INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Plan Administrator of the
Consolidated Stores Corporation Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN (the Plan) as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of
(1) assets held for investment as of December 31, 1995, and (2) reportable
transactions in excess of five percent of the current value of Plan assets for
the year ended December 31, 1995, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplemental information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
administrator. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 1995 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PLAN DESCRIPTION
On December 31, 1995, there were 8,566 employees eligible to participate in the
Plan. On that date 3,094 were participating.
The following brief description of the Consolidated Stores Corporation Savings
Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to
the Plan document for more complete information.
The purposes of the Plan are to encourage employee savings, to facilitate
employee ownership of the Common Stock of Consolidated Stores Corporation, and
to provide benefits during the employee's participation in the Plan and upon
retirement, death, disability or termination of employment.
The administrator of the Plan is Consolidated Stores Corporation Savings Plan
Committee ("Committee"). Effective January 31, 1996, Fifth Third Trust and
Investment Services was appointed as successor trustee to State Street Bank and
Trust Company. (see TRUST AGREEMENT).
All employees of Consolidated Stores Corporation and any of its subsidiaries
("Company") which have adopted the Plan are eligible to participate.
Participants must have attained age twenty-one and have completed one year of
service prior to eligibility. Eligible employees may begin participation on the
first day of the month following satisfaction of eligibility requirements. For
any plan year, participants may contribute to the Plan any whole dollar amount
not less than 1% of their compensation for such plan year but not more than the
lesser of $7,000 (or such larger amount in accordance with Code Section 415(d)
which is $9,240 as of January 1, 1995) or 15% of their compensation for the plan
year. The Company made matching contributions to the Plan on behalf of
participants in an amount equal to 100% of the first 1%, 75% of the second 1%,
and 50% of the next 4%, of the employee's first 6% contribution. The Company's
matching contributions will always be made in the form of Common Stock of the
Company.
Participants may elect to allocate their elective contribution to any of the
Investment Funds (see INVESTMENT PROGRAMS) in increments of 25%. Additionally,
this allocation may be revised or investment balances may be transferred by the
participant upon notifying participant services by telephone.
Each participant shall be fully vested in the Company's matching contributions
allocable to their account in the event of retirement or other termination of
employment on or after his or her 65th birthday, on account of disability, as
defined, or by reason of death.
A participant whose employment terminates under circumstances other than those
described in the preceding paragraph will be vested in a portion of the
Company's matching contribution based on years of service as follows:

PLAN DESCRIPTION - CONTINUED
Vested
Years of Service Percentage
-------------------------- ----------
Less than 2 --
At least 2 but less than 3 25
At least 3 but less than 4 50
At least 4 but less than 5 75
5 or more 100
The portion of the Company's matching contribution that is not fully vested will
be forfeited at the time employment terminates. The Company has the right to
terminate or amend the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, the Plan
assets will be distributed to the participants, after payment of any expenses
properly chargeable thereto, in proportion to their respective account balances.
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance.
Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to the Loan and Short Term
Investment fund from the Participant investment funds. One loan per participant
may be outstanding at any time and the loan term may not exceed 5 years. Loans
are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the
prime rate plus 1% (rounded to the next 1/4%) as quoted in The Wall Street
Journal as of the most recent quarters end when the loan application is
approved. Loan repayments, including interest, are through regular payroll
deductions. Loan balance may be paid off at any time without penalty.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting.
INVESTMENTS. Investments are reflected in the accompanying statement of net
assets available for benefits at market value, which is the valuation of the
security or interest in an equity fund at year-end as determined by the quoted
market price.
NET APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) ON INVESTMENTS. Realized gains and losses are
determined on a first-in, first-out basis utilizing a revalued cost which is
calculated using beginning of the year market values, or purchase price if
acquired during the year. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments
is calculated as the market value at the end of the year less the market value
at the beginning of the year, or purchase price if acquired during the year.
BENEFITS PAYABLE. As of December 31, 1995, net assets available for benefits
included benefits of $72,398 due to participants who have withdrawn from
participation in the Plan.

TRUST AGREEMENT
Under a trust agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company is responsible for
investing the participants' contributions in the funds designated by each
participant. In addition, the trustee processes and distributes all
distributions from the Plan based on information provided by the Company.
Administrative fees due under the trust agreement are paid by the Company.
INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, participants could direct
their contributions to different funds of the Plan as described below:
Money Market Funds
- ------------------
MERRILL LYNCH RETIREMENT PRESERVATION TRUST. The Merrill Lynch Retirement
Preservation Trust (the "RP Trust") is a collective trust fund that invests
primarily in Investment Contracts (GICs) and United States Government and United
States Government Agency securities. The RP Trust invests a lesser portion of
the portfolio in high quality, money market instruments. The RP Trusts primary
objective is to achieve high current income consistent with preservation of
capital and liquidity. Dividends are declared and invested daily.
Mutual Funds
- ------------
MERRILL LYNCH BASIC VALUE FUND, INC. The Merrill Lynch Basic Value Fund, Inc.
(the "BV Fund") is a diversified, open-end, investment company seeking capital
appreciation and, secondarily, income by investing in securities, primarily
equities, that management of the BV Fund believes are undervalued and therefore
represent basic investment value. The BV Fund seeks special opportunities in
securities that are selling at a discount either from book values or historical
price-earnings ratios, or seem capable of recovering from temporarily out of
favor conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on securities which provide an
above average dividend return and sell at below average price-earnings ratio.
MERRILL LYNCH CAPITAL FUND, INC. The Merrill Lynch Capital Fund, Inc. (the
"Capital Fund") seeks to achieve the highest total investment return consistent
with prudent risk through a fully managed investment policy utilizing equity,
debt and convertible securities. This permits management of the Capital Fund to
vary investment policy based on evaluation of changes in economic and market
trends. Total investment return is the aggregate of income and capital value
changes. Consistent with this policy, the Capital Fund's portfolio may, at any
given time, be invested substantially in equity securities, corporate bonds or
money market securities. It is the expectation of the Capital Fund's management
that, over a longer period, a major portion of the Capital Fund's portfolio will
consist of equity securities of larger market capitalization, quality companies.
MERRILL LYNCH GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND, INC. The Merrill Lynch Global Allocation
Fund, Inc. the ("Global Fund") is a non-diversified mutual fund seeking high
total investment return, consistent with prudent risk,

Mutual Funds - Continued
- ------------------------
through a fully-managed investment policy utilizing United States and foreign
equity, debt, and money market instruments, the combination of which will be
varied from time to time both with respect to types of securities and markets in
response to changing market and economic trends. Total investment return is the
aggregate of capital value changes and income. The Global Fund may employ a
variety of instruments and techniques to enhance income and to hedge against
market and currency risk.
Company Stock Fund
- ------------------
Consolidated Stores Corporation Stock Fund Contributions are invested in Common
Shares of Consolidated Stores Corporation. All employer matching contributions
are made to this fund.
TAX STATUS
The Plan and its Trust qualify for special tax treatment under Sections 401(a),
401(k), and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Qualification under these sections means the Plan is exempt from Federal income
tax. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements.
