Shopping in Virginia Beach, Virginia…read more.. I've known my friend since First Grade and I trust her totally. When she makes a suggestion, I listen and follow. She said that we should take a look at Ollie's. It's a discount shopping experience. There are all kinds of overstocked merchandise such as books, clothing, personal care items, pet supplies, gardening tools, snacks, beverages, greeting cards, children's toys, kitchen appliances, towels, linens, home decor items, etc. I found silicone gloves for cooking/baking, a shower caddy for my God daughter's bathroom, and gardening gloves for the beach clean up this weekend! Great deals! At checkout, the efficient cashier asked if I wanted to join the Loyalty Program - Ollie's Army. Sure! I'm looking forward to returning and getting more bargains in the future!

Okay first off, the countless images of "Ollie" hanging everywhere creep me out…read more Now that that's out of the way, allow me to begin my review. The claims of "cheap" stuff are only that.. claims. Just the condition of the store was questionable, as it seemed most stuff was just scattered around, aimlessly. There wasn't much I found to get, which was somewhat disappointing. It felt like a cross between Kmart, Rose's, Big Lots, Dollar General and your typical dingy little outlet store you see in 90s movies. The only thing I ended up with was a light blue bath towel. It's not bad, but I will admit that it's the only bath towel I own that had mystery stains on it after the first use. It's like it bleached itself. I didn't do anything different with it and it still rebelled for some reason. I'm not blaming Ollie's specifically, but it's still something to be aware of if you're in the market for one. Service wasn't bad during my visit. I would check other locations before I'd make a definite conclusion on the chain. However, in regards to this one?.. It's a "meh" at best.

I pulled up for $5 day and found alot of good things. I know some people don't like to dig when…read moreshopping, but that's what you'll have to do in this store. Friday and Saturday seem to be more overwhelming for me as far as how crowded it is. So you won't catch me here on these days. But if you want good stuff that's higher value this is when it's available. This is definitely a get in where you fit in kind of situation. Everyone is doing their own thing and it's busy. There are bins in the center and off to the side they have regular priced items. You can literally find anything in here. From clothes, electronics, home decor, pet items, baby stuff. Some items are broken so pay close attention. I found a shiatsu massager, a speaker, a white noise machine, and so many other things. This place gets my adrenaline pumping. Definitely check them out!!

I went in, not knowing what to expect. Tables full of merchandise, ripe for the picking. People…read morewere everywhere grabbing at items in an orderly fashion. The items for sale were mostly boxed in their original packaging, but of course, some packages were opened with merchandise hanging out of them. I was overwhelmed at the process. There are so many people in there that it reminds me of a New York street flea market. The checkout line was long, but it moved well. There were store employees to help you if you had questions about the pick and pay process. My friends loved it and bought as much as they could. They were happy about the low prices, and they enjoyed the shopping process. If you are in the mood for pulling and picking for the best prices on clothes, small appliances, houseware, furniture than this store is the place to go to get great deals. Great for new homeowners, new apartment purchases, birthdays, holidays, etc. Please read the other reviews for more details on the daily specials and tips for picking. I was personally overwhelmed and had to leave them shopping. My friends were so happy that they took me to Krispy Kreme to repay me for the ride, so it was a win-win for all of us.

This place is amazing I have found some great pieces. You have to be patient and comeback often…read more The staff is great. You might have challenges if your expectations is greater than what they offer so you can sell your clothes yourself. Remember there are young people working here and kindness is free.

I want to start with I was not please with customer service when walking in they dismissed me and I…read more did not greet like others who walk In. And when I was ready to check out I had to move around to get someone to notice me and ask me if I was checking out and when I did get check out the associate that assist me was short with me and was not really getting welcomed vibes and when she gave me my receipt I was expecting like a typical shopping bag but I guess they do not do that or at least told me they do not. And when she was done she just kind of walked off . Overall experience was not terrible but it wasn't the best customer service interaction and I feel like as a business that serves with intent to make people feel welcome and appreciate it to find nostalgic pieces or even fashion in general should feel equally welcome and it just felt divided there . And I actually only stopped by because I was near the area and I was recommended by this by vintage store nearby. The only good thing that I can say is that the clothes options were really good and the price throughout the store was good and the way there organized the store was nice where you had a variety to pick from and I was able to find a lounge beach top with a black top and cargo pants skirt a perfect outfit for the beach or lunch date and more. Again, I wouldn't recommend going to this establishment other than buying clothes, but I hope in the future that they work on their customer service skills and treats people equally

I had no idea this place existed till mom dragged me in. You couldn't tell from the door but the…read moreplace was full! All the stuff they had was name brand. They had sketchers sneakers, name brand power tools, boat shoes of all different colors and sizes and a WHOLE room just for purses. Mom bought one and I bought some early Christmas presents. 15$ for the purses! Mike is the owner and operator and he is just as sweet as pie! I will be back for boots when it gets a little colder. Come see it, it's worth it. The stuff is ALL at discount yet brand spanking new.

By far the best place to get general beach equipment (swim suits, towels, sun screen, boogie…read moreboards, etc.) at a very low price, especially for the location. Also, if you're interested in henna, this is definitely the place to go. After I got my henna done I smeared it and the man who did it, Camila, fixed it for free (granted it wasn't a major smear). Overall it was a great experience and not much money was spent on a full hand of henna, a long sleeve, and a fanny pack.

A real hidden gem in a sea of overpriced souvenir shops!…read more I recently visited Outer Banks, NC and wanted to bring home a few shirts. I checked out a number of shops in Duck and was sorely disappointed. Most shirts were $20+ and/or had really lame designs. This shop allows you to pick a shirt of any color, choose your design, and have it imprinted...all for $11! The process only takes a few minutes. The owner was also super friendly and helpful in choosing the right combinations. I can't recommend this place enough!

First time at Worth the Wait. I was pleasantly surprised by the operation…read more They do consignments until 4 PM daily excluding Sunday. They take all seasons. Plenty of parking with good signage. I found the area clean. Nice staff looked over my four items for consignment. I browsed what was mostly women's clothing and accessories. They also offer some new items. Everything was clean and no odor. Pricing was decent. Unfortunately they do not take business attire and declined my dress pants and shirts. Maybe another time I will try them. But really not enough Men's items for me to rush. 3.5 rounding up.

I've only been in once and found a great jacket, which was perfect for the season. You can tell The…read moreclothing are very well chosen and wonderful prices. The service providers are very friendly.

Enjoyed a stroll through DAV Thrift Store today. Lots of great stuff and reasonable price…read moreespecially their book section. I'm a sucker for a good cookbook and found one for$.090!! Staff were very nice. Definitely recommended.

This was such an excellent day out for us. My friend met up for a little shopping excursion and we…read morewere able to find so many treasures. This location has a lot of really nice clothes so take your time and go through finding the things that you want. We found several items that were name brand with tag still on and even the things that were obviously vintage were in very good shape. Not a lot of furniture so if that's what you're looking for maybe be a different DAV. They did have some smaller items, but I just wouldn't come here again looking for furniture options. That being said it was a great location and I did find some home items, including a beautiful cut glass pitcher to use for water on my night table.

What can I say about Kool Bins other than this was a very " different" type of shopping experience…read more After hearing so many wonderful things about this business and finally decided to join my mother of age 74 and her Bestie Ms Mary of age 84... I am thinking to myself as I walked in that perhaps this way of shopping may not be my cup of tea but boy oh boy was I mistaken. I normally do not Thrift Shop but Kool Bins is very organized and clean.. Kool Bins buys large quantities of packages from places like Amazon that have been returned or never reached their destination and allows their clients to sift thru all sorts of undelivered of packages and purchase the items for a VERY LOW PRICE. Rummaging thru huge bins you can find packages that have a variety of items such as supplements, costumes, household good, accessories such as cell phone covers and even higher ticket items like laptops, etc. They offer daily deals such at $2 Tuesdays where each item that you choose to perchase will only be $2!!! One of the strict codes of conduct while shopping at Kool Bins is to not open packages that are sealed. If you wish to see any of the items that are not clearly visible thru the packaging, you are I trudged to take your package to a viewing table in the back.. here a very lovely representative will open ALL the packages of choice so that you can actually see and inspect your new findings because actually commuting ti purchase. I only went to Look and I left with 15 items . So I think it's worth to check out if you are in the area. Please note that if you followed their social media page, one can see when they receive a new shipment and more or less see what Kool Bins will receive in advance. Overall I will be returning to see what other great finds I can scoop up.

Kool Bins is a cool and fun place to check out! I believe it's only one of a few places like this…read morein the HR area that offers product returns for a cheap price. I believe that most of the items available here are mainly Amazon returns that they buy in bulk and are looking to offload. They provide preview pictures of "big ticket" items a couple of days before MEGA Sunday which is the first day of pickings/savings. They will typically have electronics, kitchen items, etc that normally retail in price of more than $100. But obviously these are returns so there is no guarantee that they work and that they are flawless. Each item on MEGA Sunday is $7 which is an amazing deal! Starting Monday and every day after that, it's $4 for each item, then $3 and so on. I've been a few times now both on Sundays and on a weekday and I would recommend getting there at least half hour early on Sundays and on a weekday, you don't need to come too early at all. I have found some pretty cool items to either to keep for myself or to resell online. Even if you're remotely interested, you should definitely check this place out! Inventory changes every week so you may find something you may like for a steal! SN: they give you a bag, you can fill it up with items you want and anything in a box they will open for you so you can see what's inside before purchasing. Coming with multiple people will allow you more chances to find the "big ticket" items and maybe you'll come home with something amazing!
