Let's face it- people will do anything to relieve the stress that occurs throughout their everyday lives. It turns out that a 2013 survey suggested that one in three recently stressed Americans were said to shop to deal with their stress, which turns into a whopping 91% of the population overall. Retail therapy is a real thing, people!
Although the summer feels — and everything great that comes along with it — are starting to settle in, there are definitely still everyday stressors that haunt everyone. Luckily for Americans, however, because Home Goods is here to help us all out. A lot of people may forget that this store even exists, and that is a shame because this is one that does not only fail to disappoint but can do wonders for the shopping soul. Have no fear, because Home Goods is here to solve all your problems one random item at a time!
They literally have everything you need (and don't need)
The aisles of Home Goods are filled with everything- from furniture and wall art to knick-knacks and statuettes. Whatever you are looking for you can most definitely find here, and even if you aren't looking for anything, in particular, you are bound to want to get something on your way out the door.
Even through the organized mess, it's still an aesthetic
The thing about the shelves at Home Goods is that they are the literal definition of an organized mess- in a good way! The aisles are categorized by item, but the shelves still look like they are a mess because the items are usually strewn all over.

From everyday items to dorm necessities, plan to do your back-to-school shopping here instead.
For as inexpensive as it is, they still have really cute things
