That's what I'm getting on my next shop if I don't see the shower curtain liner that I want.

Dollar Tree has magnetic shower curtain liners for $1. I generally put in a fresh one every few months.

CQ, they sure do. I got what I paid for though. It disintegrated after a few months.

My local Big Lots is nasty. Dirty and disorganized is the least of their problems. The back half of the store smells like sewage. I never go in there anymore. I wouldn't do that shop for $30, even if the store was clean and smelled good.

My pet peeve about Big Lots (at least my location) is that so many items are not priced. I don’t know how they expect to sell merchandise like that. They used to try to label each product then switched to channel markers but Now there is often nothing.

@kenasch and Sandy Shopper... Hopefully, good mystery shopping reporting will fix those issues.

kenasch, I noticed that also. No prices on the products or the shelves.

When I did these shop over 3 years ago, the one where you carry a bulky item, the fee was ten dollars with a five-dollar reimbursement. The report was easy and the total time in the store was about fifteen minutes. Then the fee started to be lowered and now it is four dollars. I guess the MSC is not aware that the economy is doing well and wages should be rising instead of being lowered.

OT but is it any good??? $5 for TP is pretty good. I can't decide how I feel about the .60 for a 4-pack at WM though... for .60.. it's better than what you get in most restrooms.

Weird. Maybe you have harder water than I do?
At any rate I like to replace them often just for freshness so then I take the old one and have a multitude of uses for it around the house. I use them to place things on when painting, to put in the cargo hole in my van in case of spills or put under animal cages when relocating possums and such.

Yuck. I wouldn't either. There are a couple of gas stations around here that are like that and I require BIG bucks to do them. Luckily our Big Lots are all new and clean.

12 mega rolls, two ply, and it's soft and sturdy.

It was a really cheap liner. It was lightweight and the hem wasn't weighted. It was the least expensive one they had. It truly wasn't for daily use.

They make great drop cloths for painting; we just this weekend used an old one we had for that!

I use them (Shower Curtains) to cover tools that are on the outside table because I am too lazy to take them in the house, Oh wait we made a room out of the garage I have no place to put them inside now. I picked up two of those furniture shops. I forgot about the ROI (return on investment) per shop. It also brings down the average shop payout.
