I've shopped here numerous times, purchasing everything from clothing/shoes to books and toys. I have to preface this by saying, don't expect to find the items you'd find at TJ Maxx, or Marshall's, or Ross. Don't even expect to find things you'd find on the clearance rack at Beall's. Expect to dig and maybe find a brand name or two, and just hope it's in working condition and at a steep discount.
If you're shopping for children's books, then you will probably find them at a good discount. If you're shopping for toys, yes, they'll be cheap but they'll probably also fall apart rather quickly. (You get what you pay for in this department.) If you're there for clothes, good luck. I've been fortunate enough to find a dress or two, and maybe some tops and a pair of shorts, but most of what they have is very cheap quality and the size distribution is wacky. I've even bought things and got them home to discover that they are irregulars. This goes for children's clothing, as well. Just horrible quality. I usually just get pajamas there for my little one. They do have some brand name shoes, but not a lot of variety. Kids' selection is sometimes a bit better than women's.
They do have some decent home decor and cooking items. I've found some awesome vases and knick-knacks to use in decorating my home, along with some cool wall hangings I have in my kitchen. This is probably the best department, but again, be prepared to look and search and then hope that it's in decent shape when you find it. I've also found cute earrings and costume type jewelry for cheap. Seasonal items are fun. That's actually when I shop here. I found a Guinness shirt for St. Patrick's Day that will work just fine and it was only $8.
Worst part of this place is the employees. Just horrible. Not a smile, no hello, no "Can I help you?", NOTHING. Stone cold faces, acting like you're bothering them. I have seen some friendly associates in the past, but they didn't last long. They must pay these people minimum wage or something because their customer service is lacking.
Shop on Friday's as they have a reward card that gives you 15% off. Just ask for the One Card at the register. I do believe they have a senior citizen discount on Monday's as well. read more
