7 Big Lots Items the Middle Class Needs To Buy During ‘All Stores Closing’ Sale

What’s going on with Big Lots? While it was reported in January that the discount retailer plans to keep between 200 and 400 stores open once sold to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, their website still has an “all stores closing” banner displayed on its main page. According to this banner, shoppers can save money — up to 10% to 40% off — when they shop in-store.

That’s a win-win for keeping Big Lots doors open and middle class wallets slightly fuller! GOBankingRates rounded up seven of the best buys to make at Big Lots while this sale is still on: just remember these discounts are in-store only.

Stock up on Tide liquid laundry detergent for 24% off competitor prices when you purchase it in-store.
