So this is the new Home Goods on 82nd Ave in Portland. It's been pretty hyped up by my friends but…read moreI had never been here. So I was in the area and stopped. Huge parking lot in a strip mall with many businesses. It was dark when I arrived and the parking lot was pretty dim with some lights burnt out. I don't like dark parking lots so found a light to park under. First thing I noticed when through the doors was Valentines items. I picked out a couple cards, cute red waffle iron and a set of kitchen towels for a gift. As I proceeded back further into the store there were several empty rows and a couple more partially empty rows. I was hoping for more but this location was pretty non-impressive. The one is Tualatin is wonderful and chuck full of items. They do charge for bags, 5 cents.

Yay, there is a new HomeGoods on SE 82nd! My car seemed to spot it before I did! While I was…read moreheading south towards Michael's, my car turned left down the drive towards HomeGoods, located in the strip mall with PetSmart. They took over an abandoned store, can't remember what was there, just know that having a HomeGoods here will definitely revitalize this little area. People were coming and going and it was quite crowded for a rainy Sunday. Maybe it's the time of year, but the large store footprint was not filled with goods like most HomeGoods. Many shelves and entire sections were bare. Like all HomeGoods, they had all the usual suspects - seasonal, gourmet food and snacks, gourmet chocolate, art, bedding, kitchen gadgets, bakeware, storage, small furniture, rugs, home decor, pet toys, beds and bowls, lamps, towels, pillows, bath accessories, faux plants and more! My favorite section is the gourmet food. It's a challenge for me to leave a HomeGoods without a bag of artisanal pasta! They have so many varieties and shapes not found in grocery stores in the PNW so when I see them, I have to purchase! I'm from an Italian American family with roots in NJ where the pasta aisles at grocery stores are a full aisle! So this section thatba,so contains olive oils, aged balsamic, roasted peppers, capers, pesto, artichoke tapenade and other Italian pantry items makes me very happy. The seasonal section is also a must. Right now it's exploding with all things pink, red, hearts and love for Valentine's Day. Those gnomes that used to be relinquished to the garden now find themselves dressed up for every season. Shelves filled with gnomes wearing pink hats and sweaters dominate this section. I'm in this area frequently running errands so no doubt this will become a regular stop.

Next time I might need a tour, as I don't think I got to taken in the entire place or how it was organized. I particularly loved their giant signs, as well as their life-size animals. I was not expecting that! Prices for more typical household furniture seemed high to me, even in the clearance section. But I could tell there were some steals for smaller decor items. I would definitely come back for both inspiration, and if I were shopping for a specific piece. Maybe someday I'll have the chance to buy one of those big signs...!

It's hard for me to leave without any even though I have way too many plants. In addition to house plants, they have plants for outdoors, too, They are outside in back. Make sure to check it out. So many wonderful gifts for yourself or a friend.

It's definitely enough to make a beautiful bowl garden. You can also upgrade to a larger vessel, purchase more or larger crystals, etc. My friends and I all did different types of terrariums with different plants, but they all came out so beautifully. It was a lovely event to do with friends and then we all came home with a souvenir. Many thanks to Jude for helping us with our class - you were lovely and we appreciate your attention and guidance.

I'm so glad my husband was with me or else I would have gone overboard. The selection of goods was incredible, you could find just about everything there. The staff were friendly and kind.

The next time we're in Portland we will definitely come back!

This is my favorite store in Portland…read more I bring all of my out-of-town guests here. There's so much variety, but everything has the same basic characteristic: cool factor. The store curators share their finds from around the world and provide a place for local artisans to sell their wares. It's an experience just to browse the creative merchandising and super fun to hunt for little things to bring home. The back right corner (from the entry) is a delightful treat. The back left corner has an incredible book collection. Downstairs almost feels like you're in a warehouse for an enchanting movie set. I love it!

I will definitely suggest dropping in if you need inspiration for any holiday or season. I usually drop into the Washington Square location and just happened to be here. I definitely did not leave empty handed. Today was about accessories. I found the cutest pair of black socks with white flowers on them which is so me! I am big into wearing black and white and these are so unique! I also grabbed some amazing incense, some candy and I have started collecting clear glass bottles. I could not resist one for $1.99. That is the thing... their prices are so incredible for very quality things. I find great hair accessories, bath products, snacks, home décor... just wander around... you will find lots of things. The cashier also hooked me up with more discounts and a coupon. It is great that they actually care. I really appreciate that as a customer. But, pro tip is finding inspiration. I have found some unique food item, wine or something that I planned a whole party around from wander through this store.

I was pleasantly surprised there wasn't that horrible off-gassing smell at similar type places. However, they did have some kind of odd blinky holiday lights that made annoying noises throughout my visit. I toured each aisle and there wasn't anything to my liking but I can see where a new Asian restaurant could completing outfit their establishment with everything they need. It was nice to see they had real plants! I would consider returning for those or maybe some of their pots. Prices were okay, not great. According to many handmade signs, they take shoplifting seriously!

I wanted to see if there is a Kmart near the area so I did a Yelp search for Kmart, this Portland Closeout store popped up. After glancing at Yelp photos, the 20 % off Yelp check in caught my eye, and the funny t-shirts, the ones on their profile pic. I asked my personal Uber driver ( my other half) to take me. You will not miss this place, there is a huge business sign and parking is available on both sides of the lot. I don't know where to begin looking, the store is clutter but it is a good clutter. There are tons and tons of stuff. Its like a one stop shop, Things you need in Chinatown and the flea market combined together. I am pretty sure you will find something you don't need but actually need here. Just like my experience here. I had fun looking around, Lets see this shop is HUGE! There are sandals, shoes, clothing for mens, womens, children, tshirts, hats, make up, hair accessories, phone accessories, even blankets. If you can't find what you are looking for, ask the owner, she is super friendly. I recall her name is Long. I had fun talking to her and she helped me find what I was looking for. As I mentioned I found 2 items that I didn't need but needed. I saw 2 hats , I didn't think I needed it but bought it for my mom and good friend. ( they both love hats!) I came to shop not looking for hats and not needing it but then I am so glad I bought them because my mom and good friend loved the hats. I also bought those funny saying shirts to give away as souvenirs. They are pretty funny! I was able to use my 20 percent Yelp check in and I am so happy to discover a new place in Portland. I noticed the blankets are cheap, they are the really soft blankets which comes in different color, prints, and even comes with a bag. I remember those blankets, during my childhood days my mom used to buy that blanket for us and I remember they cost more than what Portland Closeout sells them for. I am going to buy a blanket next time I visit. After paying for my items, Long mentioned that her husband is at the store across. Note: Portland Closeout is in 2 separate shop. The store is in front where Long's husband manage has all household items for your kitchen, home and garden which includes furniture, plants, even paintings. This store does look clutter as well, but its a good clutter!! I noticed children's bicycles out in front. This store has EVERYTHING!! Overall, I love how I discovered this place and I enjoyed my shopping experience here. I will be back. If you just moved to Portland, Please check out Portland Closeout, I guarantee you will find products for your new place and you can thank me later!! #101/100/2017
