This Big Lots is located in the same strip mall as Cost Plus. That's really a bad sign for me. Between the two stores, I easily spend 2 hours looking around. And since I'm just a visitor, I mostly look at the food items. Big Lots has really good soup mixes, has lots of usual groceries at better-than-Vons prices, and they have lots of unusual brands and items that you'd never see at a "usual" grocery store.
