Great place to find some heavily discounted treasures. They always have a wide array of seasonal gifts and decor especially for Halloween and Xmas. Trees, masks, figures, wreaths , garland , lights, candy, gift sets and more. Also great for certain discounted grocery items ie. (red lobster biscuits, cereal, cookies, $1 spices, chips and drinks) They have a pretty decently priced furniture area as well. They also have great deals on Toiletries, dishwasher pods and laundry detergents. Never very busy and the staff is always friendly too. Check them out for an easy shopping experience, and although they aren't super well rounded as a store the deals and neat finds are worth stopping in. read more

I saw an advertisement on Facebook for Big Lots. They were selling rainbow themed items for Pride Month. I saw some Bluetooth ear buds and this location listed 6 in stock. It was about an hour before closing and one person was gathering carts outside. There was one cashier up front when we walked in. I initially looked around a bit for the item. The store has many many empty shelves and pegs. I gave up and asked the cashier about the ear buds. I was told they were probably on one of the 18 to 20 skidds of merchandise that were still in the back room. This person went on to share that the people working in the back were lazy and didn't like doing stock. Also went on to say that they have had a bunch of people recently quit, that the store manager didn't want to hire anyone over the age of 25 and they had a shoe string staff. Sometimes it's funny how much people share with me. I ended up ordering the ear buds in line, and saving 10$. So win for me. read more

Big Lots - Department Stores Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

See all

I love this Big Lots! Everyone who works here is really friendly and helpful. There are tons of bargains and staples you can find every time you come. Their furniture selection is good with rock bottom prices. My mom found a fantastic recliner here. This is the best place for holiday decor. The food is hit or miss, but you can find some great deals. One caution - their restroom is one of the most disgusting I've ever seen. Avoid it. Seriously, you'd be better off pooping in the alley behind the building. read more

Prices are great! Store was a little to messy and unorganized for me. Friendly staff. Great place for seasonal items! read more

I had not been at this location i know in a good 8 years....it was always junky, but decided to stop in and i must say, the store was clean, well organized and had a whole new fresh look. The manager walked pass and he was very personable and when i walked by and seen the refrigerated section and voiced my opinion he saidwow you haven't been in here. So i had to stroll up and down every aisle one thing i found was a bag of grass seeds i had been looking for seeds for 2 weeks because Lowes and walmart had other stuff mixed with them and for more than i wanted to spend. The seeds only cost me $8. After an hour of shopping i left because they were closing in 6 minutes but i will be back even the cashier was nice and friendly and they have a lot of furniture that i want to look over read more

Big Lots - They have a lot of furniture here - Department Stores Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I love a bargain. I was looking for some decent-quality, sturdy plastic tote boxes/bins. I like the Rubbermaid brand Roughneck ones due to the big handles, thicker plastic, and snap-on lids but they are expensive! Here, they're $7.70 each. That's $1-3 cheaper than the bulk pack from Lowes, Home Depot, or even Walmart. AND I didn't have to wait for them to be shipped to me! Big Lots sells closeout items and I got my Earth Boxes here last year for just $25. I've never had such success in my small garden! They also sell reconditioned items that have been repackaged and look like new, like vacuums. They DO sell furniture, decor, and household goods that appear to be manufactured specifically for them...but you'll also find closeouts from Pier 1, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, or Linens & Things on occasion. The food section is pretty great. Lots of international items and a HUGE bargain for Bob's Red Mill stuff. Sometimes the stuff is close to or past the best-by date but this isn't the norm. If it is past the best-by date, it's deeply discounted. I picked up 4-packs of no-sugar-added applesauce this week for $1 each. I have purchased curtains and curtain rods here as well. For the most part, I find the items to be higher quality than Walmart or Kmart but at lower prices. Lots of seasonal items. If you're looking to buy small trees, rosebushes, flowering shrubs, hostas, bulbs, etc. check out their selection. I bought some last year (on clearance even!) and they're blooming again this year. All in all, a great place to save some money on necessities and things you might want but don't quite need. read more

I have to admit it, but Neal's review is spot on even though it's canned. This location also is one of the largest Big Lots and has furniture. Their regular products that you can always find here: Spaghettios; A whole bunch of cereals that expire in six months or less; Oreos; Ruffies brand trash bags; A whole bunch of Latin American brand foods and flavor varieties not normally sold in the US; and SnoCaps! They also have a lot of cleaning products that tend to be of the more lower bargain end, but they also have lots of regular stuff here, like brand name brooms, mops and other cleaning supplies. The service here is, in a word, craptastic. The people are friendly, but don't want to be there, so they really don't care. I once discovered that I whole display of mayonnaise was about two months beyond expiration, so I brought it to the attention to the cashier. She just acted like I told her that it's cold outside in winter. Really? The great bargains are holiday stuff after the holidays. I clean up on wrapping paper after Christmas every year. 50-80% off their already ridiculously low prices. Good prices on storage stuff too. Also, the most comfortable piece of furniture I own is a couch I got from Big Lots Furniture back when that part of the store was in a separate location. So I actually take their furniture selection (and the fact they offer layaway) very seriously. It's name brand, Simmons, although they are know more for mattresses than couches and chairs. For more info, see Neal P.'s review. That is all! read more

Okay, I've actually been here. But since this is a chain store, I'm going to basically cut/paste my standard Big Lots review here. I love Big LOTS! (And I cannot lie. You brothers can't deny...") This store is cleaner than most other Big Lots stores. Yeah, they have lots of cheap Asian junk, but you can also find BARGAINS GALORE on tools and household goods. But what keeps me going back are the CLOSE-OUTS of brand-name or equivalent-to-brand-name-quali ty FOOD ITEMS. If something doesn't sell well at major chain stores, the manufacturer still has to dump their warehouse full of stuff that the major chain stores don't want anymore. And that's where Big Lots comes in. Granted, there is often a reason why something doesn't sell at the big name chain stores and it ends up in a close-out store. But sometimes the reason is not quality, it's just the taste of the average buyer. And if you happen to be "odd" or a "discriminating consumer" (like me, ha-ha) and like something that the majority doesn' t like (which happens all the time to those of us who really do have good taste, snort, snort, :-), then you can sometimes find it at Big Lots for a GREAT PRICE! "OY VEY! SUCH A DEAL!" So here's my strategy: I shop the food aisles every week, try a little of something I might like, and if I like it, go back the next time and buy a LOT of it, because when it's gone, it's gone. Are you a fan of Tuesday Morning? If so, Big Lots is the lower-priced version of Tuesday Morning. I've sometimes seen the same things on sale for cheaper at Big Lots. Caveats: #1: Check the expiration date of all food items before you put them in your cart. They are notorious for having out-dated food. Most everything is fine, but every once in a while they have out-dated product. Note: I do not work at Big Lots, never have, and do not own stock in them. I just luuuuuuuuuuuuuv saving money! Also, be aware that the actual products on the shelves will differ from store to store, because they sell out at different rates/times. read more

The deals maybe be good, but good luck finding what you are looking for! It was as if a tornado had blown through every aisle, the staff had no idea where anything was located either. I was slightly concerned about people hanging in the parking lot, i.e. the man wondering between the cars, the man dodging in front of cars as they were trying to drive by the entry. read more
