I was really surprised at how expensive everything was there. I went looking for a chair for outside and everything they had was broken and/or wobbly and the lowest price I found for a single chair was $60 and it was broken. That being said, the place is huge and there is tons of stuff. I didn't look at much else while there.

Men's pants embarrassing. Looks like a liberal's dream. Must wear a mask. They get the stuff for free and then charge for it. Why not go total liberal and let people walk out with whatever they want? Awful.

Used to be very affordable and a go to place. Seems like their prices have doubled. I'm looking at a half burnt candle for $4 and it would be $5 at a store or less. Used to pick up nice couches here for $50 all the time. They're all $150 now.
