Nice find at Big Lots

I went there after reading about finding Meguiars stuff there. I did pick up a couple Meg brushes. But I also stumbled across a creeper stool like this one Torin Big Red Creeper Seat at Truck Parts Pro Shop and it was only $15. No more lower back cramping when doing the lower panels and wheels! They also had a cool pneumatic one for $25. But the cheap one serves my purpose just fine.

Re: Nice find at Big Lots

I really have to go there one day. The nearest one is almost an hour drive away though. I really want to get some of those Megs brushes. So, I'm sure I'll end up going soon.

Dude, don't bother, honestly.

You'll spend more in gas in a round trip compared to any savings you'll get from a couple brushes or Long Haul crap products.

I have one a few minutes from me and I scored the brushes and a few Turtle Wax items that were cheap.

But you're not missing anything and I would advise against wasting an hour of your life. Its nothing more than KMart's crack addicted third cousin.

Plus by now the brush selection at mine is totally picked over. There are good finds every once in a while. I still like the Long Haul QD and there are ocasionally other meguiars products there.

Re: Nice find at Big Lots

Big Lots can be hit and miss too. Not all stores stock the same items. You can find some good deals if you have one close to you and stop by every few weeks.
