Big Lots

I came here to shop for a good bargain .
I saw a BBQ grill that did not have a price and had broken parts no knobs or handle or the tank. That was the only one left .so I thought they will sell it in a decent price.
The sales person said that they will call the manager to price it. OK after that waited there for 45 minutes no one came. A very bad customer service. a lot of things doesn’t have prices in it. Called the store to talk to the manager, standing in the store but was not able to reach him. very sad store…

Who doesn’t love Big lots! Its a bargain store. You win some and you may lose some!
Its a nice big store that sells almost EVERYTHING that you need from house goods, furniture, food, school supplies… the list can go on and on.
I love this location because its right next door to a Dollar store so when you feel that you got the spending fever, just head to the Dollar store and find some more good stuff for the low!
I came here on 1÷14÷15 as I was looking for a flower pot for my plants and OH BOY! They had more options then I had thought. Any size I wanted for a reasonable price! I wish I would go to Home Depot or messy Ross! Big Lots is the best place!
I loved how clean the store was! I was surprised, everything was so nice and neat on the shelf and the staff here are so friendly.
They may not ask, «How can I help you» but they will be a helpful hand if you needed to find anything.
Great selection for their furniture. I bought a vacuum here a while ago and it works AMAZING!
One star off because I feel they can do a better job at the cash register. They have tons of cashier tables but only one staff working. Im like Really? but as soon as I gave the cashier the «your kidding me» look she instantly called someone to the front to help with the line.
All them staff in the store should be cross trained to do everything in the store. So I am hoping the next time I come in here that the lines wont be as crazy as they were last time.
Check this out! You will definitely leave finding some good stuff here!

My local Big Lots is a nice place to score some good deals. The selection here is always good and I am consistently impressed with the organization of the place.
They have a decent selection of furniture, home goods, gardening and outdoor equipment and staple pantry items. I can always score a good deal on buffalo wing sauce– they sell a super generic Louisiana brand for a buck and it is fantastic!
One star off for the checkout situation. They have lines set up like a grocery store but no organization as to how to wait in line. Sometimes people wait in one long line and other times they wait separately at each station. The worst though is on people have formed one lone line and unknowing folks just swoop in an go to a far line. The cashiers just check them out because they probably do not even realize what is happening. This can lead to some tense moments in the store. If they would clearly mark the checkout procedures I would have less heartburn when I visit!
Make sure you sign up for the free rewards program to score some deals if you frequent this chain.

I came here for some sand box toys for my son… Prices where very reasonable… The lines where very short… Not like what the other reviews had to say… It must be all about the time of day you go… Only con was that people drove like idiots in the parking lot so stay alert…

don’t bother writing a review they take down what they don’t like and KAREN assistant manager who thinks it’s funny a customer had to wipe their ass with a seat cover YOU LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A CRACKHEAD

My shopping here was a good experience over all. I moved a few months ago and purchased a sofa, recliner chair, end table with attached lamp, and table & chair set. The prices are excellent and priced for people on a budget. The staff (although under staffed) members were really nice and helpful especially Marvin and Sal in the furnishings department. When I need anything for my apt I always check Big Lots first!

I was looking for inexpensive but cute outdoor décor and my friend recommended to come here. The location isn’t the greatest, and neither is some of the clientele, but the manager was really sweet and helpful. I was looking for a particular patio set and he helped me find it. The lines we’re pretty long so he opened up another line and helped to ring people.
Sometimes you can find some deals and others you just gotta walk away with nothing!

Newly remodeled store, looks good prices seem higher though. My problem with this place is the employees. Straight up rude, unfriendly and to be honest ghetto. I’d rather pay more than deal with their employees. Whoever is managing this store needs a serious lesson on BASIC customer service and go from there. From what I saw today I’d fire the lot of them and START OVER!

prices seem to have gone up a lot
don’t buy watches there, they are pieces of crap, i got a good one 2 years ago, but since then they just sell crap ones, they brought in lots name brand p&g stuff like tide
you can buy it cheaper at safeway, they keep changing the store around 3 times in 3 months, so you cant find anything, i bought frying pans for $ 12
this week I saw them $ 24
that’s a 100% price rise
tills very slow
and no staff to help you
batteries cheap there
one week they had no bags, how can you run a store with no bags
the next week they sold bags with no handles, most people are walking, you need handles
the place looked like its about to shut for good, very little on the shelves

I hate this MFin place. This particular Big Lots. They ALWAYS have long lines and only 1 cashier. You can see them talking among themselves and the line growing longer and longer — do you think one of them would get on the register — NOOOOOO. UUUrrgghhhh!!! It sucks that this IS THE ONLY BIGLOTS in Hayward. The other one off of Lewelling closed a while back. This one was much better — more cashiers etc. Now we’re stuck with this BS.
If you have to go to this particular Big Lots — go when they FIRST open. If not — its a freakin wrap and you’re more than likely to go postal in there.

Love this place. I hadn’t been since I moved here from Minnesota three years ago because there wasn’t one in my area, but now I work in Hayward once a week so, bingo! I needed a cheap rug and one of my coworkers let me know that Big Lots had them for $ 20 and sure enough… they had exactly the color and size I wanted and it was $ 20. Brilliant. I also carried around a $ 5 DVD of «Snow White: A Tale of Terror» while I looked at rugs, thinking I would buy it, but managed to resist by the time I got back up to the cash register.
I did take some pictures of a tall skinny cabinet that I’m interested in buying for our bathroom… I should probably go back and make sure it’s still there… it wasn’t great quality, but you know, you get what you pay for. I’d still buy it because it was attractive and would probably fit our purposes.

I love bargains. So I love Big Lots in all its hot-​mess potential. Sure there’s plenty of tacky but there’s also lots of brand-​name finds. I regularly purchase Back to Basics shampoo, Crayola art supplies, Charmin, and Kleenex or Puffs. Recently, I even found Inka Korn, typically sold in Whole Foods and gourmet grocery stores like Estudillo Produce, for a dollar a pack. It’s a great place to get cards, toys, and pet supplies.
I’m not going to lie and say you won’t risk your health stepping into one of their two unisex bathrooms. Cleanliness is inconsistent. The lock on one of the doors has been busted since my daughter was learning to walk. So time your trip carefully.

We came here to get some recliners that we could not find at the one in Livermore. This Big Lots has awesome employees who went above and beyond to help us. Cannot say that for the Big Lots in Livermore. The neighborhood doesn’t seem like the greatest though.
Overall, they have great products for cheap and great customer service.

Bg Lots has expanded it’s food department to carryig gourmet products that didn’t make it commercially manstream.
missed any of these? now discounted. sighted here.
–newman’s chocolate chip/​newtons cookies2)

–chickens salad mix (1), must add chicken & salad.
buys:
-«fresh find» venzuela chocolate (1.5)

marketing failure: bland tea taste, sweet taste, hipsters wouldn’t like
peace sign: turnoff to to working class buyers.
notes:
-«fresh find» is an house brand for big lots
–not sure i want to try guy’s sauce for 2ish
–many items didn’t seem cheap (3ish).

I dislike this side of Mission and avoid shopping over here for any reason. When I needed a steam cleaner for the day I had to. I rented their Rug Doctor for 20 bucks. Carpets looked Brand New before a move out. The next day I had the steam cleaner in my trunk from moving and it was due back by 12 noon. At 1pm I realized I had it still. We rushed to return and I feared of an additional charge, but they were really nice and waived all additional Fees. In my book that’s good service!

Its a hit or miss here, but you can get some GREAT deals on snacks, toiletries, glass wear & seasonal decorations. Just be sure you check all «sell by» dates, as some are near their expiration date.
Area can be a little sketchy if you aren’t familiar with the neighborhood.
Happy shopping amigos :)

I’m grumpy these days. I don’t know if it’s the plummeting unemployment rate, or the rising gas prices that are bringing me down. Maybe it’s the fact that Obama looks like he’s been fighting an uphill battle and losing. Well, I guess he has. Times have been rough on both him and me. My pocketbook keeps screaming «I’m hungry!!!». Trust me, I know. In any case Big Lots, with their random items, low prices, and friendly staff, are a welcome relief. Two bucks for oven-​roasted turkey Spam? Hello! A dollar for watercolors I can put in my classroom? Hell yeah! I can get down with Big Lots. And what they don’t have, I can just pick up next door at the 99 cent store.

This store is one of the cleaner, neater Big Lots that I have visited. The layout doesn’t always make sense, but that’s the adventure!
I have a compulsion to stop in any Big Lots that I’m near. I’m on the hunt for the discontinued Pace 3-​pepper salsa. I didn’t find any here, but I always find good deals.
This is a great place to stock up on party supplies as has been mentioned before. Also a good place to check for kids toys before heading to Target or Walmart.
If you find something that you use often and the price is good, stock-​up before it all disappears.

You’ll like this place if you are ready for a Ghetto-​Fabulous time.
This is the place to come if you want to decorate your coworkers cube in crap-​tastic glory for valentines day, their birthday or just because. If you need to store things in big plastic bins, plastic plant pots 3 for $ 1, toys for your dog or cat, crafts supplies, roller ball pens or little Christmas thingies to make your wrappings extra merry-​and-​bright, go here. Finally, when you are buying gifts for the annual toy drive, you will find Dora the Explora, Steroid-​Ken, Ho-​bag-​Barbie, Tonka trucks, Legos and (if you lean Republican) lots of toy guns and plastic soldiers. You can pay less here or pay more elsewhere.
Do NOT go here to furnish or decorate your home, buy dinner, paint, bras or shoes. PU-​LEEEEEZE have a little self respect!

I don’t care what anyone says about this store chain because you will not be able to buy the same things for less at a regular department store. .. period.
I like this store’s location because you can shop here first to get your household, garden, auto, furniture items, etc., then sashay your fine self a few doors down and shop for your food survival stuff at 99 Cent Store.
Sweet. .. you save gas, time, and your hard-​earned moola!
