Well…
For those who care, things NOT to buy at Home Goods are things you shouldn’t be buying anywhere because they are deemed to be in poor taste. That said, people should buy whatever makes them happy, poor taste or not.
We all know these things are subjective.
I bought a comforter at home goods probably about 8 years ago, and it still looks great. It gets washed often.
