Black Friday Deals — Local services in Houston

Currently 8:25 and still no sign of opening the doors for us. Been here since 8:05. The sun is beating down on us harshly and someone keeps coming out to seemingly keep talking to the same three people up front, no update on when they'll be open. I cut on sleep and rushed over here thinking people would already be inside by the time I pulled up, but we're all outside fanning ourselves and dripping sweat. Will update if things get better once they open, but seeing as how restless everyone is I feel like I made the wrong choice with which location to go to today.

Update: I did get a few items, and they were so-so deals, but I honestly would say if they're constantly opening their doors an ENTIRE hour late it's not worth sweating in line that early in the morning. Around 8:30 some employees came out to get food next door, walking past the entire line without saying anything. 8:45 and they started handing out raffle tickets. Again no word of what it was for. Apparently they hold a raffle at 12 but you HAVE to be present to win if your number gets called out. (You have to be at the store. A full four hours). 8:55 and they came out with a bullhorn to tell everyone to form a single file line because they were finally letting everyone in. People started coming in from the parking lot where they were waiting in their cars, which I guess I'll have to do if I visit again because there's no point in waiting in line, you still have to wait inside for them to say it's okay to start going through the bins.

Once inside you realize the items in the bins are full of $4-$8 Amazon/Shein/Temu rejects so you have to be knowledgeable off the bat whether or not something is worth elbowing the crowd and paying $8 for (on Fridays).

Probably the only things that were the best deals I got in my cart were the 24 pack of cat food (MSRP $48) and the 12 pack Similac 360 total care (MSRP $30). The bins with food and hygiene items are closer to the door, where the carts are, and no one seems to care to...

It used to be great and had pretty good items but now it’s just really not worth it or waiting outside in line for. Now they just pick the good stuff and sell it online or in person as retail price. Sometimes they keep it for raffles but you have to wait a long time for the raffle to start. Also like one of the reviews said that sometimes they charge you for every piece of an item even if it’s in a sealed bag together.which is just dumb. I recommend going here once in a while but don’t get your hopes up if you’re looking for good stuff like electronics , games , tvs etc. it is good for party , home , clothing , plushies , hair care , toys since that is the stuff that comes out a lot. It’s not worth getting hurt in the crowd that is fighting over the stuff that comes out. People push and sometimes steal stuff right out of your hand and it’s for stuff that’s not even worth fighting over! Also check your stuff if it’s damaged or not working since they don’t accept returns. Bring something to protect your hands or bandaids and sanitizer since there is sometimes broken items and spills that you might accidentally touch while diving...

Ok, where should I start with this stop... When you arrive, you see a large space with lots of bins filled with random stuff. When I arrived, it was pretty busy with people looking through the bins and filling their baskets with all sorts of stuff. I went on a Friday, which meant everything was $10. Each day, the price is reduced, but you are not guaranteed the products for the reduced price. I believe they get new merchandise on a Friday, and probably every type of Amazon return item you can think of was there! Personally, it was too unorganized for my taste. I don't do well looking through unorganized clutter. If electronics were in one bin, party favors in another, and so on, I could handle that. Although the items were pretty much brand new but returned, due to the way they were stacked in bins (some in boxes and others not), it gave the appearance of unclean. If you love a bargain, don't mind going on a treasure hunt for goodies, and you are in the Houston area, this place is probably for you! If you like organization and categorization, do not, I repeat, DO...
