14 HomeGoods Checkout Aisle Items Worth Grabbing in August (All Under $15)

The linen section has trendy, high-thread-count sets of bargain-priced bedding that make it easy to keep more cash in your wallet; the home interior department is stocked with sophisticated styles; and the framed art area houses mini masterpieces. While you might shop almost every square foot of HomeGoods, we noticed one space that customers easily overlook — the checkout aisle.

The surprise is you'll find more than just cash registers at the end of the store. Instead of breezing past these bargains, we stopped to survey the selection.

What late-summer/early-autumn hidden treasures did we unearth in this often-ignored area? Here are 14 checkout section selections that you need to check out this August. And bonus, they're all under $15.
