. They sell clothes and some electronics/​appliances. It’s a good place to pick up inexpensive items like underwear, shirts, cotton balls, etc. I’ve never purchased anything over $ 10 here because I believe you get what you pay for when you purchase electronics from a discount department store. But it really is a store worth stopping in to check out.

Based on Unilocal reviews I really went out of my way to stop by this store, expecting something like TJ Maxx, Burlington CF etc…
However there are much more household/​home items than (brand) clothes. The winter coats were all mixed together, missing price tags etc. And I couldnt find personnel to help me out.
Honestly, I couldnt find anything in here… Might be a good bargain store for a certain style of shopping, but not mine. Looks like you have to be lucky to find quality items here at bargain prices. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it like I did.

My friend lost her phone over there. The staff is highly non co-​operative. Their products are cheap No doubt about that. But behavior is horrible

This and the Fulton street one have umbrellas for $ 4.99 instead of $ 5.99 like the other locations. This place is two floors: the basement is dedicated to Home stuff. I found a box of Lindt assorted chocolates here for $ 2.99. Not a lot of great women’s clothing brands, probably because it’s been more picked over.

The next time I need bedding, I’m going to this one. It has multiple floors & though the aisles are a little smaller than some of the other locations, this one does have a LOT of stuff. If you are a sharp hunter of goods, you can do well here. Again, love Lot Less.

You will find brand quality clothes for cheap from Ann Taylor to Calvin Klein. This place is a heaven sent to earth. They have different quality products that’s why you need to check this place occasionally.

I would rather go to Jack’s 99 Cent Store than have to maneuver this cramped shopping space. The nerve of them to have such tight aisles and expect customers to navigate with carts. Are you kidding me? What a joke! I don’t even think the «deals» are worth feeling trapped. Two tips… do not shop after 4pm or during the holiday season. Thankfully, there are several cashiers so the checkout line moves at a decent pace.

Always find great deals on various miscellanous items. Make sure that when you see something to get it right away because it will not be there at your next visit.

So much random crap. When I say crap, I mean off-​brand products of questionable quality. You know the type of store — As Seen on TV stuff, no-​name electronics, Made In China stuff, Target brand products being resold, past season and overstock clothes, etc. But they also have the occasional quality products, especially in housewares.
If you’re looking for something super specific, they might have it, but they also might not. Was a really big fan of the downstairs area, with lots of organization tools, kitchenware, shelving furniture, and tons of curtains (for both windows and showers). A surprisingly thorough selection of things you didn’t know you needed or wanted until you saw it.

I have affectionately dubbed Lot Less «The Garbage Store» but the moniker is a bit harsh. What I mean is that the items are so cheap, they’re practically disposable. This bi-​level hodge podge shop has such a variety of «stuff you never knew you needed.» My favorite part is that they offer brand name close out items, like NY & Co, Rachel Roy, Ann Taylor Loft and Cold Water Creek. The downstairs is all housewares priced to move. But be warned! Some of their made in China 99 cent coffee mugs say «leaded — not for use with food or drink,» although they’re billed as coffee mugs. Just window shopping in here is an experience, though at these prices, you’re sure to pick up a thing or twelve.

Omg, I loved this store and its great deals. I have a location near my home in Queens but this location is bigger with better junk to choose from, lol. I know I would be in this store everyday if I worked in the area. The staff were friendly and I must have just missed the lunch crowd because it wasnt crowded. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area.

Real hit or miss, but when you find something you are gonna get a deal. I purchased some Ellen Tracy pants that were originally priced for $ 99 for only $ 9. The downstairs section is stocked with home goods for the kitchen and bathroom. Some of times you can even get organic (vegan) packaged foods, like Nature’s Path. They are open extra early at 7:30 am — get there then because the lunch crowd is CRAZY!

Love this place. Everything you need in one store!
It’s neat and organized (before lunch hours) and their prices really are perfect.
One of my gripes woiuld be that if you find a great deal here, once they run out, chances are they won’t have it again. As if they get their products off the back of a truck. lol. I had found these flushable baby wipes here for $ 1. I’m the type of person that keeps wipes behind my toilet, and I spend $ 5 on the store brand Duane Reade ones. I bought 10 packs of these. When I finally ran out, I went back but they no longer sold these items. Bummer.

Living in one of the priciest cities in the US, this store is a heaven sent. I do go here Weekly to purchase all my houshold/​beauty/​cleaning/​cooking/​even electronic needs!
I admit that there is a lot of Junk here but it’s definitely better priced than your local target or even Duane Reade. I have scored countless bargins here and I prefer this location over the one on Broadway.
When times rough and you are tight on cash — it’s definitely a place for all your shopping needs.
I’ve scored yoga pants for $ 5 — they are decent quality and will not become transparent when you bend over from behind.
I’ve scored salon nail effects for $ 3 — but they are last season’s designs.
Actually a lot of the stuff is from the previous season
they have John Frieda shampoo and conditioner for $ 2 — that’s crazy cheap.
You can get a lot of the other herbal essence type shampoos for around the same price too. You can get pillows, shower curtains, cooking pots, a synthesizer even here. (Guess the company made to many, well their mistake is our savings!)))

If you are nearby, this is the kind of place that you need to visit once per week.
Why?
Well, not only do they carry most of the things everyone needs for their personal Hygiene and home but they have a constant turnover of new things.
The worst times to go are during the hours of 12 – 2 and 4 – 6. The place is frequently visited and for good reason.
When i moved, I needed shower curtains. I went to a department store and paid $ 30 for a cloth curtain that I was particularly fond of only to visit Lot Less the next day to kill time during lunch and find a very similar cloth curtain for $ 7.99. Guess what I returned the following day?
Sure, some of the products at Lot Less are on their last legs, like the all natural organic peanut butter you bought for $ 2 will expire in 6 months… but you are making a peanut butter pie later so its quite a steal. And the box of 10 Fiber One Bars that retails for $ 12 that you bought for $ 5. Yeah. its worth it.
I often come in here to kill time when i need to get out of the office. Sure its crowded but its filled with things you didnt know you needed until you saw them there! Like my bathmat shaped like a foot with the pumice and scrubber attached. I totally need that! And it was only $ 3.99!
The cashiers move at lightning speed here. The lines are long but dont worry, they keep shelves of goodies that you mindlessly pick up because they are only $ 1 along the line to make time fly by.

This is a mecca for those who like better quality discounted merchandise. Forget the 99c stores. Here you’ll find Hello Kitty computer cases (oh, who can resist Hello kitty??), ipod covers, Ipad covers, Calvin Klein exercise pants and tops… get it now? This is no place that sells cheaply made merchandise for cheap… if you shop carefully, you will find brand names and closeouts. The store is clean, organized and just fun to browse in.
A tip for shoppers – the key to getting a buy is to pop in often if you work in the area or are just close by. I once hipped my sister to dirt cheap brand name sneakers (I forgot the name, not being a sneaker wearer) and ending up buying mom a set. Stuff goes fast. If you find something good, snap it up! The food, as long as you check the expiration date, is as good as anything you will find in the grocery store.

Working around the corner from here is a curse and a blessing.
Alot of great deals! From touch screen sensitive winter gloves to bamboo cutting boards, you will be surprised how much you can save on items you might need.
The low prices lure me into the store, almost daily during my lunch break. My wallet tucked deep in my back pocket, so to avoid unwanted spending. My eyes looking over the savings from shelf to shelf.
I have taught myself to make note of items and if I do ever need to buy something, this is my first place to shop around when comparing prices. Right down the street is also Less Less, which is much smaller, but sometimes might have a single item your looking to buy for less. Good comparison shopping location on Chambers.
Be sure to check out the downstairs where all the home goods are. Bedding sets to holiday decorations. They have it here.

Up until last year, I was depressed that there was no quality discount store in the city. But one day as I was walking to Chinatown from Stuyvesant High School I noticed one of the best 9 letter words ever – closeout.
Designer clothes, home goods, and electronics galore! This store has some pretty awesome things and all sold for very reasonable prices. If you’re looking for some good items for a fraction of the retail price, do yourself a favor and check out this store (this branch in particular because it’s larger and better organized than it’s other sister stores). However, I will warn readers that the inventory is constantly changing so if you see something you like, it would be in your best interest to make that spontaneous purchase since it may not be there later.

I usually don’t have high expectations for bargain stores, but this place surprised me. I read all the reviews on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. True, there are some shady characters in the store, but you just have to overlook that. Just keep focused, and find that bargain lurking in the dark! LOL.
Sample list of some bargain finds:
yoga bag from Danskin ($ 2.99)
Ceres ruby grapefruit juice (99 cents)
bag of snack-​size Snickers ($ 1.99)
variety of books (99 cents)
fashion tights ($ 1.99)
Ipod nana sports armband ($ 2.99)
Ipod skins ($ 2.99)
They have quite a selection. You can find toiletries, dry goods, clothing, shoes, books, small appliances, candy, and your random junk trinkets. This is def one of the better bargain stores ;-)

3.5 stars
I’m a real fan of this store there’s few things to complain about here. Because Lot Less doesn’t really specialize in any particular category of item each section has a very limited amount of selections so I wouldn’t come here with any specific goal in mind, rather have the mind set of going to a dollar store to see the bargains and find an unexpected deal. The prices here are very cheap and the only thing more surprising than the prices is their cleanliness and well stocked aisles.
The most selections here are their bedding, tupperware, and miscellaneous houseware items but they also have selections of movies, clothes, food, toys, random electronics, luggage, and even small pieces of furniture.
