Big Lots: Dr. Gollum and I Go Shopping

Are you ready for another Big Lots adventure?

Let's grab a shopping cart.

When Dr. Gollum saw the baskets, I thought he was going to run out of the store. I have tortured that poor man with my basket frenzy...and yes, I did buy one (but I let Dr. G pick the color).

He selected blue -- it was really more of a shallow tray than a storage basket...but check out the price. Wow!

This darling candle set was $5.

Swirly stainless, $15

A whole set of International stainless, $25

Knives, $20

This cupcake stand was adorable...$10

Bandwith would have liked this--he sees cooling racks on Food Network and wonders why, in our kitchen, I cool stuff in the pan. :-) $7

This set looks very British and reminds me of the Emma Bridgewater pottery. $10

I am not into thread counts, but Dr. Gollum says 300 is good. He put them into our cart--a first for him! King size sheet set, $25. (And I'd looked at a king set, unknown count, at K-Mart that were $40.00.)O, Big Lots, Dr. Gollum wants to be your spokesperson. :-

Bandwith needed sheets, too. Queen set, $20.

Assorted stuff...couldn't find a price.

I rounded a corner and saw white dishes. 32-piece set, $40. Dr. Gollum had to take my pulse.

Plastic glasses, $3 each.

The floor lamps were on sale...I have no idea how much or how little; but I do know they retailed for almost $300 (I checked the "original" price tag. I couldn't find the tag for Big Lots.). Dr. Gollum steered me away from the lamps (but my goodness, they're so handsome), into the food aisle.

Assorted salad dressing , $2 bottle

Spices and herbs for Foodie Fridays ...

And olive oil, $3 to $5.

I came home with the blue basket tray, sheets, four plastic glasses,


olive oil, herbs, votive candles (a huge box, complete with glass holders, $5) and a cookie sheet set.
