I'm from Columbus Ohio where this company originated. It is like an enclosed flea market where everything is cheap and the stock changes every day. If you need gluten free products for 25 and don't want to spend $20 on a bag of flour this is a good place to start. They buy overstocks and items you simply can 't find anywhere else. They must buy mixed pallets of products from seasoned rice to canned goods. When the movers lost my boxes of Christmas ornaments I bought enough to cover a 6' Fraser for under $50. Odd Lots - the company that saved Christmas! read more

I went to get charcuterie board for tonight's festivities with family. It is our fist ever charcuterie party. The menu is off the chain. I browsed Big Lots circular on line. I saw a board for only $10. You get what you pay for. I mean to say, the board was small as heck. I got the next size which was a little bigger for $12. We were not doing a kids charcuterie party. To boot, I did not get my 15% discount advertise. It is good to shop early in the morning. I was in and out. The cashier requested that I complete the survey, I will not. This review is enough. Big Lots is another go to store but not for charcuterie board. No, No and absolutely No. Bye bye Big Lots..Hello Charcuterie party! read more

Big Lots - Charcuterie board - Department Stores Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Beware! This scam seems to be company policy. I say that since a friend had the same experience with a different product/store last week. Because she'd shared that with me, I was cautious. I chose 13 small planters from the rack that had signs all over the rack "40% Off". When checking out, I noticed many were not indicated at the sale price and brought it to the clerk's attention. She sent the manager, and we walked back to the display where she clearly knew what to expect and had her speech ready: "See? It says "Selected Styles" I asked, "Why wouldn't I think these styles were all selected. Especially since there were other planters in the store not on the sale rack." Shrug "How would I know which ones are included in the sale and which ones are not?" Shrug This is clearly an intentional, very deceptive business practice and they should be ashamed of themselves!!! read more

This one is tough. The staff is pretty good. Large inventory.I especially like the selection of out door patio cushions, umbrella's, and outdoor carpets. That is an exceptional department. My go to place! I also like outdoor yard art. And Xmas deals are always great. On the other hand l, their clothes are pretty bad. And not much of a collection. The kitchen collection is awesome . I always find what I need. Also, beading is plentiful. Nice home accessories are nice. On the downside, it has been posted many times they are closing. I have noticed that their furniture is almost gone. Big sale has been advertised due to closing. I did not see any type of big sale while I was there. I needed a chest of drawers. They had a few, but expensive. So are they bankrupt and closing? That changes day to day. I would investigate before I go. Good luck. Hope you catch a deal. read more

Was good service, selection was good too and value. just needs to be little more organized.

I'm not too impressed by this Big Lots store. It's older and in need of an upgrade, but that's not why I am disappointed. I'm dissappointed by the customer service when I visited the store yesterday. I had a question for the person working in the furniture department and there were 3 people standing around the register chit chatting. I said "Hello" and the cashier rudely said "I can only take care of one customer at a time." which I guess was one of the other employees she was talking too. After a few minutes the other 2 associates walked off and she was able to answer a question I had about their warranty on their furniture. Unfortunately she didn't know the answer and gave me a brochure where I could call the warranty company. The store has lots of stuff in there, but they didn't have what I needed for Christmas decorations; and I still managed to spend $150.00 in there. read more

Big Lots makes me feel like I am on a game show hunting for the best bargain! You need to know your pricing if you really want a good deal! While most is bargain basement priced- because they buy up leftovers and remnants- some things are better off shopping the big W superstore or online. I usually find myself browsing this store for gifties- because it's always good to have a few things on hand for holidays/birthdays and the such! I used to find the best teacher gifts here back in the day! Now- I wander aimlessly waiting for something to jump of the shelf and into my cart- that deal of the day! Shopping roulette~ what will I buy today! read more

I stopped into Big Lots to get shelf liner paper for all cabinets and kitchen drawers. Had bought some there before and it wore well. While I am was there I had to pick up just a few things I SAW hence realized I NEEDED, 23 things more to be exact but they were really good deals! Lol.....four nice placemats-fresh color, machine washable.. hello ($12)! For new moms or grandmothers the squeezable mixed veggie/fruits squeeze that go for up to $1.85 elsewhere....50 ea and all in date for months! Who knew to mix peaches, apricots and carrots or carrots, zucchini and pears; they do sound tasty! Or how about quinoa crackers (for me) $1, envelopes ($1) good scotch tape(4/$3), stainless steel kitchen meat cutting shears ($2.50), Cooblestone rye bread with seeds ($1.40), 500 napkins ($3-apparently we eat them)! Sometimes when u get in line there is one cashier and to many people but today another register was opened and I was first! My lucky day! read more

I always come here out of the blue with no plans on getting anything. And every time they have something that I have been lacking in my house. Something that I don't even know that I need. The staff may not always know where everything is or if they have something. But if you have an hour just to look around you will find this place has so many hidden gems. I do not buy food or perishables of any kind here. But their holiday selection is outstanding. Every holiday read more

Im in town to move my son into an apartment. He moved here from California so he came with zero household items. I'm so happy to have found this store! It's clean, well organized, and full of great deals on items he needs! read more

I'm sad a majority of all the Big Lots have closed. I came in today to pickup a couple of household items, and was mortified after going into the restroom, they have two stalls in their bathroom and both toilets we're covered in feces and mold. My next issue as when I went to the front registers at the customer service desk to get a price check on an item; the young lady Naomi was on the phone helping a customer, and as I was waiting patiently she ended the call did not acknowledge me whatsoever then next thing I know a customer is coming to check out and she just completely ignores me and checks out the customer then as that customer was checking out another customer came in line and it was only at that point when she acknowledged me and said I'll be with you in a minute. I walked away and found another associate, I believe her name was alma.. very sweet Russian Lady stopped what she was doing at the other end of the store and walked with me to the front counter to do a price check. I have no idea what is going on at the store from the looks of things it won't be long and this location will be closed as well. read more

I really like big lots. Pretty much always find something I need or want. I love their stock of Christmas lights and decorations! I also like their furniture selection. This could use a revamp. The register is always a cramped area. Usually only one or two lanes open for check out. If there is a line for checkout it makes it hard to shop because the line usually extends in the walkway. The other parts of the store are better and more spacious. You can usually find a good deal here though. It has a big parking lot and is in a great easy location. Right off San Jose and Old St Augustine. I usually come here to get gifts or Christmas items. They also have a good selection of home goods. read more

This is the biggest Big Lots I've ever visited. The middle section is like a typical (in my experience) Big Lots. Full of home stuff, some food, etc. On one side there is a section (within the bigger store) of furniture and on the other side, there is a section of out door stuff (pool stuff, decorations, etc). It's your typical Big Lots, not particularly clean or well organized but sometimes you can find some useful stuff super cheap. In my experience, the staff here is pretty friendly, too. When I'm nearby and running errands (as was the case this morning), I usually stop in and take a quick look. read more
