They have what you need for less awesome place to walk around for a few minutes and find what you didn't know you needed or wanted to try.

I legit thought this was a job development center for like 7 years. It doesn't help that there really IS a workforce development program down the street lmao with a similar name. When I started getting advertisements and mailings and saw that this was actually a store, I paid more attention. When I saw that there was someone else who agreed with me that garden hoses shouldn't cost $50 and small ceramic potters should be less than $15, I knew we had to go. This store was a pleasant surprise! When I walked in it immediately reminded me of like a Roses or a Cost Cutters (lord I'm old smh). But it's basically a bigger Tuesday Morning/Christmas Tree Shoppes. The hoses - what I came for - were right in front. And the incredible prices on those encouraged me to look further. Because this economy sucks, I wasn't planning on buying anything extra. But the plant pots were great - colorful and with drainage holes. The food and cleaning supply aisles were also great. I picked up some toilet cleaner for a bargain. And my husband found windshield washer fluid for cheaper than Wallyworld. When we finished shopping, the person working the register was friendly and patient and had me sign up for the discount card. We will definitely be back - the only thing I like more than a bargain is great service. Today we got both!! read more

This is a new store in South Plainfield where the Macy's used to be. I got snow shoes here over Black Friday weekend for only $40. The purchase came with $20 gift card, which I used to get a winter hat and some socks. All around amazing deal. I also saw a lot of things that I had bought for a much greater price at other stores, such as accordion files. The next time I need an accordion file, I'm definitely coming here instead of Staples. One complaint I have is the woman at the register knocked my phone off the counter on purpose. She looked at where it was, then turned to the side and put her hand up at the same time, reaching over to knock it down. How hard is it to not hire sadistic, destructive people? read more

Always a great surprise as to what is available. The prices are very reasonable and sometimes you find unique products. I am never disappointed when I go to this store. read more

This place hits all the numbers for me. Low prices, wide selection. Just soooo many items it can be hard to find stuff. I just went for a power strip. I walked past it 5 times, but once I found it the price was right, and they had a decent selection. They have this olive oil I love and can only find here at the right price (dang, let out my secret! :-) read more

11/2/2019 between the hours 3:15pm-4:15pm Me and my husband found this place after a lunch date we had in the area. Pleasantly the store was very welcoming with its wonderful deals and very well organize inventory. Everything was great until we got to the register which ruined my entire first time experience to this location. There was a customer ahead of us with just one small item on the counter, and my husband then proceeded to add the items we intended to purchase on the counter. The cashier's name "Margaux" Store #554 Cashier#58638 Reg#5 Time 4:12pm quickly put her hand up towards my husband's face and said STOP without even looking him in the eye. I seen my husband's reaction and I then asked why are you not putting the items on the counter? He told me that the cashier said stop, and I noticed the customer in front looking like wow, how rude of the cashier when he himself was just waiting for transaction to close out. I then looked at her and she was looking at the register, then she started scanning our items no greeting, no nothing as to why she told my husband to stop, absolutely Nothing. I then proceeded to greet her and say hello how are you doing?, because I have worked in customer service 20 plus years and know that this is not the right attitude, she didn't respond to my greeting at all. At this point my husband walked away to the customer service area because he himself knows something is not right. The cashier had her head down the entire time I was at the counter until the total came up and she told me the amount, I proceeded to swipe my card and about to put the chip side in the machine when she said NO, and literally explained to me how the process works. I told her very clearly, You do not have to explain anything to me about the process I understand the process very well, she then sucked her teeth and gave me my receipt and left my items on the counter, NO BAG. I said I would like a bag please, she looked at my items and then got a bag and left it on the counter. This woman may have been having a bad day but being rude or possibly racist is not a way to handle any situation. Customer service is customer service and that behavior should not be tolerated. read more

Would give this store 10 stars if I could. Stuff is great! Teamwork and collaboration are top notch. They go above a beyond to help and accommodate customers' needs. Help to resolve all issues, assist with loading and any other problems or potential problems. Very friendly, knowledgeable and familiar with every item in the store, ready to assist as needed. Gilber, Geoge, Kendra and Kevin just to name a few - they know their customers and maintain friendly relationship, so customers are drawn to check this store before any other competitors. Generous " Crazy Deals" incentives makes customers to "get addicted" to this store chain - you never know what you can find:) There is something for everyone and more finds beyond the shopping list, so there is no way to buy only needed items - I always end up with buying many more things than I planned to, as prices are very competitive. If you would like to have a one-stop place to shop for all your needs, check this store out, very continent location and easy drive. Customer Service is also extremely helpful in resolving issues if any arise. read more

Just recently found this store, and I've been there everytime I passed in the area. The store has everything from home decor to food and snacks (no ice cream unlike Big Lots -- nothing frozen), to clothing and silly winter sandals to some automotive fix-it to pool supplies, from garden furnitures to walking sticks. But what draws me is that they have decent prices "select" snacks that are more diverse, from low-salt Boulder Canyon Pumpkin Pie chips (reaaally good and with a 8g sodium/2g sugar/0 fat/0 cholesterol per serving, it's fast becoming my sinful escape snack :-), ricke crackers that are also way low in salt, good portion nuts, southern spiced pecan (decadent!).... and mostly, the sweet bread that is just soo good and yummy! The store attendants are nice and helpful when asked for information. Just happened to be there just recently on their 40% discount on everything under $10 for their 40 yrs (really?) anniversary and needless to say my pantry was full after that. read more

I've been going to this store since it opened and have never had a problem, it's clean and well organized, employees are very helpful. If fact one day when I was there the cashier knew my order would be over $100 and they had a deal where if you purchased a $100 gift card you receive a $30 Crazy Deal card (it's basically an in store credit). So she had me purchase a $100 gift card which I then used to pay for my items and I got the Crazy Deal card to use at another time. I like this store better than Big Lots. read more

Went to pay and my total was 24.51 after placing 25.00 dollars on the counter I said to the girl I give you the 51 cents she said she already put it in the computer and had to give me change back and not take my coins I asked to talk to manager and her excuse was they make to many mistakes so that's there policy So I guess that's better for them that people use credit cards you don't have to worry about giving people change some customer service read more

Poor customer service.... waited in line for 15 minutes only to be told he was closing the line. They didn't have enough people to accommodate the number of customers at checkout read more

I've been in here a few times as this store has a wide variety of goods with fantastic prices. However, the other day I had gone in to pick up a few items for a party. I went into my purse to look for my phone and a worker had walked past me as I had my hand in my bag. I guess he assumed I was stealing something. Next thing I know, I'm being followed by two employees. Every corner I turned there was someone trolling the aisle I was in. It was unnerving and super uncomfortable. Now, I understand they were doing their job but the manager could have pulled me aside and said something to me. I gladly would've let him search my purse to reassure him that I, in fact did NOT steal one of their invaluable pieces of garbage. But no, he insisted on following me through the store for 30 minutes with my cart full of chips and dip. Bro, you work at job lot, your not a detective! Get a grip! Thank you for making me feel as if I was being stalked and for making me feel like a criminal when in fact I spent over $50 in your crappy store. Corporate may want to educate their employees on how to tactfully handle "suspicious" situations. Their strategy did nothing but prompt me to never shop there again and to write this review. Good job Insepctor Gadget! read more
