Brand new to Georgetown, Bargain Hunt opened recently with the promises of..... finding a bargain!…read moreI actually made my way there on opening day, was in and out quickly due to the crowds. I wasn't impressed with what I did see, either, so I decided to wait on this review until I was able to go back and browse without crowds. Honestly, I'm not keen on the trend of cheap, 'bargain' stores that have been popping up lately in Georgetown. Apparently people like their stuff cheap, and I completely understand wanting to save a few dollars, but in the end, you're still getting low-quality (*cough*cheap*cough*) stuff that will need replacing again and again. Bargain Hunt contributes to that. There is indeed a variety of things available for purchase; most notably the appliances, electronics, garden items, toys, and clothes. Throw in some snacks, home decor, and random knick knacks, and you've got Bargain Hunt. I did find a few things that I had forgotten existed (like Skip-Its and Rock Em Sock Em Robots) or that I had been looking for my child/home, but the prices didn't seem to be a Bargain. There was nothing in the store that I couldn't get elsewhere for similar price. The clothes were the worst -- obviously clothes that people didn't want and not priced low enough. I did find some Wrangler jeans for $10; so I suppose it really is hit or miss. The thing that really stood out? A majority of boxes were crushed/opened/re-taped -- clearly items that were unwanted or returned. I did, however, find one thing that I ended up purchasing: an indoor toddler trampoline for $20 (with a 20% off coupon I received on opening day). The box was slightly ripped and had clearly been opened before. At the check out I asked whether it was an item that had been returned. The cashier explained that most of the items in this store were indeed overstock items or returned/exchanged items from other stores. However, if I purchased something from Bargain Hunt and it didn't have everything and/or wasn't good, I had 30 days to return it. Good. I bought the trampoline. We opened the box at home, assembled it, and the trampoline was fine. It had obviously been put together previously, but all the parts were intact and there was minimal signs of use. We kept it. The only thing in Bargain Hunt that might prompt me to come back was the toy/sports section in the back of the store -- there were a lot of toys and games that I do not usually see in other stores. The garden stuff isn't bad, either. Otherwise? Meh. You're really going to have to hunt for a bargain here.

I had never been to Bargain Hunt, but I ended up going to two different locations with my cousin…read moreand sister-in-law, because they both love it. I've seen some of the items they've found at Bargain Hunt, and it's been good stuff, that they got for really cheap. That said, I couldn't find anything I needed here, but they did have lots of nice items. Both locations I visited were very similar, and thus my reviews are essentially the same for them. Both were semi-organized, with an area for outdoor items, bedding, home decor, etc. But, the store kind of has a "yard sale" feel, in that you have to dig around to find any gems. Overall I think Bargain Hunt is a fine spot to stop in and check out if you don't mind the digging. You never know what you could find!

We went to both Ollie stores today! I think the one in Nicholasville is a lot cleaner and more…read moreorganized then the one in Lexington. We bought some food items at this location. They had the same heaters that were at the other Ollie's location. I just got a less cluttered vibe from this store and would probably shop here again. I still am not sure if we would shop enough here to join the Ollie club.

It's always got something interesting I've never left there empty handed even if I didn't go there…read morefor anything there is something you can always find. I bought grab bags one time they had of phone cases and I'm still making money from them on eBay! People complaining about it not being organized need to realize the volume of stuff they get and it would take a whole team to keep the stuff organized. Half the time you don't even know what it is until you open it up. So quit complaining and just stay home and spend a lot more money buying directly from Amazon!

WARNING: This place is chaotic and super unorganized, but if you have the patience to dig through…read morethe bins you can score some really great deals! All items are $1.50 unless they are in the specially marked $5 table. They have food items, clothing, hardware, and tons of other miscellaneous items. This is one of those places you don't go into looking for a particular item. Some days I get good stuff, other days, I dig through a bunch of junk and walk away with nothing. They are only open Wednesday through Saturday each week.

I love shopping at Bargain Hunt because you never know what you are getting. The inventory changes…read moreover and there is a lot of variety. Sometimes you have to be patient because some areas can become cluttered. I bought a shower curtain rod for the bathroom at this Bargain Hunt store. I forgot to take pictures but the areas are divided well such as furniture, clothing and home goods.

I was a fan of this store until recently when upon buying some pork steak the package even before…read moreopening smelled of detergent. Once opened I rinsed the meat in hopes it did not Pentwater the meat but l was wrong. I called the manager who only offered a refund. I went further to explore the source and bought at both Meijer in Lexington and Sav a lot in Winchester. Neither had that smell. I bought again in Mt Sterling a couple of weeks later. It still had a smell. I even asked a close neighbor if they detected a smell. They agreed with me. I went back to the store. The manager went into a frenzy of complaints that I was the only complaint. I believe one customer should be enough . Look, I've owned a restaurant. I know accidents happen. I was trying to explain how it could have happened that a fluid could l d have spilled on their plastic wrap, but l just wanted to ask they investigate such a possibility further. Instead the manager flailed dismissive derogatory comments with money returned. How many people would make 3 trips to the store to try to help resolve a problem? I did, but this manager couldn't see that deeply. It's no wonder people stop trying to make a difference.

This place is just like Marshall's or TJ Maxx. You can find everything from rugs, wall art, beach…read moreequipment, toothpaste, dog toys and food, clothing, shoes, luggage, makeup, and there's even a soda and snacks section. It's extremely unorganized though so you do have to do a fair amount of digging to find your size when searching through the clothes. There are a lot of clearance sections throughout the store and plenty of name brand goods. Overall, I'd go back if I were in the area, but I wouldn't take my kid. I took my 11 year old and she was bored and whining within the first 5 minutes of me digging through the clothing section.

We've seen a steady decline even before the pandemic at Gabe's, formerly known as Gabriel Brothers…read more They used to have slightly misprinted clothing items, clothing samples, overages, and apparel from previous seasons. It was a cheaper version of TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Ross Dress for Less. Now, the majority of the merchandise is Amazon returns. I've even seen knockoff items. We used to have fun shopping at Gabe's. We'd find college and university apparel. Seriously, look through my old photos that I previously shared. Now, nothing, Gabe's, why change what worked? Why does it feel like Goodwill is more organized? Each visit worsens, and few shoppers or cars are in the lot. Finally, I've noticed the same response from Gabe's repeatedly with reviews on Yelp and another site. The bottom line is that "sharing our reviews to improve our shopping experience in the future" isn't worth a grain of salt if you don't fix the problem.
