    Big Lots tends to carry closeout things... here today and once it's

    Yep.
    I used to shop there quite often. (They have since moved across the
    river into Ohio due to lower taxes, etc)

    A little harder to bike over there, eh...? ;)

    I learned to steer clear of electronics, but otherwise the items
    were good. We have an Ollie's at the mall, a BL knock off, and its the same way. Got an oriental rug there for $79 everyone else was selling close to $200, even Walmart.

    Yeah... that sort of place, you just need to know how to tell if
    something is any good... and what the going price for the identical item
    is elsewhere... They carry really good stuff for really low prices...
    and some perfectly crappy stuff for more than it's worth, hoping that
    people won't be paying attention... ;) (But, it's a BARGAIN!)
