But, after shopping there for several years all over the country, I've slowly discovered that most of the stuff you see has originally been pulled for some hidden reason. It's rarely overstocks and promos. And, since the economy has been worse, you see the dregs. Stay away from cosmetics, or anything not regulated very well thanks to current FDA. For example Gatorade aspertaime is a little dangerous after expiration. I've even tried their electronics, and found huge QA issues. Their international foods is good. However, something as simple as Basmati rice turned out to be a bad batch. Sorry to be the debbiedowner; BL is still fun -- just a little more work/skill is required.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548655435356828766.post-19515262063748737912008-08-05T13:22:00.000-04:002008-08-05T13:22:00.000-04:00Big Lots! is the Bomb. I love that place. The stuff is good and cheap. I've found some very gourmet stuff there for half the price at regular stores. The other item I love are their wide selection of picture frames. Unless it's on sale, I can't afford to pay $15 or $20 for a nice frame for my endless stream of pictures. But, at BL for $5 I get what I need.The Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13199347336002568663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548655435356828766.post-78224233466698259862008-08-05T11:47:00.000-04:002008-08-05T11:47:00.000-04:00I love Big Lots! My favorite thing to buy there is sunblock. Especially if you live in South Florida, you need the stuff by the bucket and it's only 3 bucks for a huge tube of Banana Boat.Athina Andrettihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01423625637069408511noreply@blogger.com
