In Short
Since 1985, this Ohio-based retailer has wowed cost-conscious customers with an ever-changing batch of brand-name products. All merchandise is closeout--outdated packaging, canceled orders or discontinued products--and priced to sell at up to 70 percent less than conventional retailers. Peruse the wide aisles of this mega-store for household items, such as frozen foods, cleaning supplies and toys. Some locations also offer furniture, including entertainment centers, desk sets and mattresses.
