The Treasure Barn — Local services in Ligonier

I saw pictures of the inventory from this place on Facebook and was excited to go. I live an hour away and had to bring my 2-year-old and 7-month-old with me. Sometimes that's difficult and I called ahead to ask if they had shopping buggies. The woman on the phone was polite and said that they did.

I arrived and initially was thrown off by the Amish barn, but we ventured inside. The cart was big enough for my baby's car seat and the front seat had a buckle to help keep my 2-year-old in it. (Not all carts are big enough for this and that helps me shop at places like this if they are set up for that). I have been unhappy getting the "leftovers" from my local bin places and bigger items being out of stock when I get there. So I took a chance and drove an hour from Fort Wayne to get here.

The setup was nice with all things organized. When you break down the math on the pricing, they offer generally 50% off items. I came here looking for specific holiday gifts that were bigger that I felt I could get a better deal on. I did save 50% off a Little Tikes Slide and Explore, a nice trash bin with a lid, a storage organizer in a box, and some stocking stuffers. I could not manage the larger items myself, and a young lady from the back was willing to help me. Both girls working the store today helped me with my items and were very helpful while I managed my children. That means a lot at a store.

I did not have my husband today, so did not pick up larger items or furniture, but I definitely plan to come back this Saturday with my husband in tow! The baked goods near the register were delightful and I picked out a large cinnamon roll with icing, holiday cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. My son and I ate many cookies on the way home, but I took pictures of what was left. I don't know who made these....but I want a cooking lesson from them! Perfect amount of buttery moistness.

On top of that, my son enjoyed the small water tank with the fish (of course we practiced seeing with our eyes and not our hands), he loved seeing the horses in the pasture, and the girl at the counter gave him a sucker before we left! This is important because it gives my son something to look forward to for being good in the store.

Overall, this is a wonderful change from the bins for the same merchandise. You just have to decide which items are worth it to you. They also had baby formula that I didn't have the chance to look at but certainly will this weekend. We had a wonderful adventure here...

Buyer beware, these prices are too high!

The prices are more than the going to a retail store and buying something with a warrantee.

This place is amazing! Great deals on just about everything you can think of! The staff is kind and busy fixing organizing stocking the shelves. I could have walked the aisles for hours and found even more! Scored toddler pull ups for an amazing price among many other finds. Can't...
