We covered a lot of stores and websites in 2017. We talked a lot about IKEA, Target, Costco, Trader Joe's, and the other usual suspects. We also ran plenty of stories on some lesser-known shopping options; places you should be shopping at but aren't yet.

In case you missed it — or need a refresher — here are two-dozen places, in alphabetical order, for great finds and even better deals.

As the title of the original post (below) suggests, if HomeGoods and World Market had a baby, this store would be it. There aren't many (just 125), but the stores that do exist are massive — 120,000 square feet on average with 50,000 different items! The prices are low and they carry everything including flatware, dining chairs, cookware, decorative items, and more. The only problem: They don't have e-commerce, so you've gotta go to a physical store.

Okay, so this one is technically a brand and not a store or a website, but stick with us because it's really worth knowing about. It's a Danish home design company (actually located in Denmark), that makes dinnerware, glassware, vases, lighting, pillows, rugs, coffee tables, and so much more. It was brought to the U.S. in 2014 and it's still expanding. Look for its Scandinavian wares on Amazon, Wayfair, AllModern, and Bloomingdales.

If you love Costco, you'll love this warehouse store. It's affectionately known as BJ's (let's keep it clean here, folks) by residents of the East Coast. The are 210 clubs in 16 states from Maine to Florida, although the heaviest concentration of them is in the Northeast. If you aren't familiar, we suggest you plan a trip.

Have you ever heard of a Costco Business Center? It's like Costco — only different. Although you don't need a special membership to shop at one — just a regular Costco card will do! — these specialty stores have a more restaurant-geared focus and carry a different line of merchandise than their regular warehouse stores. We went shopping to find the best buys.
