OK, I’m not exactly sure how this store came to be.
Did someone just happen to own a little bit of every possibly useful, practical thing in existence? And decide to sell it all at very nice prices?
Everything from handbags, to shoes, to kitchen necessities (including a very nice bamboo cutting board we bought for $ 5) to sketchpads, receipt pads, decorations, pantyhose, car stuff, batteries and quite literally anything else you may need in any single category. Yes, it’s all here… under one roof.
Whoever you are, Hu… thank Hu!!!

I brought some friends to Hu’s today so that they could experience all the wonderfulness that is Hu’s Discount Store. They said it was like going to Chinatown in NYC. You can find everything in this store. Everything. Clothes, undergarments, shoes, toys, school/​office supplies, kitchen gadgets, tools, cords and adaptors, cleaning supplies, health and beauty products, reading glasses, wigs, candy and more. Don’t expect the highest quality for the low prices you’ll see, but it is a good place to pick up certain items. It’s also just a fun place to visit!

Like most establishments of this type, it smells like vinyl. I kind of wonder about the long term health effects for the people who work here.
Despite this, it’s a fun spot to shop. I love finding weird international packaging of well known brands.
The wig selection is A-​MAH-​ZING!
But no more than 30 minutes in there or you’ll leave light headed. For real, you might get cancer.

Every time I recommend this place to someone, they’ve never heard of it. That’s too bad. This is a great little discount store where you can get most of your common household items for very low prices. I have also found it to be a great place for finding the perfect costume jewelry and accessories. There’s a lot of interesting stuff to be found here and I’d highly recommend stopping in to take a look.
One word of caution: If you are buying clothes there, they are not sized in US sizes. I bought something in an Xtra-​Large (I’m normally a medium or large) and I couldn’t even get this thing on my body at all. They only do exchanges, no returns, so buyer beware with the clothes, everything runs VERY small.

Hu’s discount reminds me of walking down Canal street in NYC. The items they have for sale with even the display and packaging.
It’s like Canal street wrapped up into one big ball. Cheap stuff made in China, lots of things that you could buy on the street if we had a real chinatown here in Buffalo.
Cool variety, good women’s accessories, weird smell.
If you’re looking for something a little more bright and shiny; check out 99 cent city on Union Rd.

Hu’s is one of those places that I find myself wandering around for an hour just absolutely staring in wonder at everything you never knew you needed. There are some honest to betsy staples like bar soap, dish soap, and household items. There also things that blew my mind like the black tanktop with the word babe on it in diamonds or the myriad of wigs and tennis shoes. There are also scary weird things like the little boys underwear with the suspiciously creepy photo on the box and the brand name Cupid Boy.
I came out of there with some actual useful items and a few silly «gag gift» type things for the bf.
Hu’s is great for a laugh or to get a pizza cutter for your kitchen in a moment’s notice or on the cheap. Head’s up though we were told there is a $ 5 minimum on cards.

This is Buffalo’s Chinatown: If you need quick household items, chances are you can find it here and at half the price found @ most places. FYI — you can return stuff for store credit. Just beware the sketchy characters that shop here — the other day they caught some guy shoplifting a Snickers bar… keepin it classy…

Hu’s sells stuff you often need, cheap. If I need Dove soap, Ajax, Drano, or even the gum I like, I can find it at Hu’s…for about a dollar. Why would I drive to Target, when I can walk to Hu’s?
I wouldn’t go here for complicated tools that I need to work. The «Trisonic» brand has disappointed me. The flypaper caught no flies, and I tried to use some plastic clamps to hold my hotseat to the Bills bleachers, but 2⁄4 snapped. Luckily these trials have cost me only about $ 3 total. I’m not sure if I want to try the underwear or socks yet… But if I need TP in a pinch, I’m running to Hu’s.
