Jimmy Johns in Tyler Texas

Keep an eye out for this new lunch time hot spot that will be competing against the likes of Quiznos, Subway, Jersey Mikes, and I think that’s just about it.

Oh ya, Brookshires, Wal-Mart, and Albertsons sale pre-made disgusting sub sandwiches. Why buy pre-made when you can get fresh to order sub sandwiches at Jimmy Johns in Tyler Texas.

A Little Behind

August 2nd, 2010

Anyone with small children will tell you that one of the most frustrating things is how fast little kids grow. It seems like you buy a pair of pants and your kids wear them once and by the time they got through the laundry cycle and out of the dryer they are to small for your kids. By the time your kids are three years old, you have a giant pile of clothes, instead of just throwing them out, why not make a few buck off of them?

A Little Behind is a resale store in Tyler. Most clothing is used or hand made. The idea or buying used clothing may not be appealing to everyone, but here the used clothes are in great condition and extremely organized. I was able to buy two pairs of jeans and a beautiful summer dress for a lower price that I usually spend on one pair of pants.

They had a small selection of maternity clothes, but that is not their main selling point. Most of the products in the store are toys, furniture, and clothing for small children. They have great sales such as half off a huge selection of clothing and they have had sales that were half off cribs and other furniture.

The walls are lined with hand made clothing and hair products for little girls. I love the hair bows that you can find there. There is a large selection of bright colored ribbons, and giant clothe flowers. One of the most expensive things you can find in the store is the “pillow case dresses”. All of the pillow case dresses are hand made and each has its own unique look and style.

               When you are either shopping or selling, you want to shop or work with honest and polite people. When I walked into the store for the first time I was greeted by the owner of the store who was working the counter. She was extremely helpful and gave her honest opinion on the products that she was selling, and even pointed out glitches in a table and chairs a lady was interested. I find it very comforting to know that I am getting great products for little money.

                 I hate going into a resale store when there are clothes unorganized and mixed up, and I have to dig through clothing to find a pair of jeans without a hole in the knee, or I have to think about how to get the spit up stain off an outfit. I did not have to worry about that here. All the clothes were in style and clean. It was easy to find the size of clothes that I needed because everything was extremely organized.

               When shopping at A Little Behind you are sure to get great clothes at unbelievable prices, and your shopping experience will not be stressful or overwhelming. A Little Behind is my favored resale store to buy clothes for my little kids.

Rega of Paris

January 29th, 2010

Rega of Paris

6722 S Broadway
Tyler TX
75703
903 561 1705
www.regaofparis.com

Rega of Paris is a furniture consignment store in South Tyler (in the shopping area opposite Target and behind Don’s)
I first visited there when we moved here and we needed basic furniture to fill our house but I still go there occasionally now as it is such a great place to shop and you can find all sorts of nice quality and unique items for the home there.

Rega is a more upscale consignment store and has antiques as well as good quality furniture. They also consign smaller items like crockery, art work and bits and pieces for the home.

The owners will manage estate sales for you and will pick up (and deliver) items you buy or consign for a small fee. Sellers get just 50% of the selling price but as Rega is a popular shop the chance that your item will hang around unsold for long is pretty unlikely – so you will get your money fast.

The inventory changes regularly at Rega as there seems to be a fast turnover of goods. They even have a website where you can view the new arrivals and this is updated fairly frequently.

I am not usually a fan of second hand furniture stores (it fills me with visions of old folk and the smell of cat pee!) but Rega is very different. They only take the nicest pieces of furniture in good clean condition. Having had a few bad experiences with cheap furniture I now think it is better to buy something of better quality and style second hand than risk having something that falls apart after a year or so.

Rega of Paris is open Tuesday thru Saturday 10am – 5.30pm

Chapman’s Auction

January 29th, 2010

Chapman’s Auction is located at 14986 Hwy 64West, Tyler, Texas 75704. They have an auction on Thursday and Saturday evening. They begin selling at 7 p.m. and are usually finished before 10 p.m.

Anyone can come to buy in the auction, you just have to get a bidding number to bid on each sale. There are junk dealers who bid, but you can still get things cheap, because they are looking for a bargain to resale in their shop.

They have household items, appliances, furniture, toys and antiques. The best buys occur early when they line up the bargain boxes and auction the whole box. You can find some real treasures for a cheap price.

The auction building can hold approximately 300 people if it was full, but most of the time they have a crowd of 150. They have a snack restaurant, where you can purchase food to eat. The auction sets up long rows of tables and chairs, you can eat and bid in comfort.

This is a fun experience and comfortable setting, plus you can find some great bargains if you are a good bidder. This is a good place to take items to sell and get something for them. You can take them a day or so before the date of the auction. You don’t have to be present for the sale, but you can go pickup your money after the auction has closed. They charge a small percentage for selling your items, but you have a large audience to have an opportunity to sell them.

Tyler Big Lots

January 12th, 2010

We have two locations in Tyler TX for Big Lots, one is off of Beckham and the other towards the mall. I love going to Big Lots because they have everything you could possibly need or want and the prices for the most part are reasonable, especially if you are looking for movies. Big Lots is the place because it’s the cheapest I have ever seen anywhere. They have movies ranging anywhere from $3 to $10 dollars. The new releases are the ones that cost a little more or if you find a series, that usually costs a little more. I once bought the series, Life Goes On, and I paid $4 dollars for it. That is just an example of the things that you can find there.

I also found little Christmas ornaments for a little tree that I have. They have food, clothes, personal needs, bedding, some furniture and many more things. I could not even start to list everything at Big Lots even if I wanted to because they have so many categories of things to buy there. The service for the most part is good. It is a place where if you are looking for a store where you could find some inexpensive gifts for someone, then I would suggest going to Big Lots. It is always a convenient thing to have a Big Lots around. Big Lots is usually surrounding other stores.

The store off of Beckham is next to the General Dollar Store and the Shoe Warehouse. The other one that is close to the mall on the South side is located by Michael’s, Pet Land, Dollar Store, and a Chinese Restaurant. You could definitely take a whole day to experience the bargains available at Big Lots. You would have your shopping, entertaining and food done all in one place.
