[B&C is a closeout store] Firstly, I am going to say I do…read moreappreciate this store for a few reasons. For one, because of their merchandise finds. I do consider myself a big-time thrill seeker when it comes to extreme money saving shopping trips and when I can (examples: coupon shopping, loyalty points, store reset sales, price matching, scanning and finding those secret markdowns making items pennies on the dollar & major money saving items that are almost free). BUT there are so many times I am unable to get out & catch those sales and items so I appreciate having somewhere to go that I can get some items or cool finds below the normal retail price that you would have to pay at full price and those items coming from those same stores I would shop at normally, but found here. And some of the merchandise is extremely worth it. Bring as (I - myself) do those extreme shopping and money saving, studying in all those other stores quite often, and I know what items are a great buy and not so much. ***[Yes, they have food items. It's going to be normal that you will see expired dates but that does not mean that those items are no good, and necessarily not worth eating, but I guess that part is a personal preference to each customer and what they may or may not want to buy]. Just remember, you're getting a huge discount on those items, so don't be weird about it if you don't notice or know.*** Secondly, I love some Hunt's Brother's pizza! And they have it there! It's another central location that is easy to get to if you need a quick dinner that night or a bite to eat. I have already ordered some from there, and it's yummy Hunt's Brother's recipes for sure. They are also not at all on my 'extra cheese' requests that I must have every time!! Thirdly, I want to mention this last experience - only to give the owners some feedback and pointers. This mention and segment does not affect the rating nor my overall experience in any way, and definitely not the rating I'm giving them because every experience has been great for us thus far. This instance that happened isn't really that big of a deal to me personally, to be honest. (When it comes to large purchase items that are being sold for closeout, I would have an employee take a few extra minutes to over look those specific products and what it should come with, if anything to ensure all parts are there for the customer) Large as in $50 & up items. We know not all things are expected to be perfect at a store with closeout. With that being said, I am so thankful they do offer refunds / returns within a certain time frame if that does happen on big ticket items, which it did to me. (Which again it's not that big of a deal, I just wanted to mention it being as I was an assistant manager in the retail business for years and I know how those 'hard to make happy customers' can be, and I want to give the owner any & all feedback that I can that may help them be even more successful!)

This variety store has been in business for several years now and is locally owned and operated…read more Initially the prices were very good in comparison to your chain stores but as the years have gone by prices have gone up and if you can get to other places you'll more than likely find better deals however if a one stop shop very close to home is what you're after this is probably the place for you. They have a large frozen section with things such as chicken patties, curly fries, bosco sticks etc. They also have a deli where you can find several varieties of cheeses and meats that are cut to your specific order. You just need to fill out a card with your name and order and put it in the box and the workers will get your stuff ready as you do the rest of your shopping. You will find a lot of bulk items here that they have packaged into smaller more useful quantities. They have homemade noodles in varying degrees of sizes as well as homemade bread from a local bakery. They have also started carrying homemade donuts from a local bakery as well but did not have any available the day I was there so if donuts is what you're coming for you may want to check and make sure they have some. There are a few shelves with all natural products such as vitamins and herbs. You'll also find things like socks, underwear and kids toys. Truly a variety store! This place is located in the heart of Amish country and so outside you'll notice a large hitching rack for tying the horse and buggies to. They also have a decent sized parking lot for cars as well. Overall this is a nice little store with pretty much anything you'd ever hope to want and is a nice place to check out if you're ever in the area.

The cool thing about this store is that items have stickers on them dated with when they were received in store.

It is slightly hard to find items up to 90% off, but I thought this was a pretty cool feature. There are some very nice items in store, even if you may have to look for them, & it is definitely worth taking a look to see just what you can find. & who doesn't love a good deal & saving money!

One of my favorite things about Ollie's is that there is absolutely no other place in town I have found K-cups for Keurigs in 12-pack boxes for only $4! They have a huge selection of name brand K-cups in coffee, flavored coffees, cappuccinos, hot chocolates & tea. I come here all the time, just to see what I can find, & almost always leave with a cart full of merchandise! They also have a very wide range of toys for half of what I have found the exact same things priced at at other places. I love this store!

I'm old enough that I remember when Big Lots came to town. There were two versions, Big Lots and…read moreOdd Lots. When you walked in, you'd find cases and cases of random items just sitting in their open cases to be sold. As time went on, they also added buyouts from either store closures or extra inventory from a company. There would be sections of product that were simply inventory from some drugstore that no longer existed. As we see now, Big Lots is just sort of a glorified Dollar General. Which brings me to Ollie's! I saw an ad on TV, and wondered why, since I'd never heard of the place. It turns out that there's one about a half hour away. The commercial was interesting, and the website looked good, so I made the drive to check out OLLIE'S! I was actually kind of excited at first. Some of the categories were very clear and enticing. There was a very large book section, with everything from cook books to graphic novels to coloring books. Their arts supply had some interesting stuff, and there was truly a little bit of everything there. I was reminded of the old Big Lots when I saw the bulk items that were simply case cut and the cases were just all side by side. And let's be clear. The presentation was purely functional, not pretty by any means. Depending on what you are in the mood for, you are either going to be fairly happy or unimpressed with the prices. We picked up some art supplies.... a graphic novel, and a dog toy. The kitchen section had a really good selection of pans, knives, and other things. The lawn and garden section had some interesting items as well. The toys were just not that interesting. There were also pet supplies, cleaning products, and even some clothes. The few prices I checked weren't bad, but weren't exactly a huge savings either. Be careful if you buy ANY food products there. A lot of what I found was expiring within 30 days. Some had already expired, and to add insult to injury, whoever cut the cases cut into the product, so the packaging now let air leak in. These would be the golden oreos that expired a little over a week ago. If you're in the area, it's worth a few minutes of browsing if you want to see if you can find a deal. It's not really worth the drive from Bloomington, though. Between Big Lots, Menards, and Rural King, we've got some places with decent prices.

Worth coming to every once in a while to see what closeouts they have. I expect the comics will be more full after a few shipments.

That is the purpose of the store. 6/08 They kept my brother out of the store and banned him from buying because he happen to tell them that he was reselling stuff. Todd has some crazy Karen like misguided absurd rules to Remedy some kind of perceived and fictional unfairness. He is a nut. He will do something crazy outside of his job and get fired eventually. I quit shopping there myself hquite a long time ago after what I outline below... Was treated horribly due to sheer ignorance. Have spent thousands of dollars here and will not be giving them another red cent. Todd will make a deal and then complain about the deal he made the next time you come in. He's a low life deadbeat with zero integrity. The auction system, govdeals, is old and inefficient. Its probably because of cronyism. Its interface is from 1996 and its policies are obtuse. You can tell they have no worries they will loose the IU contract. They refuse more than 3 bids from any new user for an arbitrary amount of time. I bid, won, and picked up 3 items and still had my bids refused. I think they are funneling equipment to one specific party and are actively keeping new users from elevating the price of the equipment. I would speculate someone connected to govdeals is buying a very high % of the valuable equipment and allowing the public to bid is a sham. I can think of no other reason to use such an old and terribly inefficient process. They need to find a REAL auctioneer or online auction process. Send everything there and close this store. This is what every other university in the state does and hopefully someone at IU will wake up soon. Close it or find a real leader. Preferably an honest one. I just went and looked and GovDeals has had 39 BBB complaints in the last 3yrs not counting mine. Their accreditation status, REVOKED. Definitely
