I wanna start this review by saying how much I already love job lot. Job lot is probably one of my…read morefavorite stores. It literally has everything that you can need and has the best specials. Best prices best Crazy deals. I normally don't go to this location because it's not close to my house, but I happen to be in Sturbridge and I saw the job lot so I was like I'll stop by. The store was amazing and way better than the location that I normally go to. They even sell liquor at this location, which is amazing. Although you can't use a Crazy Deal gift card to purchase it, which is totally fine. But this store was like a large larger store and they had so much great stuff so many great snacks and great candy selection. The only thing I will say is the dog treat selection was slim compared to the location i normally go to, but overall I love this store.

But today, we saw something in their Sturbridge, MA store we had never seen before. They sell wine! Yes, they had a big sign in the shape of a wine bottle hanging from ceiling wires directing us to their wine and beer section. I didn't see much beer, but I sure saw quite a few bottles of wine. Who knew? That was just one of the revelations we had while shopping in their aisles today. The main revelation was just how large and neat and well stocked this store is. Their pricing is about the same as we've seen in other OSJLs, and that means pricing is pretty good. We spent a teense over $20 on an eclectic assortment of Polar Orange Dry soda ($1.99 for a six-pack), a container of curry powder (OSJL is our "go to" store for spices), parchment paper, some beef jerky and beef sticks, some soup and entrée mixes, two boxes of tissues, a container of chicken broth, a box of cereal, and a container of breadcrumbs. A very nice haul for the price. OSJL is an interesting franchise -some locations are small, cluttered, and unpleasant to shop in. Not here, we had a great experience, even if we didn't come out with a bottle of wine. Cheers!

I came here for the first time today after hearing that they had discounted food items. I thought…read moreit was a pretty cool store, it kind of reminds me of a flea market. It has the familiar feel and smell of a flea market. So just as the store name states, it has a little bit of everything from frozen foods, snacks, canned goods, sauces.. to pet stuff, appliances, clothes, household items etc. I scored some good deals on cat litter, frozen foods, snacks, and bottled water. I would suggest checking the expiration dates on foods prior to buying as some stuff have been expired for some time. Other things are expiring within a few months.. then there are other things not expiring for a year so just check. The cool thing is that they seem to have something for everyone when it comes to food items. They had gluten free stuff, organic, and vegan food items as well as other foods. I found some products that I've seen at Whole Foods for much cheaper that weren't expired either. I had some luck finding some stuff today, but I guess it's hit or miss and just depends on what's in stock when you come. If you see something you like, it's probably a good idea to stock up on it because it might not be there the next time you go. Parking lot is huge so there shouldn't be an issue with parking. Yelp says it's closed on Sundays, but that is incorrect. I went today (Sunday) and it was opened. They take credit cards, but there is a $5 minimum.

If you like hunting for a good deal and don't mind digging around in random assortments of things,…read morethis is the place for you. This place is sort of a cross between the old Building 19 and Job Lot, full of closeouts, random merchandise, and overstocks from other retailers. I usually only visit here once a year to stock up on full size candy for Halloween because they have the cheapest prices around. (just be sure to check expiration dates!) Follow them on social media where they highlight weekly specials and deals.

Every day there's a different price for the items in their display bins. I visited on Thursday - the $3 day I wasn't impressed. At that point most items were in broken, opened boxes. Clothing is always $5 an item & I found a costume for my 5 year old's costume bins but that was pure luck. Shoes are $8 no matter what day. I like thrill of the hunt thrift stores but this was too disorganized for me. I'll try some Saturday to see if the stock is better on a higher priced day.

Really need to search to find the treasure. One day the store is packed and bins are half full (half empty?) with open and incomplete boxes. Other days it's full, but price is not worth it.

Or a Saturday Night Live inspired coffee mug? Perhaps a magnet with something about your horoscope? Rubber gloves? Cheap sweatshirt? Socks? Butt paste for babies? Seriously - this store is a blast. We always find awesome randomness that we didn't know that we needed (or even wanted) before we walked in there. Last year we found fantastic, really old baseball cards (don't eat the gum!!) and this time a combination of a great little gardening item, electrical tape, doorstops and a Northampton magnet!

This store is a real trip - you will find one helluva totally random section of cheap crap everywhere. They have a wall full of "Slightly Out of Date" over the counter cold remedies and pain killers, cheap greeting cards, cheap Tee Shirts, cheap baseball caps, cheap school supplies, cheap socks and candy and sunglasses, and more varieties of masking tape than I ever knew existed. We picked up a long sleeve T shirt and some packing tape for a fraction of what we would have paid anywhere else. LOL- totally random stuff indeed !

"I've tried and tried to no avail You just can't seem to let…read moreme down You drive a hard bargain" (Emmylou Harris) We enjoy our bargain stores and are fans of Ocean State Job Lot, Big Lots and Ollies. Two days ago, we made our first visit to the Ollies on Grafton Street in Worcester. We picked up our "go to" Ollies staples -coffee K Cups (BTW, we do recycle them) and found some very good values on $4 or $5 for a box. Although we did get some good values, we thought the overall coffee inventory was lower than in other Ollies. We usually pick up some odds and ends in the food section and Ollies had a good selection of soups and salsas. One odd thing I saw was a trend of messiness in some of the store's sections. There were area rugs dumped all over the floor in one aisle. Now of course, I don't know how that happened, nor how long that mess was there, but I suspect a slovenly customer was looking at merchandise and couldn't have been bothered by picking up the mess they had carelessly created. But why on earth hadn't an employee noticed and remedied that mess? Another example of inattention was how the big cartons of K Cups were stacked; it looked as though their forklift or pallet jack operator had a few too many adult beverages before saying "that messy off-center precariously leaning stack is EXACTLY the way I wanted it too look". Overall, we had a typical Ollies experience, and that's a good one!

It's very…read moresimilar to the Building 19 store because it was the original Building 19 store until Ollie's took it over. Very handy but useful things you can buy that's very reasonable or cheap. Actually some prices are not the cheapest but if you look, you can find some deals. From books, to garden care, to home ware, to some foods, even big appliances like air conditioners, school supplies, sports, toys, they might just have it. Not everything but you have to look. That's why you would come. To find a deal. It's not the best looking store or tidy,but that's the vibe here. Bargains, bargains, like at a warehouse. What's fun is actually to read the signs in the store. They are funny and very original. It's in a plaza with other stores, so there's plenty of parking. If in the area, I would check it out. But I wouldn't drive all the way just for a bargain. You could go to Big Lots, Ocean State Job Lot for similar items and in a nicer looking store. But you would miss out on the signs that advertise this store. That was the only thing I enjoyed.

Not everything thing is greatly discounted (if you know your prices on specific items) but there's LOTS that are at unbeatable prices. They have an amazing book department--recent bestseller hardcover books as low as $3.99! Comic Book Trade Paperbacks--many listed $19.99 for $3.99, too!. I got a hardcover oversized edition of the DC miniseries "Watchmen" listed for $40.00 for $7.00! Star Wars and Super Hero action figures for half the price than what Walmart sells them for. Excellent deals on cereals plus items like coffee (40 kcups box for just $9.99 on one brand). Great prices on items such as body wash and shampoos. Cool discounted electronics. I bought a floor turbo fan for $30.00. They sell some really nice rugs plus bath, bed & kitchen items, super cheap car items like windshield wipers and seat covers, yard items and more! The staff is friendly and you can see they work hard so treat them nice---they're helpful and accommodating (hope it stays that way). Every Thursday is when the new stock comes in. They give 15% off coupons on their rewards program. I take a trip there weekly to discover great bargains--especially on books, toys and food! I hope this store sticks around and continues to offer great discounted items and great service. We need a store like this-- especially during this horrendous economy in 2023.
