What's Your Favorite Store?

Mine is BIG LOTS--"Brand Names at Closeout Prices."

They have EVERYTHING, from food to clothing, that have been discontinued at EXTREMELY low prices.

I got a SOLID MAHOGANOY desk there for FIFTY dollars (that is NOT a misprint.)

Unfortunately for all you New Yorkers, I believe it is exclusively a Southwestern chain...

They have it in South Florida... at least they air the advertisements down here.

I think I made a thread like this a few months back--and the one you wrote on the main board about movies into musicals! Following in my footsteps Mary??

TJ Maxx/Marshalls is my LIFEEEEE.

And there are Big Lots opening in NY--there's one on Long Island.

We have Big Lots in Indiana. Let's see what else, I love Meijer and though I am a college student I can never pass up a trip to Toys R Us. We also have a store called DEALS! DEALS! DEALS! here where my school is that is like the Dollar store but better.

Kohls and KMart. They're both affordable and have great clothes.

as much as I've loved living in NY, not a day goes by I don't consider moving somewhere else just to be closer to a TARGET and a COSTCO

ny has costco! we always used to go to it when we went to visit family in ny. at the time it was the closest costco... however, it's not in the city. i think it's closer to palisades center or something like that.

I know there's a COSTCO in one of the outer boros, but I don't have a car in which to transport the items I would buy in bulk. Taking the subway out there and having to be sensible with my purchases would simply hurt too much.

very good point. not having a car and costco don't mix. very glad the roomies have cars... i can go w/ them to costco and not worry about it.

if I could walk a mile in your shoes, I'd walk to your roomies' car and take it to costco. I'd proceed to buy upwards of 25 lbs of beef product, 3000 AA batteries, and a six-pack of wedding ring. I'd probably keep the shoes too out of spite. but don't take it personally.

I think my favorite stores are either clothing stores or music stores.

Target. Is there a target in the NYC area that you can get to by subway?

Matt,

Your new icon...

Well, this is just ME... but maybe try a LITTLE makeup before having your picture taken? :)

there is a CostCo in Queens and one in Brooklyn (i think)... we recently went to the one in New Rochelle on the way home from Cape Cod...

i love Crate&Barrel...

We have Big Lots here in CT and I just love that place. Ikea is another favorite and we just got one in New Haven. I love Trader Joe's and rumor has it we are getting one within a year. Wal Mart is also my second home.

OOO OOO OOO Trader Joes!!! love Whole Foods, too...

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 10/28/04 at 7:28pm

You'd have to go into either Brooklyn or Queens to get to Target in NYC, Matt...

New York & Co. Strawbridge & Clothier, Boscov's, Old Navy, Victoria Secert, Bath & Body Works, Salad Works, Canals Liquor, Chick-Fill-A, Boston Market. Yep, I pretty much live at most of these places every week or so!

Haha Mary, you flatter--you can walk with me, as opposed to behind me!!

I'm always in a Costco. There's one in Brooklyn and also in Staten Island. I love to walk around Williams Sonoma. I love the Container Store and Bed, Bath and Beyond.
