Review from Nataliya A.
Wheeling, IL
2/26/2012 3 Check-ins Here
I love to buy only specific things here: greeting cards, gift bags, gift boxes, and stuffing paper.. The prices are unbeatable! A decorative huge bag for about $1.5 and sometimes even includes a greeting card! Aaand quiet frankly I reeeaallly love their bag selection, even compared to hallmark
The staff here is waaaay too lazy and seem to always disappear when I need to pay! I've waited for like 10 minutes before before a cashier showed up! Also lately the woman at the register is always talking in Spanish on the phone! Seriously? When I'm paying you I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk on the phone, I don't care if this s happening when I'm shopping but when I'm paying pay attention to me not phone.. Isnt what you're paid for?
They do take cash or credit Buuut it seems like they don't always take credit and when they do take credit you must spend more than $10... Sundays I believe you get about 10%off if you pay with cash. -

I've been a patron of Amazing Savings, now Always Amazing, for many years. It's fun to find inexpensive treasures ranging from gift items to household goods. As a Realtor, I love to buy a couple dozen of a particular item at holiday time, such as Xmas ornaments, then distribute them to my clients throughout the season. The store's prices make that expenditure a no-brainer! The sales staff are friendly, helpful, and efficient. Know that you can pay by cash or credit card, but not by check.
The only bummer is that all sales are final. -

This is the kind of place my Aunt Mollye would call a "shlock house."
Most of the inventory is dollar store junk or things from liquidations.
Good selection of party items-disposable tablecloths, plates, forks, spoons etc. Off brand items like soft soap from Turkey, no-name cold medicines, etc. Today they had a variety of Silkience products.
They used to have some pretty nice things when they were Amazing Savings and they still do have some nice stuff, but not as much. A couple Mikasa vases and bowls, lots of glassware. The toys aren't much, nothing really good...I once bought some McFarland figurines (Shrek) really great, not the crappy Hasbro shrek figures.
Among today's finds...a food network olivewood mixing spoon for $1.39; disposable aluminum loaf pans, a tall ceramic Starbucks mug which you know sold for $10 or more but I got it for $1.79, and from the judaica section (oh my gawd yes, they have a judiaica section!)
passover oven mitts, a ceramic Elijah's cup for $2.99(very nicely painted and funky) a set of alef-bet cookie cutters including final letters, a bag of frogs and a bag of plagues. I passed on the stickers-I just didn't feel right about giving my kid headstone stickers saying R.I.P. EGYPTIAN FIRST BORN. Lest I forget....Purim gift bags for giving out hamantaschen, $1.69! And a lovely knitted kippah for $3.99! They had the big black velvet orthodox ones too, which would look great for halloween if you hot glue some curled hair extensions on them.
So, they definitely don't have as much as their previous incarnation but it's still worth checking it out.
