When it comes to everyday shopping on a budget, Big Lots has it all. From home decor to outdoor furniture pieces, the store sells an array of everyday items — many of which come with a steep discount.
Like many retailers, Big Lots also updates its selection on a regular basis. Here are some newer items that are worth the money.
Chico Wicker Cushioned Patio Sofa Chaise & Ottoman Set
Price: $799.99 ($639.99 with code “EXTRA20”)
“With Memorial Day on the horizon, you can expect that Big Lots will have great deals on outdoor furniture. They typically do. But they also just released a 20% off coupon for select indoor and outdoor furniture items. It’s good online and in-store and expires on 5/2/24,” said David Bakke, Consumer Shopping Expert at DollarSanity.
One patio item to check out is the Chico Wicker Cushioned Patio Sofa Chaise and Ottoman Set by Broyhill. It’s constructed from powder-coated steel, polyester, and PE wicker, making it durable for the outdoors.
The sofa has a modular design that’s easy to organize and move around based on your available space and design needs.
Java Brown 73-Gallon Wicker Pattern Deck Box
Price: $94.99
If you’re looking for a decorative outdoor storage option, check out the Java Brown 73-Gallon Wicker Pattern Deck Box. Along with being weather- and scratch-resistant, it’s functional and spacious enough to hold nearly whatever you need — up to 36 pounds.
Floral Plastic Outdoor Area Rug
Price: $19.99
Decorating your outdoor space couldn’t be easier with this simple 5′ by 7′ area rug. It comes in many different colors and patterns, such as coral and white burst, and is ideal for the patio or deck. It’s also made from recycled plastic and is durable, stain-resistant and easy to maintain.
Wadeworth 3-Piece Occasional Table Set
Price: $99.97
It’s not all about decorating your outdoor living space. You need some nice, affordable furniture for outside, too.
With the Wadeworth 3-Piece Occasional Table Set, you can fill a den, living room or dining area without breaking the bank. This simple set includes a coffee table and two matching end tables, each of which has a woodgrain surface and matte black legs.
Each piece is also constructed from laminate, metal, and engineered wood, so if you’re looking for something that’s built to last, this could be worth the purchase.
Activity Blue Metal Frame Above-Ground Pool
Price: $119.99
Another newer item from Big Lots — just in time for summer — is this above-ground pool. It’s 10′ by 30″ and is large enough for four to five adults. It’s also around 25% less expensive compared to similar options at other retailers.
Not only will this swimming pool keep you and your family and friends cool this summer, but it’s also puncture-resistant. That means you can enjoy it all season long without having to worry about it leaking or the material tearing.
Extra-Long 25′ Double-Lane Water Slide with Sprinkler
Price: $59.99
If you don’t want the hassle of an above-ground pool, check out this Extra-Long 25′ Double Lane Water Slide with Sprinkler from Big Lots instead. Wide enough for two people to slide side by side, it’s easy to set up and fun to use — essentials for the warmer weather.
Plus, it’s about half the price of what you’d find elsewhere.
Painting Supplies
Price: $2 to $10
“With folks sprucing up their homes for summer, always remember that Big Lots has stellar deals on painting supplies,” said Bakke. “I always felt as though I was getting ripped off buying this stuff at Home Depot and Sherwin Williams, and as it turned out, I was. Anything from rollers to painting tape to brushes, you’ll save a bundle.”
For example, you can pick up a polyester paint brush for just $4.99. Or you can get a three-pack of clear plastic drop cloth for $3.99.
16″ Stars & Stripes Tinsel Wreath
Price: $8.99
Holidays like Independence Day and Memorial Day are still a ways off, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Pick up a Stars & Stripes Tinsel Wreath from Big Lots and add a touch of patriotism to your home for less than $10.
Conley Convertible Sleeper Chair
Price: $349.99 ($279.99 with “EXTRA20”)
With spring comes some great savings on indoor furniture like this Conley Light Gray Convertible Sleeper Chair from Big Lots. Whether you’re in the mood to update your current furniture or you’ve just purchased a home and have rooms to fill, It’ll fit right into your living room, spare bedroom, or den.
This chair is durable, supportive and comfortable. Kick back, relax, and enjoy a movie — or a quick snooze.
White Sherpa Storage Ottoman
Price: $29.97
This White Sherpa Storage Ottoman is both inexpensive and practical. You can put your feet up on it while you relax at home, or you can use it as storage for small items — or both.
Not only does this ottoman have a stylish design, but the soft Sherpa texture makes it comfortable. It’s also about 70% less expensive than comparable items from other retailers.
