What kind of stuff does BL have for doorbusters/blitzes on BF? I've been during a regular sale, to get specific items, and I buy some Xmas decorations and things there, but never been on BF.

Big Lots usually has some of last years popular toys. They usually have grandfather clocks or a curio cabinet and sometimes they have recliners at a good price. Electronics you want to be wary of though they are always rebuilt or as they call it remanufactured and are not always they best!

Last year I remember getting a particular game for my sis that was a really good price...can't remember the name of the game now though. The only thing I don't like is that they don't always seem to have the stuff that is in the ads or there are very limited quanities available

Your right there are very limited quanities, sometimes youe were lucky if you got a quater of a pallet of any one thing. Big items like furniture you are lucky if there are ten of those items.

Last year, they had MP3 players, dvd players, and stereos that were new, and extremely inexpensive. This varied by store, of course.:)

The one I always go has had $20 Fossil watches. They were new in the cute little tins. They usually run $70-100+ at The Buckle. Styles do vary though and they usually only have 5-10. Good thing is that they didn't advertise it around here the last couple of years so while everyone else busted the door down for $1.99 Barbies we got to the watches.

The Big Lots here is usually opened on Thanksgiving Day. I didn't get to go last year, but I think I will this year if they are opened. :eyepoppin I think I will be in need of a BF fix by then.

I talked to an assistant manager yesterday at Big Lots. She told me they haven't even seen the Ad yet. She was getting worried about it. That is probably why it has been leaked yet.

Etoys.com gets a lot of stuff from BL, so don't think they only sell crap. I bought a toy for my son on etoys, paid an extra 30.00 for shipping and went to BL the next day and saw it for same price of etoys minus shipping

I went to their turkey day sale last year and got an excellent deal on an electric blanket and got some great brand name toys for my son. I hope the ad is leaked soon.

I received this in my email. Evidently the Big Lots in central Mass. will be closed on Thanksgiving.

Big Lots stores in your area will be closed on Thanksgiving, but we don't want you to miss out on the one-day-only specials you might see in our circulars. That's why we're offering these specials just for you on Wednesday, November 22.

I spoke to a warehouse manager yesterday. She told me that the reason Big Lots's ad leaked late was that they were not happy with last year's BF sale and attribute it to people seeing the ad early.

Also, I found out that any Big Lots that are in a shopping center with a Raymore & Flanagan furniture store is not allowed to have furniture on the floor. That does NOT mean they do not have any. The woman told me to ask an associate for a recliner and if they have one, they will usually sell it to you - but ask you to pick it up by the loading dock rather than off the floor. :fluffy:
