Good point
We stopped in Big Lots last W/E. What a dump that place is inside. They had some bargains but overall I'd say mostly junk that other stores couldn't sell and much of it was what I'd consider pricy.
Oh back to my original point, the building is part of the Belknap Mall and it looks kinda nice from the outside, so outside appearance doesn't always mean the inside will look clean and neat.
A lot of these little places have really been creeping up on prices. I used to visit Cheapo Depot a couple of times a year. About 2 years ago I noticed some of their prices were higher then I could get fresh, not outdated or stale products for at Sam's club. When I mentioned this the owner said if you don't like the prices you can always look somewhere else. That was the last time I've bought anything there. I do occasionally stroll through, but unless it is a real bargain I walk out not spending any money.
I used to get all my bleach from him, I'd buy it 15-20 at a time when he had it, then he went up so much that it wasn't worth going out of my way when for a few cents more I could get it locally and not travel out of my way.
