Every current Big Lots Weekly Ad usually contains discounts, BOGO, and other offers on packaged food and drinks, furniture and housewares, toys and clothing, and even on small electronic items. You have to act fast on taking advantage of these offers since Big Lots is known for the fast turnover on many of its items although most items are continually restocked.
While the weekly ads are the best sources for instant savings on your purchases, you can also find several other ways to save money. Just keep in mind that your diligence in applying these methods is a must for, after all, the savings will not exactly be handed on a silver platter.
Join the Buzz Club
This is the equivalent of a rewards program at Big Lots. You can enroll for free in the club and receive email alerts about special discounts for members (i.e., 20% in many cases) and other special deals. For example, you can save as much as 20% on your entire purchase at special member’s only events.
Check the Clearance Aisle
Big Lots prices are among the most affordable in the industry but these become even lower on the clearance aisle. 
You will be remiss in not snapping up the merchandise in the aisle as these are truly bargain basement prices.
If you find a grocery cart full of items with upcoming expiration dates at the store’s front door area, you should look into it, too. You may just find grocery staples that sell at such low, low prices it would be a sin not to buy them. Your haul may include Oreo box for as low as 25 cents/box.
Most important, you should visit Big Lots on a regular basis, such as weekly. Keep in mind that the deals will differ from week to week so the weekly ads will also feature different items.
