    This Job Lot is located off of Silas Dean Highway in Wethersfield. It is a much larger location…read morethan other ones I've been to. There are so many odds and ends available for purchase. This is not the easiest store to navigate nor is it the most organized. There are snacks galore, from crackers, to nuts, chocolate, and cereal, plenty of that. You'll find carpets, area rugs, door mats, etc.. I wasn't looking for furniture, but I think you could find some odd nightstands or a small table. When my pup was still alive, I would pick up all sorts of necessities for him from Job Lot, including the extendable leash, poopy bags, treats, etc... The items on the shelves aren't always marked with the prices, this is pretty frustrating. I have to always go to the price check machine to see the cost. And finding one in this store is a mission. Most items are a small fraction of what you would pay at Target or a grocery store. If you can find your size and color preference in a bathing suit, they are only $5 - $10. Overall this was a good shopping experience at Ocean State Job Lot.

I stock up on my favorite teas here and the Bob's Red Mill selection is better than any grocery store near me. The "Eat for Free" section is also a great deal. In this section, any food that you buy gets you a "Crazy Deal" gift card for the same price. Last time I was there, I picked up a bunch of Cheerios cups for the local food bank.

My husband and I hired services from All My Sons from our move out of our apartment in New Britain CT to a house in Manchester CT (about 21 mile distance) on August 9, 2026. We were quoted about $1200-1300. We were initially told that the movers would arrive between 8am-9:30am; however, due to a scheduling error on the fault of the dispatchers, the movers did not arrive until about 1pm. This means that it was much hotter at that time of the day than it would have been earlier in the day. Despite us informing the company that our apartment was on the 3rd floor with no elevator, the three movers that came were complaining often about the temperature and that there was no elevator. We provided water but the fact there wasn't an elevator was part of the reason we hired movers in the first place. The movers often remarked on how it should have been a 5-6 man job, that it was so hot, and continued to complain about the dispatchers/ company as a whole. The movers did not use straps on the stairs AND did not use mats when moving furniture, which most likely contributed to the strain that the movers probably felt. However, we had provided that information in advance, so I'm not sure why straps were not present and why they did not use mats when they were available. Also since they decided not to use the mats available, they left scrapes on the floor of the apartment as they took furniture out. In addition, the lead guy was very talkative and was often telling stories of past customers including one story of someone "shaking her a** in his face" and he referred to someone else being a "prostitute". It was so uncomfortable for me that I left the room when he was around. They informed us that they didn't feel comfortable carrying the bed frame down the stairs as a whole and despite initially telling us that they would do disassembly, the lead guy said "I don't think I can convince them to do that" referring to the other two movers who apparently had the tools. This left my husband and I to take apart the bed frame, which they would then carry the parts downstairs. After this, I ultimately left the apartment to go over to the house earlier than the movers or my husband. Once they did leave, my husband began following the truck to the house and passed them when the movers stopped at a convenience store for snacks. Once at the house, the complaints by the movers continued, especially about the company as a whole and that said company "suck balls". In addition, one of the movers made a reference that he shouldn't be in Manchester due to suing the police department, but he still continued to work. There was also another comment from the lead guy that "the stairs never end" even when the house had the air conditioning going and there were less stairs. One of the movers also complained about "not going down into the basement" loud enough for our parents (who were also helping at the house) to hear. We had the boxes and rooms in the house labeled which did make the move in process more pleasant for the movers to know where boxes were going and plus the lead guy stayed mostly in the truck unloading. Unfortunately, parts of the bed frame that had been disassembled were full of scratches and there were parts missing as we tried to put it back together. It took me a while to write this review as I didn't want to revisit the frustration that came with the day. However, as I continue to uncover scratches on furniture going on a month later, I feel obligated to let others know. My job involves working with people and I have job duties that others do not find pleasant to the point where they wouldn't want to do my job. Therefore, I relate to when jobs have difficult conditions; however, the unprofessionalism and complaints I experienced made me very upset. When they charged up more than quoted (about $1514 with a $100 deposit), I just wanted them gone and the experience over with. Looking at the receipt, they also charged $132 for tape, shrink wrap, mirror cartons, and mattress bags that they did not use as all of our belongings besides the bed frame had been fully wrapped or boxed prior to their arrival (including mattress in mattress bag).

You can find seasonal items, like artificial Christmas trees and other decor during the Christmas season and outdoor lounge and beach chairs during the summer season. There's all kinds of odd things you may find here depending on when you go. However, I mostly go for gas. Gas is about 15 - 20 cents less expensive here then other gas stations. It's currently above the $4.40 mark. Depending on when you go, the line can move decently quickly. I like that the hose can reach either side of your vehicle. So you don't have to pick and chose the line. Since this is a club, you must be a member to shop here. Its $55 for the year, or $25 if it's your first time joining. How much you shop here, answerers the question is it worth the membership fee. Personally I share a membership with my family. I don't shop here often because most items are in bulk and I just don't need most things in bulk. It makes sense to split the big tub of grapes with another person, but sometimes that's just a hassle. BJ's offers a good variety of home and grocery goods, as well as some additional services. I got winter tires here for my previous car one year, and it was the best price I could find in the area. BJ's might be a good club to join depending on what your family's needs are.

The product mix in the store has increased dramatically. It appears that some of the economical items are being replaced by more expensive ones. In some cases, things are more expensive here than at regular supermarkets. Is this how you save a lot?

Just because it's Save A Lot does not always mean they are the cheapest or have the best sales on everything. Or that you should buy only here and not somewhere else. For example I don't buy ANY meats here because they always have a weird spongey taste to them. I have made that awful mistake a few times, even when buying different things like ground beef or even the pork chops on a couple occasions. They tasted awful! But for all other items including produce and canned goods there are usually good sales. My experience here is the frutis and vegetables are fresh most of the time, not all the time but most of the time. The store employees are also always willing to help, and don't make you feel like you're a bother to them which happens a lot in other stores. The one area of improvement: the floors could be a lot cleaner. There are scuff marks all over the floors which could be buff out with some effort, but overall I would recommend shopping here. (For everything but meat products)
