Ollies: A Fun Place to Shop for Deals

Tweet

Have you ever been to an Ollie's store? It's basically a hodge podge of closeouts and blowout deals and I'd have to say it's a pretty fun store to walk through. They have everything from household goods to certain food items, rugs, games, toys, pretty much anything you could possibly think of. As stores like this go, deals come and go and there's always something new and interesting popping up. The prices are pretty good too. I once bought a $200 scissor foot camping grill for $79. And the other day I picked up a 4 ounce container of oregano for less than $3. I like stores like this because it's like a huge virtual "junk" sale, but all brand name and new stuff. It's fun to see what new things show up to look at. And like I said, you do often find some pretty good deals. It's a bit of a trek, about 40 minutes from my house. But it is a fun little place to go to from time to time just to get out of the house for a bit and while I don't necessarily enjoy that kind of shopping, this kind for me is actually fun. There are funny sayings and signs throughout the store as well. One of them that caught my attention said, "Never criticize your wife's choices. Remember, you were one of them."
