I tend to forget how great Big Lots can be but since the onset of Covid19, I have been saved a few…read moretimes because of this store. When everyone was standing 6ft apart esiting to go I to other stores along Military Rd, I walked right into Big Lots. The only people there were the employees. It was a breath of fresh air. As an essential healthcare worker, I have struggled to find necessities in the last few weeks and the last thing I want to do is stand in a line not knowing if the things I need will be there. However, each time I've walked into Big Lots I'm able to find toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies and a few healthy snacks for my lunch. I am in and out of the store in no time. It's like a hidden secret and I am grateful. One teeny tiny complaint is that in their efforts to abide by social distancing they have corralled the shopping carts so that they create a barrier at the door making the exit only an exit and the same for the entrance. But in doing so, there weren't many carts in the store. It was a little annoying but overall it was still a smooth shopping experience.

The thing I like best about Big Lots are the free item coupons that come in emails when you are a…read moremember. I've gotten hand sanitizer, Christmas lights, coffee and many other things for free just by showing my rewards card at the register. I also think Big Lots has good prices and a different selection on food. Their spices are a really good price and some spices come in large containers which works better for me than the tiny ones. They have good practices during this COVID-19 time with everyone wearing masks and distances marked off at checkout. That being said there are some negatives too. I do wish they had bicycle racks since I usually bike there and have to lock my bike to a seating area which isn't ideal. The wait time at checkout can be longer than what seems necessary. The store can be messy and the shelves not stocked well. The employees don't seem to have much useful information when you ask for help. But all in all it's a good store for some reasons....food and free coupons.

As a lifelong SAVE A LOT fanatic, my experience at the location in Niagara Falls left me…read morespeechless! From the first step inside the door, I was blown away by meticulously arranged produce, bakery items, every label on every can and jar was "faced" forward by staff that showed great pride in their store. The lighting was bright, the cold cases were spotless and filled. Abundance and assortment was the order of the day. Staff was loading shelves while we shopped, and empty boxes were well under control, not splayed across the floor, which is so common in other discount grocery stores. I let the clerks know that I thoroughly enjoyed shopping with them today and congratulated them for having the most beautiful SAVE A LOT!

As an obsessed "maxxinista", I have been to many a TJ Maxx location. I have never met one I didn't…read moreLOVE, until this. The store was awful. It felt crowded and unorganized. When trying to browse purses, there were bags all over the floor as well as the tissue paper scattered. The clothes section didn't real me in at all. It looked as unorganized as going to a thrift store. I never thought these words would even cross my mind, but I will never go back to this location. And I don't think I've ever left a location so fast either. It's worth your while to drive to a different location.

Was surprised to find I had to add this TJs into Yelp. I'm not sure when it opened but I'd guess a…read moreyear or so ago. Its an easy stop if you visit the fashion outlets. In the Target Strip Mall on NFB. This TJs is pretty big and the layout was a little different from most other TJs. Not in a bad way, just a little surprising. It had all the usual things, and the prices tend to be good at TJs. Parking is easy.

When I was a little kid, a trip to the Dollar Tree meant feeling up my grab bag to see if I could…read moreguess what kind of wonderous surprises would await me for my dollar. Well, a few things have changed since then. For one, goodie bags seem to be a thing of the past. As for the other...not everything is a dollar. It used to be simple, to slap down a dollar bill and be on your way with your ice cream sandwich or cheap pizza cutter. Maybe you'd have to dig around for a coin if you were getting a drink, for the bottle deposit, but you could roam the aisles without having to search for price tags. Inflation, we hate you. Though I have to admit, the measly 25 cent markup on some things doesn't eat at me too much. I can still get reasonably priced cleaning supplies (buy LA Totally Awesome, it lives up to the name), razors and fun socks without worrying about if I'll have money left over to get a packet of tortillas for my eggs. I've bought them here a few times, grabbed off the back wall. I'd advise against adding their cheese to your wrap, as it won't melt, though at these prices, you can't expect them all to be winners. Sure, it isn't as big as the location up the Boulevard, and the line tends to get long. Try to miss the after school crowd and let yourself uncover the deals. It's no grab bag, but I'm still finding surprises.

Gone downhill and prices climbing. Probably not their fault as this whole united states is…read morescrewed with this administration but the dollar tree use to be a good place to get 1$ items . What's the new name going to be ? Ollies. Cuz your prices I heard are going to be comparable to theirs Some of the staff are so rude !!! A few nice good ones usually the older ones. The young ones act entitled.

Absolutely horrendous, will be contacting the corporate office. My significant other got my a…read morechristmas gift but took the tags off so the price wasn't there. They helped him and decided I would need an XS after having a baby, which I actually needed a Medium. Go back with the original receipt and the clothing and even though they could match it from the inner tag they would not let me do an exchange bc they said they can't put tags on it to resell it. If I had a gift receipt I could but the actually real receipt. How!? Also waited at the counter for 10 minutes waiting for the lady to come up. This store is horrendous , I will never purchase anything from VS or Pink after this. Hahaha and Fabletics have much better customer support.

Yesterday I went to buy some perfume and was having a hard time finding the one I wanted. I was crouched down with my husband reaching my hand into the drawers to pull out different perfume all while an employee watched. After a few MINUTES of searching she asked if I needed help and I said yes since I'm searching in drawers... she told me I can "look over there if I want" and pointed where she was talking about. She should've asked if I needed help immediately and she should've WALKED me to the right spot and help me to find what I was looking for. I've been in retail for 6 years and would never watch a shopper struggle and then point! I thought it was very rude as she's quite literally being paid to help me find what I need.

I have been going to this Dollar General for 7-8 years and I cannot tell you how much (in the past…read more3 years) this store has improved. Staff is super friendly! Judy is one of my highlights of the day. Store Manager Ashely (my fam calls her boss lady) is always working and taking care of this and that. The store is SUPER BUSY AND COULD USE A EXTRA PERSON HERE OR THERE.... lines build up quick. There is always another employee there to help. Store needs to have 3 cashiers and 2 people to help on floor, but For the most part I truly feel valued at this Dollar General. I most point out: Why is corporate okay with that poor women working everyday all day. I swear Ashely was there when my daughter and I were taking my grandkids to school and there still at 9:43pm (same day) (time on my receipt). I would give 10 stars if I could.

I will say that this store has come a long way. The last few months I've seen great improvements…read more The aisles are cleaner with less clutter and I can navigate without tripping over boxes. Until the recent panic shopping this was the place I would get a lot of my basics from. The one thing that I find frustrating is that this store doesn't sell anything for black hair. I once saw a bottle of activator spray marked down to clearance!!! Like, an old ass 1980's jerry curl spray. And they had the nerve to mark it down to $5. That's expensive as hell for a blast from the past. Who the hell still needs jerry curl spray anyway? It's 2020. Nobody is just sitting around trying to let their soul glow. But, I digress. The other day I went in and the cashier asked if I was a nurse and he made sure to give me my little discount. He told me he recognized me and knew I was a nurse. After having worked my 12th shift in a row (all because of covid19), I was exhausted, overwhelmed and sad. That quick moment of kindness and acknowledgement meant the world to me. That particular cashier is always pleasant and nice to me but that just made my day. It's a great store and I'll continue to be a loyal customer.
