First time in a year and half,looking for a new tablecloth, found one, but nothing else interested me.

I always liked looking around in Homegoods. Seldom bought anything and now there isn't one close to where I live, unfortunately.

I went to HomeGoods this morning. They are just putting out their halloween and fall decor. Even though I need another pumpkin like I need another hole in my head, I bought a very pretty cream colored one one. I have the hardest time resisting fall decor.

I have a Homegoods store about 10 minutes away and I go there often. It's my favorite place to browse. However, I have the most luck when I don't go there looking for a specific thing unless it's something they always have a good stock of.

I have been looking for a new comforter forever both in stores and online for over a year and have never seen something I like more than my current one so I stopped actively looking. I was at HG last week looking for my favorite dog poop bags which they always have and found the perfect comforter. That's why I always browse the whole store even when I'm just going for one thing, you never know what you're going to find. I've also learned that if I see something I'm interested in I'd better buy it then because if I go back a couple of days later it's almost always gone!

I have purchased many otems from Home Goods . I have 2 in my immediate area .

I do find you have to look often and if you see a big item such as furniture , then buy it as it will be gone by the next day .

I went to HomeGoods a few days ago. Wow, such a disappointment. They have gotten NOTHING new in. All the same things on all of the same shelves. In fact, it looks like leftover styles from 20 years ago. Come on HomeGoods!!

I enjoy looking around Home Goods, they have lovely decorations.

@lkat I have gone back to buy something that afternoon and it was gone. Must buy when you see it, it can always be returned.

You never know what you'll find at Home Goods, TJMaxx, or Marshall's ( all in the same family) that you can't live without - LOL. I've gotten a number of good things at these stores; kitchen items, Michel Products liquid soaps, name brand hairspray, a few pieces of clothing, seasona! decor, Rae Dunn mugs & decor, nice purses (American Leather Co. and Patricia Nash). Right now, I'm shopping for, and collecting, decor items for our daughter's very non-traditional wedding coming up this fall. DH and I felt like we struck gold yesterday at TJMaxx. I found my dressy evening bag too! It's also been the case where at times I've left empty handed too. It's always a gamble when you walk in.

It's the truth, though - if you see something that strikes an interest in you, grab it while you can. You can always return it if you change yiur mind.

I love looking around home stores. I rarely buy anything.

Around 3 years ago, we were looking for a nightstand for my guest bedroom. The way the bed is situated, we just needed ONE. Went to a few stores in the mall near us and found nothing at all. I had some specific criteria, within a pretty flexible range, but saw nothing. I didn't want a mirrored top, or anything too fancy based on the room.

After our search, we were just a few stores away from Marshall's, so I suggested we go there. They have a small furniture area. I figured it was a real long shot but why not check? They had 1 perfect nightstand that was so cool... a beautiful natural wood and metal... clean lines, eclectic and very cool. I noticed on the back it had a small scratch so I called over the manager and she reduced it by $20. PERFECT. To this day when I go into the room I look at the piece and smile.

YOU NEVER KNOW what you'll find.

I love Homegoods but just to kill time.

On my last trip I wanted a table runner, no luck, poor selection.

I'm also near an At Home store, it's awesome.

For something for my home I have better results waiting for a sale at Belk or Macy's, usually don't have to wait long.

@software We have access to an At Home as well. That place is really hit or miss for me. I guess all of these stores are really. I got a really cute quilt & shams set there, for the guest room, a couple years ago. My sister got some cute cushions for her back porch furniture at the same time. Yesterday everything I was looking for turned out to be junk or was more expensive than Amazon and the other stores I named. I do like walking around and browsing though, and would still return in the future.

I never use to like going there but I do now. I find it's hit or miss and if you see something you like get it, it might not be there next time you go.

I just went in there on Tuesday. I haven't been there since December, which surprises me since I love that store.

Anyway, they had very few fall/Halloween items. They still had a lot of summer, gardening, and 4th of July items out. I'm going to go back in about two weeks. I don't need anything for fall or Halloween, but I can't help myself when something catches my eye.
