Pros and cons here..
Price wise? If you are looking for specific items, from my experience, there is a moderate chance you'll find a deal. There are also great coupons offered. I wouldn't personally do my "everyday" shopping here (e.g. groceries). For the sake of saving a penny. But, if you value your personal space and peace over that, Big Lots offers less of the looming anxiety I have generally felt at other major stores like Wal Mart or Kroger.
That being said, I've found some great home items here to adorn my living space. At competitive prices. I also had a great experience with after-holiday clearance. The selection and deals were better than Wal Mart. ~Elizabeth
