When you think of green shopping and/or companies you think
of places like Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Seventh Generation. Big Lots isn't usually thought of. If they have green/sustainable practices they don't
talk about it, or at least not that I'm aware of (feel free to correct me).
Generally when you think of Big Lots you think of bad customer service, some
great cheap stuff and some hilarious off brands:
Who would have thought?
But on a whim we checked it out the other day and found
quite a few good deals on a bunch of green products. We found Kashi cereals and
snack bars real cheap (Kashi is labeled as "natural" but they are not organic, they are however centered
around protein and fiber which we eat for health reasons). Also we picked up
some Tom's Mouthwash for about half of what we would normally pay for it. At
the time we were there, they were also selling Martha Stewart's green brand of
cleaning supplies, Martha Stewart Clean.
Now Big Lots buys overstock and sells it cheap so there is
always going to be different products at any given time. If you happen to live
by one stop in every so often and see if you can find any green treasures on
the cheap.
