I had been hoping to find some linens on sale for President's Day, but found much better bargains here at Ollie's. The store may look more like a warehouse than a shop, but don't let that put you off. Those shelves are stuffed with amazing bargains. Linens, clothes, housewares, cookware, grocery items (found a gallon-sized can of cashew nuts for $14.99!!!!), books - all at incredible deals. The selection of books was impressive, and so were the hiusewares. We found flats of canning jars for $6 less than at the local hardware store. Groceries are also clearance, but was pleased to find them well away from expiration dates, which is often not the case at discounts stores like Big Lots. The bath sheets are buttery soft, thick and cost less than a regular-sized towel from a department store. The brand (Fieldcrest) was of good quality as well. We found the drapery rods that were our original quest, by Better Homes & Gardens for $8 each. By contrast, Wal-Mart stocks the same brand of rods for $36 and upwards each. Customer Service was fast and easy. The checker told me I could get a discount if I signed up for their online club, which was MUCH appreciated since we spent $495! (THANK YOU!) Ollie's is GREAT, and we're already making lists for our next shop.

I had limited time to browse the bargain hunter's beauty that is Ollie's Outlet, but how I wish I…read morehad several hours to scour the store's shelves. This is one of the the best discount stores I have ever seen, and I've been to a lot all over the world. Ollie's is a genuine, bonafide, real OUTLET, not a dollar store type place or one with "fake" items that are manufactured to sell wholesale. No, this is the real deal, a store that's packed with buyouts, overstocks, and closeouts and prices that are (almost always) fantastic steals. Think of it as a legit version of Big Lots. What sort of stuff did I find here? Espresso machines, household goods (cleaning products, appliances, cooking gadgets), food (ketchup, soup, sugar free candy), nice rugs, toys, luggage, electronics, garden hammocks, electric razors, basketballs, car jumper cables, dog beds...the list goes on and on. If you're looking for something, you may find it here -- and you'll get it for 70% or more off the retail price! This particular location has a phenomenal selection of books. Ollie's is a great place to stock up on gifts for literally anyone on your list. I wish I had an Ollie's near me in the Southwest, I'd probably go once a week. Heck, it may even be worth a plane ticket back to North Carolina just to shop here.
