::sigh:: Oh Big Lots...I remember when you were MacFrugal's...and before that, Pic'n'Save...those were the good ol' days...
I still like Big Lots, and I'll admit, the quality and the variety of the items that they sell now has greatly improved from many years ago. Unfortunately, that also means that some of their prices aren't all that budget friendly. Frequently I can find comparable (or even nicer!) items for my house on sale at Target, Kohl's, Marshall's or Ross! That's not supposed to happen! Nevertheless, I still stop once in a while, usually when I need stuff for my classroom at school or when I want to check on the latest bargains available. But if you're looking for specific items, know your prices before you buy!
