BIG's warehouse is huge and you never know what you might find. Dress warmly and enjoy the hunt. I found a great bathroom vanity and sink for under $100. There are lots of standard white tiles that you'd pay a lot more for even from Home Depot, and really good doors. Like the solid wood kind. It isn't that easy to get to via public transportation, but it can be done. They'll hold purchases for 2 weeks (at least) so you can get a zipcar or man with van. And best of all - it supports a great cause, the SolarOne environmental group in NYC.
