It was ideal for me when I had my first apartment. I needed sheets, towels, kitchen items, etc. whether I could afford them or not. Where I lived at the time, both Goodwill and Salvation Army were way overpriced, and I could get better deals on brand new items at Value City. I also desperately needed work clothes since my student clothes were inappropriate for the office. I got everything for 75% less than I would have had to pay at the mall. I don't need anywhere near as much now as I did then, but it's still a great place to check out when items wear out. The prices were similar, but a lot of the items at my local store were a higher quality than I could find at Big Lots. I wish there were one around here!
"...for the happy heart, life is a continual feast. Better to have little, with fear for the Lord, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil." Proverbs 15:15b-16 NLT
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. --Martin Luther King, Jr.
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.--Winston Churchill
