Thread: Winners / HomeSense - Go now!

Tweet

If you live near a Winners / HomeSense...

The Halloween stuff is out.

There is some awesome stuff; e.g., large, 50-lb gargoyles.

The prices are sick low.

Is this the same thing as HomeGoods?

Good question, colmmoo.

From what I gather, Winners / HomeSense (which I think is only in Canada) was acquired by TJX in 1990. At the time, TJX owned HomeGoods, a US chain.

I don't know if HomeGoods is the same concept as HomeSense - i.e., basically Chinese imports with a relatively low markup - but if it is, then run, don't walk.

I had one of my HomeSense gargoyles stolen last year. The store manager called me a few days ago to say that they had them again this year, so I went and bought a new pair (wanted matching colours).

These babies are only $45 each (after negotiating a 25% discount because they are chipped...heh.) They are fibreglass reinforced plaster and look absolutely amazing for any cemetery-themed haunt.

Good luck.

Most they would give me off was 10% for chipped .. Otherwise i would have gotten the big ones.. i picked up the smaller ones at $39.99 .. Unchipped of course.

hey JD thanks for the heads up , i was laughing when i saw the thread title go now.....I WISH I COULD LOL

wish one did you go in montreal ? i 'll try and take a trip to montreal we have a winners newly opened from this spring in Granby but i never went it is 20 min from here will cal them and see ....i loved the gargoyles you got there last year i wanteda pair...

Hmmm... oh yeah I forgot about them. Last Year I picked up a couple of really cool Celtic Cross tombstones (see below) but I held off on the gargoyles.

Willpower, willpower, need willpow... oh the heck with it! LOL

They have those celtic crosses again this year. Just picked up 2 for $19.99 each.

Where did the 2nd one come from with the large circle.. I didnt see those at Home Sense.

I got both in the Vancouver (BC) area. If I remember correctly there were 3 designs in total and 2 of the 3 came in both the grey and the tan colours (I prefer grey)!

I will have to hit them again this year ... lol!

Hmm only ever saw the 2 styles last year or this year..

I had a hard time finding a second gothic cross this year.. ended up having to get a tan one and paint them to match.. since i am using them as column toppers
