Old Stuff

There are a few good items to price match at Walmart & Target   (both stores will match competitor ad prices) with your Big Lots ad.  But before you head over to either store, make sure yours will match Big Lots.  Some stores feel that because Big Lots offers closeout merchandise they can offer it at substantially lower prices than regular retail.  I haven’t heard too many stories about Walmart, so that may be your best bet to try and score these deals.

Why price match?
Big Lots doesn’t accept manufacturer coupons, but Target and Walmart do.  With that in mind, you can get closeout prices AND use coupons for additional savings at both of those stores. Also, make sure you join the Big Lots Buzz Club Rewards program if you plan to shop there as well.  You’ll be rewarded for every 10 purchases of $25 or more with a one time use 20% savings pass.  This is excellent if you need big ticket items like a mattress, bed, couch or something like that.  It’s equally as good if you’d like to purchase closeout priced food and toiletries!

These three items above are NOT in the weekly ad, but I know many of you have had success with Walmart honoring prices of the *New Arrivals* at Big Lots since they’re noted online as *In Store Only* deals.  With that in mind, these are already post coupon prices on some great grocery items made better with coupons.  If your Walmart will price match, you can really get some FABULOUS deals.  I mean, $0.50 V8?!?  Sure!

I also cross checked prices for 21.5″ grills – not all were kettle, but they average around $59.99 at Target.  For kicks, this grill looks IDENTICAL to me,  Kettle Charcoal Grill 21.5″ , and it’s $74 at Amazon (third party).    That cracked me up, I must say.

Nevertheless, these are great to have around for extra grilling AND to use with all of the cheap charcoal we’ve been getting lately!  When we have parties at our house, we have lots of barbecued foods that perform better when cooked over charcoal in this setting.   We just keep ours in the front driveway area outside the gate, so there isn’t a risk of children being burned by it.

And this may be obvious, but it would be quite hard to price match this one because no brand is listed, but you can stop by Big Lots and pick one up if you’re interested.  It would also make a great gift paired with a bag of charcoal!
