Bottom Line: Large store, wide aisles and lots of discounted stuff…read more My husband and I had about an hour to kill before boarding the ferry for Lewes so I decided to stroll around Big Lots. I think I've only been in a Big Lots one other time and it was years ago so I wasn't sure what to expect. On a Friday evening there were not too many shoppers in there which is just how I like it, especially during COVID! I enjoyed meandering the aisles looking at all sort of goodies like kitchen gadgets, Christmas decorations, cleaning supplies and snack foods. In the end I left with a Trolls coloring book, some Haribo gummy candy, a few bottles of water and some puzzles. Regarding the puzzles, my husband and I do lots of 1,000 piece puzzles and I was able to get several at Big Lots for only $6 whereas I usually pay at least $11 at Target or $20 at a specialty puzzle store. Funny enough, one of the puzzles that Big Lots had for $6 I had previously purchased at Hershey Park for $20! The cashiers were nice and check out was easy. Not a fancy store but overall a good experience!

This Big Lots, located in the same shoping center as Acme on Bayshore Rd, is well equipped with their standard merch, but has intelligently expanded stock on items most needed in the many rental properties nearby. It makes sense that affordable furniture/home goods offerings would be in constant demand, and Big Lots, just off island, would do really well this close to the homes on island (as well as for all the locals in North Cape May and beyond). I noticed many items on the shelves that I found in my rental, so clear evidence of how they're put to use. Likely because this store does so well, I was delighted to find more variety in every department (items that I don't see at stores nearer me), as well as more stock on everything available. I ended up with a fun dog toy for only $5, which my dog has enjoyed way beyond $5 in the few days he's had it. I also got a kid's xylophone for $3 (regular price, not sale), which is rare to find so inexpensive. The bars are metal with the rest plastic, so quality is decent enough to make some fun noise, and I don't worry about my son breaking it like his wood and metal one. For some reason there were a crazy number of pillows all over this store. I could not get away from the pillows. I guess that is another item in high demand at the beach? If you need pillows, Big Lots has 'em. All in all, if you need something to equip your rental, or if you're vacationing and require any home goods, toys for the kids, dog stuff, or junk food groceries, this is a great place to stop! I didn't see staff on the floor, and checkout was friendly but a little apathetic. So this is why I took a star off. But in terms of store cleanliness, merch presentation, ease of navigating store, and stock availability, they deserve 5 stars.

I was very disappointed in the childrens clothing. They can only sell what they get donated but I noted condition issues and not much available in some sizes. I thought many of the items should have been on rack of 50 cent items because of the heavy wear of the items. Specialty items like nice gift items, vintage and antique items have antique shop prices not thrift shop. Maybe they need the high prices to support their location costs and their charity support. But there are very few deals. However they have a few racks of $1 items and clearance, and we've picked up several great deals hidden away on these racks. I have also found some nice shoes on my visits. I like this thrift shop but I agree with other reviews about prices. I did see a dress from a designer I know gets $200 new for a dress retail that was $20 in this store, but the dress itself was going to be looking for that one buyer who would look good in the dress. Just because a dress is designer doesn't make it valuable if no one wants it! Anyway, I think it is worth a trip and remember to bring your own bags and ask about discounts.

Sunset Beach is a must-visit every time I go to the Jersey Cape - have watched the ship off shore slowly be reclaimed by the elements. It has also been interesting to watch the little shops slowly expand and update from year to year - now featuring plenty (usually) of parking, a mini golf course, a small but nice restaurant, nearby concrete WWII tower converted to a museum, etc. I have noticed that the Cape May Diamonds® are thinning out a bit compared to the late 70s, but there are still plenty to find - which makes this a great location to take the kids & the great thing is you don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to. Also, there is a reason for the name - great location to watch sunsets out over the bay! Highly recommended!
