Ollie's Bargain Outlet

Ollie's always has Great Bargains regularly and I hadn't been to their store in awhile so I decided to check to see what their operating hours are and AI isn't always accurate. I decided to drive there in person because I was interested in some items that I seen a week prior. I couldn't believe it when AI said the store on Elliot St was closed as no longer in business. The Good News is ; is that they were and are open and the store clerk that I shared it with confirmed that they are open and operating as usual. They were kind of enough to allow me to take some pictures of their store so that I can share it online in this post. However, way too many items to post , you will just have to check out all of their regularly amazing deals yourself ! 😀

It's really kind of jumbled and a lot of the merchandise is about what you'd expect for the money they're charging. If you're familiar with a store called Bargain Depot, it's about the same store. I think you can probably find a good deal on rugs, but the bedding that I bought wasn't very high quality. I've heard from a few men that's the tools are okay, about like Harbor Freight. I bought some solar yard lights, that have yet to work even though they've been in the sun for 3 days and the switch is on. They have the same penny press puzzle books, and a lot of children's books, and cookbooks, that you'd find other places and theirs are a little less money, so I think you could say that their book prices are good. I'd like some any bargain stores, what they have today they may not have tomorrow.

Mold....I get that this is a discount store for leftovers and overstock, but attempting to sell rags covered in mold is ridiculous. Also, in case you have an ounce of doubt as to the difference between mold and filth, consider that this is behind the tag and the exposed portion of the clothes are relatively clean. That is because the exposed portion was able to dry quicker.

Personally, I use Ollie's for skin care products, mostly like bath and body products and candles! They have the biggest best smelling candles in town (when they have them) for about $9 each, whereas Bath & Body Works charges like $24.95 for the same size. We also bought a lot of our kid presents here and they have a big book section!! You probably know this but the way they work is they buy huge batches of leftover items that say Walmart can sell or whatever and because they get it a discount and they buy in such high bulk they're able to discount them for us so they are much cheaper than products even at Walmart. I will say though that it just depends on their supply you cannot always find the thing that you want there so that's the only downside but it is a great place to go hunting and see what you can find. Oh there's a huge dog toy and pet section more stuff for dogs but you can't find stuff for cats there beds carriers leashes pet supplies stuff like that but I don't see food there regularly. I was so excited - I found a pair of real Betsy Johnson sunglasses that had stars and hearts on them for $3.99!!! What can I say? That's the kind of thing you can find there. 😉

The staff are amazing. Came in today, absolutely lost as my phone died and I've never been to this town before. I found an older gentleman, named Chris, stocking the aisles and asked if he knew where the power banks were if they had any. He walked me to the charger wall and helped me look through all the blocks and cord options. When our luck seemed slim on getting a power bank he gave me directions on how to get to the place I was trying to go and meet up with my group. Absolutely phenomenal customer service 👏
