I can always always hear your smile when you talk. I've never said that about anyone, but you. I literally can hear your smile in your voice. You make me happy just listening... And oh yes, all of your tips and bargain shopping hints are equally wonderful! You rock Katherine!!!
This is the best video I’ve seen about big lots. I’m a proud employee with the company. And I absolutely adored this video. I actually shared it with the company.
I miss David Campisi and his vision for customer service. I miss those great company videos like "spend it where you earn it" starring Rebecca. I had the honor of working for Big Lots for 20 years. It really is a great place to work and shop. 🥰 Thank you for sharing 🥰
I used to go to big lots about once a year until the lock down cAme . I started to joke that I was going to my boyfriends house ( aka- big lots) . I would go twice a week around 6 pm and I would stroll thru every aisle and every nook and cranny . I enjoyed the extra coupons and tons of savings. I had NO idea that big lots could actually decorate your home on such a great budget . I’m a healthcare worker and I was able to get extra savings off . My neighbors who could get outside I was able to purchase them everything on their lists . The savings were so great until I didn’t care about repayment. I honestly will say that big lots is my favorite store.
Oh, if you are there, TELL THEM please, that they need some young blood to help them with marketing, store floor layout and product positioning, reaching out to moms over youtube , etc. Like this video here. Instead of hiring some stuck up consultants, get a bunch of moms from youtube, they will create a cool concept and also make a bunch of videos that will draw WAY more traffic into the store. Biglots stores keep closing, they put CANDY on front aisles, and all the decor we come in the back. How stupid is that?? All matchy furniture sets are outdated, etc. You can get cheap furniture on amazon that's trendy. Introduce some variety. I saw their marketing guy - boring guy over 50 with glasses from 1980s - giving an interview about potential shopper "Jennifer" walking around the store. That tells you everything that's wrong with it.
I love Big Lots!! 18 years ago when I was deorating my 3100 sq. ft. home two sales women at a furniture store advised me to buy the high end furniture pieces you really want, then shop at these wonderful discount stores for your accessories, and pulling it all together! That was excellent advice and I have found so many good quality decorating and household accessories!
Do NOT buy a couch from Big Lots. Take it from someone who knows. They loose all comfort within the first year. They suck! Spend a little extra for a nicer one or find one gently used. My biggest buying regret is that trash $500 couch from Big Lots 😂
Congrats on the new house👏🏾. We’re a family of four and moved into our new home this month (June 2020). Trash cans came from BL. I will be purchasing a new dresser & some entryway pieces.
I work at big lots and honestly, our stuff, while some of it is pretty lame, can be pretty good quality. Our furniture is not to be overlooked, it’s significantly cheaper than most high end furniture stores, and it’s almost the exact same quality. In fact, some of our furniture is Ashley Furnitures as well, mainly the bed sets. We offer plenty of payment options that appeal to those who are able to pay simply with cash or card, to those who need to make payments to obtain the beautiful furniture they need. We also offer a credit card, so the options are very different, but all great.
As a grad student living alone for the first time I bought all of my furniture, decorations & kitchenware from big lots and have gotten soo many complements on things and people are always so surprised when I tell them it’s from Big Lots!
I love big lots, but I highly recommend asking when their next sale is, and getting a rewards card. They always have a seasonal or monthly sale on the whole store with a big lots rewards account.
As a previous employee of big lots, i can absolutely vouch for there amazing deals. They even have clearance on furniture. The customer appreciation days that allow 20% off are 2 times a year. The best time to stock on holiday items are the week after because its all marked down. Even to 90% off. I bought 2 shopping carts full for $12!
I have always loved Big Lots! I don't think anybody ever thinks of shopping there first, but every time I have gone have found excellent deals and the quality is great!
We got a big sectional couch for only $700-something that is super comfy. My husband insisted on a leather one though the same day we adopted 2 cats🤦♀️ so except for the corner that they wrecked when we're gone it's still a great couch 3yrs later🤣 hoping to somehow fix that one spot because the couch itself is amazing.
I absolutely love their Christmas decor. It's outstanding and the deals after Christmas are even better. They have such beautiful items at Christmas and lots of large pieces and lots of gold and silver.
Havent been in a Big Lots in YEARS but after seeing this video, heading there TODAY... MASK ON!!!! :) *really need the patio furniture covers as I hate waiting till the cushions dry out to sit down after a rain! *patio items since we're pretty much home ALL THE TIME we are outdoors in the morning and evening. Great video, thanks!!!
When I moved n changed my address thru the p.o. I rec'd a welcome pk from the p.o. with a 20 per cent off BG LOTS coupon. Gonna use it to get the outdoor pillows for a chair I have n the sunflower thingy to adorn my front porch!
I hadn’t been in Big Lots in a while ... their dry food section and snacks is insane. So cheap and so many good things. Also they have good deals on beauty products as well.
I’m a college kid and I absolutely love watching your videos! I find them to be really helpful for organizing my dorm room or my house, and love getting ideas from your videos as to where to buy certain college necessities or making cute diy decor!
Saturday, we were at big lots, and they announced over the intercom that first responders and truck drivers get a 15% discount with ID. Not sure if that is everyday, or just that one Saturday.
It’s been going on for a while now, every month it says until the end of the month but the next month they’ll have the same. For first responders, police,firefighters, healthcare workers and military
Love this Big Lots video! I recently went there for Easter items and was blown away at how much in style and affordable things were! Please do more videos like this!
Omg I totally agree about big lots being amazing! I moved into my first apartment about a year ago and was appalled by how expense everything was, but didn’t want to give up on having a super cute home! I remembered that you had talked about how great big lots was, and so I went to check it out. I got a TON of my decor there for so cheap! Everyone tells me I have a really nice apartment but little do they know that I did it on a serious dime thanks to you!
Big Lots was AWESOME during Civid. When other stores had to close... Big Lots was open with very reasonably priced decorating & organizing items for my Master bath do over. Even got a yellow curtain panel to make over for curtains for a seasonal switch. Prices all good. They also had great rugged puppy toys & puppy outerwear ( rain coats) not to mention food items. This store was a life saver for me.
Big Lots has really stepped up their game! Ours is really nice neat and clean. It use to be a mess but it’s really good and I love to shop there now. Thanks for sharing!
I love shopping Big Lots, so glad you made this video. We recently purchased an RV and I bought everything we needed from cooking supplies, towels, sheets, rugs and decor all from BL. I recently bought one of the outdoor lanterns for $20, love it! I bought the copper metal pasta strainer from BL and filled it will other fun kitchen items as a housewarming gift just last week. The Serta sheets are so soft and cool, it’s all I buy and I’m picky about my sheets. My husband bought me a recliner to recover in last year when I had a major surgery. Very nice quality stuff.
I used one of those wine cork storage boxes, glass front, hole in top to drop in the corks, as a memory box/shadow box. Gift for a good friend. I scraped the paint from the glass, used my own paint to make a saying on the inside of the glass. Put in several personal items of memories. It is very nice hanging on the wall.
I have two biglots near me and I rediscovered them after they changed. Nexted to dollar tree they are my favorite place to shop. Redoing my patio and loved the three container planter. ❤
Thanks for the videos on Big Lots! I purchased a Living room sectional, recliner, fireplace and a kitchen dinette with 4 chairs all for under 2000.00 dollars last year. Good quality furniture at an affordable price. Thanks so much!!
We love Big Lots! Most of our furniture came from there. GREAT DEALS! The rolling kitchen cart is THE BOMB for extra storage, counterspace, and prep! A true life saver in small spaces! Great vid! Thank You for the tips and ideas!
Fanny Pinto yep. But at the same time on the back end it depends on how the store is ran/district managers what not. The first Biglots I worked at in wa I couldn’t tell you who did truck, stocking. I was strictly night recovery. Here in nc we had to do it alllll. Truck ticketing stocking cashiering recovery. And by we on truck I mean all women including my mother who’s 50, no dock, in the heat or cold. Huge ass roll racks that were janky af to get the stuff off the scissor lift into the building. Some stores are just treated better than others.
Amen on the rugs!! A few years ago, I pulled up my ancient carpeting and exposed the hardwood floors. At Big Lots, I was able to find enough matching area rugs, runners, etc. to do the entire front side of the house. Very affordable and they look great!! I know that would have cost me a small fortune at other retailers. My last set of new dish towels (I believe I bought fifteen) were in the color scheme I needed. And yes - 3 for $8.00. Although I love Big Lot's patio furniture/lawn accessories area, I do not recommend buying silk flowers at Big Lots as they are overpriced. This year, I got a much better deal on silk peonies on sale at Michael's. I took the silk peonies I originally bought from Big Lots back.
Fabulous video! We'll definitely check out Big Lots when we are ready for new deck furniture! Keep in mind the curtains there are the standard 86" or 64". If you need longer than that, you need to shop elsewhere.
This is so great! thank you so much for doing these videos! I am looking for a rug for our new house and I am so glad to learn about BigLots having great deals on rugs. My family has been shopping at biglots for YEARS!
I could tell the stores changed & their merchandise is more trendy, but I didn't realize it was because there were leadership changes. I remember buying kids clothes at Big Lots back in the 1990s. Within the past few years a Big Lots moved out of a shopping center nearby, but an Aldi's moved into the empty space, so it is still a win for me! Love your ideas.
I recently bought a Clorox Mop with a refillable bottle from Big Lots. I haven't seen it at any other stores. I like that I can use my own solution instead of having to pay at least $6 for the bottles that are use with a Swiffer! :)
Bought a smaller L-shape sofa from there just 18mo ago and have had to sleep on it as my bed for awhile---and it is sooooo comfortable! It has saved me big time for needing a place to sleep each night. The quality is Great for the price. Really nice people who work there too. I absolutely Appreciate their selection of everything in the store, Including home decor and furniture!! If you take time to go in there they have some Really good deals, AND cozy cute home decor choices!! I love Big Lots! Thank God they exist for many who love Pottery Barn but can't afford their prices. Great cozy home store with Big Lots, EVEN for outdoor patio stuff like garden pots and comfortable outdoor seating. Great store! And of course, Lots of kitchen goods, garden items, toys, some affordable dvd's, bathroom toiletries, and food too. Bedding, curtains, they really have it all. They usually have a Wonderful furniture selection, taking up 1/3rd or a 1/4 of the store. I'm pretty sure you can make payments to pay off your furniture too!! Just ask them : )
Big Lots have come a LONG way from when I was a kid!!! The rewards, omg!!! So addictive!!! Also, paper products, if you can find the 75 count larger bowls or the 180 count plates!!! The organization baskets (clear plastic!!), it is exactly like Container Store but a whole lot cheaper!!! It is a sister fun day when I go w/sisters!!! SO MANY SNACKS!!! Inexpensive socks!!! I was able to find my nephew size 16 socks!!! The 15% off for military & healthcare works everyday till the end of June helps!!! I woke up to the notifications for this video!!! I LOVE IT!!!
We have bought couches that recline, a bench with baskets, our king size bed and matresses, end tables to match! Coffee table and end tables, I also bought that beautiful round table and chairs I fell in love with it!
I couldn't believe the change in our Big Lots after the revamp!!! They also upped the quality of the products that they carry as well! I agree that no other store can compete with their prices on their plant pots/urns. Normally I look for that kind of stuff on my own, but the hubby & I needed to get out of the house and decided to go get some outdoor stuff we needed. We looked at big pots at Wal-Mart, Lowe's & then I remembered Big Lots and he was blown away by how much we saved on them!!!👍
I love the way you conduct your store tours. You’re happy and it shows💓 you’re the kinda gal I want my sons to find, for forever;) Thanks for the videos. I am going to big lots this coming week!
Be careful with some of the higher priced items such as appliances, steam mops , and Vacuums.Make sure the price isn’t lower because it’s a refurbished item. Be sure to read the box completely.
I was going to say the same thing...usually a refurb or new but without accessories that are available elsewhere. Example I've seen vacuum cleaners priced less but did not have all of the extra nozzle attachments with it (crevice tool etc). Just look carefully!
Seasonal Decor and when you can find it makeup. Here’s a tip, always look at the makeup and the end cap food clearance items. You can often find really good deals !!!!!
Yes girl, big lots is the it place right now for great deals on great stuff. Broyhill furniture is made in the USA. Last time I redecorated got everything from curtains To placemats, baskets, and kitchenware. Everything went together and was so affordable.
I love looking at the variety of snacks and baking items. The decor items in the last couple years has really improved in quality and style. You can also purchase thru a credit company and pay it out up to a certain amount. Even if you dont have good credit score. Which is really great to decorate a whole room. And medical workers get 15% off everyday!! Woop woop!!
I've loved BIG Lots for awhile now. I have bought their rugs, curtains, shower curtains and food items with great success. Also, lawn items, shampoos, cleaning. The list is endless!
Yes lots of summer out door stuff! They do have home furniture but more beds & mattresses than furniture! Great floor rugs can find alot of good stuff there!
Big Lots is the bomb. We set up my mother's apartment just from them. I enjoy your channel and learning keeps you young! Blessings to you and your family. Thank you for the bright spot your videos bring to my days.
@@amyandrewbeauto3428 check around, I have two that are approximately 4 miles from me in opposite directions. One is a dump, and one is super nice. They are both in the same degree of neighborhood. It pays to shop around. Good luck 😊
I believe she goes to Big Lots in pineville-matthews area near Charlotte, NC. May be a different one in this video though! Huge Dollar tree she usually goes to is one on freedom dr in Charlotte
I'm addicted to your videos. Love love it!! Wish Toronto/Canada had big lot & Target and Khols... Thank U for being so creative & teaching us to save money with style ;)
I do shop at Big Lots though not always. Bought our patio furniture too! I've purchased food, patio lights, flower urns, all great! Thanks girl and love your earrings!!!
The two brothers who started "pic n save", were generous, kind human beings. They had profit sharing, both in cash and in stocks, full medical, vacation and full retirement. All employees were full time, they got paid overtime, wages started at $1.50/hr over minimum wage, and when they hired temp employees for inventory, they paid the equivalent of what an employee would earn with benefits. Minimum wage was 3.35, and they paid close to $10/hr to those temp employees. When minimum wage went from 3.35/hr to 4.25, EVERY employee got a. 90¢ an hour raise! The employees were so grateful, they sold their stock to a 3rd party, and that 3rd party did a hostile takeover, and the brothers were kicked out. The first thing the new owners did was cut the profit sharing, cut hours, cut benefits and retirement was frozen. The employees had cut off their nose to spite their face. 😭
@@mrsducky3428 i lived in pic n save in my youngest years when i couldn't afford expensive high end clothing and make-up, made me sad when i couldn't find the store anymore ... so thats what happened 😢, hate corporates that destroy the few good to people businesses😤
We bought our bed and bed frame. You showed the bed frame we got in your video. We went with the Serta stay in the box because we could fit it in our car plus we waited for when they had their bed and mattress sales at the beginning of the year. Instead of the matching side tables, we bought the kid’s white 6 cube organizers which were buy one get one half off. The same standard cube storage weren’t on sale in the store but it’s the same quality. They didn’t have the cloth cubes that fit in stock so we did buy those at Walmart on clearance. We also bought our silicone oven liner there for $6! It makes cleaning the oven so easy now!
My cousin-in-law always gets the most AWESOME Christmas Presents-- and she always goes to Big Lots. She got me the most adorable matching Christmas Blanket and Pillow Set. I loved using it on the plane back home!
Well not necisarily ours is being re-done so yeah it was run down! Now their remodeling so its still not done yet! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Still alot of good buys & products! 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Mine too...and so expensive...higher than every other store too!!! This new management has not improved big lots...I will never waste my time and go back.
I can always always hear your smile when you talk. I've never said that about anyone, but you. I literally can hear your smile in your voice. You make me happy just listening... And oh yes, all of your tips and bargain shopping hints are equally wonderful! You rock Katherine!!!
This is the best video I’ve seen about big lots. I’m a proud employee with the company. And I absolutely adored this video. I actually shared it with the company.
I, too, have worked for Big Lots for the last 6 years. I "shop where I work"!
I miss David Campisi and his vision for customer service. I miss those great company videos like "spend it where you earn it" starring Rebecca. I had the honor of working for
Big Lots for 20 years. It really is a great place to work and shop. 🥰
Thank you for sharing 🥰
I used to go to big lots about once a year until the lock down cAme . I started to joke that I was going to my boyfriends house ( aka- big lots) .

I had NO idea that big lots could actually decorate your home on such a great budget . I’m a healthcare worker and I was able to get extra savings off . My neighbors who could get outside I was able to purchase them everything on their lists . The savings were so great until I didn’t care about repayment. I honestly will say that big lots is my favorite store.
I love this store!
Oh, if you are there, TELL THEM please, that they need some young blood to help them with marketing, store floor layout and product positioning, reaching out to moms over youtube , etc. Like this video here.

That was excellent advice and I have found so many good quality decorating and household accessories!
I love sales people like that.
So so agree on this! that was a great advise; )
I love that you show the prices when you shop!!
Have been furnishing my new house with Big Lots since March! So great!
Do NOT buy a couch from Big Lots. Take it from someone who knows. They loose all comfort within the first year. They suck! Spend a little extra for a nicer one or find one gently used. My biggest buying regret is that trash $500 couch from Big Lots 😂
And I'm TOTALLY looking forward to doing this same thing when we move in a few weeks!
Those curtain rods were so cute!
Congrats on the new house👏🏾. We’re a family of four and moved into our new home this month (June 2020). Trash cans came from BL. I will be purchasing a new dresser & some entryway pieces.

I could spend hours at Big Lots!! Since their whole revamp I’ve started to see a huge improvement in their products and quality. Great spot! 💖
I agree i love Big lots. I spend hours in there. And definitely way to much cash.
Sandy's Lifestyle I was there years and years ago and it was just junk and dirty!
As a grad student living alone for the first time I bought all of my furniture, decorations & kitchenware from big lots and have gotten soo many complements on things and people are always so surprised when I tell them it’s from Big Lots!
I love big lots, but I highly recommend asking when their next sale is, and getting a rewards card. They always have a seasonal or monthly sale on the whole store with a big lots rewards account.
If you go online and sign up for an account you get notified when all the sales are and get the 20% -50% off coupons.
I was also going to recommend this. I’ve been shopping at Big Lots for years! Love them.
Honestly it's one if the only times I shop at Big Lots anymore is there 20% off coupon days.
As a previous employee of big lots, i can absolutely vouch for there amazing deals. They even have clearance on furniture. The customer appreciation days that allow 20% off are 2 times a year. The best time to stock on holiday items are the week after because its all marked down. Even to 90% off. I bought 2 shopping carts full for $12!
When does the summer stuff go on clearance?
Big Lots has really stepped up their game for sure! I love that outdoor rug!! Oh Copper you silly dog! What a sweetheart!
bless your heart for adopting an older dog , the love is his eyes warms my soul
This is where we get all of our supplies. Like ALL. I swear by this place. I won't shop anywhere else but here and Dollar Tree!
Big lots is a gem love have shopped there for years
I have always loved Big Lots! I don't think anybody ever thinks of shopping there first, but every time I have gone have found excellent deals and the quality is great!
I got my couch from Big Lots in May 2019 and it is incredible! It’s gorgeous, great quality, and I think it was $375, for a full-size couch!!
Do you have kids?
Our couch from there was $500 back in 2013 and it sucks! It sucked after a year. Regret that purchase
We got a big sectional couch for only $700-something that is super comfy. My husband insisted on a leather one though the same day we adopted 2 cats🤦♀️ so except for the corner that they wrecked when we're gone it's still a great couch 3yrs later🤣 hoping to somehow fix that one spot because the couch itself is amazing.
We got our couch from there about six years ago and it’s worn completely out. We have three kids and two adults. We’re couch shopping again 😔
I love Big Lots garden decor. Please continue doing Big Lots videos. I was totally impressed with the Broyhill recliner.
Love it when you cover stores like these! Would love for you to do more!
I absolutely love their Christmas decor. It's outstanding and the deals after Christmas are even better. They have such beautiful items at Christmas and lots of large pieces and lots of gold and silver.
Havent been in a Big Lots in YEARS but after seeing this video, heading there TODAY... MASK ON!!!! :) *really need the patio furniture covers as I hate waiting till the cushions dry out to sit down after a rain! *patio items since we're pretty much home ALL THE TIME we are outdoors in the morning and evening.

My Big Lots is PITIFUL!! Makes me jealous when I see how nice your store is.
Ours is too!
I believe Kathryn lives in a parallel universe, where Dollar Tree and Big Lots are always clean and well stocked.
I've never seen you look prettier. That orange is definitely your color!🧡 I love your videos!
I’m a college kid and I absolutely love watching your videos! I find them to be really helpful for organizing my dorm room or my house, and love getting ideas from your videos as to where to buy certain college necessities or making cute diy decor!
Girl! You made my day!! I have not been to Big Lots in YEARS! I now cannot believe what I have been missing!! Thanks !!
You know it’s a great day when kathryn uploads!
I love your channel sooo much. Your positivity is very Refreshing right now. Thank You!
Hello how are you doing today ?
Saturday, we were at big lots, and they announced over the intercom that first responders and truck drivers get a 15% discount with ID.
Not sure if that is everyday, or just that one Saturday.
Its for covid and it should be every day 😊
I got 15% off at Big Lots in Kentucky by working in Healthcare
It is currently every day. I work there. 🙂
When I was there 2 weeks ago the same thing..we saved about $50 on out final check out
It’s been going on for a while now, every month it says until the end of the month but the next month they’ll have the same. For first responders, police,firefighters, healthcare workers and military
Love this Big Lots video! I recently went there for Easter items and was blown away at how much in style and affordable things were! Please do more videos like this!
Kathryn, you're not helping with my crippling Big Lots addiction🤣 I love me some Big Lots!
Omg I totally agree about big lots being amazing!

When refreshing my decor or searching for economical storage solutions , Big Lots is my first stop.
I used one of those wine cork storage boxes, glass front, hole in top to drop in the corks, as a memory box/shadow box.
Gift for a good friend.
I scraped the paint from the glass, used my own paint to make a saying on the inside of the glass.
Put in several personal items of memories.
It is very nice hanging on the wall.
I have two biglots near me and I rediscovered them after they changed. Nexted to dollar tree they are my favorite place to shop. Redoing my patio and loved the three container planter. ❤
Hi there. how are you doing today ?
Thanks for the videos on Big Lots! I purchased a Living room sectional, recliner, fireplace and a kitchen dinette with 4 chairs all for under 2000.00 dollars last year. Good quality furniture at an affordable price. Thanks so much!!
When everywhere was out of sanitizers and Clorox wipes, they had them!
I didn’t think of big lots I found mine at staples 😆
Yes! They had paper towels at ours when no one else did.
We love Big Lots! Most of our furniture came from there. GREAT DEALS! The rolling kitchen cart is THE BOMB for extra storage, counterspace, and prep! A true life saver in small spaces! Great vid! Thank You for the tips and ideas!
I haven’t been to Big Lots in so long! Ours was always so messy!
I just went back and now it’s so nice and clean! Very good buys too. Plus their bathrooms are so clean and spacious!
Mine too!
Everything on clearance is always broken at ours.
Janiece Jaye Genovese shoppers are the ones that make the mess. It’s really sad that we don’t take care of our stores.
Fanny Pinto yep. But at the same time on the back end it depends on how the store is ran/district managers what not. The first Biglots I worked at in wa I couldn’t tell you who did truck, stocking. I was strictly night recovery. Here in nc we had to do it alllll. Truck ticketing stocking cashiering recovery. And by we on truck I mean all women including my mother who’s 50, no dock, in the heat or cold. Huge ass roll racks that were janky af to get the stuff off the scissor lift into the building. Some stores are just treated better than others.
I love Big Lots, kitchen organization is amazing. Everything you can think of you will find deals. Definitely a place not to pass on!
Ssshhhhhh .......... don’t share our secrets!! I LOVE Big Lots, I have shopped there since I was a little girl with my grandma. Such great deals!
Amen on the rugs!! A few years ago, I pulled up my ancient carpeting and exposed the hardwood floors. At Big Lots, I was able to find enough matching area rugs, runners, etc. to do the entire front side of the house. Very affordable and they look great!! I know that would have cost me a small fortune at other retailers. My last set of new dish towels (I believe I bought fifteen) were in the color scheme I needed. And yes - 3 for $8.00.

This year, I got a much better deal on silk peonies on sale at Michael's. I took the silk peonies I originally bought from Big Lots back.
Interesting to know that they've revamped their stores. The last time I was to Big Lots was 2 yrs ago and it was so crappy.
Trust me it is all still CRAP. Do not be mislead by this video their stuff is beyond CHEAP and falls apart within months
The stores look better now but definitely is a mixed bag, they have lots of good quality and value things but also a lot of cheaply made stuff.
@@michaelbryant5833 Not everything.
Those organizers look awesome and I had no idea their furniture was so nice. Great to see thanks Kathryn!
Fabulous video! We'll definitely check out Big Lots when we are ready for new deck furniture!
Keep in mind the curtains there are the standard 86" or 64". If you need longer than that, you need to shop elsewhere.
This is so great! thank you so much for doing these videos! I am looking for a rug for our new house and I am so glad to learn about BigLots having great deals on rugs. My family has been shopping at biglots for YEARS!
Was there yesterday. I got some storage bins. Sometimes I just like to go look at what they have. Vacation for my mind.
I could tell the stores changed & their merchandise is more trendy, but I didn't realize it was because there were leadership changes. I remember buying kids clothes at Big Lots back in the 1990s. Within the past few years a Big Lots moved out of a shopping center nearby, but an Aldi's moved into the empty space, so it is still a win for me! Love your ideas.
I recently bought a Clorox Mop with a refillable bottle from Big Lots. I haven't seen it at any other stores. I like that I can use my own solution instead of having to pay at least $6 for the bottles that are use with a Swiffer! :)
Cool I need to do that 😁
Bought a smaller L-shape sofa from there just 18mo ago and have had to sleep on it as my bed for awhile---and it is sooooo comfortable! It has saved me big time for needing a place to sleep each night. The quality is Great for the price. Really nice people who work there too. I absolutely Appreciate their selection of everything in the store, Including home decor and furniture!! If you take time to go in there they have some Really good deals, AND cozy cute home decor choices!! I love Big Lots! Thank God they exist for many who love Pottery Barn but can't afford their prices. Great cozy home store with Big Lots, EVEN for outdoor patio stuff like garden pots and comfortable outdoor seating. Great store! And of course, Lots of kitchen goods, garden items, toys, some affordable dvd's, bathroom toiletries, and food too. Bedding, curtains, they really have it all. They usually have a Wonderful furniture selection, taking up 1/3rd or a 1/4 of the store. I'm pretty sure you can make payments to pay off your furniture too!! Just ask them : )
Such a genius to reward us at the end with an out take. This one was super cute. XO
I have bought furniture from big lots and been very pleased with it! I love their decor pieces! Can’t go wrong shopping at big lots!🤍
That was sooo adorable THE DOG WAS TRYING TO SHOW YOU THE ITEM AT THE END LOL
Big Lots have come a LONG way from when I was a kid!!! The rewards, omg!!! So addictive!!! Also, paper products, if you can find the 75 count larger bowls or the 180 count plates!!! The organization baskets (clear plastic!!), it is exactly like Container Store but a whole lot cheaper!!! It is a sister fun day when I go w/sisters!!! SO MANY SNACKS!!! Inexpensive socks!!! I was able to find my nephew size 16 socks!!! The 15% off for military & healthcare works everyday till the end of June helps!!! I woke up to the notifications for this video!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Your channel's literally made me start a *Personal* *Finance* channel here on RUclips. Thanks for the motivation *Do it on a dime*
We have bought couches that recline, a bench with baskets, our king size bed and matresses, end tables to match! Coffee table and end tables, I also bought that beautiful round table and chairs I fell in love with it!
Big Lots is literally my fav place other then Target! Its changed so much and i am here for it!! 😆🤗🤗
I couldn't believe the change in our Big Lots after the revamp!!! They also upped the quality of the products that they carry as well! I agree that no other store can compete with their prices on their plant pots/urns. Normally I look for that kind of stuff on my own, but the hubby & I needed to get out of the house and decided to go get some outdoor stuff we needed. We looked at big pots at Wal-Mart, Lowe's & then I remembered Big Lots and he was blown away by how much we saved on them!!!👍
This is such a good video. A must purchase at Big Lots is their spices.
Hello how are you doing today ?
I love the way you conduct your store tours. You’re happy and it shows💓 you’re the kinda gal I want my sons to find, for forever;) Thanks for the videos. I am going to big lots this coming week!
Wow! I've never seen the tall or large ceramic pots priced at anything under $50! Will be heading there today! Thx Catherine!😘
*Yes all these small accessories and accents make your home so cozy , great ideas 💡*
Be careful with some of the higher priced items such as appliances, steam mops , and Vacuums.Make sure the price isn’t lower because it’s a refurbished item. Be sure to read the box completely.
Thank you!
YUP. I've been ready to buy and then see the refurbished sticker. And it's usually not cheap enough to warrant it.
I was going to say the same thing...usually a refurb or new but without accessories that are available elsewhere. Example I've seen vacuum cleaners priced less but did not have all of the extra nozzle attachments with it (crevice tool etc). Just look carefully!
@Lizbeth Ochoa Not furniture but electronics are mostly refurbished. All furniture at their store is brand new not refurbished.
Deborah Franklin not true
I love Big Lots & Tj Maxx for home decor.
I've been knowing about big lots for many years!! My hidden treasure store!❤❤
We bought our living room furniture from Big Lots a year ago, and we’re loving it still!! Awesome quality, comfortable, and in our budget!!
Seasonal Decor and when you can find it makeup. Here’s a tip, always look at the makeup and the end cap food clearance items. You can often find really good deals !!!!!
My son works for them and we LOVE shopping there. They do have good deals and he gets a discount so EVEN BETTER !!!!
Holy moly! Headed to Big Lots today! I guess I haven’t been there since before new management because I don’t remember things being that beautiful.
Within the past year I've noticed a big change for the better. 😄
I think the quality varies greatly from store to store. I love the one near me!
Yes much better selection.
Over years its much better!
Yes girl, big lots is the it place right now for great deals on great stuff. Broyhill furniture is made in the USA. Last time I redecorated got everything from curtains
To placemats, baskets, and kitchenware. Everything went together and was so affordable.
Big lots is my fraviote store for my house decor i love that i could find everything for ur home n very affordable
I love looking at the variety of snacks and baking items. The decor items in the last couple years has really improved in quality and style. You can also purchase thru a credit company and pay it out up to a certain amount. Even if you dont have good credit score. Which is really great to decorate a whole room. And medical workers get 15% off everyday!! Woop woop!!
Just bought a home , your contents so helpful . THANK YOU!
Dont rush purchasing decor 4 home. Take your time. Different season diff. Colors 👍 fyi
Congrats on buying your home!!!!
Congratulations!
Congrats. Im a new homeowner as well.
I've loved BIG Lots for awhile now. I have bought their rugs, curtains, shower curtains and food items with great success. Also, lawn items, shampoos, cleaning. The list is endless!
Yes! The quality has really gone up. We even bought our couch and loveseat there!
Yes lots of summer out door stuff! They do have home furniture but more beds & mattresses than furniture! Great floor rugs can find alot of good stuff there!
I've been shopping there forever. I go there first before any of the others.
Big Lots is the bomb. We set up my mother's apartment just from them. I enjoy your channel and learning keeps you young! Blessings to you and your family. Thank you for the bright spot your videos bring to my days.
Girl I love big lots! Always finding some random gems there!
Thank you.....I haven't been to Big Lots in about 12 yrs....and I'm sure I'll be hitting Big Lots really soon!
Love your channel.
geez what BL did you go to - this was the Cadillac of all the stores - none of mine look like that lol
Same with her dollar tree and I live in a planned community nice neighborhood.
Mine either!!
Going to check ours out and see if there have been changes... many years ago, ours were super nice....😳
@@amyandrewbeauto3428 check around, I have two that are approximately 4 miles from me in opposite directions. One is a dump, and one is super nice. They are both in the same degree of neighborhood. It pays to shop around. Good luck 😊
I believe she goes to Big Lots in pineville-matthews area near Charlotte, NC. May be a different one in this video though! Huge Dollar tree she usually goes to is one on freedom dr in Charlotte
I'm addicted to your videos. Love love it!!
Wish Toronto/Canada had big lot & Target and Khols...
Thank U for being so creative & teaching us to save money with style ;)
Big Lots was our first stop when I was helping my sister set up house after her divorce.
MacFrugals, yes! I love Big Lots. My fave is the seasonal items; Summer, fall and Christmas. Best prices!
I'd love to also see how you style the home decor from big lots!
The Broyhill brand throw pillows are so nice, I just bought 4.
I do shop at Big Lots though not always. Bought our patio furniture too! I've purchased food, patio lights, flower urns, all great! Thanks girl and love your earrings!!!
Been shopping Big Lots since it was called “Pic N Save”, and then, “MacFrugals”. Does anyone else remember that? Haha-is anyone else as old as me? 🤣
The two brothers who started "pic n save", were generous, kind human beings. They had profit sharing, both in cash and in stocks, full medical, vacation and full retirement. All employees were full time, they got paid overtime, wages started at $1.50/hr over minimum wage, and when they hired temp employees for inventory, they paid the equivalent of what an employee would earn with benefits. Minimum wage was 3.35, and they paid close to $10/hr to those temp employees.
When minimum wage went from 3.35/hr to 4.25, EVERY employee got a. 90¢ an hour raise! The employees were so grateful, they sold their stock to a 3rd party, and that 3rd party did a hostile takeover, and the brothers were kicked out. The first thing the new owners did was cut the profit sharing, cut hours, cut benefits and retirement was frozen.
The employees had cut off their nose to spite their face. 😭
@@mrsducky3428 that is incredible sad! 😢
I remember Pic N Save!!!
🙋♀️
@@mrsducky3428 i lived in pic n save in my youngest years when i couldn't afford expensive high end clothing and make-up, made me sad when i couldn't find the store anymore ... so thats what happened 😢, hate corporates that destroy the few good to people businesses😤
We bought our bed and bed frame. You showed the bed frame we got in your video. We went with the Serta stay in the box because we could fit it in our car plus we waited for when they had their bed and mattress sales at the beginning of the year. Instead of the matching side tables, we bought the kid’s white 6 cube organizers which were buy one get one half off. The same standard cube storage weren’t on sale in the store but it’s the same quality. They didn’t have the cloth cubes that fit in stock so we did buy those at Walmart on clearance. We also bought our silicone oven liner there for $6! It makes cleaning the oven so easy now!
Love Big Lots! Love the decor items and we always go there for Christmas gifts first!
Hello how are you doing today ?
I also love their selection of bathroom items. Everything to make a bathroom beautiful.
I love when they have their 20% off sale!
Big lots is my go-to store for organic pasta sauces, organic seasonings etc. Super great deals on high end pet food too!
Loved the doggie 🐶 “showing” the rods lol He’s adorable 😍
I love the skillets and pans. They have good quality products for the kitchen.
I love Big Lots very reasonable prices and I love all their kitchen products.
My cousin-in-law always gets the most AWESOME Christmas Presents-- and she always goes to Big Lots. She got me the most adorable matching Christmas Blanket and Pillow Set. I loved using it on the plane back home!
The fact that your big lots looks clean and amazing makes me jealous. My big lots looks like a hurricane ransacked the place 😩😭
That's depends on the level of civilized customer you get and the employees cleaning it up.
Well not necisarily ours is being re-done so yeah it was run down! Now their remodeling so its still not done yet! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Still alot of good buys & products! 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Most I have been in looked like old, close-out stores.
Mine too...and so expensive...higher than every other store too!!! This new management has not improved big lots...I will never waste my time and go back.
Lol!!! Mine too.... Like where's this Big Lots at? 🤔🤣
I love, love, love Big Lots Clearance Section. You can find some good things super cheap!!!!
