While in Connecticut, we notice a giant dollar tree store and it's time to get busy . Ok first…read morething I could see, place is big , place is neat and organized, place has plenty of useful stuff from A TO Z AND NO MESS ALONG THE AISLES.Did the roaming each section of each aisle and filled my cart with about 4O items which will cost me about 60 bucks or so . Bring your own bags cause then paper bags are worthless and rip apart very easily.As I stated before , not Grade A quality stuff,but plenty of useful things to use at much cheaper prices then most supermarket or convenience stores . 4.stars on my yelp meter .

I've never seen a dollar store so packed with good stuff! Not only is this store huge, but it was…read morealso well organized and clean. There's one long aisle of gift wrapping and related items, and there are paper products galore. If you need decorations for parties, this is a great option; I was impressed that they also had a range of quality in some of the paper products at still very cheap prices. They also had the largest glow stick selection I've seen. I'd characterize this location as a cheaper but still solid version of a Party City plus all the goodness of a traditional dollar store.

It's definitely time that I update this review. I visited this store yesterday at about…read more7:30-8:00PM, so it was about an hour before close. The store wasn't dirty, a little messy though. Being that this store is a dollar store I don't expect it to be perfect, I simply expect a variety of $1 items such as hair ties, clothes pins, greeting cards, art supplies, etc. There were two young employees working during my visit. As soon as I entered the store I asked the young man if I needed a key for the restroom. He told me that I didn't and kindly gave me directions for getting to the ladies room. You have to go through a small area of the back room to get to it but the restroom was cleaner than I expected it to be. A bit later I was looking around for something I thought they might have and decided to ask the young lady if she knew if the store had any. She thought for a moment and took me to the aisle she thought it should be in. Although it wasn't there I appreciate her taking the time to help me. I selected a few other items and went up to the register. It took a moment for the young man to get back to the register when I got there but I was run out and on my way. I don't see the point in spending more than I need to on items that are not meant for long term use or end up broken no matter how much I spend on them. I always use this store as my first stop when throwing a party or hosting a holiday as well. I'm very thankful to have this store in my area.

Furnishings and furniture, table top linens and kitchen gadget, it's practical but fun spot to dream. The beaded table runners catch your eye along with seasonal decor items (and the inevitable clearance sales). I know no better spot to find a variety of Torani syrups, on site, conventional or sugar-free alike. Lavender lemonade, apple tea, cookie-flavored lattes, yum! Coffee samples also greet you at the door alongside the pleasant enough staff. There are member discount sales and you can pre-order online items for pickup. This location is an engrossing spot, presently the only spot with Buy Buy Baby gone.

I stopped by the TJ Maxx in Bristol because I was in the area. This TJ Maxx is a substantial size…read moreand is very organized. All of the skincare items looked like they were on a shelf at Sephora. The purses were sorted by color. They had fine jewelry behind the glass and an associate working the area. The shoe selection was equally organized. I saw some really nice Adidas sneakers in multiple fun colors. Their home section was filled with pots, pans, mugs, glasses and an assortment of other items. I got some really cute hair clips that I have been needing. The cashier complimented me on my purchase. This is one of the better TJ Maxxs in the area.

I know this might sound insane- but out of all the TJ Maxx's around, this Bristol location is THE…read moreBEST. Hands down 10/10 every time. I can never go there for just one thing. For example: today I went looking for black boots... I walked out with brown boots a new sweater and 9 shirts for my husband for $100. (Whoops!) The selection is always awesome, they keep everything in order so it's not a mad house, the household section is always STOCKED and ugh I just love it. The workers are awesome too, they'll stop and chat, give you some tips and ideas... they're always very reactive to lines at the register, and they really just have it together. I frequent this TJ Maxx probably more than my husband likes me to, but how can I not when it's literally the best???

This is one of those discount stores like The Christmas Tree Shop, but it's probably my favorite…read moreout of them all. Unlike The Christmas Tree Shop that I think of as offering cheaper items and being great for getting little things, Big Lots has a great and pretty extensive selection of everything from non-perishable food to household items to furniture. Definitely get a loyalty card with them and then wait for their "20% off everything in the store for members" weekend to get everything you need. They sometimes email out coupons that are an even steeper discount, like $15 off $45, but those are less convenient because you have to buy a certain amount. The coupons come frequently enough that there's no need to shop there inbetween, and the discounts can even be used on big purchases like furniture. The things I typically get here are a mixed bag, but my regular items are generally food-related and include: canned corn, Beanitos (tortilla chips made out of beans), Terra chips (normally super expensive but healthy brand of various kinds of vegetable chips), organic tea bags, and Bob's Red Mill products. Staff are friendly and pleasant to interact with--definitely recommend this location over the Manchester store. This review is four stars because they tend to have only one register open, which means generally a longer than usual wait time to check out. Also they don't accept coupons, which I use frequently.

Marshall's is a discount retail chain; they purchase overstock/out of season items from…read moremanufacturers and sell it for a lower price. There are 1236 stores in the US and Canada. I'm a fan of this Marshall's; it's big, clean, and organized. It is very similar to the HomeGoods (which is owned by the same company) in the same plaza. I love their clearance racks which can be found at the end of the aisles. A great place to bargain shop. I've always loved TJ Maxx and Marshall's is essentially its sibling. The following types of products can be found at Marshall's; footwear, clothing, bath, bedding, home decor, furniture, beauty products, jewelry, housewares, toys, giftware, and per supplies. I loved their candles and random skincare, and soaps. The clothes were pretty decent if you dig around the racks. The employees were friendly. Overall, a fun place to shop and you can find some treasures; as their slogan says, "Your surprise is waiting and never boring, always surprising."

Today I went to Marshall's in Avon to buy baby items as I did yesterday as well spending over $300…read more I am 9 months pregnant and super excited. However, when I went to the register to make my purchase today a grouchy old lady with a huge stick up her a** had the nerve to tell my twin 9 year old sons to not touch the candy bags on display if they weren't going to buy them. I quickly wondered why she would ASSUME we weren't going to buy them and I asked her if she was in a bad mood. I followed up by saying that I've never heard that people can't look at candy bags or show their parents for possible purchase. She said that many customers won't buy an item if it has been touched. WOW! Is all I can say. The nerve. Everything is touched in their store! Candles are smelled, pillows are squeezed and the list goes on. This lady had some nerve and even the manager behind her told me it was fine if my kids picked up and looked at the candy bags. I mean what's the point of having tiny gum-ball machines right next to the register if NOT TO ENTICE children?!!!!! Anyhow, people are just rude and all I can say is that if you're damn near 80 years old and working at Marshall's just chill the F*ck out. You don't need to act like you own the store and try to make up these crazy rules to try and assert your non-existent power. Maybe CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT THE JOB FOR YOU. If you do have grandkids I pray for them because you do not know how to talk to or treat children.
