Ollie's is not a place I shop at often, but my mother loves it for lots of reasons. They did…read moregreatly impress me recently. My mum wanted a particular coffee maker and we had been driving all over town looking for it, just to find out that everyone was sold out. We came home and in the mail was an Ollie's flyer with an ad for that exact coffee maker! (No wonder no one had it. Ollie's is a discount store, specializing in close-outs.) It was already dinner time and mum was all upset thinking that it would be sold out by the next morning. I told her to call this store to see if they even had any before she started to worry. She called and spoke to someone who said they had a couple and promised they would hold one for her. To be honest, I wasn't that hopeful, but guess what? She showed up in the morning and not only did they have it, it was wrapped up with her name on it and safely stashed under a casher's counter waiting for her. So, besides a just nice place to get cheap snacks, discontinued stuff, and books for kids, it's also a place with really honest workers who go out of their way to make sure an elderly woman gets a coffee maker.

This store was a disaster on my first visit. Entire rows completely blocked on both sides by…read morepallats of wrapped merchandise. Shouldn't these be in the back and brought out in small carts so on a Saturday afternoon your customers can get to the merchandise? Isles were strewn with merchandise everywhere. The lady said they had been super busy with the 15% off coupon that was sent to Ollie's Army Rewards members. I also got a 10% off coupon for my shopping level. Wish they would have separated these out so there weren't two coupons both expiring in November. The one thing I came for (protein bars) they had a very limited stock. That is one challenge with Ollie's because merchandise is constantly changing and is different from location to location. If they would cleanup the merchandise and remove the pallets the rating would go from 3 to 4 or 5. Checkout was quick and efficient. The register operator was nice.

The prices at Big Lots in general have been creeping up in recent years but you can still find some bargains if you look. What really made this Big Lots stand out was there was a super nice lead associate that tried to find an item for us to no avail. She also went looking and found another item similar to it and looked for us to show it to us. That service doesn't happen at other Big Lots locations. We'll be back

Let's set the record straight from the start - this is a deep discount grocery store. It isn't…read morePublix, Winn Dixie, WalMart or even Piggly Wiggly. Nope, this is a store in a run-down strip mall that specializes in selling close-to or out-of-date items. Looking for fancy shelving and floors so clean you can eat off them? Go elsewhere. It's obvious this has been at least a couple of other stores long before this company showed up. What you get is a neatly stacked store with items that seem to vary depending upon what they get at any given time. Buy when you see it or possibly lose out. Is some of it outdated? You betcha. However, there is a catch with those manufacturer dates - they are made up. I recently discovered there are very little federal or state regulations concerning those dates; however, manufacturers know you'll ditch something out of fear even if the can or product still looks good. Today I found RC sugar-free cola, 12 pack cans, for $2. In case you're wondering, Walmart has them on "sale" for $5.88. Tastes the same but now I can get 36 cans instead of 12. And how about the Clorox misting spray refill at $1? It sells for $6.78 at Walmart. Now I can get nearly 7 for the price of 1. This list goes on. Since I buy only those items in cans or sealed bottles, I can't comment on the meats, bagged crackers and bread; however, if you consume those perishable items quickly you should be okay. In fact, I have a friend who buys his meats here and cooks them on the grill the same day. He loves the place for the cheap pricing. Staff is attentive and friendly, an oddity given the low bucks nature of the store, but don't let the looks of the store bother you. Like I stated, if you're a neat freak, go elsewhere. As you might imagine, they don't take coupons but they do accept credit cards. If you want deals galore, come here and come often!

I came here as a last ditch effort to get some empty fillable Easter eggs for the Easter Bunny's…read moreegg hunt. It was getting late and stores were closing everywhere. Well no dice on the eggs, BUT I did find an alternative! It actually worked out even better. Since we had spent the day at Legoland, I found building block party favor boxes in the party section. They were PERFECT! Four boxes in a pack, all for $1! You bet your beautiful face I bought them out of those things! This location seems to have seen better days, but as compared to most Dollar Trees I've been to, I have to give it to the team at this location. The store was well organized and tidy. No boxes in the aisles. My home store in Georgia is usually always packed and due to the traffic, the staff can't seem to keep up with the stocking of the shelves. So I'm not sure if this store doesn't have the traffic problem, but as a customer, it was nice to shop in an organized shop! I had about 10 minutes left before closing, so I didn't really get a chance to take my time and peruse the aisles, but I still walked out with $20 worth of stuff. As for the Lego eggs, my kids were so impressed with the Easter Bunny's attention to detail ... wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Happy kid, happy Momma. It's the little things! *COVID-19 Observations* - Staff wore masks Stay safe, Friends!

We go to Dollar General to pick up things quickly (instead of having to run into a super center or grocery store,) so this concept makes it a lot easier to grab more things you may need without the hassle of a larger grocery store. They honestly have everything- from fresh meats and produce to canned and shelf stable foods, deli meats and cheeses... And even an international aisle! Granted, it's small, but it definitely lives up to its purpose. The aisles are wider in the normal section of the store, and it's surprisingly kept up very well. I was even stoked to find the new Milo's EXTRA sweet tea- and it was amazing! I'll definitely be back, (even if it's just for the tea!)
