Dear Big Lots,
You have disappointed me. I have long been impressed by your prices, and lately you’ve become my secret back-up place to find trendy things on the cheap. I’ve come to you for fun yellow bowls and flowery candleholders, for cute white vases and $19 area rugs.
But yesterday was a different story. Yesterday I saw this:
You threw me for a loop, Big Lots. One look at this adorable modern ottoman and I was hooked. I was so excited, picturing this at the foot of our bed in our master bedroom, that I even texted a picture to Stephen and said “I’m in love!”
Then I saw the price tag. $199. One hundred and 99 dollars?! I was expecting $50 or $80. You know, like the prices on everything else in your store. Heck, you sell cute chairs for $99, but an ottoman goes for twice that much?
What’s the deal, Big Lots? You built me up with your low, low prices and then you let me down. My ottoman-loving heart is officially broken.
Sincerely,
Girl on a Budget
Bummer! You’ll have to keep going back to see if it gets marked down. It is a nice ottoman.

Good advice, Desiree. Maybe everybody will think that’s too much to pay and they’ll be forced to practically give it away! Then I’d be able to afford it
SUCH a cute ottoman! Bummer about the price, though. I keep hearing about what great stuff Big Lots has but I haven’t had a chance to swing by yet. Clearly I need to!

I completely agree!! I fell in love with this ottoman but also thought the price was too high! I was trying to at least find the fabric…any chance you examined the tag and it said anything about the fabric?
Oh Jeni, I wish I had! I have no idea who makes the fabric but best of luck on finding it. Let me know if you do. Maybe we need to team up on Big Lots and get them to sell cheaper ottomans!!
Have you looked up how to make your own ottoman? May I post this link: upholster.com/howto/ottoman.html ? I even found a storage ottoman tute…
Maybe this helps you to get a cheaper one with “your” fabric.
