Before You Shop At HomeGoods Watch This...

[@JordanHunter333]

Oh my gawd! Arvin, you are perfection. Not only do you deliver wonderful content in a unique, fun way, but it is sheer joy watching someone do what they were born to do. Thank you for being totally, completely you, being SO good, and sharing it all with us. :)

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Thank you “You Tube recommendations” for dropping this cool guru in my “hey girl have a look at this” box 😅 I worked at HomeGoods for 3 years as a department coordinator. Although I’m retired now, it’s still my favorite store to visit. You hit the nail on the head on many of these tips. Buy that treasure when you see it, you can always return it if you change your mind, but if you hesitate, take a chance and say I’ll go back for it, trust me, it’s going to be gone - snatched up by some other saavy shopper!! I have that exact piece of furniture you highlighted at the beginning of this video. The tv console. Love it !! 🥰

[@xolaurag4327]

When he said “nobody asked but” got me hooked to keep watching lol

Is it weard that I love your body language? I smile every time you do those things you do with your hands. The funny thing is, that would usually bug me, but not when you do it, smooooa 😘

[@commynash5052]

You definitely hit all the high points. Being an avid Homegoods, Marshalls and TJMaxx shopper, I wholeheartedly agree with you! Please, continue serving us these wonderful videos!

I don’t even know where to start... First of all the throw pillows, “chop chop” Thank you for sharing and thank you for not having a dollar store dyi.. don’t get me wrong, I love a bargain, but everything for a dollar will catch up on you. I love everything about you and m pissed I just found you now. You have impeccable taste and eye for design 😍👏👏👏

[@anaotero8817]

"If you like something, just git it" SOOOOO true, It happened to me many times. No doubts things go out of the door faster than you can imagine!!!

You’re sooo right! Especially the “just get it”! I’ve wronged myself so many times!

[@deanne127]

ok, i didn't know i needed you until you were a part of my liiiiife. well spoken, well researched, genuine, and fun! ARVIN THE ICON!!

[@ArvinOlano]

Wow OMG ily

[@bonstermonster5260]

OMG love your suggesting creating a pinterest board first! I am moving to a new house with a full laundry room with a sink that is so blah! I created a board and have been picking up pieces. Found a laundry sign that stands for the tile counter in distressed black and some awesome knobs for the cabinets that look fabulous and look like sea urchins. Did not buy a floor pillow in gorgeous tropical colors and went back the next day to buy it and it was gone. Our 7 grandkids would have loved it. That was a great suggestion. If you see it, buy it because it will be gone!

[@MadeUpLikeADoll]

Great tips! I love the cheering clip added to the videos. Zip codes is so relevant when it comes to the higher end brands and the quality that you'll find in more posh neighborhoods You're very much correct on that

[@mobellescorner9702]

Omg that last tip! Happens to me all the time because I'm so indecisive. I had to learn the hard way, if I like it at Home Goods, I'd better just get it... Love your style!

[@TheSimmpleTruth]

The last tip was the best. That happened to me and I also learned it the hard way. Every piece there is unique and it won’t be back. So get it when you see it or you won’t see it again, most likely. That is also what I like the most of Homegoods, you never find the same thing twice. So, everything is unique.

[@Chegles1]

I love watching Arvin's video's not only for the great tips but to see what he's wearing, Arvin you are a class act!

[@lynnslosson5937]

Thanks for the tips. My daughter was so excited when Home Goods finally reopened! We have one here in town, and one (higher end) about 20 minutes away. We have found some wonderful things at both.

[@ArvinOlano]

Awesome I love to hear it

[@zantedeschias]

Don't forget to check those fiber contents on your rug! Great tips Arvin! I have never even been to a home goods before. I'm so inspired to get my shop on now.

[@terri3781]

I worked for TJX Company. I never shop Ross. The quality isn't as good. Their designer pieces are from Outlets and Marshalls TJMAXX & Homegoods pieces are from the Department stores. There is a HUGE difference. Designers manufacture pieces that are strictly for Outlet Malls and HSN. A big difference in quality.

[@hashbrowns4all]

Terri Johnson I believe you. We have a TJX and Ross only about a couple blocks from each other and although I love me some Ross, I always end up at the TJX coz it seems to carry so much better stuff.

[@madge7900]

You are so right when you say if you see something but it. Happens to me so many time. Great tips

[@joseeleblanc5507]

You are so right and thank you for these advices. Unfortunately here in Canada 🇨🇦 our Homegoods are so empty you’re lucky in the US 🇺🇸 even though you find your stores empty they’re full compare to us. I hope eventually our stores will be filled with good things because you always snitch great finds.

[@lincaasi5468]

[@janestiffer5396]

You are right on point with ALL your tips. Also, don’t be shy about asking for an additional discounts if an item is a bit banged up. Those stores are constantly moving merchandise and many times items get soiled or banged up in the process! 👌

[@ArvinOlano]

Actually you are so right I guess so shy when it comes to discounts at a store LOL but I will keep that in mind

[@anyat686]

Omg. One of your videos that I hadn’t actually seen. ! I couldn’t believe it !

[@caramel0727]

You’re very right, grab what you like right away, if not, it will be gone! I’ve experienced that recently and I regretted only buying one instead of two. I go to two Home Goods, the in W. Sahara and Rainbow. I don’t go for designer items. I prefer humble, natural or Boho and the store always have what I need. Hey! Thanks for the tips!

[@alyssalynne5961]

Fun fact: I work at a winners/home sense which is the Canadian version of TJMAXX and Home-goods, so im not entirely sure if it’s the exact same.... but, we get shipments every single day during weekdays that are completely randomized and we have to put out everything we get out that day, if possible, in the same day. The only reason product would ever be put onto the floor during weekends is if it’s back stalked!! You’re so right about going in the mornings, because the fresh new product is put out then. Although, I wouldn’t say that the “best product” is put out on the weekends!! Awesome video, I love your content! I’m an interior design student and I love to see other people’s decor advice and styles

[@ArvinOlano]

Ahhh this is AMAZING I’m sure it’s the same way

[@ElectrologyNow]

YES! Just buy it! A couple years ago, I was at a consignment store and saw an amazing bronze piece of two manta rays (85 pounds with a black marble base). The price was $700 and I noticed the artist's name (Dale Evers). I knew something was wrong and called the artist. He said this was a 1 or 1 because the mold and form was destroyed. The original price paid was $9,000! A rich person dropped off a ton of stuff and then left the country. So, the store just wanted to get rid of it. If I had hesitated ... GONE y'all. So Arvin is right ... go for it. I could never afford such a piece ... I'm still happy about i.

[@TheInkMark]

Nobody asked but here are more tips from a HomeGoods insider. (1) Ask an Associate when that store is getting its trucks delivered and when the merchandise from those trucks is coming out. As Arvin said HG flows merchandise to the sales floor before the store opens but things will keep coming out until the back room is cleared out. Furniture, lamps, wall decor, mirrors and rugs come out later than merchandise from other departments since they are larger and/or require more time to process. (2) If you see something you want, buy it right then because it will not be there when you come back later that day or tomorrow. HG gives you 30 days to return items, so buy what you want and return it if it doesn’t work out in your home. (3) Never skip a HomeGoods grand opening! Stores get the best, creme de la creme, merchandise for grand openings so you will find some amazing items. (4) Shop your HG regularly and often and lastly (5) be kind to and get to know some of the store’s Associates. We are there to provide great customer service and want to help you. We are also a wealth of information about our store and you can use this to snag those gorgeous and oh so stylish pieces for less than retail.

[@ArvinOlano]

Yessss for sure !!!!

[@TREEMEISTER.]

I work there. You’re advice is close but not quite all the way there. Here are the 2 things I am willing to share. Something you got right and something you aren’t correct about. 1.you are absolutely correct about location being key, suburban locations are best. 2. A lot of stores put out some of the best merchandise near closing. Mainly because of how certain items need to be opened up carefully from shipping. If it is easy to open and put out it’ll be there in the morning. But if it’s labor intensive it’s more likely to be on the floor much later when there is more downtime. Especially for things like ornate lamps or furniture.

[@ArvinOlano]

[@archonicon]

Arlin speaks the truth. I bought a bunch of stuff from home goods when I moved from Concord to San Francisco. I found my golden egg when went to home goods in Moraga in SF Bay area. I found and bought a floor to ceiling 7.5'x 4' heavy black chestnut framed mirror by Ralph Lauren. the thing must have weighed well over 100 lbs because we could barely lift it off the ground and had to slide it across our wooden floor with a towel underneath. We picked it up for only $200.00. I checked retail online and the price tag was $950.00
