    Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army are on their way (Elvis Costello) If you like shopping at Ocean State Job Lot, Big Lots, the Outlet, and the Christmas Tree Shops, you might as well march over to Ollie's and add them to your rotation of frugality celebration. Visiting Ollie's is quite an experience. Their motto is "Good Stuff Cheap" and they sure delivered on that promise. Food, clothing, furniture, household goods, books (an enormous book section), health & beauty aids, they have tons of good brand name stuff, and yes....its cheap. So what did we buy? We picked up some really good deals on K-Cup teas and coffee. For example, we got a 60-count box of Entennman's dark coffee for $17.99, a 12-count box of English breakfast tea for $3.99, and a 24-count box of black tea for $7.99. All of these were way below our litmus test price point of fifty cents a pod. We also picked up a container of Kraft grated Parmesan cheese for $2.49, two kinds of salsa for just $1.49 each, a Head and Shoulders shampoo for $3.49, a tin of sardines for $1.29, and a bag of Pemmican Beef Jerky for $1.99. That's a whole lotta eclectic stuff for $42.

    This is an "odd lot" store, comparable to Ocean State Job Lot and Big Lots, but the prices seem to be a little better.

    Explored this place as a random Yelp find. It certainly takes a minute or two to find being in the…read moreart space multi building parking lot, and figuring out how to get buzzed in by calling, however, there's some really good book hunting here in the decent sized space, particularly if you're a fan of old books. The owner was very friendly and chatty to me and I had a pleasant experience, found a few old reads, and would return. Thanks!

    Weird little place in a weird little space. The whole store is under lock and key--one must buzz-in…read moreby telephone request unless one has made a prior appointment to access what could be a browser's paradise. The owner (as he announced himself) is, on every third Thursday of each alternate month, a nice-enough-fellow full of the love of books. But every other day at the store, he cements his love of books at the cost of a passing indifference for his customers that borders on hostility. While the book selection is as comprehensive as it is well-organized, something about the place seems... well... 'off.' It's as though one is being watched--or rather scrutinized--by unseen eyes, suspicious you may be replacing a book in the wrong place, disturbing the piles of rarities without regard to how the newly imbalanced feng-shui will impact the owner as he lingers scowling from the sequestered bowls of the shop. The books are, nevertheless, excellent and priced clearly in the "almost-too-expensive-but-still-just-affordable" range. Comparatively, the prices here are fair to good. You will not be finding any shocking bargains or hidden but neglected treasures here. The books are carefully selected, after all, and intended to turn a profit for the owner. After all, buying low and selling high is the name of the game--and yet, listening in on the owner's bargaining with one collector attempting to sell her books, I'd say there are fairer prices to be had from other buyers. But after exhaustive talks ranging from condition to author popularity (when has it been hard to sell Orwell?), she settled on a price with our peculiar host all the same. It was, in a word, creepy. Upon leaving with my new acquisitions, I was reminded of John Locke's description of this weird trade which combines refined erudition with predatory avarice: "Printers, binders, sellers, and others that make a trade and gain out of them have universally so odd a turn and corruption of mind, that they have a way of dealing peculiar to themselves, and not conformed to the good of society, and that general fairness that cements mankind." True enough of this odd little place, I thought. And then I went home, placed the books on my desk, and retired to take a nice long shower.
