The Dollar Store?

I've read about people going to the dollar store for some things to use in their scrapbooks. Well, I went and found nothing
What kinds of things did you all find there? I'm all about finding cheap things to use..Maybe I'm not being imaginative enough?

Thanks,
Sara

My dollar store has a whole scrapbook area with paper, punches, stickers, albums, adhesives, brads, charms, and other embellies. It changes all the time. I love shopping there.

My Dollar General has cardstock, patterned paper , stickers, albums, etc. I can also usually find coloring books to use for pieced paper items, and the toy section always has something I can use. Not having a lss, I have to be inventive. The only other outlets for scrapping supplies here are WalMart and the office supply store. I don't go to the office supply store often, because I find it hard to leave. They don't have all that much scrapping stuff, but all those pens...and notebooks....and paperclips...and staples....oooohhhh, I may have to go there tomorrow....

Maybe I should go to a different one..I didnt see any of that. Thanks!

two by me had nothing, some stickers but they were just stickers. another as a hanger thing with some stuff, paper and stickers...nothing I really like though. They're all different.

I go to 'Dollar Tree' allot and they have tons of stuff all the time in their scrapbook section. I do try other dollar stores and so far I have found two others that have a decent array of scrapbook things most of the time.

Yes our Dollar Tree does too and same with the 98 cent and 99cent stores.......gosh I hope they have them when we move in 2 weeks (if not I've been stocking up for awhile......lol).

Yes, my hometown has one but it's small section. I tried other one in other town and it has lot more than my hometown. Recently I found so cute stickers made of foam in my hometown... it said to use for wall but I can use it for scrapbook anyway because they are disney characters . I can post it up if you want to see...

The larger Dollar Tree stores have some really great buys on all kinds of theme paper, embellishments, stickers, etc. It's great.

A friend told me to watch LTD Commodities for their scrapbook stuff. They really have good buys. It's http://www.ltdcommodities.com but they do run out of stock, so if you want it, you need to buy it when you see it.

i'll have to check out the dollar store in my area.

Sara, I just sent you a PM with another site you might try for good buys for scrapbooking. We have four "Dollar" stores in our area, three have scrapping supplies and one doesn't.

Our $ store has alot. I just went the other day and loaded up on foam squares. They also have, PP, PP scrap packs, embellies, adhesive runners (although I haven't had much luck with it ), wire words, metal brads, punches, scissors, stickers....almost anything you can think of. If there's anything in particular you're looking, I could check it out for you! Good luck!

I found some SandyLion stickers at the Dollar Store today. They were cute.

I get quite a bit at our Dollar stores too. IMO Dollar Tree has the best selection. Some of the stuff at Dollar General is nice, and some of it is cheap looking. The other thing I've realized about $1 scrapbook shopping is that you have to go frequently because the items turn over really fast.

That's true, but you have to shop what you've got, and I've got the Dollar General, Walmart, and the office supply place....oh, and the one part of an aisle at CVS.

Not all Dollar Tree's have the scrapping stuff. If it isn't a great demand, they discontine carrying it. We have a Dollar Tree right next to Michaels here and well, they don't carry scrap stuff. I also went to the Dollar tree when I was back home in Jersey and the one by my mother's house didn't have anything at all and claimed that it was because they were by a retirement community and senior citizen's don't scrap. Thought I'd let the manager think that and NOT create a riot LOL The other one across her town has just ONE small spinning rack of misc items. The one in South Jersy where my daughter lives (near ATlantic City) THAT one was loaded!!

We have a couple Dollar Trees and one has a better selection than the other. I've seen double sided tape, adhesive runners (Tombo is better but they're good to have on hand, not as wide as Tombo), stickers, albums, stamps, letter templates, 3 ring binder page protectors (you get 10 in a package but I find I have to trim my paper down a little bit to get it to fit right). I haven't seen the brads or eyelets yet, unfortunately.

the one that i go has packs of paper, stampers, glue sticks, eye lets, paper cutters, stickers, abc templates, and paper cut outs.....the paper mine has is really cute paper.

I love our Dollar Tree, it has tons of different letter stickers, and other embellies. Brads and eyelets, and all kinds of stuff. I spent about 20 minutes in there last week. Would have been longer if my kiddo wasn't whining to leave because he wasn't feeling well.

My Dollar Tree has a tiny scrapbook section. I like some of their paper packs and alphabet stickers. For a buck I certainly can't complain.

My dollar store has paper packs, stickers, albums, punches, adhesive, and eyelets. It's hit or miss what you will find

Another bargain place is Big Lots.
