Late summer can be one of the best times of the year to go shopping. There’s the plethora of end-of-summer sales – though the thermostat might not get the message until late September – and the beginning of back-to-school sales and overall fall fun. If you hit a big-box retailer like Big Lots, you can truly take advantage of both kinds of sales, loading up on all manner of goodies to get you through the winter months, and well beyond. 

GOBankingRates took a look at some of the coolest items with the hottest prices at Big Lots. Whether you’re looking for clothes you can wear to the beach until Labor Day or for patio furniture to sit and sip some warm tea or carve pumpkins on a crisp fall day, you can find it at Big Lots. 

San Marino Wood Look Patio Dining Table

From pre-Labor Day barbecues to pumpkin painting contests with friends and family, this durable and stylish table can carry you from the summer swelter into fall, and even into hot chocolate season. This jewel of your patio is available for only $249.99 — roughly half off from the $499.99 where you can find it elsewhere — and can be purchased for four interest-free payments of $62.50. The future memories you make around this table? They’re priceless. 

10′ x 30″ Blue QuickSet Inflatable Ring Above-Ground Pool

There’s a reason August is called the dog days of summer, and it’s not because it’s a sweet and cuddly time of the year. Technically, it’s because Sirius, aka the Dog Star, is emerging — but really, it feels like it could be caused by a heat that makes you want to do nothing but lay down and pant like your four-legged best friend. What better time than late summer to invest in an above-ground pool? 

Priced at just $59.99, this inflatable pool gives you and your family, including Fido, the chance to cool down during the worst heat of the summer, without scorching your budget. 

35″ Pembroke Stone Look Gas Fire Pit

A good fire pit can carry you from summer cookout season to fall bonfires, so why not invest in one with a classic stone look? At $399.99, this fire pit may seem steep in price, but it’s still 35% less expensive at Big Lots than anywhere else, per the Big Lots website. 

Kiddie Wood Potting Bench & Table

Helping your little ones develop their green thumbs while they’re still seedlings themselves is a great way to have fun and teach them valuable life skills. For just $59.99, you can use this potting bench to help your kiddos pot their own indoor and outdoor plants all year ’round. 

11.12′ x 13′ Hexagonal Pop-Up Sun Shelter

Whether you’re looking for protection from those pesky mosquitoes, or hoping for a place to cozy up once the weather gets colder, this pop-up sun shelter offers you both options. For only $149.99, you’ll get more than your money’s worth of years’ ’round use with this shelter, which is perfect for any backyard or even pop-up event.
