OK, you got me. I am definitely a bargain shopper. I don’t usually go out of my way to go to Ocean State Job Lot but if I’m in the area, I do stop in. I assume that most of their merchandise are closeouts from other places, so you can find interesting things. I like that they often have health food brands at steeply discounted prices. The bathroom is quite clean.

Great store. They have different stuff there all the time as they are an overstock type store. Lots of generic brands as well. Clothes are cheap if you are happy with fashion less clothes for around the house or yard. Always good deals, sales, and cash back gift cards. Go here first before the big chain stores.

Really great department store with everything you can think of for a really great bargain. The experience was decent, I like to take my time when I shop. Sometimes I will return to my basket from another aisle after I’ve parked it if it’s getting full. I had the unfortunate experience of someone whether it was an employee or customer (I am doubting the ladder), remove my basket and nowhere to be found. I looked down every aisle and when I had spoken to an employee he addressed my concern and returned with a basket with what seemed to be mine, but about 90% of the items I chose were gone, and about 5 or 6 new items were thrown in there. I was really disappointed in that. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars

Update: I cant go there any more because I spend too much money. They had a new deal. Buy a specific object then get a card, which returns all your money on next purchase. That means you get a useful high quality item FREE. Its hard to stop buying. Usualy a store like this has low quality items. Not Ocean State. Loaded with brand name, high quality. My wife likes DeChecco pasta the premium of all pasta. There it is, a choice of many of its varieties, at Ocean State offered at a low price. Changing inventory. A wonderful surprise each time I go. Ask an employee where something that you want is located. They just dont point. They walk you there and assist you to find.

Coming in I was greeted by a helpful and friendly employee who pointed me to correct aisle. The store was orderly and I was able to find my school supplies. The prices were fine but the workers were just so kind.

Surprisingly has a great gluten free selection. They have baking mixes, chips, and even gluten free candy on occasion. The store is fairly large and has an assortment of things (school supplies, bird food, pet toys, and even clothes). The staff is friendly and helpful. Fun to go look around because you never know what you could find!

Great store for everyday value. Five stars except their service is missing. Personal knows little of what they sell.

Loved my special prices...that come but once a year. Thank you

Definitely one of my favorite places to shop. They have quite a variety of items including houseware, clothing, cosmetics, and electronics. You never know what new items you will see each time you visit. Plus, they carry lots of organic food, snacks, and drinks! Beware of the long lines and those who sort of jump on ahead of others. It you are not familiar wit the layout, it may be challenging to find certain items. Organization could be improved upon, but overall a really good shopping experience.

Great place to show. I have found name brands, Nine West.

Fast service. Delicious food and the place is very clean and all the staff are very courteous! I highly recommend. Also wheel chair access ❤

Always good prices. Good quality merchandise.

We want to see if they had any canoes no luck. The store was fully stocked though.

Got to know what you want when you go there. Plenty of free parking.

Great store to shopping has almost everything

Slick back hair mexican about looking. Really fluent of chinese speaking. I will be coming back and hoping to running into him again nice kid. Hope he gets a raise and any award Love ocean state job lot

Great place to shop Nathans, lots of high end gourmet food products at discount prices. Shop internet insider specials for best deals.

Alot of stuff to choose from. Cashiers disorganized

Large variety of items well priced

Great deals. Inventory always changing. Friendly!

I always enjoy shopping here its like big lots but with more of a selection

I shop here every now and again. They have a good selection of things, some useful and some are not. Its a good place to find odds and ends that you need for a variety of things. I never had an issue with the staff or a negative experience here. I will go again.

Go here before next door at HD. Sometimes they have the same thing for cheaper!

Wide variety of household products, clothing, food. Check out the crazy deals.

Love Job Lot. The items are always changing (thats what they do) so there is always the chance of finding something new and fun (or yummy!) Its clean and tidy and the people are nice. Just dont expect a high end market. It is what it is! But for what it is, its great :)

Many quality brands at very good prices.

I went there looking for Halloween decorations i was surprised they had none

Store is a complete disaster not enough cashiers on duty..

The wait is always too long at checkout.

Has lots of good bargains, food from other countries find the most unusual items there great towels, quilts spices

Overall, its a great place to find some good deals on name brand and off brand products.

Lots of products from seasonal to food to clothing to household supplies. Great prices, too

Great found what I was looking for

I found a good variety of items on sale, but many of those I was interested in were not visibly priced; and there was little assistance available for finding prices. I left the store without purchasing the items I wanted to purchase.

Store #508I want to recognize a EmployerHer name Julie.. I went looking for a chair on June 18th that was on your flyer. Ive been searching in so many places. We ask Julie if there is any way the chair could be assembled because I needed a higher chair. Julie went above and beyond she assembled the chair and throughout all that ..she help every other customer that ask her a question. It was perfect fit.Thank you for having such a Kind Caring Employee..Outstanding and Professional.

Another fine place to get more for you hard earned money!

Perhaps my favorite store in the Hudson Valley! Lots of interesting food items from Europe. Love the crazy deals! Who needs Walmart when you have Ocean State?!!

Picked up a few things here not for me to stand on line and have to wait to check out

It is my favorite store. Period 🤫

What can be said? Its a JobLot

Where do I even start? Ocean State Job Lot has stolen my heart. Nothing can compare to the rush I get walking into this store. They have everything I could ever dream of and much more. It is hard to imagine where I would be without Job Lot in my life.

Cashiers are pleasant and efficient

You can always find what youre looking for.

Safely browse the aisles and always find something you need. Distance rules in effect. All the cashiers are so friendly.

Love the mix of items

My wife shops there, she likes the variety of merchandise thats in stock.

My wife never should have showed me this place. Come for the closeout prices, keep coming back for the Crazy Deals(TM).

Great friendly service

I buy my wild bird suet there. 6.99 for a case of 8

An amazing!!!! place.Go there. Think of some ridiculously difficult to find thing you want ... And then FIND it there!I LOVE OSJL ...Rich

Love the place. The employees are nice and helpful. Very appreciated in these trying times.Keep up the great work.-B

Fun store

Great deals

Long waits, left once because of it and was about to on my recent and likely last trip to this location. Two female workers yelled at a guy for complaining that there should be more registers open. He was right, as out of the blue after asking for the manager, they were full.I cant tolerate the wait and the arrogance and aggression from the two ladies towards the guy was to much and really disrespectful because he was right. Why at close is everyone hiding and not getting us out of the store except for that annoying announcement?10 months ago I felt this way. Something has changed. Always an great odd selection of things!

Great for a discount store but stock needs to be replenished better.

A wide variety of good deals.

Good prices. Selection is down but same all over.

Clean, organized store. I had a small issue and the store manager rectified it immediately and assured me it would never happen again. Always has what I need. Pretty soon it will be my 1 stop shopping store.....

Poor selection and worse customer service

Bobs redmill products are cheap here

A hit or miss store. Always fun to browse through.

My first trip out in a while I went to the Poughkeepsie location and I have to say I got some awesome deals. Amazing costumer service. I will definitely be a regular at this location!!!

It was clean and not crowded. The employees were helpful.

I found this store to be dirtyAnd short staffI shouldn’t have to weight on line for 15 minutes for a item ..

A great place to find unique as well as useful things at good prices.

Excellent array of items at a good prices

Its alright if you know what you want. Always a looooong line at checkout, thats why I rarely shop there.

New store, nice selection.

I got a lot of things here, but I didn’t notice the prices to be particularly cheaper than dollar stores. A number of things were also not priced like overstock seltzer and I didn’t really have the effort to see if it was a deal or not. The staff seemed to be a bit reserved and I didn’t see anyone on the floor. Nevertheless, this seems like a good place to stop after you go food shopping to pick up hard to find items. In my personal opinion, I’m used to grocery outlet on the West Coast, which is more grocery or oriented and has a much wider selection. But as a first time you’re going to Ocean State Job Lot, I can’t complain and I’ll probably be coming back in the future for knickknacks and what not

Always nice selection and good prices

Great selection of products. Line went quickly at the registers.

Lots of good stuff at bargain prices.

Best place to buy cheap reading glasses

Great prices so many different depts

Great place to get lost and find cool stuff

Lots of stuff you need for good prices.

I liked it until I saw them selling hand sanitizer at outrageous prices...

Do you need something? Anything? Cool, cause job lot probably has some variant of it thats pretty cheap. Maybe not good, but cheap.Good place to go if you need to pick up stuff for your dorm. I picked up a fan from here for $15 freshman year (no air conditioning) and that thing is still going strong.Dont go here if you want to eat healthy, but they have as many snacks as you could eat. $1 candy.

Excellent prices and good selection of international foods as well as portable lighting. A must visit when visiting the area!

Hands down an asowme store. It was such a pleasure to shop in a store where the staff was helpful and made sure I was able to find everything I needed! Thank you! I

I gave three stars because it seems like their inventory doesnt change much, especially in the way of clothes. I do love the oriental rugs they have but I dont like the prices on them...then again, I dont have much knowledge about them so I cant really say that! On the other hand, my mom just loves this place!!

Always a good value

The line for checkout is always so long. I have left twice because of it.

Great store love it.

Too many workers and only a couple of lanes open. They did the best they could but it could have been better

Great of youre looking for pool supplies at a fraction of the costs from pool supply stores.

Whats with the push to collect an email address? They havent needed it before.

Inventory in all the stores needs improvement.

Got what I needed at the store they close too early they close at 7 p.m.

This is a well maintained, large store. Theres always interesting deals in all kinds of departments, including seasonal merchandise. The food section is extensive, with a good selection. The staff is friendly and very helpful

Nice pots for flowers

A little hit or miss but great prices on seasonal products.

Was in the this past Saturday, even though they were crazy busy the store was clean and the staff was professional. The store manager was handling the crowd like a pro and made sure everyone was receiving great customer service

Bellisima What would you expect. Love the pesto from Italy. Que rico. Vive le Bernie

They got a bit of everything at decent prices

Great prices. Courteous and friendly staff.

Its a good place to get bargain prices on walnuts, maple syrup, European chocolate and preserves, Bobs Red Mill, and other non-perishables. Some of the clothing, cleaning supplies, and household goods are decent quality and reasonably priced. Be aware that stock selection fluctuates frequently. Just because you got something on one visit is no guarantee that it will be there on the next one.

Great place to find some really cool things for around the house. Everything from sweatshirts to driveway markers. My only issue with this one is that the customer service is lacking. I have visited multiple times in one day and never even been greeted until I got to the register. Everyone from managers to lot attendants pass by you and they have a look on their face like O I hope this couple does not as my any questions. This company would make allot more money if their staff just put fourth some effort.

My place to shop.....You can find quality for great prices. Yes there is fast fashion, but some finds after search last years.Coffee is great

Ok, so... Ive gotten rugs, a kayak, makeup, winter wear and accessories, toiletries, furniture (the kind that you build), kitchenware, art supplies, school supplies, bedding, toys, pet supplies, calendars, reading glasses, etc. and still not sure if Ive taken advantage of all the things they provide... Lord knows Ive tried! I think I love this store too much. And Im glad they provide local kids a place to work close to home and give them an option other than fast food.
