But my son has used the Big Lots store in Louisville to very good advantage. He bought a whole living room set there and was pleased with the price and the quality. After a wave of "downward mobility", brought on by my retirement from my grocery store cashier job, I am now relying completely on Social Security for my monthly budget. I have needed to get more creative in how I shop. I have had very good luck with "3rd tier" grocery stores that use the "big lots" model for acquiring their products. The Amazing Savings store in Asheville does not attempt to have the same broad selection as a first-tier grocery store chain like the Ingle's Supermarkets here in Asheville, the Kroger's chain in Louisville, or the Jewel chain in my sweet home Chicago. The BiLo stores, Aldi's and such still approximate a full-service grocery store, but offer better prices by using other stores' overstock and almost-out-of-date products. The Amazing Savings stores, The Price Is Right in Spruce Pine and others can offer some shockingly low prices by abandoning all pretense of being a full-service store and basically saying "What you see is what you get." At the Big Lots in Weaverville this afternoon, I didn't know exactly what I was looking for - just "something I can use to draw attention to my poetry booth at an arts fair on Saturday". Cashier/Sales Associate Tracie was not busy and listened very patiently as I brainstormed the desired purpose of my purchase: "to draw attention and get people to stop in front of me." I am on a real lean budget and need to get creative here. I may eventually build a little booth that I could truck around with me, like my Asheville friend Elle Erickson - the "Booth Lady" - but for now I needed something quick, cheap and very portable. I wandered around the store, searching for inspiration - and finally ignited when I saw a little mesh bag containing two Frisbees and a colorful tennis ball. I took my little treasures back up front to Tracie. I asked her, "Do you have a couple of minutes for me to explain why I think these will work to get people to stop at my booth?" There was no one else in line at that point and Tracey was glad to try to get on board with my fantasy. She obviously had a really good imagination, because she definitely went there with me. I don't have enough characters in this review to take you through all that. I will probably write it up - and maybe shoot a video - if I do finally busk at the fair on Saturday. If I do that, I probably will post it to my personal blog, healingvalidations.com. I discovered that you have to shop smart in the "big lots" stores. Certain products are not much of a bargain at all, though if you get a "big quantity/lot", you do much better. Tracie still had no one else in her checkout line - and showed genuine understanding for why I bought the 54-oz bottle of Twin Leaf iced tea instead of the 18 oz bottle. I also took the risk that she might be interested in why I was turning down some drinks after googling one of their ingredients - And she at least did a good job of pretending to be interested. I actually think she was grateful to learn why some of the products are not as healthy as they claim to be. After this afternoon's shopping trip to Big Lots, I am now a fan. I am even moreso a fan of cashier/sales associate Tracie. She is extremely gracious and friendly, a great listener - and, just in general, really good at her job. I wish I had a business in Weaverville that I could hire her for.

Lastly, they pass the credit card fee onto the customer, but don't offer an atm when they require cash. It is absurd to me that I am expected to pay to pay. This should be a cost of business and not an additional fee to shop at your business. Will not be back.

The diapers did shrink a lot during prepping, but they worked great while they fit him! We continued to use the inserts in slightly larger diapers for a little while. We also use the cashmere covers and cashmere shorties. The craftsmanship is superb. Looking forward to buying some longies for the winter! The only thing I wish they would add is an color selection option that reads "Surprise me -boy" or even just "Surprise me", because honestly all of the colors we have tried (orange, red, green, and brown) have been rich and lovely and it is hard to decide which one to choose!
