What Is Going On, 1st Big Lots Is Closing, Now Bargain Hunt Too!!!

What in the world is going on now. First the news that Big Lots is closing and then yesterday I went shopping to Bargain Hunt and apparently, they are closing their stores now. Can anyone give a sound explanation about this. I shopped Bargain Hunt in the days when they didn't necessarily have decluttered/organized stores and you could really find a bargain back then. If you rummaged around a bit you just may have found a true hidden treasure gem/value (like Papyrus brand boxed cards). Then they cleaned up the stores and made them organized and the true treasure hunting for really good deals sort of went to the wayside, they really did. This used to be the sort of store that would purchase buyouts from the likes of a well know home television shopping network. You have to know good quality, name brands, and pricing of items to really know if you were getting a true deal. You know sort of like getting a deal of the century so to speak.

I remember when they would get bins and bins of candy after a holiday season, and it was not expired best by dates and name brands you would know. When that happened, I would be buying quality candy sometimes for 1.00 or even less if they wanted to clear it out and everyone was getting candy from me. I would bring it into work to share with my co-workers. Then there was the time Joy Mangano must have re-designed her huggable hangers and then there were literally bins filled with her hangers. I was very good at finding color coordinated hangers and even the color coordinated hanger handles, and it seemed like everyone was getting huggable hangers as gifts then. That is how I increased the supply I have now through the lovely Bargain Hunt buyout,

Hey, Bargain Hunt hang in there. I recently saw that HSN will no longer be at 1 of its locations. Is it possible if they were to do a downsizing sale off somehow you all could purchase it then go back to having a well-known shopping network buyout sale? Just a thought that came to me.

Oh, I went yesterday to purchase a few items from Kroger's to make Mrs. Carters Pimento Cheese recipe again and discovered the Kroger near me is being remodeled. Do not know what it will look like until I shop there when it opens again. I went to another Kroger, and they gave me the scoop when I asked an employee while searching for pimentos if they knew anything about the remodel. Just that it was scheduled to open back up yesterday, but it was detained. Hum, I wonder if not only my calling corporate office and then follow-up emails may have been done by other customers also requesting this store be updated. I will keep you posted if it looks improved or not. I felt sorry for the employees working there. One day as I was checking out and telling them how I called corporate to request a store remodel they shared with me how when it rains the store roof leaks in several places in the store. That should never be, honestly.  Oh, can you please bring the Duroc brand of pork back into this store location. I always have to go to another Kroger store to purchase it.
