I’m so sad. Yes, some stuff was broken and some stuff way over priced, but I could get so many nice toys for children. I moved from Ms and I finally found a store in Tennessee, and now I find out they are closing right around Christmas. My child has enjoyed so many toys from Dirt Cheap that I would have never found for their prices anywhere else. The only place I’ve found close is Bargain Hunt and they are three times as expensive as Dirt Cheap without near as many choices. So sad

Florida costumer:

Well, not only their merchandise was overpriced and damaged, but also their store was so dirty, with filthy floors and bathrooms in the floral condition, not to mention how unorganized the merchandise was.

Other reasons as to why I was disappointed were the staff customer service skills; there were none. Managers with poor attitude, store clerks, and cashiers being rude as apparently they were hiring the top of the bottle to run their store.

Their prices were not cheap for the majority of stuff…. it was overpriced junk. 3 legged tables, cabinet missing a door, clearly used and returned stuff, half-consumed stuff, toiletries half used, broken stuff thats obviously NOT repairable, etc. Yet the price was as if it was almost pristine condition. Example: a lamp I found was priced ~49.99 but was actually more like ~32$. It was cracked clearly from top to bottom, the bulb socket was bent, AND thumb screw was gone. Brand new price was ~35$.
Their pricing was too confusing and misleading (why jack it up and inflate it just to put a code that you’d have to find the right price sheet hanging somewhere and decipher the “actual” price?). Some stuff was a good purchase (especially at the building supplies side) but, again, who can use a sink that’s broken in 5 pieces with one big chunk missing? Who can use a coffee maker missing the carafe, basket, and water tank (especially with it only 7$ cheaper than a complete brand new one).
I did like the “thrill of the hunt” but won’t miss the disorganized cluster F that was Dirt Cheap. Maybe they would’ve been more successful if they priced better and more direct??

Well I enjoyed going in on the home building side. This is where I found my light fixtures brand new in the boxes for my kitchen. I found my ceramic tiles for my remodeling of my bathroom brand new also. I hate to see them go also.

I love Dirt Cheap and will miss it. Yep, it’s a mess some days, but it’s the thrill of the hunt! Just found 2 nice big patio umbrellas for 10.00 each. Opened them up in the store and they were perfect. Ours has a lot of Target items half price at least. These type of stores are not for everyone, But, I for one will miss it!

I agree that much of their stuff is junk and overpriced, but I have found some treasures. I bought a toilet for about $60 when I desperately needed it for the house I had just bought on a short sale. I found some beautiful click-and-lock engineered hard-wood flooring for <$1.00/sq.ft. and bought enough to do my living room, dining room and hallway. I only wish I had bought the entire lot. I have picked up various bathroom fixtures at a great price, a gas grill with a side burner for $20.00. All of this was from the building supply side. Since I read this article, I will be going tomorrow to see what I can find.

The stores were horribly disorganized. Crap was always just thrown about like it was a Goodwill. I’ve found pots with food in them on the shelves. I’d only go because every once in a while you’d find something worthwhile and cheap, but normally you’d just be buying stuff for a very slight sale (at best) that couldn’t be returned. The rest of the items in the store were just broken and disgusting. Who wants a piece of luggage with only three wheels? Who can use a toaster oven missing the door or looking like it was hit by a car?

Where am I going to be able to buy two legged tables, 1 worn shoe, expired and opened supplements and half eaten food while waiting at checkout for 45 minutes now?

I walked through there the other day looking for something basic, and noticed some weed whackers that were caked with dirt and dried grass. Obviously used, and they didn’t even clean them up. Didn’t find what I was looking for and ended up going to Lowe’s.

KK— BINGO!!! It was a nightmare to find something in there sometimes due to being just pit wherever there was an empty hole. LOL
