I LOVE Big Lots. Both of my bookcases came from there and I buy candy, linens and dog chews there.

I like Big Lots, too. I can get 4 crinkle balls for $1, instead of paying $1 each like at Petco. I even got bras and socks there!

I got my cat tree for $50. It was an ugly burgendy color, but after my cats worked on it for a couple of months you wouldn't even notice the color. They love it so much they shredded the whole thing.

Where my cats are
Yep! I like just roaming that place sometimes. My boss gets all her pet stuff there. She has 3 dogs, 4 goats, and 4 horses. Plus they are big time campers. So she loves to go there and get (mostly dog stuff I think) in multiples. One for the house and one for the camper. I believe she found some stuff there for her goats before. What I'm not sure but I'm thinking it was intended for dogs or cats.

When I buy something at the dollar stores I actually weigh the item before purchasing it. The heavier the item is, the better the quality.


I don't like buying flimsy stuff because by the time I finish replacing the stuff over and over I would have spent many times over than if I just buy quality stuff in the first place.

I've never been to Big Lots - but I LOVE Gordmans - I think it might be about the same kind of store.

I loved Gordmans when I lived in Denver but we do not have them in NY. They are pretty much the same as big lots but have nicer things.

I also love the Christmas Tree Shops...I could spend hours in there! I just did last weekend

I know I had to stop myself last week Friday because they had one of those cat beds that's a miniture of a human bed for $38. But my (4) cats already have 6 differnt pet beds to choose from & I have no where to put another one. but I did by 4 cat dancers at 99 cents a piece I couldn't pass them up!!

Queen-size sheet sets, under $20, big fluffy towels around $5, rawhide bones 2-for-a-dollar, Sterilite 3-drawer storage units $11.99 - I spend a LOT of money at Big Lots.
