Dollar General has SB stuff!

I never thought about looking at the Dollar Stores and Dollar General for SB stuff. But I just checked out my local Dollar General Store. I found some great stickers and some awesome birthday printed paper! They also had a few diecuts that were cute but didn't really go w/ any of my projects at the moment. I think they also had some very nice winter themed paper. They had a really small collection but, the stuff they had was really cute! Anyway, I got 6 sheets of patterned paper for $1.00!!! Also all the stickers came w/ 2 sheets and they were $1.00 as well! I totally couldn't believe it. Seems so weird but I say, "Hey as long as its acid free, who really cares where it comes from!"

Just thought I would share my great finds w/ you! I guess it really makes ya think to keep ALL the possiblity's open!

dollar general is great -- they have a few things, keep checking back and sometimes they add more. Also, if you have a dollar tree, look there; they have some patterened paper, stencils, templates, stickers, etc. You name it; they have it. Don't be limited by just the scrapbook area. Go to the office supplies and school supplies areas as well. When you go to Walmart and Target, look everywhere. It is amazing how cool things like colored staples and spiral clips are really expensive at the LSS, but you can get them at Walmart and Target for less.

Also, look at the hardware stuff, I just bought my first roll of Dry Wall tape to use -- it looks like magic mesh, but a LOT cheaper. I also bought some hinges to use (of course, I bent one, trying to attached with eyelets and the hammer -- not a pretty picture-- so, I will try them with brads next time)

HTH

I do the same thing--I look everywhere for supplies!! Dollar stores have nice pins and jewelry to use on pages. Also, Staples is the best for round metal tags--you get a ton for about $6.00--if you take ten and label them for scrappin, its at least 1/2 as much!!

have any of yall tried the $5 top loading sbs at dollar general? i have one but have not used it yet. I know that when I do though, I will probably cover it caue it has "memory book" embossed in gold on front..unless you know how to get rid f that?

Its great to hear about other stores that carry cheaper scrapbook stuff!! I will defintely have to check out all of our dollar stores (about 5 of them)hopefully I will find something I can use!!

i never thought to look anywhere but a dollar store for sbing supplies.

i use streamers, tissue paper, packing tape and lots of other lil things from dollar stores.

it's not like ilive in a small city where there are no craft stores but i never thought sbing was so huge :>

I went to Dollar Tree (everything is $1) and I got tons of stuff. They have kits with 5 or 6 pages of cordinating paper. Some kits come with tags and borders. They also sells stickers that match. I spent $20 but got a lot.
