Interesting discount store. Its like a treasure hunt. They have food, clothes, furniture, houseware, cleaning products, and even toys.

Big Lots always seems to have what I cant find in other places. I have been looking for cafe rod holders. Not at Target. Not at Home Depot. Not at Walmart. I quit looking. Happen to hit Big lots and there were. Thanks Big Lots!!

What a mess! Just look at the pictures and judge for yourself. Merchandise laying on the floor all over the store, lots of empty shelves, missing price labels, and furnitures on display look dated and old. What’s more is the long wait time to pay even though there isn’t a long line of customers waiting to pay. I counted 3 cashier’s lines opened and 6 employees standing behind the cashier counter doing busy work. No one seems to be in charged.

Rather small store. The line in unbelieving long and slow. Items are not great quality.

Amazing customer service everything I go except for one young lady who was very very rude, not wanting to help. Everyone else from the management to the cashier has been absolutely amazing.

The staff was super helpful and nice. They price matched an item from Walmart and did it with a smile! Thank you so much!Unfortunately they were out of shopping carts, because of the homeless stealing them... but I found 1 in the parking lot. Thanks again

Slowest cashiers ever. Waited 20 min to pay... another worker was walking around the long line adjusting shelves.... like open another lane. Next time I’ll just go to lucky for anything I need. Watched 3 people walk in and look at the line and turn right around... wish I did that.

Terrible customer service the last few times Ive been there. During my most recent visit, I was discriminated against by a Latina employee who refused to help me in her lane as she was finishing up the current transaction. She immediately told me there was only one line (referring to the other cashier), so I went to that line. However, after I left, she helped other customers from other ethnicities. I returned and confronted her, which she replied that she was only able to do credit card transactions, but she NEVER even asked me, assuming that I would be paying with cash.Also, the manager here is LAZY and unhelpful when you ask a question and refers you to the employees. Other customers and I waited in line for over 20 minutes. He walked around but didnt bother to open up another register. A respected manager helps out customers, including with cashiering when its busy.

Review №14

Good prices in general, especially on snacks, general cleaning supplies, but the lines are always long, and some sales reps are really helpful while others can be rude and ignorant. Today, I had two items, and the other cashiers was busy handling long lines of customers, then she appeared to open a second registers, so I relinquished my position on the busy line and joined her line. By the time my turn came up, she told me the line was closed, GOD! How rude!

Store is ok... the guy that was working the check out was super nice... but he was the only checker and it took forever to get through the line. But he was really nice. It is what it is right now. I went for some bed sheets and got what i needed and for a good price.

Review №20

I waited in line to check out for about 20 minutes. Not enough clerks & the 2 that were there were in no hurry (1 talking on the phone, 1 saying she couldnt see well because she forgot her glasses, holding conversations with each other & some customers while the line of waiting customers got longer and longer). Real bad experience.

No TP in handicap bathroom, bathroom a mess, cashier can’t visualize 6’ and made me step back til I was called. No 6’ markers on floor. We have so little human contact during COVID we need more than cashiers just being rule enforcers. Avoid this store.

Review №29

The reason I put 1 star is because dont have lessfirst the complete store is very disorganized., second they do not make people wear masks inside the store knowing that the city requires it., the employee named David who wanted to serve me after having treated the man without a mask did not disinfect the register area and still taking calls personal cell phone very bad management of the store seems there is no manager 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

This is a good place to buy some quick snacks or drinks, some miscellaneous household items, furniture, gardening equipment, and tools. There are also DVDs, music CDs, and a few electronics. Some of the signage can be deceiving though. I bought two Pepsis thinking Ill be paying 88¢ each. It turns out I had to buy 3 to get the deal. Another complaint is they usually only have one cashier and the line can be slow at times.

Review №34

This is an overpriced junk store. Many of the snack items are smaller (for example 4oz instead of 5oz) than in regular grocery stores for the same or similar prices. Numerous products do not have pricing on the shelf tags so you have no idea what the cost is until the item is rung up at the register.When I first entered the store a couple had just finished checking out and when they looked at their receipt they discovered that the sales clerk had charged them $60 from the prior customers transaction. They had to go through the hassle of having the clerk examine the receipt, find the problem, and then correct it. I did not purchase anything and I will not go back!

Review №35

Fun store! Not exactly sure how to categorize it (maybe similar to Grocery Outlet?), but what youll find is a bit of a surprise. The inventory doesnt seem to be as quickly turned around /refreshed as Grocery Outlet, so I wouldnt venture there looking for new turnover more than once per week (unless you know for certain they have what you need).

Review №36

Not a bad store to shop at if youre looking for good deals on food and furniture. You just have to be sure to look at the expiration dates of the food that you will be purchasing as I have found some of the food items where the expiration dates had passed. I think that Big Lots can sell thier items at such a discounted price because many of the items are close to being expired. Other than the food though, they have great deals on patio furniture as well as kitchen products such as pots and pans as well as microwave ovens. I even bought a vacuum cleaner here for a great price. Sometimes the inventory in the store is scattered on the shelves and can be a bit disorganized, but overall, Big Lots is worth taking a look at to see what kind of deals they have that you can take advantage of.

Review №39

I loved Big Lots when it was McFrugals. I loved Big Lots for a long time after it was Big Lots but it looks to me like, like many places, its going downhill and thats very sad. Store has a jumbled, unkempt look. Too much clutter in the aisles and very little help available. Parking is great at the El Camino at Lawrence store. On a positive note I did find some absolutely perfect Christmas gifts so, all in all, Ill keep shopping there for good prices but miss some of the great stuff that they used to carry.

Review №53

Big Lots has certainly changed from what it started out as. I remember it when it sold a huge collection of just about anything discounted. Now, I am not sure if it is more a higher end- furniture store or more a full on grocery store.

You will get all the regular items (except fresh produce) here. Definitely not to the extent Walmart carries, but enough for your day-to-day needs. I havent observed any item priced above other stores or even Walmart, for that matter.

Looking for food & discount Knickknacks never better than Big Lots. Although stock varies dependent on availability, Items that are consistent include Bear Creek Soup Starter mixes, canned Progresso Soup, Ghirardelli Brownie mix, an assortment of Bobs Red Mill flour, beans & steel cut oats, and pet food. BL has a small cold section with essentials like milk, cheese & butter, and expanded their furniture department. Bring your own plastic bags. Parking is convenient. Public restrooms are available upon request.

Considerably good selection of items that are here, again depending on how much you are getting you $$ little extra too but I guess its worth it to visit and check out this particular store & or their website in any case and of course most of all great customer service from the sales floor associates!!😉☺👍👌

Review №88

Aisles are so narrow, two carts cannot fit through at the same time. Shoppers in SV tend to leave their carts willy nilly as they walk through aisles, so oftentimes I cant get down an aisle I need because of its narrow construction. Prices on coffee may be worth this frustration.
