Some of the best home decor scores come when you least expect them. Maybe you're out shopping for some new towels and a striking vase catches your eye, or you're getting groceries at your favorite supermarket and stumble across the coziest blanket you've ever felt. These surprise finds feel especially great when they come at a bargain, too. So, we've rounded up five unexpected places where you can find great deals on home decor. Hint: The supermarket may become your new favorite place to buy homewares.

Costco

While you’re picking up that 5-gallon jug of mayo or a year’s supply of allergy medication—don’t forget to check out the home goods options at Costco. For example, the Kirkland 680 Thread Count Sheet Set costs just $75.99 and comes in a variety of colors, including white, dark blue, and grey. This set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and four pillowcases.

While you're at it, Costco is also a great place to find towels. This Egyptian Cotton Towel Set is $40 and includes two towels. Choose from six colors, including a stylish shade of orange, white, green, and dark blue.

Costo has a plethora of other items for the home including televisions, vacuum cleaners, and smaller appliances, like blenders. It’s a true one-stop shop.

Sam’s Club

Sam’s Club members can also score great deals on decor. This store is stocked with fabulous finishing touches that every home needs. One example is this Decorative Storage Basket by Becki Owens. Use it to stash throw blankets in the living room or extra towels in the bathroom. The possibilities are endless.

Another excellent find at Sam’s Club is the Member's Mark Cotton Gauze 2-Pack Pillows. Where else can you find a two-pack of pillows for just $20? These are great for a sofa, bed, or even on an accent chair. Choose from six colors, including pink, green, and purple.

Trader Joe's

Everyone loves Trader Joe’s. From everything you need for the ultimate charcuterie plate to frozen meals and snacks galore—it’s a treasure trove of goodness. In addition to food, you’ll also find great prices on flowers and plants. Seasonal bouquets can be found for only $10. So go ahead and buy yourself some flowers.

While you're walking around the aisles, don't miss out on the candles. While availability can change seasonally and by store—past scents have included Mango Tangerine, Cedar Balsam, and Peony Blossom. Right now, Chocolate Croissant Candles are just $3.99.

Dollar Tree

While it should really be called $1.25 Tree because most items are no longer just a dollar, the Dollar Tree is a great spot for affordable home items, such as dinnerware. There are lots of beautiful styles available from contemporary blue flowers to fun lemon prints, and modern marble prints. From plates to cups and even decorative chargers, this big box discounter is a great place to fill your cabinets—especially if you have a dinner party coming up.

Dollar Tree is also a great source for cheap picture frames. From faux wood to gold-tone options, these simple frames look lovely on shelves and nightstands.

Aldi

Check out the decor selection at your local Aldi for on-trend serving pieces that look more expensive than the price tag would have you believe. The Huntington Home Ceramic Bowl, for example, is the perfect item for keeping lemons on your kitchen island or dining room table. It’s just $12.99 but it looks rather similar to this bowl from CB2 which costs $300.

Or, for just $14.99 don’t miss out on this Crofton Oversized Serving Bowl. It's practically a dupe for this Nambé bowl for a fraction of the price.
