Several of you have mentioned Bargains and Buyouts on Facebook and encouraged me to go see what it's all about. So recently, I had a free afternoon to go and check it out. This was the Cincinnati location. Here is the website for more information on the store.
“We are a liquidation company, with the vast majority of our product is un-used, brand new overstock product that our suppliers were willing to let go of for extremely low rates, which thereby allows us to pass on those great savings to you! “
Today, I was looking for a chair for Olivia's room to complete her reading nook.
My first impression of the store was , wow! It's large and there is stuff everywhere. It has a warehouse feel, but honestly things were organized pretty well into sections. Small living areas to walk through and then a separate area for chairs, rugs, tables etc.
They even had outdoor furniture, laptops, household appliances and shoes.
Here are some of the items I liked.
It's one of those places which is hit or miss, so you never know what you might find.
And then I saw it….. The perfect chair for her room.
I was able to negotiate the chair down. Originally it was $300, they were selling it for $169 and I negotiated $150. I was pretty happy with that. It was the right color and comfort level we were looking for.
If you visit, keep in mind that they want you to negotiate with a salesperson before you get to the counter. The counter is simply to pay for your purchase. Also, make sure you can get it home. They will help you get it in your vehicle, but be prepared to wait for that service. I'm not sure if they offer any kind of delivery service.
Here is my purchase nestled perfectly into Olivia's new room.
The perfect spot for reading!
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.
If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
