Big Lots

It's a sign of the times - lines to check out at the local Big Lots.

Big Lots is an outlet for discontinued or surplus inventories of household items, food, and clothing goods.

They have great deals on greeting cards and seasonal items. Yesterday school supplies were on display near the front while summer seasonal items were moved toward the center back.

I picked up a gallon of bleach for $1.50 and a bottle of ammonia for $1. I was looking for room deodorizers but didn't find what I wanted. I settled for 3 aerosol cans of spray for $1 each.

In the middle of the afternoon, the place was busy. We live in one of Money Magazines picks for best city where everyone drives a mini-van or a SUV. Big Lots is where many are stretching their dollars.

Other stores where I find deals are Dollar General and Family Dollar. You may not find everything that's on your list but they are good places to start your shopping.

'til later
