I love Target’s clearance section. If you look at the ends of all of the aisles you can find some really good deals. They have set days that reduce the prices in different areas of the store, so if there’s something that you want, but don’t want to pay full price for it, keep on checking back because it will probably go on sale. I also think that they have really cute clothes and accessories, as well as a good selection of baby things.

Menards has a decent selection of lumber, although they don't carry exotic woods or very high grades of lumber. If you want to get good lumber at a cheap price, be prepared to sort through lots of boards, checking for warpage, knots, etc.
You can drive your vehicle into the lumberyard itself, allowing you to easily load your lumber directly into your vehicle, instead of putting it into a cart and trying to navigate through the store.

This hardware store has someone greet you and ask you if you need any help by the time you are 50 feet ib rhe store, The prices are higher than at the bigger home improvement stores, but is worth it by the service and convenient location in SW Champaign.

When I was growing up it seemed like my parents dragged me to this store every weekend! Now I understand why. What a great place! They have arts and crafts products plus gardening supplies and wonderful trees and plants. They also have greeting cards, candles, and some collectibles. I love going here at Christmas time because they have a room full of Christmas trees decorated in various ways. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and they help you load your car if you get something heavy. There's always something here for everyone!

The recycling rules are a bit high maintenance but they did keep the items separated if it's done to their specifications. Newspaper clean and dry, no labels allowed on cans, no plastic other than milk bottles, aluminium cans and everything washed. I'm alittle disappointed that they don't take other plastic but at least this is a start. I watched them this afternoon after I read the other review on recycling to make sure they didn't dump it into the general trash. Glad to say my efforts to recycle weren't wasted.

Brian did an amazing job and was very generous with his time. The pieces of the bed he assembled weren't even the right size to fit together, but he found a way with the help of a workshop. I was recommended this service through a friend, and I would second that recommendation without reservation. Thanks for everything!

Best Buy in general is an OK place to shop for simple things like DVD's and CD's. However, when one goes in with the intent of purchasing an electronic product, they must be prepared to deal with shady sales tactics and high-pressure sales pitches for all of the extras. And be prepared to do your own investigating! I went into this particular Best Buy to purchase a desktop computer. I did not need a monitor, keyboard or mouse, I just needed the desktop PC unit itself. I found a great deal on a CPU that had great specs. I tracked down a sales rep who wasn't actively attempting to help anyone, despite the hoards of people milling around and pointed to him which unit I wanted. He gave me the spiel about accessories to go with – monitor, keyboard, etc., as well as some software special that was currently being promoted. I politely declined everything, emphasizing that I just want the CPU. He went off to look for it and returned a few minutes later – bummer, they're all out of stock! I was really interested in that model only, so I thanked him and began walking toward another section of the store when I saw 6 boxes of the CPU model I had my eye on sitting right there on the shelf at the end of the aisle. I went back to confront him about it and he faked a puzzled look and said "oh hehe. The computer said we were out of stock." Oh, sounds to me like someone wasn't going to make much commission off of me, so he didn't want to sell me the product. I went across the street to a competitor and purchased the same CPU for $30 extra, but that $30 was worth it for the service

I enjoy going to this gas station because of the cleaniness and fast service they provide. They have many varieties of snacks and fresh coffees. It is also close to the campus area.
