I'm a fan of bargain shopping. There are some low prices here but you have to search…read more You can get lucky sometimes. Other times, you pick up stuff and wonder why on earth isn't much more cheaper considering the quality? They have a system but I think they got rid of it and now it just depends. Most things are returns and overstock for Kmart, Target TjMaxx, BigLots and Walmart. At least that's what it looks like. The layout is kind of depressing but occasionally you come home with a deal. My favorite section is shoes and kitchenware. **** Please, please, please thoroughly inspect the things you find. I've opened boxes to see completely different items inside or damaged goods. Some things are stained so check towels, pillows, bed sheets etc before buying.

I bought my wife "garden roses" one time and she has not stopped telling people about them. Hint hint guys. Frozen food selection is one of the best I have ever seen. My wife loves the beauty and skin care products especially the body butter, the moisture surge that is just like Clinique but much more affordable, and the vanilla lip mask. Check out the candles! In the frozen food section the Indian food such as paneer masala and butter chicken are our go to buys. And again, the staff is awesome. So, ask them for suggestions or where to find something or for something you can't find.

When I tell you how excited I was to finally get a Trader Joe's in Hoover, I am not kidding because…read moreI was so happy. While the one on 280 was fine , this one is much closer to home. And much easier to park at. I absolutely love Trader Joe's because it has a little bit of everything, and at such affordable prices, even on organic items. I am a creature of habit, so I like to get all my meal prep in one place if all possible. The fruits, vegetables from Trader Joe's just taste better and I feel cleaner after enjoying them. The staff are always kind and offer compliments from time to time as well. Overall I love Trader Joe's is such a blessing to the Hoover Community and the surrounding areas.

Their clothing is definitely not of the best quality, but they are at too cheap to believe prices. I scored a cute summery top I can't wait to wear when the weather warms up. They also have a small home section. The checkout took a little longer than I wanted with only one person in line in front of me. The main thing they need to change is their fitting rooms. They are literally just out in the middle of the store, and the doors don't even meet the floor. I heard a little boy say hello to me, and even though I didn't see him....I heard his momma yell at him for looking under the door while I was changing. She told him not to ever do it again, so watch your back if you use their changing rooms!

To begin with, I never leave reviews so that should say something in itself. Secondly, this was the…read moremost pleasant shopping experience I've had in the memorable past. I was on the third store in my pursuit of bath bombs (stop judging me) when we stumbled into Burke's. The staff was more than helpful in engaging me in my lustful pursuit for them and they were just so friendly I felt the need to come here and leave this review. So if you, like me, are on the hunt for bath bombs and last seasons Essie nail colors, look no further. The staff themselves deserve five stars. I'll report back pending my personal experience with the bombs.

We arrived, paid her, and while there I saw and purchased a beautiful, quality onyx lamp my wife fell in love with. What great finds.
