In my area, there are two "Dollar Stores". Their prices have gone up to $1.25/item and $1.50/item. I don't have a Target or Michaels within the city and I don't drive. (It's not a big deal in San Francisco). ;)

I can only assume this is not the only locale that is having this issue. I am happy to send the five items myself, but if for any reason your dollar stores are pricier and you are having problems finding quality at $5.00 please let your partner or myself know BEFORE sending your packages.

Many thanks!

Hi, Just a suggestion...I don't limit myself to dollar stores and Targets, etc. I've been finding really great deals in the clearance area of the drugstore or even the hospital gift shop. I got a Gund ornament ($6.95) for $1 in a mystery bag at the hospital...I also got recipe cards in another bag...you don't know what you will get but it is always worth more than a dollar. Anyhow, don't limit yourself the deals are out there!

Very true, @mydnite Thank you! :)

I just spent a too much at Michaels and got some GREAT deals! Lots of excellent crafting things for less than $1!

I'd love to participate in this swap...unfortunately, things have been really hectic for me lately. (Staci, you already know the deets.) Will you be hosting another one?
