I am a big fan of weekly discount stores like this one, and I am so glad to finally have one so…read moreclose to home! For those unfamiliar with the process, everything it the same price, with that price going down each day until the store replenishes during the following weekly cycle. The art is always knowing which items are worth paying the price on the first day and which will likely persist later in the week so you can snag them on a cheaper day. I stopped by on a Saturday and got a $45 bag of specialty protein powder, a couple good things worth $30 a piece to sell on eBay, and some top-notch grooming products, each for only $7. This particular store has some great items, mostly Amazon returns though I did see some other items that imply there might also be undeliverable mail or other remainder resales. While many items are boxed, they have a place in the store where they will open the boxes for you to see if it's something you'll want before you buy. Knowing what day to go depends on what you're looking for: if you want to get good electronics or nice housewares for reasonable prices, going the first day of the cycle (Friday) is your best bet. If you are just casually looking for good deals, I recommend Monday or Tuesday since items are only a few bucks and you're almost certain to find something that piques your interest. I have rarely had much success on the final pre-reloading day, though you can always give it a shot to see if something catches your eye. Service was good and check-out was very fast, the joys of everything being the same price. Lots of lot parking, and the store was generally clean too, which is nice since stores of this nature can get messy quickly. All that said, this isn't a Target where you're going to get the perfect item right away, it's more of a treasure hunt: you may find an amazing deal, you may leave empty-handed. Go into it with an adventurous spirit and you're sure to have a great time! Overall: 5 out of 5 stars. ----- Pros: - Excellent selection of items and great deals. - Lots of parking in the lot. - Store is quite clean. - Good/quick check-out service. Cons: - None, though I always tell people: if you hate a bargain hunt, don't come to a bargain store and expect anything different. If you like some retail adventure, this is worth a stop for sure!

That said, the key to stores like this are selection, visibility, and price, and this place is only okay in all three regards. Came here at the recommendation of another Yelper who also enjoys deals. The fact that I came straight here after a visit to somewhat-close-by Discount Depot provides a good point of comparison: while this place has a fair number of bins, you can search through everything thoroughly in about 20 minutes due to its size. While prices are fairly standard for this kind of store, they certainly did not have much on the $10 day (Fri/Sat) that merited spending $10 on. Indeed, most of the boxes here are wrapped up so tight with no labels whatsoever that you can't really be sure what you're getting at all. A gentleman informed me that you could take boxes up front to be checked, though how manageable of an approach is that when each bin has a hundred mystery boxes? A better approach would be for them to open them, write on the side what it is, and put it in the bins, though maybe that's just not worth it to them. All things considered, while I might swing by again if I happened to be in the area (especially on one of their cheaper days), it's not worth going out of your way for. If you want a much better volume of options (most of which you can actually see what you're getting), head down the road for Discount Depot. Overall: 3.0 stars ---- Pros: - Lots of parking. - Prices are great after a few days, though on the $10 days not so much. - Store interior is clean and inviting. Cons: - Boxes are wrapped up so tight you won't know what half of the items there are. - Not as much selection as other stores of this nature. - This area has some security risks, so aim to come during daylight hours if possible.

Love this place! We just discovered it through a Google search. It's not an antique store, but…read morerather a place where retail displays go for a second chance at life. From the moment you walk in, you can look 360 degrees around you and find all kinds of interesting things. Pictures, figures, frames, mannequins, signs, furniture, and the list goes on. The people there are extremely friendly and willing to help find what you may have come for, if they have it. They have wish lists and will keep you in mind if they come across that odd item you just need to have. This isn't like any antique or home decor place you've been to. This place is a feast for the senses. We ended up leaving with 2 signs, an old stained glass window, and 4 display figures. We'll be going back soon since they get stuff in frequently. I was an hour and half south of us but well worth the trip! 1/29/13 - UPDATE Apparently they are going out of buisness? We went down there on Sunday after not having visited in a while. We were sad to see signs on the outside advertising the closing. Nothing on the website gave any indication of this. We tried to inquire a number of times about their status and whether or not they were closing or moving. We got the brush off each time so who knows what they are doing. The "sale" started in November so there really isn't much of anything left. Sad. This place was great and we've bought quite a bit from them. Oh well. :(

My first visit was to check out the inventory of the store and I actually purchased two shades that I initially saw on the 'Shades of Light' website; of course the 'Decorating Outlet' price was reduced! The shades were too large for my needs, so I had to return them. The sales associates were wonderful and completely accommodating during both my visits. I was delayed by traffic prior to my second visit, I called the store and they waited at least five minutes after the store hours. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly and assisted in finding proper shades in the correct size/color. I highly recommend taking your lamp and material swatches along when you shop, it would have saved me a trip. I cannot speak highly enough of the ladies that assisted me...the shades are perfect!

And, I can hit it on my way to my monthly pilgrimage to WIlliams & Sherrill. It's right on Midlothian at the front of a small shopping center and in the summer, they have a fabulous sidewalk sale. If you covet designer drapes that would normally cost $500 a panel, you can get them at this sale for 50% off or more. I bought a really cool black and white toile lampshade at the sale a couple of years for $10. The store itself is pretty small and has mostly lamps, shades and drapes, but there are a few pieces of statuary and other arty home accents. Ask for help from a salesperson for browsing the little room of drapery in the back as it's pretty crowded and stuffed with merchandise, so it's hard to find what you're looking for in the right lengths.
