Transcript

00:00That is the largest naturally occurring bag of a product I have ever seen, frankly.

00:08When was the last time you went to Big Lots? You really, like, touted it as a great place to go

00:1210 years ago. I used to love it. I didn't know I could

00:14always go to a job lot, but it's a little different. It is another good value store,

00:18you can get a lot of great buys. The percentage of, like, discounted goods went down,

00:22and the full price goods went up. We went to Party City to see them close.

00:26These guys are also closing either this month or next month. It occurred to me,

00:29we did junk carts on both of those in 2015, 10 years ago.

00:32Wow. That's crazy.

00:33That was, like, season one junk cart stuff. We're in Swansea at what used to be the

00:37Swansea Movie Theater Plaza. Yes.

00:39We came here once for a Joanne's with my mom. Which is gone now.

00:42That's closed. There's a place that just says Chinese food.

00:45It's always been there. Have you ever eaten there?

00:47I have never been there for Chinese food. Neither have I, and I want to go.

00:50Eating a mayo! A succulent Chinese mayo! So we're going to take a bite at Big Lots.

00:54Yeah, you know what? I'm not really going to miss it, I don't think.

00:57I'm going to get a snazzy orange cart because it looks like a brand new.

01:00One problem, the carts are outside, but the door is not automatic to get in.

01:04I remember when we came here, I was especially hit by the furniture section.

01:07I just thought it was odd.

01:08This place is a great source of cheap temporary couches.

01:11That huge couch over there, that whole setup, $6.99.

01:14Like, these pillows aren't half bad.

01:16That's a nice corner sofa.

01:17I have a slight desire for a standalone recliner for my living room.

01:21Yeah. A standalone.

01:22This is actually exactly what I'm talking about, but I need a better deal than this.

01:25Look, the dual cup holders that are lit.

01:28What is all this?

01:28Oh, it's the controls. Power controls for the chair.

01:30This is perfect for you.

01:31Who would this possibly be for?

01:32You!

01:33If not for me.

01:33If you just had a little bit bigger of a living room.

01:35It's a recliner too, somehow.

01:37Put it up!

01:40Wave, steady pulse. This is a massage chair, my love.

01:42Is it massaging you?

01:43No.

01:44It actually is kind of a great two-seater.

01:46Hey!

01:47Gloria looks like she's really loving it.

01:49Please don't touch my couch.

01:50I threw myself on this couch and it feels like throwing myself into a wall.

01:55Oh, that's hard.

01:56Add an extra bed under here. You could pull out for a friend.

01:58I think we're learning that Gloria loves furniture shopping.

02:01Mesh carts and rolling bins and lousy office chairs.

02:05Impractical storage.

02:06Yes. Like, what are you going to put on that?

02:07I do kind of like the clocks, honestly.

02:09I don't have a clock, like, in my house.

02:10You want one?

02:11No.

02:12I mean, I have that big one I really like, but it doesn't work anymore.

02:14So now it's just kind of wall art.

02:16Dining room table and stuff.

02:17It wasn't a terrible place to go for like, hey, I just need a table.

02:20I would honestly pay $9.99.

02:23$17.99?

02:24Yeah, but it is glass.

02:26It's glass. If it smashes, it smashes into a trillion pieces.

02:29And we own $17.99 worth of glass.

02:31Apple crust. Want your whole house to reek like apple crust?

02:34Reek like crust, yeah.

02:35What are those?

02:36So many pictures of homes and home staging for a selling, and it's just wooden links.

02:40Why is this the style of the time?

02:42It's meant to put your keys on.

02:43I saw these little hooks and I thought it looked like coat hangers.

02:47What's going on?

02:47Sculptures of stuffed dogs, balloons.

02:50This is a style now by Mikasa, which is a fairly famous design house.

02:55Which means it's popular.

02:56Yes.

02:57I like this.

02:58Now it looks like it's filthy.

02:59Somehow it got absolutely filthy.

03:01I want to know if I can cuddle up with that like I could on the other one.

03:04I mean, you can.

03:05The cuddling options are reduced, but not eliminated.

03:07When we had a studio, I bought a Bluetooth like tower speaker from here for like $40.

03:12I figured this would be a good place for like Bluetooth junk.

03:15Yes.

03:15Chinese e-waste.

03:16Exactly.

03:16Just direct to, you can e-waste it directly out of the store.

03:19I'm kind of surprised the inventory is completely unchanged in the last six years.

03:22It's exactly the same stuff.

03:24And maybe that's a clue.

03:26Somebody's going to buy 200 of the locations and operate them still as Big Lots.

03:30Have you been paying any attention to the sales?

03:32They're very modest.

03:3320% off apparel.

03:34Look at this enormous bag of kettle corn.

03:38Holy crap.

03:38Absolutely enormous.

03:39That is the largest naturally occurring bag of a product I have ever seen, Frankie.

03:45I don't know if people understand just how big it is.

03:49There is no way you can get through this much kettle corn before it went stale.

03:53You're not storing that in a kitchen.

03:54I mean, you have to store it in the kettle room.

03:56Competition from Amazon, Walmart, and Costco.

03:59And debt.

03:59They have a lot of debt.

04:00And failure to recover from bankruptcy.

04:02I don't know that it occupies its own niche enough.

04:04No, it's like just kind of a section of Walmart here.

04:08And like waiting to beat Walmart's prices?

04:10No.

04:10I know they're in the process of shutting down, but the inventory is so boring.

04:13I'm so bored.

04:14Just the same tired crap.

04:16Look, a Ruth Bader Ginsburg puzzle.

04:18Ew, it's for International Woman's Day.

04:21If you thought women were a puzzle.

04:22That's RBG, Frankie.

04:24Notorious RBG.

04:26Oh, you guys like these little dump trucks?

04:27What do you think?

04:27This is junk.

04:28You don't feel it.

04:29Oh, is it?

04:30Yeah, it's junk.

04:31Oh, it's tiny and cute.

04:33It is tiny and cute, but it's also junk.

04:35Lunumumbo!

04:37I don't really like these bows.

04:39They're metal and don't sound good, and I hate them.

04:42I kind of like it, and I kind of love it.

04:44Well, everyone has opinions because you didn't like my dump trucks, and now I don't like your

04:50bows.

04:51That's correct.

04:51You're absolutely right, Gloria.

04:53Gloria, opinions are like armpits.

04:55Everybody's got two of them, and they both stink.

04:57A holiday thimble.

04:59A noisy, not good sounding holiday thimble.

05:02Gloria hates the jingling and jangling.

05:04Stop!

05:04Oversized novelty.

05:06Jingle bell, jingle bell.

05:08I prefer them in green.

05:10You finally got them.

05:11I finally got them.

05:12Yeah, they're 50% off.

05:13It's a great deal.

05:14I couldn't even find my ornament hangers.

05:16I didn't have Christmas essentials.

05:19When she makes a statement, she needs it fully acknowledged and closed out.

05:22Yes, closed it out.

05:25Mark it complete.

05:25Gloria was in her first grade classroom, and she asked if she could go to the bathroom,

05:30and she didn't get complete affirmative acknowledgement from the teacher.

05:34She got, mm-hmm, yeah, and so she went.

05:36And when she got back, the teacher said, I didn't know you were gone.

05:38And from that point on, Gloria was like, I'm waiting until I hear full acknowledgement.

05:44She didn't even say yeah or mm-hmm.

05:46I don't remember which one it was.

05:48So you interpreted some other sound she made as an mm-hmm.

05:50You learned a good lesson about positive confirmation

05:52and really making sure people understand what you're talking about.

05:54Whenever we communicate to go somewhere,

05:56I will always put the location and the location name and the time.

06:00Yeah, it's a good idea.

06:00Like restate it as the last sentence.

06:02It's a good idea.

06:02It's all utter junk.

06:04It totally is.

06:04Why not have some good stuff?

06:06I mean, look at this.

06:07I'm not seeing anything.

06:08A random season of Sex and the City with the complete collection.

06:12Wow.

06:13Nina, instead of that giant box you have, you could just buy this for $31.99.

06:17You could have for $5 like one of these Justice League cartoons, the Chris Rock show.

06:21You know, candy in a big aisle always kind of appeals.

06:23Three bucks though for a little bag?

06:25You like an orange slice?

06:26I do, but I just got a bag like this with more content.

06:30Now it's more for $1.50 at Market Basket.

06:32I love these so much.

06:34Cherry slices, these little sugar-coated slices.

06:36They're awful for you in every possible way, but they are tasty.

06:39Nobody's going to beat Market Basket at Walmart.

06:41You're right.

06:42I mean, Market Basket is one of the kings on price.

06:44They're number one in the country on stock,

06:46but the price you have to pay is all day in the aisles.

06:48There's people restocking stuff.

06:49I get that.

06:50Chocolate?

06:50They're vegan chocolate chips with their mocha flavor,

06:53but they don't have like a ton of like weirdo crap ingredients.

06:56I'm intrigued by the mocha thing of it and that it doesn't have things like palm oil

07:01or like extra like weird sugars in it.

07:04They are $6.

07:06None of these things hold any appeal to me.

07:07I must admit, Frankie, I've become a bit of an ingredient snob.

07:11I don't buy like pre-prepared bakery things anymore.

07:15Like if I want some cookies, I'll either wait for my sisters to make some

07:18or on a rare occasion, I'll make one myself.

07:20You don't need cinnamon dust.

07:21You don't need cinnamon crunch.

07:23That stuff, look at the ingredients.

07:26This is what I'm talking about.

07:27Monoglycerides, polysorbate, sodium sterol, lactic sodium acid.

07:32Make some butter and sugar and whip it and it's way better for you.

07:36Maybe RFK Jr. will fix it.

07:38One of the things we're gonna get rid of in the first year is cinnamon dust.

07:41It's a little too small, huh?

07:43A tiny.

07:44She had a pink one just like this.

07:45Problem is you can't put your head back because you're too big for it.

07:48Now you need some medium-sized between chair that doesn't exist.

07:51What about this quick makeshift computer desk?

07:53Look, if you got 150 bucks, you need a desk for your life.

07:56I'm a little surprised to see that they have an impulse aisle.

07:59Yeah, well, I mean, that is the retailing style now.

08:01Filter everyone through the impulse aisle.

08:02I gotta say, the sales are basically non-existent right now.

08:05Right, like bargain alert five and under is not, you know,

08:09Valentine's 30% off.

08:10It's as high as it goes here.

08:12Except these.

08:12But you've been wanting those since.

08:14Since before Christmas and now I'll have them for next year.

08:16You getting anything?

08:17Just a self-satisfied sense of satisfaction.

08:20None of those chocolates?

08:22Look at this.

08:23You get candy flavored chapstick.

08:24But it's York, it's not Junior Mints.

08:26Candy flavored chapstick?

08:27No, thanks.

08:28With the brands right on them?

08:29No, thanks.

08:30A Coke for $2.39, a 20 ounce.

08:32They've got Nina's chocolate chips on the speed aisle here.

08:34Yeah, Nina. One last chance.

08:36One last chance to say no.

08:37Snickers filled cake bites.

08:39Different flavors of cotton candy.

08:40S'mores.

08:41Ew.

08:42Look, impulse Halloween overstock.

08:44Last chance to get a Big Lots bag.

08:45Look at that.

08:46So what did you spend?

08:47I spent 95 cents.

08:48Nina spent 96 cents.

08:50And we learned that they have no idea if this one's actually closed.

08:53They have no idea.

08:54They said that they just sold 400 stores to some conglomerate.

08:56Yeah, to some new...

08:57But they will still be Big Lots.

08:59It may live on, but who knows what it's going to look like and for how long.

09:02I give it a year.

09:03Automatic doors on the way out, but not on the way in?

09:05Really?
