There are certain quirky charms I enjoy in Florida, especially in Hudson, Florida. One of them is…read morepartaking in the shopping experiences of the discount stores that sell randommarked down items and expired food products. It's a real adventure in all sorts of ways, but like driving with your shirt off in summer, it can be liberating. I would steer clear of the dry goods, but have gotten some good candy and beverages. You never know what kind of stuff you will find amongst the other goods. The workers are all very nice and they are helpful to people in the community who are struggling. This store can be a fun little exploration. I try not to eat candy, but who can resist when you can get it four bars for a dollar??? Twizzlers, rice krispie treats, hundred grand bars, sour straws, power bars, they suck me in!!!! HELP!!! I'm going native. :)

Tech items are worth a comparison online, tho usually competitive for open-box gear. Many $5 clothes now too. Love the staff, always a humored, witty help! -1/2 star for moths in dry grains (don't store them for long) -1/2 star manager refusal to honor price on items (sure, margins are small- but jacking up the price AT the register does not endear you to anyone, is technically illegal) Bring a bag, fill up on coffee, cake-mix & cosmetics CHEAP!

The Dollar & More shop is a little overwhelming. You need to take a deep breath before you walk in…read morebecause the aisles and aisles of deeply discounted merchandise can be much. I'm sure there's an organizing system at work here, but I couldn't figure it out. And they have such a wide variety of stuff that listing them would be cutting them short. Wheels for wheelbarrows or small trailers. Masking tape. Spring-loaded laundry baskets. Broom handles. Tire pumps. Pictures. Dresses and fabric. Plastic storage bins. Roasting pans. I'm just... what the heck is a wood chopping axe doing here? It's all new. And there is a LOT of it.

She went out of her way to find the owner of a cellphone somebody left there. The store has many, many, MANY baskets of all kinds of goodies as well as larger items like mirrors, model-houses and weird stuff you couldn't think of even if you tried while on heavy drugs and talking to the dragons in the kitchen. Would definitely go there again when I'm in the neighborhood!

They focus on helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and do a super job. As part of their fund-raising efforts, they run numerous ARC Resale locations where they resell donated goods and it's the Avon Park resale location that I'm reviewing today. My mother recently passed away and I had a need to donate a great deal of stuff she had accumulated over 94 years of life. I chose these folks Arriving- It's right on Main Street about a minute from US Route 27 and it's a snap to find. Parking is simple. Donating- Easy peasy! The customer service folks explained clearly what they could take and why they didn't except certain items. It was painless and quick. Shopping- Let's assume you've been to other places that sell donations. This place is clean and organized like the competitors. The staff is just fine. Pricing- Unfortunately I'm deducting One star as they seem to price higher than all the competitors. They make up for that a bit by having selected days with discounts like Seniors Day etc. However, the standard pricing, in my opinion, needs to be adjusted. Conclusion- Even with the pricing blip this is a fine organization doing good work and the store is worth a look, especially on discounted days!

Ollie's is a chain of discount stores. The first store was founded on July 29, 1982 in…read moreMechanicsburg, Pennsylvania by Mark Butler, Mort Bernstein, Harry Coverman, and Oliver "Ollie" Rosenburg. You will see Ollie's bucktooth grin along with funny sayings all over the store. In 1994 the company started their loyalty program called Ollie's Army which you can sign up for on their website. For every $1 you spend, you get one point. Points move you up the rank and earn you discount coupons off your purchase. According to the company, Ollie's Army get you "good stuff...even cheaper". Currently there are 408 stores in 28 states, several of which are in Florida. Ollie's purchases company liquidations, overstocks, and older items that haven't sold, and resells them in their stores for a discount. You can expect to see name brand items. Ollie's sells a little of everything, cleaning supplies, garden items, books, toys, food, health and beauty, automotive, holiday decorations, home improvements, electronics, flooring, housewares, and so much more. I had previously shopped in the West Palm Beach and Delray stores and they were great for stocking up on hurricane supplies. Ollie's always has a ton of inexpensive K-cups and cheap and unusual snacks. I usually grab some candy as incentives for the kids at school. On this trip I found the snack size bags I use to pack portion controlled snacks for my school lunches. This is the kind of store where you come in for one thing and pretty soon you have a cart full of stuff. Check back often because the merchandise changes frequently and you will always find something new.

Never been to a bin place but always wanted to explore. This was right across from where we ate so…read morewe decided to go browse. Wasn't too busy. They have basically Amazon returns in various bins and prices posted. There are also special deals on pricing depending on the day of the week. We found items in the $2 bins for products we use and pay way more for when we order on Amazon. So I did grab those given the discount. The other bins are just hard to explore. Things are in shipping boxes or brown boxes without clear packaging on what the item is. They do have the Amazon sticker so you could scan that to find out but it's going to take time. Staff was friendly and answered our questions. They did have queen mattresses for $300 also.
