    They have everything you need and everything you don't need (but think that you do).

    If you are looking for different things for your home and want a good deal you should stop by Ollie's. They always have good deals and things you didn't know you wanted. They have a great book selection and housewares and they different types of dry food items are nice but one thing to know, what you see one time they may not have the next. But one thing to note is if you don't see something you want, the staff is nice enough to not only see if they can help you find it, they will also check the back to see if they just haven't put it out in display yet.

    Lots of pots

    I'm rounding up to 2 stars. I was drawn in by the beautiful pottery outside the doors. I was overcome by the smell of plastic (polypropylene?) when I entered the store. This is a large discount store. I normally enjoy a good discount store, but this was a mess. There were unopened boxes of merchandise inside aisles. Perhaps, they are short on staff? They carry cards, books, household items, dry food goods and much more. Prices are ok. Checkout was horrible. There was one clerk. She was having issues with their checkout system. In addition, she was trying to recruit Ollie members by asking personal questions, such as children's names. The patron in front of me was annoyed and so was I. I won't be back. Ollie's is a mess.

    One of those things you didn't know you needed until you saw it...

    This store has a very special place in my heart... I just can't get enough! I love to walk around and see what I can find - there's always something interesting that isn't on your shopping list but you know you need it. For example, a donut toaster! Or unique flavors of Rice Krispy Treats. They get me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Ollie's has a great selection of brand name and non-brand name items for a significantly lower price. Some of the usuals I like to go for are Yankee Candles and Wax Melts, Toothpaste, Laundry and Dish Detergent, kitchenware and small kitchen appliances. Ollie's also has a great book section if you have the time to browse. Sometimes searching through the store is a challenge but that's just part of the adventure. They have a rewards program that typically offers 15% off coupons as well so make sure to sign up! Tip: make sure you look along the top of shelves - I found out during this trip that they sell suitcases along the top wall towards the back of the store. Once I started paying more attention to the top shelves, not only did I find new items that I didn't notice before, but I also realized that there were extras of items that I previously couldn't find! Ollie's is always worth the trip!

    Ollie's Bargin Outlet is a discount chain store who offers items other stores have over purchased, factory seconds, close outs, remaining seasonal items or has printing errors. They carry a large selection of closeout merchandise from many, many homegoods, bedding, beverages, food, toys, electronics, cookware, books, greeting cards and space heaters. Many savings if you have time to browse all the isles. If you see an item you want I suggest you purchase right then since many things are closeouts. The isles are tiddy, spacious and the items are clean and organized well. It does take awhile to browse this large store. I've always found staff on the floor willing to answer questions or help find an item. The staff had a sense of humor, friendly and works hard to move check out lines quickly. Lots of savings and you never know what you'll find.

I don't know how he does it.) Anyway, on my kid's birthday wish list each year is the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. You want a book for your birthday, my child? I'm happy to oblige. This same kid also recently asked me to buy him broccoli so he can eat it raw. He's a treasure. I try, each year, to pre-order the books at local Indy bookstores. Support local, and all that. This year, I pre-ordered the book at MacArthur Books in The Village of WestClay. I had visited this adorable Carmel bookstore during a Yelp event a couple of years ago, and I told myself that I needed to come back. Pre-ordering my book was super easy. I called them on the phone and told them that I wanted to pre-order the book, and they took down my name and number, and told me they'd text me when it was in. I suppose, if you don't want to call them on the phone, you can stop into the store. They didn't make me prepay or anything. When the book was in, I got a text saying so, and I went and paid for my book and brought it home. My child was so happy! MacArthur Books hosts book events, like drop-in book clubs. They're also very active on social media. The bookstore itself is a cozy place to read (they have comfy chairs here and there), plus a cute children's area.

It's such an intimate performance area, and the sound and lighting are great. They have open mic nights here every week, and I can see myself coming back in the future to listen to more music. This is the "mothership" B&B -- the OG. I've been to some of the other Books & Brews around Indy before they closed, and this one definitely feels like an original. It's very ... lived in, let's say. The layout makes no sense, and there's a lot of stuff everywhere. But it's a cozy space, and lots of people, including families with young kids, were there when I visited. I like that there are "third places" like this that adults and kids can visit to to play games and eat and have a beer. (The adults have a beer! Sorry, kids.) The food at any Books & Brews has never been my favorite. In fact, I usually avoid it altogether and just get beer. But this time, my drink of choice was kombucha, and I got an "Oliver Twist," which is a soft pretzel with beer cheese. That reminds me: The food and beverages on their menu have silly little literary names. You have to know something about me: When I see silly little names on menus for ordinary food items, a switch turns on inside me and I become a defiant brat. I will never play along and say "The Girl with the Chicken Nuggie Tattoo" instead of "chicken nuggets" or "A Tale of Two Piggies" instead of "the ham and bacon sandwich." Nope. It's not happening. And when I ordered the "soft pretzel" instead of the "Oliver Twist," they understood me just fine. There is a huge wall of shelves filled with board games that you can grab and play at your table. There had to have been at least 50 or 60 different games. They also have lots of new board games for sale, as well as things like Magic the Gathering decks, Pokemon cards, Funko and geeky swag. Oh! And, of course, they have lots and lots of books, new and used. I couldn't tell if they were arranged with any rhyme or reason. So if you're looking for something specific, you might have better luck finding it elsewhere. But if you're looking to let destiny choose your next read, you might want to pop into Books & Brews and let the B&B powers-that-be guide you to the perfect book.
