This big-box discount store also supports several alternative payment options that aren’t always available at other stores. You can use the BNPL apps Klarna, Sezzle, and Zip to shop there as well as PayPal credit. It doesn’t accept Afterpay or Affirm, though.

Additionally, you can use EBT for in-store purchases at Big Lots stores that sell groceries. Unlike many grocery stores, though, Big Lots hasn’t signed up for the SNAP online purchasing pilot program so you can’t use EBT to buy groceries from its online store. If you’re looking for alternatives, you can use EBT to shop online at Walmart and Food 4 Less.

You can also use Big Lots’ lease-to-own program to finance some of the pricier items it sells such as furniture.
