Big Lots Review

When I go to Big lots, it's for one of two items...maybe both.  They carry stacks of blank CDs (50 count) usually from HP for $9.99!  That beats anybody, hands down.  They also carry blank CD cases (either slim line or full) for a couple of bucks.  I used to DJ at oldies parties & for crowds that wanted everything from the 50s to todays dance music.  I still make a few CDs for friends.  The rest of the electronics dept. you can keep.  Mostly junk.

Occasionally I find other things there I need, such as a fry pan at a good price.  In the Spring & Summer they carry Bar-B-Cue grills.  Once again, mostly junk.  However, it's a good place to find charcoal & lighter fluid.  

Another reviewer stated the stores are "dirty".  I've never had that problem.  The one closest to me is always clean & organized.  As another review said..."Stay away from the food & snack items."  I agree.  They get the overstocks & nearly out-dated items.

Some years ago, my son & I were planning a trip to Meramec State Park.  I found an inflatable raft at an unbelievable price.  The same one as at Wal-Mart.  An old, fat man & a kid in an inflatable raft...  I'm glad no one had a video camera going. 

Browse around...stick with the name brands, and you may find a real bargain.
