I have to say that besides Wal-Mart and their resident WalMartians, this is truly a place for not only browsing for bargains or unusual goodies, but for people watching. You will see some doozies, I promise. Its a regular weekend thing for us...and let me tell you WHY!! IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: In front near the main entrance, there's a very nice lady, Janice, who sells K-cups and accessories for Keurig coffee makers for approximately HALF of retail. I am a regular. Huge selection and you may buy the box or 24 singles mix n match for 13.99. High end coffee from many companies including Wolfgang Puck, Bob Marley etc..You may also buy just a few singles including tea, flavors, hot chocolate & unusual. I started out trying many different kinds of dark roast and chose favorites from there. Two boxes get us thru the week. We are big coffee drinkers! Her customer service rocks, she will always try to make you happy. If you use K-cups you gotta go here. Next is our Dog Groomer, Jean Cashman. She's not on the beaten path but she's worth the looking. Our fur baby, Abby, used to go to a recommended groomer who cut her up like a rump roast then, instead of telling us, tried to hide his dirty deed with a tightly tied scarf around her neck. When she seemed to fuss with it, we removed it to find it soaked in puppy blood. Needless to say, he got a visit from us and we got an apology and our $ back. This was $60.00 for bath, clip & nail trim. Of course we never went back. Someone recommended Jean to us, her little shop is a permanent fixture at Oldsmar and she has been taking wonderful care of Abby for 4 years. Abby used to get upset when we just walked by her shop but now she is just slightly annoyed as she knows we WILL be back to get her. Jean does a beautiful job, caring and ever careful, and she charges, wait for it, $35 for most small dogs..(Please remember to tip generously) It's totally worth that for bath, clip, nails and LOVE. Abby always smells fresh and pretty when we pick her up. Jean used to live by us, and once when she finished with Abster, she just brought her home, window down, Abs sitting on her lap hanging out the window! We were so shocked to see Abby not snarly and barky with someone other than us. Anyway..if you get your dog groomed and you aren't using Jean you are missing out. Appointments are a good idea although she will take you in if she isnt slammed, which isn't often. She's open Wednesday thru Sunday. I will try to add her number at the end of review. Other notables: a reseller of Icing jewelry - everything is $1.00. That's ten pairs of cute, once -priced at 6-8 bux each earrings for $10! Great deal.The produce market in the middle is good. They have bags of produce that is still quite fresh for $1 per bag, even though their regular prices are seriously below retail. Best buys in the dollar bags are onions, potatoes and other hearty veggies. Their tomatoes are heavenly and on the vine for 2$ a pound. They also have weird stuff like ginger in the raw, cactus etc. They have about 3 aisles that are people who aren't regulars but who rent for a day or a weekend and I have found some unbelievable bargains here: a set of beautiful cream towels with the Izod logo, .50 each.(they still had original tags) Blown glass from the 1960's - 3-5 bux. Many DVDs 1$ each. Books .25, toys like Lego, etc for cheap. I bought a non fake, no knockoff Vera Bradley tablet cover for a dollar, Vera Wang perfume samples 12 for $7, weed whacker $10, gorgeous sterling silver and onyx ring for $4. These are just a few bargains. Please don't just run through, take the day or at least a couple of hours and LOOK. Its an amazing feeling to find a gem. Bad stuff: It Is HOT. When I say hot, I mean HOT. Its humid and there's no breeze. Dress in cool clothes with comfy shoes.The guy sitting in the food court in a ridiculous little car shape singing 50's karaoke is just awful. Some people sell junk. Dont buy it. Pass on the dog treat lady who swears she personally MAKES all the treats she sells but look suspiciously like the bad propylene glycol treats that cause your pets problems, she might make some of that stuff but don't lie to me. I wont be back. Skip the food court with few exceptions. The food is greasy and icky. Ice cream soft serve is really good. Funnel cakes are great. Ask for a fresh one. You can buy alligator meat and velvet paintings of Jesus and Elvis. You can see life size versions of Jake and Ellwood, a bike just like Pee Wee's, and any kind of mirror, tweezer, tool or knick knack you want. Its a day of exploration! If nothing else, its exercise!! Im going to look for you guys there tomorrow! :-) Jean's number for dog grooming appt is 813-928-6126! read more
